Shakespearean tragedy: MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell is left red-faced after wrongly fact-checking Ted Cruz
Daily Mail ^ | 2-11-2021 | HOLDEN WALTER-WARNER

Posted on 02/11/2021 8:35:04 AM PST by HogsBreath

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell was ridiculed online on Wednesday after she tried calling Sen. Ted Cruz out on a literary reference, only to get it wrong herself.

While speaking about the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump on America's Newsroom, Cruz referenced Shakespeare, saying 'It's reminiscent of Shakespeare [in] that it is full of sound and fury, and yet signifying nothing.'

The line is from Macbeth, one of the most famous plays William Shakespeare ever wrote.

Imagine being so arrogant you don't take 10 seconds to check a quote before playing 'gotcha' with a US Senator.

Maybe Andrea can have Sean Hannity on her show to explain where he got the title of his book, “Deliver Us From Evil.”

Andrea was being petty. She thinks her effort passes for investigative journalism.

Andrea Mitchell is not red-faced. These liberal pukes are not capable of being red-faced. They make millions every year, they are dumb as mud and she doesn’t even have a pretty face.

Progressives mostly need a good, hard, pants-down, until they pee spanking.

Heck, they’d probably like it, as they’re into humiliation.

And... She was backed up by the Washington Post!

They think they are the smartest person in the room...

And they have a very fragile grasp of reality...

These Liberals are posturing clowns who are NEVER censured and so they honestly think the whole world is filled with stupid, lazy clowns just like THEM.

It’s always fun to see them reminded how little they know and how inadequate they are!

Shheeeesh.

Imagine having an English Lit degree and never having read “Hamlet”. Andrea is to literature as AOC is to economics.

Some of the mocking tweets are rich.

One user wrote: ‘Out, damned spot! Out, I say! No, that’s not Shakespeare. It’s a Tide Spot Remover commercial. -Andrea Mitchell, probably.’

You’re right.

If a Democrat Senator had said it was a quote of John Belushi, she would have never said a thing.

Never mind the English Lit degree, she’s in my age cohort which had MacBeth taught in high school.

What I cannot imagine is being so ignorant and pretending to be educated or even to possess what used to be common knowledge. No educated person should need to check this at all.
