Former NFL reporter turned MAGA activist caught in cringeworthy lie

Former NFL reporter turned MAGA activist caught in cringeworthy lie

Either the same people keep staffing flights that former NBC sideline reporter Michele Tafoya takes or she likes to keep posting the same image repeatedly.

Tafoya worked on the sidelines at the company from 2011 to 2022 before leaving to pursue a career in conservative politics and starting her own right-wing podcast.

On Tuesday afternoon, Tafoya posted a picture of a handwritten note that she says was handed to her by a flight attendant, saying, ‘Thank you to the flight attendant who handed this to me in flight.’

The note read at the end, ‘On a personal note, I want to thank you for the work you do. I always enjoyed your work with the NFL, but listening to your podcast is wonderful too. Your voice of reason is [sic] brings me a little hope in what seems a dark world. Again, thank you!’ 

It’s the kind of note that would provide a boost to anyone who deals with trolls or backlash all the time and is a sweet gesture from the flight attendant.

But there’s a catch: Tafoya posted this exact same picture of this exact same note two years ago.

Internet sleuths did a little digging and found that Tafoya tweeted out a slightly different image of the exact same note on May 18, 2023.

The image had a different caption, which promoted her appearance on Fox News’ show ‘Gutfeld’ as well as her own podcast.

‘While on a flight to NYC to appear on @Gutfeldfox I was handed this note by a flight attendant. I won’t reveal the person’s name, but this made my day to say the very least!!!!!,’ the caption read.

She then concluded, ‘Maybe this will inspire you to SUBSCRIBE’ before adding a link to her show.

Once this post was discovered, the internet went off on Tafoya and called her out for being caught in a lie. 

‘Michelle, how many times is this exact same flight attendant gonna hand you this exact same note?’ one person asked.

Another said, ‘You should at least delete the old one before you tell the same totally real story again. At least you used a slightly different pH๏τo.’

‘Dang. Same exact note two years apart. What are the odds,’ joked another.

Another reply read, ‘No person who ever appears on @FoxNews is truthful. You posted the same note two years ago. Can you exist for a minute without lying or puffing yourself up. How embarrᴀssing to be you right now. Delete your account.’

Tafoya has not directly addressed the note’s double-posting on social media.
