ABC News anchor David Muir is being mocked on social media as “pathetic” and “narcissistic” for clipping his flame-retardant jacket while broadcasting from the site of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.

The eponymous host of World News Tonight with David Muir was surveying the damage in LA for ABC News and doing a stand-up hit from the street in the Palisades when his fashion faux pas came to light.

“As you can see behind me here,” Muir says, pointing to the charred rubble behind his back.

As he looks around, a wooden clip can clearly be seen on the back of his jacket.

The clip – which looks like traditional clothespins – tightens the ill-fitting jacket with the ABC News logo and shows off Muir’s torso.

“Nice jacket, brother. I’m glad you’re looking nice and slim with these clothespins while our city burns to the ground,” Jack Obsourne wrote in a caption to the video in an X post.

Other users added to her post, calling Muir “pathetic,” “narcissistic,” and a whole host of other insults.

Using clothespins to hold clothes in place is a standard televised styling maneuver, performed in place of the more traditional and permanent tailoring.

Muir is no stranger to criticism.

Conservatives criticized the moderator last summer over his moderation of debates – critics say it smacked of political bias against then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

In that debate, the Mouse House moderator repeatedly interrupted Trump and did not conduct on-air fact checks of gaffe-prone Vice President Kamala Harris.
