MSNBC host Hallie Jackson apologized Wednesday after the network aired footage of the wrong black congressman when covering Democratic Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings’ death.
“We do want to apologize for a mistake that we made this show yesterday. We were reporting on the death of Congressman Alcee Hastings. We mistakenly showed video of Congressman Bennie Thompson, which should never have happened. We are sorry it did,” Jackson said on MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports.”
