Chuck Todd: We Are Living in a Moment Where Republicans Are ‘Just Not Accepting Facts’

‘We are living in a moment where we have a part of one of our major political parties that is just not accepting the premise’

TODD: "If we were all accepting the rules of the road as they are, we are living in a moment where we have a part of one of our major political parties that is just not accepting the premise, is just not accepting facts that are facts, is just prioritizing loyalty to a person, even more so loyalty to a party, let alone loyalty to a country. I always think it's interesting that some of the criticism from some on the right is, you're too loyal to a party. It's a loyalty to a single individual, which is what makes this head-scratching, which is why you always hear all of these comments, 'Boy, behind closed doors, so and so says X,' because even they themselves were uncomfortable how loyal to an individual. But this go to the President's ability to talk over this. I love how the White House claims today the President stopped paying attention. He's Tweeting like a Tweet every 10 minutes."
