Lawrence: RFK Jr. is 'the Jeffrey Dahmer of the animal kingdom'

On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, defended the Trump Tariffs after Kristen Welker exposed the problems caused by Donald Trump's tariffs. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell says, “it took eight years to finally get the news media to focus on the lies Donald Trump, and now JD Vance, tell about tariffs.” Lawrence also analyzes what the momentum of Vice President Harris’ campaign could mean to Trump’s future as a criminal defendant.

So nice to have Lawrence back..Love him he is the voice of facts and reason in this crazy time!!!

Brilliant commentary! You are the only one who really sees what's going on underneath the surface.
Thank you for your insightful, in depth, nuanced reporting. You see and understand what the others don't have a clue about.

Lawrence, you set the bar for journalism high, higher than anyone else in American media. Where it should be. Thank you! I look forward to every video you make.

I studied tariffs in 1982 in a community college Economics 101 class. I actually couldn't believe Trump didn't understand them. Then I realized he didn't really understand any economic theory. Thank you for being on top of this.

Lawrence, you are a national treasure! Thank you for valuing your journalistic integrity!

Oh, Mr. O'Donnell, you are one of the few reporters I trust any more. CNN has completely disgraced itself and I haven't trusted it for awhile now, especially since the latest debacle where they interviewed a Trump supporter, declaring that he was an "undecided". I'm so glad you've stayed honest, along with Brian Taylor Cohen, the Politics Girl (Leigh McGowan), and our late night comics Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. I never thought I'd get my news from late night show hosts! My heart felt thank you, Mr. O'Donnell!

“A lie is not an answer”

I wish more reporters adopt this mentality when dealing with Trump Vance.

I'm a small dairy farmer and I'll be voting for Harris. Trump hurt us with his trade war and I'm small enough I don't get subsidized. Big ag/ corporate farms get the free money. I end up eating losses on a lot of it. Harris is better for American small family farms, better for the overall economy better for democracy, better for minorities and poor folks, I'm behind her all the way.

I wish debate moderators would ask simple questions like that. "Would you explain what a tariff is to the American people?" "How much is the national debt and how do you plan to address it?"

[alanlavallee]

A lie is not an answer. I agree completely

[lefebvresandra]

Mr. O'Donnell, you are a national treasure! Thank you for all you do to keep this most important election honest.

Welcome back Lawrence. You are the greatest when it comes to journalism. You were surely missed. ❤

[traceyrobinson]

Lawrence, you consistently speak the truth. I missed you these last few days. Happy you are back.

[myvortexD]

Thank you for NOT Normalizing Horrific Behaviors.💙💙💙💙💙 VOTE 💙💙💙💙💙

[jayr.]

Lawrence should be a moderator at the debate next month and grill Don the Con

[lynnavedisian]

We missed you Lawrence! Welcome back…

R.F.K. Jr. has brought shame on the Kennedy name. 😢

[sanstar]

NOBODY says it quite like Lawrence O’Donnell! What a gem!

[dancingpixie]
