NBC News correspondents at the Republican National Convention (RNC) have already interrupted two prayers, with the most recent incident leading to delegates telling the outlet’s reporter to “shut up,” according to Daily Caller White House News Correspondent Reagan Reese.
As the RNC kicked off Monday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, NBC’s Vaughn Hillyard was seen apologizing Tuesday to host Jen Psaki as she attempted to cut to him as he could be seen in the RNC audience.
“What have you been hearing from people there?” Psaki asked.
“Jen I hate to do this to you, but they just started a prayer and I don’t want to interrupt it in this crowd,” Hillyard responded as the audience members near him could be seen with their head bowed already.
Psaki quickly picked up the time as Hillyard tossed it back to her, as she agreed that they wouldn’t want to “talk over a prayer.” yeah you would soulless harpy
