Holding back tears, she spoke of a longtime colleague and friend who just died from COVID-19 which "stole him away from us". Then she implored viewers to wash their hands and keep their distance.

1. Yes, I saw that as well. It was very moving.

[ProfessorGAC]

2. She Was Barely Able To Maintain

Then she ended with a safety message. Classy & heartfelt.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. And that was a major

move on her part. Tragic as it is,you can count on her being a very aggressive interviewer from now on.

[FiveGoodMen]

4. Keep Your Distance

5. I don't know how she held it together. I was sobbing.

[Ilsa]

6. I saw the announcement eatlier on Stephanie Ruhle's show.

Very sad indeed.

7. Andrea Mitchell too. You know that slam against NBC was enraging.

I wonder if he’s the man Craig Melvin and Al Roker went into quarantine after being exposed to. I suspect so. How sad and how terrifying to them.

10. I would

9. Thanks for the link, IrisBlue!

Not a good day for Drumph to be attacking ANY members of the press. (Not that it's ever a good day for that.)

11. He was also a colleague of Peter Alexander's

The orange menace called Alexander's question "terrible" and him a"nasty reporter"

12. the media is way too nice to the moron. i want to see real attacks.

13. When newspeople cry, I have more respect for them.

Cronkite with JFK and Dan Rather at Columbine come to mind.

Stephanie Ruhle during each school shooting as well.

14. I hope this ratchets up the truth telling about Trump's criminal negligence

To the nation. Why someone hasn’t launched a coup on his administration is something I simply don’t understand.

15. I did. It was beautiful.
