Lawrence O'Donnell Rips Trump With Clips Of 1 Leader 'Who Can Speak And Think And Feel'
HuffPost
The "Last Word" host commemorated Presidents Day with uninterrupted interview portions from one particular predecessor of the MAGA leader.
MS NOW host Lawrence O’Donnell was in rather reflective form when he commemorated Presidents Day with few words on President Donald Trump — and spent the next seven minutes playing recent clips featuring former President Barack Obama.
“As a reminder of what’s it like to listen to a president who can speak and think and feel at the same time, here is President Obama’s full five-minute answer to Brian Tyler Cohen’s first excellent question,” O’Donnell said Monday of a recent podcast episode that featured the former president.
The “Last Word” host continued, “The answer includes words Donald Trump doesn’t understand, like ‘decency,’ ‘courtesy,’ ‘kindness.’ But the answer also embodies those words as Barack Obama’s response to Donald Trump’s racist poison.”
The interview with podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen was published Saturday, one week after Trump shared a racist video on social media depicting Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, and saw Cohen ask how we can “come back” from the “devolution” of America’s political discourse.
“Well, first of all, I think it’s important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling,” said Obama at the time. “It is true that it gets attention. It’s true that it’s a distraction. But as I’m traveling around the country … you meet people.”
The podcaster's spot-on impersonation left the head of Canada's Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre, laughing.
