‘What An F-ing Disaster’: NBC Hot Mic Moment Appears To Catch Panelist Trashing Iowa Caucuses

A hot mic moment appeared to capture an NBC News panelist trashing the Iowa caucuses Monday evening after technical issues forced a massive delay in results.

An issue with the phone application used to report results caused the delay, according to multiple reports. As of Tuesday morning, the results were still not in.

“Oh my god, what an f-ing disaster,” someone appearing to be an NBC panelist could be heard in the background during the live segment Monday as the issue unfolded.

NBC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) disputed reports that the application was to blame, saying in a statement Monday there were “inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results.”

“In addition to the tech systems being used to tabulate results we are also using photos of results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report. This is simply a reporting issue,” the DNC said in a statement.

Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared to disagree with the DNC’s claim, writing in a letter that both the application and the backup system failed.

Schaudenfreude.

Mr. President, I’m not tired of winning.

The ‘disaster’ is the democrat party itself, not this ginned-up ‘snafu’ of a phone app.

The art of the app where the DNC leadership gets to pick the winner quit working and they didn’t have a backup plan for cheating the usual way.

I have an idea for Trump tonight if the ballots are still not counted:

“Before we get started, I’d like to say a word about bipartisanship. I always like to encourage bipartisanship and now I would like to offer some bipartisanship help.

If any of you have any Iowa ballots in the trunk of your car, bring them in now, we’ll count them together. I’ll help. Seriously. I would like to help.”

Any hope of Iowa continuing to be the first caucus/primary are fading.

"Man bites dog." I'd be shocked if any Democrat wasn't saying that.

Whoever made the remark should get a Pulitzer, for accurate, concise reporting.

This is great for President Trump. The Impeachment was going to hang around Trump’s neck tonight but now this horrifying event of the slander of Sanders will level the playing field in the minds of the viewers
