Chuck Todd makes awkward remark amid deadly Texas winter storm: The only upside is people might wear a mask
At least 10 people have died as a result of worsening conditions in Lone Star State

The Lone Star State has been hit by devastating power outages after weather conditions froze parts of the electric grid. At least 10 people have died as a result of worsening conditions over the past several days.
Despite the grim news, the "Meet the Press" moderator suggested that there was at least one silver lining to come from the dangerous storm.
