Chuck Todd Thinking Quotations

Voters definitely believe Washington is corrupt - but most think its bipartisan.

The idea now that we're going to fight terrorism through gun control I think is just utterly fatuous.

More Americans, and I have my own anecdotes of people that have a friend that never would've had a gun, thought about, and now is thinking about it.

When Dylann Roof walked into a black church, he wanted to start a race war. We didn't let him do that because we didn't cast him as a representative of the white race. We didn't give into his narrative. We did the exact opposite. And I think that we have to be careful not to give into the apocalyptic narrative of ISIS that wants to start a war between Muslims and everybody else.

I would say that ISIS wants us to think so. And I think that's the real danger here. It's that what ISIS wants the narrative to be is that they are the true Muslims.

I think that we may lose the argument, but I think we have to talk about gun control.

There's no way you are going to get rid of the Second Amendment, there's no way you're going to get rid of the First Amendment, and people have to understand how important this is. But I think when they see more and more killings, we have to figure out, of course what we are going to do about it. And I don't think the criminal justice system has an answer.
