Former “Meet the Press” moderator and NBC News analyst Chuck Todd criticized Sen. Chuck Schumer for his implausible response to queries about his role in protecting President Joe Biden from questioning over his apparent cognitive decline over the years.

Todd was specifically addressing Schumer’s response to CNN’s Kasie Hunt’s questions about Schumer’s previous statements regarding Biden. Schumer (D-NY) brushed off concerns about Biden’s mental and physical capabilities as “right-wing propaganda.”

When Hunt questioned Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader gave little more than a dismissive answer, prompted by a new book by a pair of journalists seeking to expose the cover-up.

“We’re looking forward,” Schumer snidely responded.

As my RedState colleague Nick Arama writes, Schumer’s response loosely translates to, “We don’t even owe you an explanation or apology for what we did” in hiding Biden’s clear issues.

Some would say it’s also a big middle finger to the American people.
