MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow’s show would have gone off without a hitch if it wasn’t for those pesky “white men.”
Maddow apologized when her show mistakenly used a picture of Congressman Peter King while Maddow was speaking of Senator Angus King on Wednesday.
Hey @maddow, that's Rep. Peter King, not Sen. Angus King. pic.twitter.com/pqZa0gulQ9

Besides their “whiteness,” which Maddow was quick to point out in her apology, the two don’t seem to have a lot in common. Peter King is a Republican from New York while Angus King is an Independent from Maine.
No matter. Maddow jokingly brushed off the mix up, calling it the show’s “best visual screw up ever.”
“[Peter King] is not a senator, he’s not an Independent, he’s not from Maine, and he’s not a person who caucuses with the Democrats, and he’s just… white men! That’s the only way I can get there visually. That’s it.”
What does race have to do this? Oh yea, it’s MSNBC, so of course.

For the record, here’s a picture of Angus King.
@maddow You had Congressman Peter King from NY AS a Senator , Not Senator Angus King (I) from Maine. Wrong Picture. pic.twitter.com/kVpjiDAC5R

Dead ringer? Hardly.
@TwitchyTeam Oh yeah, for sure! I can’t tell the diff between Ryan Gosling and Michael Moore without a caption under their pictures
