senators: Sykes's commentary definitely exceeded Williams's expectations; especially when he compared Johnson to one of the left's favorite boogeymen the late Senator Joe McCarthy, according to MSNBC. At the beginning of the segment, Williams attempted to paint a narrative of President Trump losing support among Republican Senators by reading statements from Senators Mitt Romney and Susan Collins expressing disapproval of the President's suggestion that China investigate Joe Biden. After playing a clip of the exchange, host Brian Williams brought in Never Trumpers Charlie Sykes and Bill Kristol to join him in bashing Johnson. Williams admitted that most of the Republican Party are still defending the President before teeing up the footage of Todd's interview with Johnson. Williams proceeded to ask Sykes, Does Senator Johnson deserve to represent the people of Wisconsin Sykes accused Johnson of channeling the former Senator from the state of Wisconsin, Joe McCarthy, in spinning out these various conspiracy theories during his appearance on Meet the Press . Echoing Hillary Clinton's talking points, Sykes expressed hope that more Republicans will act like the late Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith, who took to the floor of the United States Senate and denounced the fear, ignorance, bigotry and smears of the McCarthy era. As he introduced his panel of anti-Trump Republicans, Williams held up Sykes as an example of the sturdy traditional kind of Republican you guys in Wisconsin have been producing for decades and generations.
