Meet The Press (MTP) has a new host, Kristin Welker.
NBC celebrated the change from Chuck Todd as host with an interview of Cheeto.
OK - it was a ratings grab by NBC; the suits there don't actually care about Welker or Todd.
Cheeto was his usual self - arrogant, misogynistic, and hostile.
His disdain for women was on full display - he blamed Nancy Pelosi for the insurrection of January 6, 2021 and regularly talked over Welker - when he didn't just loudly refuse to answer one of her questions.
NBC's transcript of the interview is here, but I suggest watching the video of the interview in order to see Cheeto being Cheeto.
Interestingly, Cheeto's raging misogyny might help MTP address one of its glaring problems.
Like most other Sunday morning talkfests, MTP tends to give a platform to many Republican "insiders" of the DC genus but Cheeto has such a hold on R politicians and their thinking, that his misogyny might motivate them into avoiding any outlet hosted by a woman.
