NBC News correspondents at the Republican National Convention (RNC) have already interrupted two prayers, with the most recent incident leading to delegates telling the outlet’s reporter to “shut up,” according to Daily Caller White House News Correspondent Reagan Reese.
As the RNC kicked off Monday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, NBC’s Vaughn Hillyard was seen apologizing Tuesday to host Jen Psaki as she attempted to cut to him as he could be seen in the RNC audience.
“What have you been hearing from people there?” Psaki asked.
“Jen I hate to do this to you, but they just started a prayer and I don’t want to interrupt it in this crowd,” Hillyard responded as the audience members near him could be seen with their head bowed already.
Psaki quickly picked up the time as Hillyard tossed it back to her, as she agreed that they wouldn’t want to “talk over a prayer.”
On Thursday evening another NBC correspondent, Garrett Haake, could be seen in the RNC crowd again attempting to discuss the feelings among GOP supporters. However, as Haake began to during a moment for prayer, several delegates reportedly told him to “shut up” before adding that it “wasn’t appropriate to interrupt,” Reese tweeted out.
Another audience member, internet personality Jason Howerton, additionally tweeted out the incident, stating someone had told Haake to “shush.”
In a clip of the on air moment, NBC hosts could be heard mentioning the crowd might be in the middle of a prayer, before asking Haake about spotting Ohio Sen. and GOP Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance.
As Haake began to explain that Vance and Trump’s family did not come together to the RNC, he could be heard beginning to whisper and note he was being told to be quiet.
“I’m being asked to be very quiet here guys, but you can see Vance is up on the stage now with the former President behind us, having come in during the prayer,” Haake said.
NBC News didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
