A GOP lawmaker was invited to appear on Chuck Todd’s show on Friday, but the odds of him being able to appear are very grim.
Zack Brown, who previously served as the communications director for Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, shared a screenshot of an email he received inviting Young to be interviewed on Todd’s program “Meet the Press NOW” on the NBC News NOW streaming network.

“Unfortunately, @chucktodd, I don’t think Congressman Young’s schedule will allow him to be on Meet the Press with you tomorrow, but I’ll circle back if that changes. Thanks for reaching out!” Brown tweeted Thursday.
Brown also shared a screenshot of his response, which said, “Sadly Congressman Young passed away in March, but you all did a lovely tribute to him!”
