Keep digging! ThinkProgress journalist may or may not have accused Zina Bash of flashing white power sign

He’s since deleted the tweet, but he shouldn’t have. Fortunately, someone caught a screengrab of MSNBC’s Chris Hayes’ contribution to the hubbub over Zina Bash reportedly flashing a white power hand sign during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing — a movie still of Eddie Murphy making the same sign.

Pay attention to what ThinkProgress’s Aaron Rupar says in that first tweet: “… a hand gesture … racist dogwhistle … when she did it today.” It’s important later.

Chris Hayes responded.

At least Rupar has company while he walks back that non-accusation.
