MS NOW host Lawrence O’Donnell on Thursday excoriated President Donald Trump for appointing “the most incompetent, ignorant and amoral” officials in White House history and managing “to kill more people during peacetime” than every one of his predecessors.
The “Last Word” host began with the administration announcing an end to its immigration crackdown in Minnesota, calling it a “humiliating retreat” and slamming Trump over his dearth of “basic human decency” and “comprehension of the Constitution.”
O’Donnell then launched into a scorching monologue on Trump’s most polarizing Cabinet members and advisers, including former head of the Department of Government Efficiency Elon Musk and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“Today’s winner of the daily competition for most perverse thing said by a Trump Cabinet member, said — and these are the exact words — quote, ‘I’m not scared of a germ. You know, I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats,’” said O’Donnell with several pointed looks into the camera.
He then noted that it’s unfortunately “easier than it should be” to guess which Trump official said this, but nonetheless went on to play a clip from comedian Theo Von’s latest podcast episode — during which Kennedy voluntarily made the admission.
