Mark Shields Sends GOP Senators to Hell for Refusing ‘Meet the Press’ Invite
21st November 2020
On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, liberal pundit Mark Shields raged at Republican senators for universally rejecting a beating on NBC’s Meet the Press. Shields compared this to “Dante’s great quote that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in a time of moral crisis, remain neutral.”
Shields described the NBC show as an “important forum,” and avoided the obvious notion that under Chuck Todd, Republican Senators get yelled at for bringing “Fox News conspiracy propaganda” into their answers. Any Republican who showed up was going to be browbeaten into condemning the president’s failure to concede defeat.
