LISA Desjardins is known as an American political journalist who currently works as a correspondent at PBS NewsHour.
On September 30, 2021, Desjardins worried fans after she unveiled an eyepatch during her segment on PBS.
Who is Lisa Desjardins?
Born January 29, 1972, Desjardins, 49, is a 1997 graduate of the Medill School of Journalism located in Evanston, Illinois.
Prior to her career with PBS, she worked for the Associated Press and CNN Radio.
In 2018, she also reported on five U.S. presidential elections.
Since 2007, Desjardins has been married to Jason Desjardins and the couple have one child together, and according to her Twitter bio, a cat named Rocky.
What happened to Lisa Desjardins' eye?
Prior to the show, Desjardins tweeted and warned her fans that they would be seeing her in an eyepatch, but this did not mean many of them did not get concerned for the news anchor's health.
"Tonight on @NewsHour – we are doing a deep dive on Sen. @JoeManchin and @SenatorSinema – went to Manchin's hometown and around Arizona. Also, heads up, I will be wearing an eyepatch. Will explain later," Desjardins said on Twitter.
As promised, Desjardins and her colleague, Judy Woodruff, addressed the situation just before their segment started.
Woodruff asked, “So, first of all, Lisa, you’re wearing an eye patch. You hurt your eye. Are you all right?”
Desjardins replied, “You noticed, of course. Yes, I’m fine”, and then jokingly added, “No one in Congress is responsible for this.”
She later added that she suffered an eye injury after not paying attention and accidentally “pulled a car door” into her face.
"It’s just a reminder maybe we all need to slow down,” Desjardins continued.
While she seems to be doing okay, it is unknown how long she will be rocking an eyepatch.
What have people said about Lisa's eyepatch?
Following the newscast, many people took to Twitter to talk about the news anchor's new look, many showing support.
"She told me that she's leaving the News Hour to become a pirate, Good luck, Lisa!" one fans joked.
Another added: "Tonight's PBS newshour broadcast inspired us. For Halloween this year my wife is going as Lisa Desjardins with her patriotic journalistic super hero fashion eye patch and I am going as her cat. Wishing @LisaDNews a full and speedy recovery!"
One follower also pointed out that an eyepatch can also be the new fashion trend as even Gucci has a version of their own.
"All the fall runway's are featuring eye patch. Leave it to you to set the fashion trends. AZ is my home, I look forward to your piece," other fan said.
