Former Fox News host Greta van Susteren confronted a liberal MSNBC host who based Mike Lindell, the owner of My Pillow, after Lindell announced during a White House presser that his company would be producing 50,000 masks per day to help with the coronavirus pandemic.
When Lindell spoke at a Rose Garden press conference on Tuesday, mainstream media pundits used it as an opportunity to trash him and the fact that he was there.
Lindell was invited to speak at the White House about how his company will be using their resources and facilities to make masks for medical professionals. He also mentioned his faith, and God, which media figures mocked him for.

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi made a snarky and rude comment about Lindell offering his assistance:
Trump just called the “My Pillow” guy up to the podium in the Rose Garden. You cannot make this stuff up.

Van Susteren was quick to respond. She tweeted back, “Why do you mock ANYONE who would help in any way? What is wrong w/ you?”
Why do you mock ANYONE who would help in any way? What is wrong w/ you? People need help and we should encourage everyone to help in any way. https://t.co/rGltqBjs9d

Velshi responded that there are “lots of people doing things.”
Come on, Greta. Lots of people are doing things in this effort. How did the My Pillow guy make the cut with the CEOs of Honeywell and P&G?

Greta responded again:
What are YOU doing?Tell me what YOU are doing besides sitting on the sidelines being snarky?I love my job but I know we don’t do the heavy lifting;we get paid big salaries to TALK ABOUT stories and that is easy..thank you to everyone helping..from healthcare workers to businesses https://t.co/E6EDhUcSll

Then Velshi said for the first time that he is “grateful” for Lindell’s efforts–but then asked if he was only invited to speak because he is a Trump donor. “Because asking THAT question on behalf of the public IS our job,” he said, even though his first tweet was a snarky attempt to make fun of Lindell in a mean-spirited way.
Some of Greta’s former co-workers at Fox chimed in as well.
When you start producing 50 thousand masks a day you can go up to the podium too In the meantime sit on your fence and keep your thumb up your ass. https://t.co/RWO6chxPXQ

RVM News would like to make a point of clarification on why we do not refer to any shot related to COVID-19 as a "vaccine." According to the CDC, the definition of a vaccine necessitates that said vaccine have a lasting effect of at least one year in preventing the contraction of the virus or disease it's intended to fight. Because all of the COVID-19 shots thus far available have barely offered six months of protection, and even then not absolute, RVM News has made the decision hereafter to no longer refer to the Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson substances as vaccinations.
