A viral video on social media captured ABC’s anchor David Muir being criticized for using clamps on his jacket during LA wildfire coverage.
ABC News anchor David Muir is facing backlash on social media after being accused of being “narcissistic” and “pathetic” for adjusting his appearance while reporting on the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.
David Muir’s fashion faux pas during wildfire coverage
On the X platform, @JackOsbourne shared a video of ABC’s David Muir being roasted for his looks while reporting on the deadly LA fires.
The video has the caption: “Nice Jacket Bro. Glad you look nice and svelte with those clothes line pegs, while our city burns to the ground.”
While reporting live for *World News Tonight with David Muir*, Muir was broadcasting from the Palisades, surveying the damage caused by the fire. During his segment, he was caught cinching his jacket with clamps, which drew ridicule from viewers.
The footage showed Muir pointed to the destruction behind him, a wooden clamp used to tighten his flame-retardant jacket was clearly visible.
The clamp, resembling a clothes peg, cinched the loose jacket, accentuating Muir’s torso.
This caught the attention of social media users, who found it inappropriate given the severity of the disaster.
David Muir’s fashion sparked debate among viewers.
In the comments, many criticized his style, calling him “pathetic” and “narcissistic.”
Others slammed him for focusing on appearance adjustments amid such a tragedy.
One person said: It’s was probably a choice of the wardrobe department who couldn’t find his size. The same thing is done with clothing photos shoots to better fit the models. People usually believe the illusion.
A second wrote: Mr gentlemen quarterly – pretty boy
While a third commented: They all are narcissistic, seeing Jim Cantore in person was a joke too. He had his crew carry around a stool to step on to not show his short stature.
Someone else said: What a big nosed narcissist
Another added: Priorities matter. The focus should be on the devastating impact of the LA fires, not David Muir’s attire.
