NBC News correspondents at the Republican National Convention (RNC) have already interrupted two prayers, with the most recent incident leading to delegates telling the outletâs reporter to âshut up,â according to Daily Caller White House News Correspondent Reagan Reese.
As the RNC kicked off Monday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, NBCâs 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.
âWhat have you been hearing from people there?â Psaki asked.
âJen I hate to do this to you, but they just started a prayer and I donât want to interrupt it in this crowd,â 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 wouldnât want to âtalk over a prayer.â
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 âshut upâ before adding that it âwasnât appropriate to interrupt,â Reese tweeted out.
Another audience member, internet personality Jason Howerton, additionally tweeted out the incident, stating someone had told Haake to âshush.â
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 Trumpâs family did not come together to the RNC, he could be heard beginning to whisper and note he was being told to be quiet.
âIâm 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,â Haake said.
NBC News didnât immediately respond to a request for comment.
