<p>Former &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; anchor Chuck Todd called on everyone to lower the temperature and tone down their political rhetoric — just moments before he himself amped up the rhetoric attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.</p>
<p>Todd&#8217;s comments came just days after a gunman — using apps promoted by Democrats and media outlets that track the movements of ICE agents in real time — opened fire on an ICE facility in Texas.</p>
<p>On his podcast — &#8220;The Chuck Toddcast&#8221; — Todd first remarked on the increasing political violence — and begged Americans to tone things down.</p>

<p>&#8220;Please, will everybody stop trying to decide whose side is more prone to violence? The fact of the matter is nobody&#8217;s hands are clean,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We have to turn down the rhetoric.&#8221;</p>

<p>Just a short time later, however, Todd himself was turning up the temperature on ICE agents.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to sit here and say ICE is bringing this upon themselves — but why are we masking the agents when they come after people?&#8221; he asked, leaving out the fact that ICE agents and their families have been doxxed and threatened — and that ICE officials have told them to wear masks in order to protect themselves from retaliatory action. &#8220;This is America. This is not jackbooted thugs coming in at the — you know, that is not what America is supposed to be.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When you sort of govern in a nihilistic way, you&#8217;re going to end up creating a lot of nihilists. And that&#8217;s a very scary proposition for those of us that would like to live in free, normal America,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Shortly after the ICE facility shooting, Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/go-straight-to-hell-jd-lights-up-nbc-for-retracted-anti-ice-story-one-day-before-attack">JD Vance</a> called out media personalities for driving the anti-ICE rhetoric.</p>
<p>&#8220;You don’t have to agree with my immigration policies. You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies,&#8221; Vance said at the time. &#8220;But your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell, and you have no place in the political conversation of the United States of America.&#8221;</p>
