Chuck Todd‘s interview Sunday with Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace didn’t impress many on social media – including former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien — as he failed to follow up when the politician said there was pressure on her party to impeach President Biden if the GOP takes control of the House this November.“Good example for journalism students (and others!) to see how political journalists are failing you,” tweeted O’Brien of the syndicated news talk show “Matter of Fact.” During Rep.
