NBC host Chuck Todd interrupted Sen. Ron Johnson on "Meet the Press" Sunday, in the middle of an explanation of his challenge to the 2020 election results.
The heated exchange began on the topic of several Congressional Republicans' intention to challenge the 2020 electoral votes on Jan. 6.
"So right now we are locked into a destructive vicious circle,... you made an allegation that there was widespread fraud, you have failed to offer specific evidence of that widespread fraud, but you're demanding an investigation on the grounds that there are allegations of widespread fraud," Todd posed to Sen. Johnson.

"So essentially, you're the arsonist here. President Trump is the arsonist here," he continued.
Sen. Johnson pushed back on Todd's accusation, "This was started when the mainstream media dropped any pretense of being unbiased, and actually chose sides during this election," Johnson responded.

"The fire was started when you completely ignored our investigation of Hunter Biden," Johnson explained.
Todd cut in, "Senator, I've had enough of hearing this."
Johnson replies, "Listen, I've had enough of this too."
Chuck Todd just cut off Sen. Johnson who was raising media bias by saying "I have had enough of this." Johnson was arguing for the creation of a Commission to look at the election which Todd is rejected as entirely unnecessary despite millions who view the election as rigged.
