During her 12 p.m. ET hour MSNBC show on Tuesday, host Andrea Mitchell interrupted her panel of guests to go to live coverage of House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi ranting about the resignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn at a press conference. In her comments, the left-wing lawmaker cited a fake Twitter account purporting to be Flynn.
Pelosi proclaimed: “I didn't know until I heard from our colleague that the tweet of General Flynn today was ‘scapegoat.’ ‘Scapegoat.’ Do you know what a scapegoat is?...where people want to absolve themselves of guilt, they get a goat and they heap all of the ills onto the goat and then they run the goat out of town. So the inference to be drawn from his statement is that other people had blame that should be shared in all of this.”
