In an obviously theatrical play for sympathy, MSNBC’s Jonathan Capeheart broke down in tears while discussing the 3rd anniversary of the January 6 riot. When a clip of the melodramatic segment was posted to social media, users pounced on the woke news anchor and mocked him for his overly emotional response and for his blatant hypocrisy.
For context, since the January 6 debacle, Democrats have treated the date as if it were a national day of mourning. Despite the broad media support for the dangerous George Floyd riots, far-left pundits in the mainstream media have reduced themselves to hysterics while discussing the events of the Capitol riot.
Such was shown when far-left MSNBC anchor Jonathan Capeheart melted down live on air on January 6, 2024. Breaking into tears, Capeheart said, “I’m going to try to get through this… Thank you for what you did three years ago today… Please tell me your thoughts on this third anniversary…”
When the clip was posted to social media by Conservative influencer Benny Johnson, he said, “Oh my God. An MSNBC anchor is straight up CRYING on air over the third anniversary of January 6. This is your ‘media’, America. How pathetic.”
In the comments under his post, Republicans ponced on the mainstream media hack for his overly dramatic reaction. One such comment said, “This is either acting, mental illness or both. What’s happening at the border right now is infinitely worse than J6. The media doesn’t even report on the border invasion let alone cry about it. Give me a break.”
Building on that point, other conservatives noticed the role the MSM has played in promoting the Democrats’ narrative about J6. One commenter wrote, “This underlies neatly how the media-social-industrial complex sold J6 to the American public: by manipulating the faith Americans put in their institutions. They sold a nonsense study by constructing an argument on the basis of emotion, which enabled people to accept otherwise absurd conclusions that are disproven under logic.”

Contrasting Capeheart’s embarassing meltdown with the professionalism shown by other journalists, one commenter wrote, “Walter Cronkite kept it together when he personally announced the assassination of a beloved President Kennedy and here this douche bag soy-boy is crying like he was possessed by the spirit of adam kinzinger over a staged so called insurrection! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, journalism is dead in America and journalist (sic) killed it!”
Remembering the network’s previous TDS meltdowns, one reply read, “That’s some funny stuff! Almost as funny as Racheal Maddow crying on national TV when Hillary lost.” Responding to Johnson, one commentator declared, “‘An MSNBC anchor is really emotional on air over the third anniversary of January 6 
This is what our “media” has come to, America. Quite pathetic.” #MSNBC #January6th.”
Rounding out the comments, some users blasted MSNBC for the biased coverage. A user said, “What a true pathetic excuse for a human being. No integrity knowing full well he is putting on a show for his audience. Sick.” Building on that point, one comment read, “
I second that. Can you imagine other countries looking at this and laughing at us. Then you want to know why we’re not respected around the world
