Chuck Todd returns to cable news television … pimping life insurance

Chuck Todd has made a less-than-triumphant return to television – and he is hawking life insurance.

Those watching Tuesday’s airing of CNN’s The Situation Room may have seen a familiar face, but not next to host Wolf Blitzer. Former Meet the Press host Chuck Todd could be seen selling Ethos life insurance in a 15-second ad about the importance of making sure your loved ones are covered after you pass away.

“I was 16 when my father passed away. My dad had one life insurance policy. It’s why I was able to go to college. Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos. You can get same-day coverage without ever leaving your home,” Todd says.

When he’s not trying to convince you to buy life insurance, Todd can likely be found screaming about something President Donald Trump has done.

As BizPac Review previously reported, Todd became irate over the Trump administration’s attacks on “narco-terrorist” boats in the Caribbean. Ranting on his show, The Chuck Todd Cast, he lamented that the government wasn’t out to send a message by arresting the people on the boats, but rather by sinking them entirely.

“[T]aking out this ship, not boarding it, not sending the message that way, not arresting these individuals or boarding the ship or, frankly, to make sure you know what you know, they quote just decided to send a message. This is what Secretary [of State Marco] Rubio said. And again, I know politically this is going to seem popular. The ends justify the means. We’re getting rid of these bad narco traffickers. This is good. Venezuela, if [Venezuelan dictator Nicolas] Maduro’s upset, this is good. But we have a Constitution. We have a process,” he said.

“We’re sitting here behaving no differently than Putin’s been behaving in his region. He designated Ukraine as essentially a threat like this. They were not. He used the word Nazis. And all of this has been his rationale for invading this country in their own sort of way, again claiming some version of self-defense. This is the same crap that Putin’s pulling, except he’s not in a democracy and we are!” Todd added.

I just saw a tv commercial for Ethos Life Insurance featuring Chuck Todd on Fox News Channel. Chuck Todd is a worm and I wouldn’t trust any company that hires him as a spokesman. I think Ethos is wasting their money on FNC.
