David Muir Is Getting Roasted Online For Using Clothes Pins On His Fire Jacket While Reporting On The LA Fires

Source - ABC News star David Muir has been viciously mocked for using clothes pegs to cinch in his jacket during an LA fire report and emphasize his physique. 

Muir, 53, was in the Pacific Palisades, pointing out the rubble behind him during a stand-up hit, when he turned around - revealing the fashion faux pas.

'As you can see here behind me,' he said, while the clamps could be seen on the back of his jacket.

The clamps seemed to tighten Muir's ill-fitting ABC News-branded jacket in a way that shows off his chiseled torso.

Muir's sartorial awareness was deemed was jarring in front of destroyed buildings, as thousands of people were left with nothing but ash across the City of Angels.

The Video: 

Oh the humanity! How DARE he stick a clothes pin on his back so he doesn't look a dumbass on national TV. In the amount of time it took him to do that he could've been bailing buckets of water! What a pig!! I love how this is what people are mad at. Here's what some of the idiots online had to say...

'Nice jacket bro. Glad you look nice and svelte with those clothes line pegs, while our city burns to the ground,' television producer Jack Osbourne wrote.

Others also chimed in, calling Muir 'pathetic' and 'narcissistic.'

'He's a fraud from head to toe,' journalist Paul V Rea added, calling the host of World News Tonight with David Muir 'basically a hair model reading a script.'

Another commented, '@DavidMuir, just when your reputation hasn't gotten bad enough.'

Muir was also mocked on his Instagram account, with one poster writing: 'You're so vain, you probably think this fire's about you, don't you,' a reference to the classic Carly Simon song. 

Another said: 'Are you going to clip your flame retardant jacket today too?'

And a third wrote: 'if you wanted a tailored look then go to a fashion show! So embarrassing.'  

Even our very own Old Row got in on the fun…

Which brings me to my point…THIS IS STANDARD PRACTICE IN TELEVISION. David Muir didn't put on the coat and go "absolutely not!" His wardrobe team put it on him and clipped the back so he could focus on…you ready for this? Reporting on the fire. Crazy, right? Now imagine if everyone online were also focused on how to help victims of the fire rather than how many clothes pins the news anchor has on his back. That won't happen, obviously, but it's nice to pretend.  

Over 1000 homes and multiple lives have been lost since the Palisades fire began. If you want support the LAFD as they fight to get things under control you can do so HERE. Eye on the ball, people. Eye on the ball.
