Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Actor Tom Hanks is a very liberal guy, but apparently, he doesn’t take MSNOW very seriously and doesn’t think anyone else does either.

A reporter for MSNOW approached Hanks during the opening event for Obama’s presidential center and Hanks insulted MSNOW right to his face. You can read the details below and watch the video.

You can tell that the reporter was not expecting this kind of dig from someone like Hanks. Frankly, neither were we.

Transcript via Breitbart News:

HANKS: What can I do for the 800 people watching MS NOW?

SOBOROFF: Oh, come on. We’re live on MS NOW.

HANKS: Alright, add a zero if you need to.

SOBOROFF: I would say millions now that you’re on our air.

HANKS: Alright, alright.

SOBOROFF: How do you feel to be here today?

HANKS: Look, this is a — I feel like I’ve been to the best church on the planet Earth. Wonderful, wonderful words, good music, good acts. Could have used a little bit…I’m going to tell you, it was so hot that every now and again we had to do this, right? And every now again, just to register my applause, I literally tapped my fan on my hat because I couldn’t put it down.

SOBOROFF: I’ve seen you at conventions, I’ve seen you at other events—

HANKS: I’ve never been to a convention.

What an embarrassing moment for MSNOW.

When even liberal actors are making fun of the size of your audience, that’s gotta sting.
