Appearing on Monday's MSNBC Morning Joe, NBC chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd shared some inside information: "So I threw the Lincoln analogy at a close aide to the President last week, and he said, 'You know, with this Republican with the way politics of Washington are today, there'd still be slavery.' That Lincoln wouldn't have been able to navigate the polarization..." What a curious statement! Does Chuck Todd know that Lincoln was a Republican? Does he know that the Republicans freed the slaves? Is Chuck Todd educated?
