Emperor’s New Clothes Moment on Meet The Press

CNBC’s Rick Santelli committed the unpardonable sin on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this morning. He called out Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell for their pro-Hillary bias in the most direct and embarrassing way possible. Mitchell and host Chuck Todd didn’t like it one bit to get called out by one of their own, so they stamped their feet, insisted that the media emperor is too wearing a fine suit of unbiased, objective clothing, and changed the subject as fast as they could. Watch—just 15 seconds long:

Santelli, you may recall, is the person who arguably ignited the Tea Party movement with his famous rant from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange just one month into President Obama’s first term.

Prediction: Santelli won’t be invited back on “Meet the Press” any time soon.
