That awkward moment when an MSNBC producer mocks Vox lie while MSNBC repeats lie [photos]

It was epic, but we’ll get to that. First, some background:

Snort. Why? Well, as Twitchy readers know, the idiots over at Vox spread the lie that Hong Kong protesters were putting their hands up … in solidarity with Ferguson. That really happened and it was rightly mocked. A WaPo reporter embarrassed himself by defending the moronic lie. MSNBC and Donna Brazile also repeated the outlandish claim.

The mockery continues:

@redsteeze @msnbc all across the nation fans at games were showing solidarity with Ferguson. It was almost wave-like. pic.twitter.com/LWUHop7Sei
