Chuck Todd and Ron Johnson collide in a heated showdown

Chuck Todd told Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) to go back to his “partisan cable cocoon” during a heated interview after the Republican attacked Hunter Biden on Sunday (You can watch the two go back and forth below).

Johnson steered the discussion away from President Joe Biden’s discovery of classified documents to a familiar GOP talking point about the Hunter Biden laptop investigation during his “Meet The Press” appearance.

Todd asked Johnson if he thought the president’s son committed a crime and added that it’s not a “crime to make money under your last name” before the two got down to business.

“I take your word for it that you are ethically outraged by Hunter Biden…” Todd said.

“Isn’t it true? Isn’t it true?” Johnson asked instead.

“I’m a reporter, covering the facts,” Todd replied.

Todd later noted that Johnson should be “just as outraged” by former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who took out a loan from the Qatari government while working at the White House on Middle East policy.

Johnson, who said he wasn’t “targeting people” but rather the truth, went after Todd, who took aim at Hunter Biden.

“Part of the problem, and this is pretty obvious to anyone watching this, is that you’re not inviting me to be interviewed. You’re inviting me to argue,” said Johnson, who later said the media is biased and part of the reason politics is “inflamed.”

“You can go back to your partisan cable cocoon and talk about media bias all you want, I understand that’s part of your identity…” Todd snapped.
