On Tuesday evening, several MSNBC hosts again demonstrated what a source of misinformation the liberal news network is as it was incorrectly claimed that Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is pushing to cut the number of black majority congressional districts from four to two when there is, in fact, only one black majority district to begin with.
