Social media users swarmed the ABC News anchor David Muir Due to his fitter appearance in a recent news report about wildfires in Southern California.
During Wednesday's “ABC World News Tonight” report from the scene of the devastating fires, anchor Muir could be seen wearing a yellow fire-resistant jacket with the ABC News logo. At some point while preparing his report, Muir turned to his left and revealed what appeared to be clothespins keeping the jacket tight around his body.
“Nice jacket bro. I'm glad you look nice and slim with those clothing line pegs while our city burns to the ground,” Jack Osbourne, son of rock star Ozzy Osbourne, wrote on X, trashing the anchor for allegedly worrying about his appearance during the concert. tragedy.

The younger Osbourne shared the clip on X Wednesday, where it quickly racked up more than 2.5 million views, and Moir was criticized by other prominent X users, who accused him of being arrogant and embarrassing himself.
Conservative commentator Paul Cibola criticized Muir, writing: “ABC's David Muir, who moderated the only debate between Trump and Harris, was caught using clothespins on his fire jacket to make himself look slimmer on camera. Just in case you thought of @DavidMuir “It wasn't like that.” “Not really low enough.”
Federalist editor-in-chief Molly Hemingway commented on the clip, saying: “It was ABC News publicist @DavidMuir who got the fact-checking wrong at the presidential debate. He's said to be called 'Zoolander' at his gym because of his arrogance.”
Country music star John Rich “@DavidMuir is a great beta,” Muir chimed in.
