MSNBC personalities share 2019 photo of crowded Miami Beach in failed coronavirus shaming attempt

MSNBC personalities shared a crowded Miami Beach photo to complain about vacationers flouting coronavirus distancing guidelines, but there was one problem: the photo was from 2019.

"Today's center of the #COVIDIOTS universe is Miami Beach, Florida," MSNBC analyst Fernand R. Amandi tweeted on Saturday, complete with a photo of a packed beach.

Internet sleuths quickly pointed out the photo was taken for a 2019 Sun Sentinel article about Miami Beach law enforcement cracking down on rowdy spring breakers, nearly a year before the pandemic shut down the United States.

MSNBC host Joy Reid, who is one of two hosts on the left-wing outlet's primetime lineup with a history of fabulism, shared the photo with her 2 million followers and wrote, "That literally looks like a microscopic image of a petrie dish," complete with sick-face emojis.

The tweet has been retweeted more than 2,500 times, with some users appearing to fall for it, but others blasted Amandi for spreading the misleading picture and called for it to be taken down.

Amandi acknowledged the mistake Monday morning, although true to Twitter form, the correction appeared to get far less attention than the original misinformation.

Funny how THIS is their take on what is happening in Miami spring break and not the influx of a certain group causing all the trouble that is WHY the curfew is in place not because of COVID.

they have to fake a story about this year’s Miami spring break to make it about “maskless” breakers and make it seem like that is the concern, because the real concern blacks rioting and being violent, can’t be talked about. Miami’s curfew is not because of people going maskless.
