Chuck Todd is defending a segment on Sunday’s “Meet the Press” that featured black prison inmates discussing their regrets over past gun violence.
While some have praised the video, many more social media users complained that it had no place in a debate about the tragic deaths of nine African-American churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina at the hands of an alleged white supremacist.
As part of the NBC show’s coverage of the Charleston church massacre, Todd introduced a video featuring convicted murderers at the infamous Sing Sing Correctional Facility in New York, talking about how they never meant to kill anyone when they grabbed a gun.
