RW media lying about Rachel -- says "held back tears" last night

Rachel Maddow Laughs at Reports Saying She Cried on Air Covering Mueller News: ‘LOL’

Rachel Maddow did her show live from Tennessee last night, going to the studio after “standing knee-deep in a trout stream.”

She covered the big breaking news of the Mueller report dropping, and some people who watched thought she was crying or at least holding back tears:

... "they'll say" (the right) anything to the point of making crap up.

Saw nothing like crying. If I missed something and she was crying, it was probably because she had to leave the trout stream. Next time I wish Rachel would do her show while in the trout stream.

As she told the audience, she was broadcasting from a studio in Tennessee. I kept getting distracted because of the shine coming off the projection screen behind her. The way they lit her, it was flat, too bright and kind of shiny. No tears. Just Rachel.

Plus it was a different make-up artist and her coloring was very different. Saw every minute of the show - no tears.

Ari, and Chris, Rachel had a different, more positive take than they did. She was nowhere near tears and actually rather excited about what comes next. She brought the whole MSNBC mood up.

She will have fun with the "near tears" meme the RW is pushing.

and the extra makeup had to do with hiding that and blending everything else to match.
