A Tuesday segment on MSNBC’s “Deadline White House” got awkward when new allegations surfaced against embattled Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) — and his daughter was guest-hosting the show.
Alicia Menendez was sitting in for regular host Nicolle Wallace, and just before the show went to a commercial break, she announced that a breaking news update was imminent. “We have to take a quick break. And we’ll be back with some breaking news right after this,” she said.
When they returned, however, MSNBC host Ari Melber was in the anchor’s chair to deliver the news.
