Brian Williams has found himself in hot water again.
MSNBC's breaking news anchor, who was suspended in 2015 for fabricating stories, described images of the U.S. airstrike on Syria as beautiful.
I am tempted to quote the great Leonard Cohen, I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons.' said Williams during his segment that interrupted Rachel Maddow's show. And they are beautiful pictures of fearsome armaments, making what is for them a brief flight over this airfield.

His soliloquy quickly generated responses on Twitter.
This is truly a surreal segment. Brian Williams: I am guided by the beauty of our weapons. https://t.co/85TNZxkNa8

Guys I just realized that I did not hallucinate Brian Williams quoting Leonard Cohen to talk about the beauty of air strikes.
- Andi Zeisler (@andizeisler) April 7, 2017
I kind of feel like perhaps this is not what Leonard Cohen meant https://t.co/dP5vC0fSDG

If Brian Williams @MSNBC had ever spent real time in war zones, instead of making up fake memories, hed know better. #Syria #Damascus https://t.co/EOHJHLo3p0

Were mad at Brian Williams, but looking at that video and going, we never hear about war from the missiles POV is just good storytelling

Williams' MSNBC appearance also fired people up for interrupting Rachel Maddow's show.
so brian crashes into rachels show - and when 11 hits - he takes over and she disappears - no goodbye - WTF MSNBC? - so sexist - so rude
- ROSIE (@Rosie) April 7, 2017
Rachel Maddow would never refer to a Tomahawk launch as beautiful. What in the ever living hell is Brian Williams doing on her air time?
