In the midst of covering the unfolding active shooter situation on the YouTube campus in San Bruno, California on Tuesday, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace interrupted her commentary on Deadline: White House because she thought the sound of someone popping open a soda can somewhere near set was gunshots.

There is a brief video of the incident at the link. Someone opens a can of soda, and Wallace says “I think we just heard some gunshots." Unbelievable.

Elitists don’t drink evil, sugary, working-class soda pop so she’s never heard a can being popped. Understandable.

ROTFL. What an idiot. Normal people always mistake gunshots as someone setting off firecrackers and someone setting off firecrackers as gunshots. Opening a can of pop is almost always quickly identified as someone opening a can of pop because you have to be close enough to see them opening it in order to hear it.

I always remember Ronald Reagan’s comment during his speech at the 1984 Republican Convention when someone popped a very loud balloon.
“Missed me.”

My standard joke for on-camera shenanigans:

Anchor: The Mayor’s Festival of Flowers opens today, and we go now to our reporter Steve Surewood. How’s it looking Steve?

Reporter: Oh, it’s looking good and it’s smelling good. A lot of people came out for this and the crowds are huge. One thing to notice -- BOOOOOOOOM!

Anchor: Steve! Steve! What was that?? Are you OK??

Reporter: I’m – I’m OK. Don’t know what that was. But it was huge. I see smoke. I hear people screaming. This is all pretty chaotic right now.

Anchor: Can you tell us anything at all?

Reporter: Well, it wasn’t terrorism …

Can imagine the reaction if Wallace would have heard someone flick a lighter repeatedly? She would have assumed it was a machine gun.
