A panelist during MSNBC's coverage of the Iowa caucuses on Monday was caught on a hot microphone exclaiming that the election had turned into an "effing disaster."

“Oh my god, what an effing disaster,” the voice of an apparently male panelist said during a live shot with a reporter in Des Moines, Iowa, on Monday night.

A video clip of the moment was shared on social media and gained thousands of views in a matter of hours.

MSNBC's panel during that hour featured anchors Brian Williams and Rachel Maddow, as well as Lawrence O'Donnell and other guest pundits.

Hours passed Monday night with Iowa Democrats providing no results following what they called "inconsistencies" in reporting from local precincts across the state.

Issues with a new smartphone app used to report results to the state Democratic Party led to flooded phone lines, which left some precinct managers on hold for hours. As of Tuesday morning, no results were in yet.
