Lawrence: While Trump lies about hurricane relief, Harris picks up important endorsements

Disaster relief used to be a nonpartisan issue that no one ever lied about – until Donald Trump, says MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell who analyzes Donald Trump’s debunked lies about Republican Governor Brian Kemp and the Biden administration’s response to Hurricane Helene. Lawrence also discusses the case The New York Times and The New Yorker made in endorsing Kamala Harris for President.

No Fact Checking at the VP Debate is a Terrible Idea.

[Ms.Dominique]

I want to travel again as an American and be proud! I didn't vote for Trump and never would but having to answer for it abroad is embarrassing, which just makes it worse.
Come on people, let's move forward.

IF, CBS news doesn't fact check while the debate is on-going, I will never watch the station again. And I guarantee I am not the only one. I, with millions of Americans are sick to death of the lies.

Every time I hear people speak with truth, gratitude, sense, competence, and maturity, I burst into tears. At first, I didn’t know why. But now I do.

After years of enduring nonsense, gaslighting, lies, hatred, mean-spiritedness, narcissism, egoism, and corruption, hearing such sincerity feels like a balm on my battered heart. I feel like I can finally release some of the anxiety that I (and most sensible people) have been carrying since Trump declared his candidacy in 2015

HOW is that a debate if they don’t fact check? That’s BS!!!

[jerrydog]

Real time fact checking should be part of every debate!!!!

[audreycampbell]

Thank God for Lawrence O'Donnell, a fearless trurh teller

[alexmulkey]

Biden is one of the BEST PRESIDENTS we have EVER had. I just wish to GOD TRUMP would quit lying about the help that Biden is willing and able to do.

[pbishopsmith]

I live in arzona, work at a senior living resort w/ 250 residents, I have yet to find any, not one voting for Trump including family a friends here in AZ. Polls are not accurate here. Trump is a 100% nut case he really needs A medical health check up

Trump has no business interjecting and inserting himself in a matter that is between the Governor of North Carolina, the President and FEMA...

[steventheabcandsometimesd]

To those that are leaning towards tRump, I emphasize that a vote for Harris/Walz does not make you a Democrat. It makes you a real Patriot, unlike those alleged insurrectionists who aren’t.

[EdwardTregidgo]

It is sad that after a huge disaster that has happened in Florida and
neighbouring states . Trump decided to lie about president Biden and vp Harris not sending help . My heart goes out to everyone who has lost loved ones and all the people who have lost your homes . And the brave people who are there to help clean up and help all the people.
Sadly Trump did this pathetic stunt for a photo op. Nothing more, it shows what a pathetic little man he truly is.

Make America Trumpless Again (MATA)
Vote as if your life depended on it because it just might!

[mnoir]

I cannot stomach it anymore. It it far overdue time to put this menace away somewhere where he cannot be heard. Thanks to Garland and the rest of the wimps he still walks.

[TennesseeYaya]

WTH is wrong with the media? Glad to know The NY Times finally saw the light!

[nancymorrison]

Enough enough enough enough of the hate! 💙💙💙🙏🏻💙💙💙🙏🏻💙💙🌊

[gingerbreadman]

I know vice-president Kamala Harris, must be real worn out, from her campaigning for president. But yet there she is back in Washington DC, to meet with FEMA to help with hurricane relief efforts. Her statements at the Fema briefings, were very inspiring. To those affected by hurricane Helene, the rest of America is here for you, may God be with you.

[reneelyndamartinez]

I love President Biden's reaction to Drumph's LIES.

[urkiddingme]

Jeff Flake, it was beautifully said, and thank you for being both ethical and courageous enough to say it.

[democracyforall]

We love you Lawrence... keep telling us like it is...
