Earlier on #AMJoy as we were talking about former Navy secretary Richard Spencer we mistakenly showed the wrong image of white supremacist Richard Spencer.

Which image of the white supremacist Richard Spencer did they mean to show?

Shit happens, but at least MSNBC doesn’t double down on their mistakes.
The shame of the whole thing is that former Navy Secretary Spence was Marine and white nationalist Spencer is punk.

Richard B. Spencer is the Nazi.

How hard is it to verify a photo from a story you’re running? Makes one think this might have been intentional.

Shitty, moronic, talentless editors and producers cost less. When you don’t much care about accuracy and excellence, it’s a bonus. Welcome to your network news.

I wonder if Dick, er Richard B. Spencer’s parents still support him? Do they belong to some group for Parents of America’s Top 25 Assholes (non-governmental chapter)?

Wow. Actual war photos of Spencer, taken on the front lines. Are these photos from the War on Whites?
