MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Torches CNN For Ignoring Trump ‘Insanity’ To Obsess Over Tapper’s Biden Book
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell singled out rival network CNN for criticism, claiming they ignore President Donald Trump’s “insanity” to obsess over Jake Tapper’s book about former President Joe Biden.
Trump caused a stir with a social media post promoting the baseless conspiracy theory that “There is no #JoeBiden – executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. #Democrats dont know the difference.”
On Monday night’s edition of MSNBC’s The Last Word, O’Donnell went off on Trump over the post, and trashed CNN — which barely covered the message — for obsessing over “the mental acuity of Joe Biden last year”:
Well, the crisis facing this country and the world tonight is the complete collapse of mental acuity in the president of the United States, the current president.
This weekend, the president of the United States endorsed a social media post that says there is no Joe Biden, executed in 2020, Biden clones, doubles and robotic engineered, soulless, mindless entities are what you see.
Needless to say, Donald Trump is the only president in history who can publicly embrace and accept and believe such insanity without immediately provoking a rush of questions by the White House press corps and news organizations around the world about the sanity of the American president, which means that the insanity of the current American president is now officially taken for granted in the news media.
No huge banners on the cable news network that recently devoted itself to the issue of presidential mental acuity. That network did not dare devote itself to the mental acuity of Donald Trump. That network decided that the mental acuity of Joe Biden last year is a more important story now.
No one at that network suggested that Joe Biden was ever incapable of doing the job of president. Their critique of Joe Biden is that he was incapable of delivering a sharp and polished television debate performance which would have been true of every single president prior to John Fitzgerald Kennedy. What was lost in the relentless coverage of the Biden-Trump presidential debate was that after Joe Biden paused so long that he seemed frozen that for the rest of that debate, no one appeared to pay attention to the rest of that debate and the rest of that debate, Joe Biden actually made perfect sense and Donald Trump did not.
Donald Trump did not tell one true thing during that debate, but that doesn’t seem to matter to the focus on Joe Biden in that debate, and I can understand that. Joe Biden revealed in that debate that he was four years older than the last time he ran for president, and he was slower, much slower, and he was way more than four times smarter and more capable than Donald Trump ever was. That was also apparent in that debate.
And we all know as do the pushers of every anti-Biden campaign theory out there that it would be impossible for Joe Biden on his worst day to tweet that Donald Trump was executed in 2020 and that Trump clones, doubles and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see when you look at Donald Trump today.
