So, why would MSNBC break in to show the Orange Jesus and his handler-wife paying "respects" to RBG

in the same week he said 'Jews are just in it for themselves?' Hmm?

He didn't pay respects to McCain, he doesn't like people who were captured.

He doesn't go to soldiers' graveyards to pay respects to "losers and suckers".

He doesn't pay respect to the over 200,000 Americans who died from his virus.

Pssst, it's a fucking photo op. Stop falling for it. Just stop.

Press, do your job.

Also, it let everyone hear the crowd yelling, "Vote him out!"

MSNBC is a news network, so it covers the news.

he is doing poorly with, as he knows RBG is widely respected and popular with the pro-choice soccer moms.

Of course he and Moscow Mitch are gleeful that she's dead so he can jam through an anti-choice RW nut.

edit: MSNBC obviously covering it because it's an important event.
