While covering the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles on Wednesday, ABC News anchor David Muir—who is renowned for delivering the day’s most important headlines—became a part of the news cycle.
Muir, broadcasting from a burned and empty street, wore what looked like a weather-appropriate, form-fitting flame-retardant jacket. But astute viewers picked up on an unexpected detail: a clothespin subtly tightening the back of his jacket to give it a more fitted look.
Online users immediately reacted negatively to the revelation, calling the anchor’s actions “pathetic” and “narcissistic,” accusing him of putting his on-camera appearance ahead of the seriousness of the catastrophe.
