Chris Wallace on a FoxNews program one-to-one interview against Trump last month. Even Guthrie's unnecessarily deferential comment that you're not someone's crazy uncle wasn't accurate, as Mary Trump has been telling the world many weeks now.

History will judge NBC and Guthrie as iniquitous enablers who are complicit for all the additional Covid-19 sicknesses and deaths resulting from the looney lies uttered during this town hall which NBC gifted Teump directly in opposition to Biden's town hall on ABC. Trump mocked NBC for their gift in an earlier rally rant.

Nothing Guthrie did will console the loved ones of these victims for NBC's day of infamy. !00 NBC' staff pleaded in a memo with their management to at least change the time. If Guthrie and all other news personnel had demanded this time change, the greedy NBC bosses would've had no choice but to make their gift to Trump a bit less destructive to the health of multiple thousands of Americans. How will you feel if your loved ones can't get normal emergency or ICU care because your hospital is overflowing with Trump supporters with Covid-19 infections?
