MSNBC has been slammed for correcting a Republican National Convention speaker who said "Democratic-led cities like New York and Portland are overrun by crime."
Governor Kristi Noem's said in her Wednesday night speech: "-run cities across this country are being overrun by violent mobs.
"The violence is rampant. There’s looting, chaos, destruction, and murder."
Following Noem's comments, host Rachel Maddow told convention viewers on Wednesday: "As we've said over the course of this coverage we will interject when we feel like there's something that's important and deliberate and very wrong that should be corrected just so that we feel responsible about our broadcast."
The anchor then brought in Mayor Jenny Durkin to provide a "reality check" of Noem's comments.
Responding to the comments, Durkin said: "Her caricature of the great cities across is not only wrong it's purposefully wrong."
However an MSNBC source told that Noem's speech was played in full and that the anchor did not cut in or censor the Governor.
