TikToker fact-checks news anchor at American Girl store, makes 'sickening' discovery

The clip, recorded by producer and reporter @MannyFidel and uploaded by @MSNBC, quickly gained over 730,000 views and 5,000 comments.

Newsmax anchor Rob Finnerty, host of the show “Wake Up America,” claims in a clip from Dec. 12 to have visited the American Girl store in Rockefeller Center in New York City in search of a doll that looked like his little daughter.

However, according to the anchor, he couldn’t find a single doll that resembled his “cute little 6-year-old white girl.” “The whole place was, like, wokeified,” Finnerty reported.

This claim prompted MSNBC reporter Manny Fidel to visit that same American Girl store to see if he could find a “white girl doll” — and his findings are now going viral across TikTok.

1. And Newsmax will have a retraction in 3... 2... 1...

uh, never? Never, you say?

[Dr. Shepper]

2. These assholes lie about

EVERYTHING

[Mblaze]

3. Throw another lie on the pile.

[calimary]

14. Welcome to DU, Mblaze!

Seems like the new "never-ending story", doesn't it.

[Mr. Evil]

4. If lies were money,

any one of these assholes could own Twitter.

[NJCher]

5. It's a lie but

let's just suppose for a minute it was true.

Wouldn't you think a better story would be to take this experience and say, "Wow, now I know how people of color felt when they could never find a doll for their kid."

Then discuss and develop points about why that's important.

But no, of course not. Their whole thing in life is to inspire outrage.

I am so, so sick of them and their rage cycle.

6. News max show "wake up America"

So his audience is Woke after they watch his news max show?

[not fooled]

8. Logical consistency not their strong point

[not fooled]

7. No no no

after hard-hitting investigative reporter finnerty's piece aired, the store rushed to put out a bunch of white dolls to fend off the inevitable attack journalism from the woke left!!!1!!*




*yes, the store had a bunch of white girl dolls in the back that they weren't trying to sell before then.

9. I've looked all over America and didn't see any white people anymore

They've all been replaced, in real life and on TV, movies, commercials. No more whites anywhere. Just like in laundry: One drop of color is all it takes to stain all your whites.

10. A proper white nationalist

shouldn't have to look among the inferior races to find someone just like him (or it, whatever its pronouns are).

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. Hmmm.

In about 1953, when I was five years old, one of my Christmas presents was a Black doll. My mother had somehow found it, and thought it would be a good gift. I was fascinated. We lived in Utica, NY, a city then with a relatively small Black population. I played with that doll as I did with my other dolls at that age.

Thank you, Mom.

12. The article says American Girl has not yet released a response

Apparently "American Girl now understands why Rob Finnerty's eyes are brown" is not a proper response for a company selling toys to children.

16. After that Tik Tok...

...I'm not sure they should, but they probably will because it's an ugly slander. And speaking of "slander" the threat of legal action should be enough for Newshacks to correct the record.

[pansypoo53219]

13. i hated dolls as a kid. but i had a black friend on my block. i thought the joke was american dolls

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

15. If only proving them wrong made any difference in what RWers believed.

We are living in a society that is fine with elected officials plotting a coup.
