MSNBC reporter and Bucks County native Hallie Jackson was broadcasting from Washington Crossing Park in Upper Makefield Friday.
The live broadcast on NBC News’ cable channel was in advance of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s planned evening rally in Newtown.
Jackson, a graduate of Pennsbury High School, mentioned her hometown of Yardley, the high school’s world famous prom and Wawa while on-air.
The TV broadcaster was set up near the visitors center at the park along the picturesque Delaware River during her afternoon live shots.
