Chuck Todd Says He’s ‘Angry’ Because Trump ‘Cheapened’ America 250

TRANSCRIPT:

TODD: "For some people, the central text in their lives is religious, and I respect that. For me, the Constitution has always carried that kind of weight. So that’s why I’m so angry and feel betrayed. I do. I feel betrayed as an American by him on this. The Constitution is not perfect, but it gives us a way to keep going. It gives a structure for disagreement. It gives us a method for repair. It gives us the possibility of becoming better without pretending we were always good. Makes some of the same promises that some religious text do for people. And this is why I’m so pissed off. Not because I love the country less, but because I love the idea of America enough to resent seeing it cheapened by this man. America deserved better at 350. Some day, I believe it will get better. But it's in your hands."
