Chuck Todd, NBC’s political director, chief White House correspondent and host of MSNBC’s The Daily Rundown appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Wednesday, May 7 to pour cold water on the new Benghazi select committee. Todd appeared on Morning Joe during two separate segments Wednesday morning to suggest that the Benghazi special committee “has a whiff of politics to it. To some people more than a whiff.” Speaking to co-host Joe Scarborough during the 6:00 a.m.. hour, Todd criticized the GOP over the committee: “I don’t understand why the Republicans didn’t say to Nancy Pelosi, she said she wants an even split. You know, and instead of beating her up and saying well she didn’t call for an even split before, say, okay, great. You believe this committee should be there. You know what, that’s fine, we’ll do an even split, let’s go.”
