Expect MSNBC’s disdain for Russia to increase from here – because things got a bit personal.
As Russian Foreign Minister Segei Lavrov met with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson earlier today, Lavrov took a jab at MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell – the extreme left anti-Trump reporter rudely interrupted the greetings and began shouting questions.
There’s some crosstalk as Lavrov takes a seat asks Tillerson a question, while Mitchell begins obnoxiously shouting what sounds like, “Mr. Secretary, the Russians don’t believe the intelligence. How confident are you Mr. Secretary that the intelligence is correct?”
“Who has given you your manners?” Lavrov responded to Mitchell’s interjection with a grin.

ABC News Moscow correspondent Patrick Reevell tweeted out video of the exchange, which occurred when Lavrov and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson entered the room for a photo-op.
Mitchell, who focuses on foreign affairs in her reporting, tried to address Tillerson, presumably about the recent Syrian chemical attack.

This is hardly the first time her manners have gotten her attention, especially surrounding Rex Tillerson. Last month Mitchell was removed from a State Department press conference for being obnoxious with Secretary Tillerson.
On Monday, she criticized Tillerson for “shunning the press when making major diplomatic trips.” Tillerson didn’t bring his press corps along with this recent trip, and he didn’t during last month’s visit to Asia either (breaking tradition doing so).
Sorry Andrea – I just won’t think he’s that into you.
What do you think? Did this liberal reporter get her comeuppance? Share your thoughts in the comments below?
