Lawrence O’Donnell Explains How Epstein Vote Caused Trump’s ‘Surrender And Humiliation’
HuffPost
The “Last Word” host also reiterated his theory about the president’s recent flip-flopping.
MS NOW host Lawrence O’Donnell is calling out President Donald Trump for attempting to save face by announcing having “signed the bill” to release government files on late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein after months of openly dismissing public demand.
“Tonight, Donald Trump put his surrender and humiliation in writing in capital letters in a tweet, saying, ‘I have just signed the bill to release the Epstein files,’” O’Donnell said Wednesday on “The Last Word,” citing Trump’s Truth Social post from earlier that evening.
The host continued, “While he was at it, Donald Trump once again treated his true believers as if he believes they are the stupidest people in the world. No one insults the intelligence of Trump voters more than Donald Trump.”
The current Trump administration had initially positioned itself as transparent on Epstein and his rumored clients, with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowing in February to release related files only for Trump to call the entire case a Democrat “hoax” come July.
Trump pivoted once again last week amid mounting support for a unanimous consent vote in the Senate. He ultimately went on to sign the related transparency bill into law, but O’Donnell reminded viewers that the MAGA leader has long openly opposed as much.
