MSNBC Reporter Gets Utterly Humiliated On Air After Mask-Shaming Goes Horribly Wrong [Opinion]

The hypocrisy of MSNBC was exposed in a most delicious way by a passerby. MSNBC was attempting to shame the people of Wisconsin for not wearing their masks.

“Reporter” or shall we say, virtue-signaling hack, Cal Perry was humiliated by a Bolingbrook, Illinois man, Andy Olson.

Watch and enjoy the exchange.

Not even a mask can hide that defeat. https://t.co/RuWMLN8v9g

From The New York Post:

An MSNBC reporter 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.

Cal Perry was doing a live segment from Lake Geneva where he complained that “no one” was wearing masks as they enjoyed the Memorial Day sunshine.

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.”

Clearly embarrassed, Perry appeared to cut the segment short, looking down to the ground as he admitted, “There you go, including the cameraman. Yeah.”

This was simply the BEST. All Perry could do was throw his hands up. I mean really, what can you say when you’ve just been busted like that???

Here’s another video showing a different angle. This video was taken by Mr. Olson himself. As a side note, I must say that Olson’s phone takes amazing video quality.

Olson spoke to the local newspaper and explained why he fired back at the reporter.

“This is not about me, it is about getting the truth out there and exposing some of these people for what they are,” Olson said. “I wasn’t trying to be rude or ignorant, he turned the camera on me and tried to shame me and it backfired on him big time. It exposed him for his hypocrisy. The camera guy is there in plain view with a mask around his neck.

“Before they went live, they were congregated together within a couple feet of each other, there was no social distancing. The reporter, he had his mask on the whole time when we were there. But the cameraman was talking in his face and people were walking by almost rubbing elbows with him and he wasn’t freaking out and wasn’t social distancing himself from other people, so why is he calling out people on the street and mask shaming them.”

MSNBC ought to be ashamed. First of all, these people who were not wearing masks were all outside! There is very little risk of catching COVID-19 outside.

Second, practice what you preach. If MSNBC thinks masks are so super important that they are going to do a segment about the dolts in Wisconsin, at least make it believable by making all your crew wear masks.

This whole incident is just another example of hypocritical smarty pants liberals lecturing stupid common folk. What would we do without the mainstream media? How would we survive?

Kudos to the Andy Olson for calling Cal Perry out.
