WATCH: US reporter caught on camera doing awful grooming routine

Alan Loughnane

US Reporter

NOPE.

An MSNBC News reporter stationed in eastern Syria on Friday doing some cringe-worthy, last-minute grooming before he went live on camera, but the problem was, he was already live on camera.

Anchor Ali Velshi in MSNBC’s studio was reporting on the defeat of ISIS caliphate and ongoing hostilities in the area when he went to introduce reporter Matt Bradley, who was reporting live from the region.

“Matt Bradley is in eastern Syria in an area where the last remnants of the Islamic State and so-called caliphate were. What’s the situation for you?” Ali asked, seemingly unaware that the camera was showing Bradley styling his hair with his spit.

The camera then switched away from Bradley.

“We do not have Matt. We will come back to him …” Velshi said before switching to the next segment.
