MSNBC Host Locks X Account After On-Air Meltdown

"Fox News, which has been caught in defamation, ran a false piece, falsely stating that I said something else that I didn't say. So I stand on that," Melber yelled.

"So you didn't say, 'This bandage was a spectacle from a candidate obsessed with spectacles'?" Lewandowski replied.

"I did not say it!" Melber responded. "What you have is a false quote, and I'm putting you on notice, if you continue to repeat falsely that I said that, you will be potentially in a defamation situation because I didn't say that. But I understand that you're working off the internet, there's a lot of false information."

That evening, Lewandowski posted a video of Melber's comments.

Maybe Melber doesn't realize that truth is an absolute defense in defamation cases. Or maybe he just doesn't have a clue what he's saying on air.
