Axelrod’s Feed Mysteriously Cuts off While Debunking bin Laden Conspiracy Theory

David Axelrod and Joe Scarborough were amidst a hearty debunking of Seymour Hersh’s revisionist account of the killing of Osama bin Laden Tuesday morning when Axelrod’s feed mysteriously cut off.

Hersh alleged that the United States colluded with Pakistan to kill bin Laden, who was actually being kept by the Pakistani military, and then invented the raid we all know as a “fantasy.” (In the official version, Pakistan was and remains quite angry the U.S. unilaterally raided a compound within its borders.)

Scarborough pointed out that this would require a pretty massive conspiracy spanning the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, the point with which Axelrod was agreeing when the feed cut suddenly enough that a “whoa” can be heard in the background.

“It is not only between three governments, it has now obviously infected in the media capital,” Scarborough said. Axelrod was never seen again until the next segment.
