Here's the setup on this - Paul Ryan finished speaking at a campaign event to introduce Mitt Romney. During the transition the crowd started chanting, and MSNBC (during Morning Joe show) reports that the crowd is chanting "Ryan, Ryan, Ryan..." When Romney gets to the microphone he tells the crowd to instead chant "Romney-Ryan, Romney-Ryan..." which makes him sound like a real douche, and Joe Scarborough does a face palm. However people at the rally later reported, and listening to the C-SPAN video makes it clear, that the crowd was originally chanting "Romney, Romney, Romney..." and Romney wanted them to include Ryan, changing the whole character of the exchange.
