Katy Tur continues to struggle with basic facts — this time, it’s geography

MSNBC anchor Katy Tur took another stumble Thursday as her longstanding struggle with basic facts suffered another public defeat.

“Ignore me. Ignore me,” she said while in the process of trying to explain the November midterm elections, after she realized the two are, in fact, separate states. “I was getting Montana and North Dakota confused because, I don’t know. I just was.”

“Never mind. Ignore me,” she added. For once, we agree.
