On Tuesday’s “Reid Report,” NBC News Senior White House Correspondent Chris Jansing accidentally said that President Obama is from Kenya.

Host Joy Reid began the segment commenting on the ongoing U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, D.C. by saying, “The White House is clearly, I would assume, hoping that this will be part of the president’s legacy, given his background.”

Jansing replied, “Yeah, the fact that he’s from Kenya, and the fact that when he was elected there were expectations on the African continent that he would do great things for them. This is a concerted effort by this administration to get American companies to invest.”

Jansing later addressed her mistake, noting that Obama’s father is from Kenya.

1. This will now be seen by "birthbaggers" to be "proof" of what they were telling us all along!

Never mind that they would never otherwise believe anything from NBC.

2. I like Jansing; boneheaded mistake perhaps. Script? nt

3. I don't think it slips out of anybodys mouth by mistake

IMO, she needs to step up and explain why she said it.

5. Of course, no one blinked an eye when people said JFK was Irish!

He did get some pushback for being Catholic, but he overcame that!

But..wait a minute, wait a minute...

Barack Obama is Irish, too!!!!!

If you haven't heard this, it's fun.

4. "Accidently"??? Right, yeah uh huh.

13. Everybody slips up when speaking in public.

Michelle Obama basically did the same thing when she misspoke and said that she and the president visited "his home country in Kenya."

It's not true and not what she meant to say and she surely didn't mean to imply something that was wrong. She just made a slip, as I imagine this reporter did.

12. How could a Senior White House Correspondent be this ignorant

and incompetent at her job?
I am sure there are many who are much more qualified.
