Kellyanne Conway, a journalist from the White House, talked to Kellyanne Conway on Meet the Press on January 22, 2017, the day after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer accused the media of deliberately underreporting the crowd size at President Trump's inaugural event. Conway replied to Todd's query about the allegations: "I am confident that they are untrue," Conway said.
Todd interrupted her, saying:
Todd, alongside Jose Diaz-Balart, Savannah Guthrie, Lester Holt, and Rachel Maddow moderated the first two Democratic presidential debates in 2020 on June 26 and 27, 2019. Todd's performance as a moderator, in which he ended up speaking more than four of the presidential candidates on the first night of the debates, was highly criticized. Todd was also chastised for asking lengthy questions of candidates and then asking them to respond "in a few words."
Todd discussed his disinformation in a Rolling Stone interview in December 2019. Nevertheless, even though Todd had referred to "alternative truth" being lies in January 2017, PressThink, a project of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University, took responsibility for failing to investigate the issues as they unfolded.
On February 11, 2020, Todd came under fire after quoting a conservative columnist on air during his show about 2020 presidential nominee Bernie Sanders that compared Sanders and his allies to Nazi Brownshirts.
With #FireChuckToddd trending on Twitter, the remarks were met with immediate backlash. During the Nazi Holocaust, Sanders, a Jewish immigrant, lost many family members. Neither Sanders' campaign nor MSNBC's coverage of the incident.
