Taking time away from the network’s daily bashing of the Trump administration, on Friday’s NBC Today, correspondent Andrea Mitchell spent over three minutes hoping for Barack Obama’s “comeback” to the public spotlight and gushing over the former president receiving an award from the Kennedy family.
Mitchell began the report by cheering: “Nearly two months after leaving office, former President Barack Obama is planning his return to the spotlight, named this year's winner of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage award.” She touted the supposed reasons for the honor: “In part for his leadership on climate change and expanding health care.” Mitchell then fretted: “Two achievements now at risk with the election of Donald Trump.”
