MSNBC Host Embarrasses Himself, Bizarrely Threatens Legal Action Over Guest Quoting Him

A hysterical MSNBC host threatened to sue Donald Trump campaign Senior Adviser Corey Lewandowski for the “crime” of accurately quoting him.

MSNBC’s Ari Melber angrily accused Lewandowski of lying about a prior comment he made. 

As a discussion between the two already was getting heated, Lewandowski said; “Ari, if we’re going down this road, are you going to state that Donald Trump had a bandage on his ear just for a spectacle? Are you going to state that that was false? The guy got shot in the head, and you said the only reason he had a bandage on his ear—I could read you the quote if you want—that you said it was just for a spectacle. So if you want to apologize, Ari—”

That didn’t sit well with Melber, who in response, deployed a debate technique known as “lying.”

As The Blaze reported:

"Fox News, which has been caught in defamation, ran a false piece, falsely stating that I said something else that I didn't say. So I stand on that," Melber yelled. 

"So you didn't say, 'This bandage was a spectacle from a candidate obsessed with spectacles'?" Lewandowski replied.

"I did not say it!" Melber responded. "What you have is a false quote, and I'm putting you on notice, if you continue to repeat falsely that I said that, you will be potentially in a defamation situation because I didn't say that. But I understand that you're working off the internet, there's a lot of false information." 

Lewandowski later posted a video of Melber’s comments in question, where Melber did in fact say that Trump's bandae was "An image for political mobilization, a spectacle for this candidate, who we know is, by his own admission, obsessed with assorted spectacles.”
