MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell slammed Donald Trump as a “pathological lie” after the president blamed the “left” for last week’s killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
O’Donnell said Trump “knows that’s a lie,” but is pushing it anyway so people will focus on that instead of the real issues threatening his presidency.
“Donald Trump is the only president of the United States who has ever blamed a murder on millions of voters who did not vote for him,” O’Donnell said.
But he said there’s a reason Trump is doing this.
“What Donald Trump wants is agreement from his supporters and outrage from the millions of people he is libelously accusing of inciting murder,” he said. “Because that means that we will not be covering the very bad news that continues to mount for Donald Trump.”
