MSNBC reporter Cal Perry was humiliated live on air when he tried to shame passersby for not wearing masks in Wisconsin — even as most of his crew were also unprotected.
Perry was complaining on air about the fact that no one was wearing a face masks as they walked about in public, enjoying the Memorial Day weekend.
The masked reporter then turned his cameraman to shoot a man walking past, saying on air, “As you can see, no one is wearing them.”
“Including the cameraman,” the local shot back, soon adding that “half your crew’s not wearing them.”
Perry was clearly embarrassed, and appeared to cut the segment short, looking down to the ground as he admitted, “There you go, including the cameraman. Yeah.”
The reporter’s blunder caught a ton of traction after President Trump’s son Don Jr. one of those who retweeted a clip of the exchange that by Wednesday morning had been seen more than 2.8 million times.
This is what one would call a ‘live news – fail’.
