MSNBC Stars Psaki And O’Donnell Laugh At Trump Restaurant Photo Op That Ended In ‘Hitler’ Chant

MSNBC hosts Jen Psaki and Lawrence O’Donnell shared a laugh over President Donald Trump’s restaurant photo op, which ended in chants of “Trump is the Hitler of our time!”

Trump staged a photo op at Joe’s Seafood in Washington DC to promote his police crackdown Tuesday night, but was booed on his way in and out of the restaurant, and accosted by protesters while inside. The restaurant is nestled within a block of about a dozen law enforcement jurisdictions.

During the show toss on Tuesday night’s edition of MSNBC’s The Last Word, O’Donnell and Psaki roasted Trump over the photo op and laughed out lod about the protesters who disrupted the meal:

LAWRENCE O’DONNELL, MSNBC HOST: Hey, Jen.

So, Donald Trump went out to a restaurant in Washington, D.C. tonight as if that’s a big deal for presidents. President Obama used to do it with some regularity and was completely normal part of the schedule when you were working there, wasn’t it?

JEN PSAKI, MSNBC HOST: Yeah. Also, he went to a fancy restaurant, not a crime, but went to one that was very close to the White House. So it wasn’t like he was venturing out into the city of D.C. to be clear, it was like you could throw a rock from the White House to where he went.

O’DONNELL: And still, he picked the restaurant where people started yelling at him that he is the Hitler of our time, literally what they were yelling at him inside the restaurant, people who were in the restaurant, apparently at tables in there.

So, you know, Donald Trump does have a different experience when he goes out to Washington restaurants.

PSAKI: Yeah. Well, I — he’d be hard — I mean, there’s a lot of restaurants where that might be what people say. So, I don’t know. It’s not exactly a city that’s embraced his presence here. So, that’s — that may be a challenge for him in his dining out in the city.

O’DONNELL: Well, we’re going to cover a little bit more of what he had to say going into that restaurant tonight.

PSAKI: All right. Look forward to it.

O’DONNELL: Thanks, Jen.

PSAKI: Bye, Lawrence.
