Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal drew criticism over her reaction during an MSNBC interview Tuesday, the New York Post reported.
During her appearance on “The Reidout” with host Joy Reid, Jayapal appeared to laugh when discussing news outlets’ reporting on President Joe Biden’s June 18, 2024 executive action, according to the outlet. Jayapal’s reaction, specifically in response to the Fox News banner reading, “Migrant arrested for raping 13-year-old New York City girl,” drew criticism.
The segment highlighted the perceived differences in reporting between MSNBC, CNN and Fox News. MSNBC and CNN were shown reporting on Biden’s announcement of legal protections for undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens, while Fox News appeared to run a chyron about the arrest of Ecuadorian migrant Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, 25, who is accused of a crime in Queens, New York. Inga-Landi allegedly confessed to recording his attack on a 13-year-old girl, the outlet reported.
“Ha! Yes,” Jayapal responded. “And so I think that’s a part of the problem,” Reid continued.
