MSNBC Columnist Shamelessly Grovels After Big DeSantis Scoop Is Proven False
MSNBC columnist Eric Michael Garcia begged for forgiveness like he owed the mob money Friday, when he realized a monster scoop implying a Supreme Court conspiracy was actually just him reading dates incorrectly.
The story, published in The Independent, initially reported that DeSantis “met with” Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas the “day before” the overturn of Roe v. Wade, which occurred on the morning of Jun. 24, 2022. There is just one problem: the meeting occurred in 2021, not 2022.
The story included snapshots of emails from Thomas’ staff about his meeting with DeSantis scheduled for June 23, 2021, one year before the court overturned the 1973 landmark decision.
The governor’s deputy press secretary, Jeremy Redfern, called out the article’s error on Twitter Friday. Garcia then responded describing how “embarrassed and humiliated” he is over the false scoop.
“Hey @EricMGarcia from the @Independent, Is June 23th, 2021 a day before June 24th, 2022?” Redfern said.
