Lawyers were quick to jump in after an MSNBC analyst – or now former analyst – appears to have been radicalized by his own propaganda.
On April 18, 2022, former Navy linguist Malcolm Nance was introduced by MSNBC, host Joy Reid as an analyst employed by the network. Nance dressed in military announced that he has joined the Ukrainian International Legion which is a major conflict of interest and a violation of the Geneva Convention. Nance was in Ukraine as a member of the press, however, has now become a combatant which is a big no-no. Below, he explains his reasons for joining the Legion with his MSNBC camera crew.

Nance was mocked because an image he posted showed that the magazine in his rifle was not seated properly and his ammo pouches were actually empty.
The Cosplayer that is @MalcolmNance will have a surprise when he tries to use that AK.
(Won’t be a problem though, since he’s probably in his backyard)

The next day the network was quick to disavow Nance as an analyst clarifying that “Nance is a former analyst and is not currently affiliated with the network.”
CORRECTION: On Monday, we inaccurately referred to Malcolm Nance as an MSNBC analyst. To clarify, Nance is a former analyst and is not currently affiliated with the network.

MSNBC’s “clarification” was interesting considering the liberal news network had just posted an interview Nance did for MSNBC hours before he announced that he was joining the legion. The interview itself was hilarious, Nance looked like a fool when he pretended he was taking fire while giving the interview.
This is the cringest video I’ve ever seen a member of the mainstream media do. But, I have to admit, it’s like looking at a car accident, you can’t help but watch.
Reporter: was that an airstrike?
Nance: yes–came from a ship
500 lb bomb
*smells air*
came from the southeast
fired from 173 degree azimuth
*tastes dirt*
by a guy named Greg
*squints*

It seems like Nance has lost his mind and been radicalized by his own propaganda.
Let it be known that it was a member of the left-wing media – not a conservative – that may have violated the Geneva Convention. I’d be curious to see what the reason on Nance’s Visa was for traveling overseas.
