MSNBC Analyst Malcolm Nance Quits Network to Go Fight Russians in Ukraine
An MSNBC commentator has left the network to join an international legion fighting on the side of Ukraine against Russia.
Malcolm Nance, the former naval intelligence officer who has served as an on-air analyst at the Comcast-owned cable network since 2007, appeared on Monday’s (April 18) episode of Joy Reid’s nightly show “The ReidOut” wearing military fatigues and combat gear.
Nance also appeared while carrying what appeared to be a Kalashnikov assault rifle. He told Reid that he has joined the International Legion of Territorial Defense in Ukraine.
“The more I saw of the war going on, the more I thought, I’m done talking. It’s time to take action here,” Nance said.
“About a month ago, I joined the International Legion here in Ukraine and I am here to help this country fight what is essentially a war of extermination.”
