POLL: What was the worst media quote of the week? (Vote below)

 

 

NOMINEES: 

 

Lawrence O’Donnell Attacks Barron Trump For Not Sailing Through the Strait of Hormuz

“Why doesn’t Barron Trump do what all those Harvard students did during World War II? Why doesn’t he leave college now and go join his father’s war? Why doesn’t Barron Trump donate his services as a crew member on an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz? He doesn’t even have to join the military for that….Donald Trump said, ‘These ships should go through the Strait of Hormuz and show some guts, there’s nothing to be afraid of.’ Well, let’s prove there’s nothing to be afraid of by putting Barron on the deck of one of those ships.”
— Host Lawrence O’Donnell on MS NOW’s The Last Word, March 9. 

 

Whoopi: Trump Bombed Iran to Distract from Epstein Files and Savannah Guthrie’s Missing Mother

“I was thinking about it yesterday, because I thought, well, okay, why haven’t we been talking about Savannah Guthrie and what’s going on there? Why haven’t we not been – why have we not been talking about the Epstein files? Because that’s still there. This is meant to get us so worked up that we are unable to see anything else.”
— Co-host Whoopi Goldberg on ABC’s The View, March 10. 

 

Mehdi Hasan Claims American Sailors Are Worse Than the Nazis

“It’s a moral abomination. And yes, it’s tactically stupid. They, you know, they bombed a submarine and just let the sailors drown to death. Even the Nazis didn’t do that during World War II, apparently. Even the Nazis collected people from the water. This is insane rhetoric. Insane behavior from people who don’t give a damn. Donald Trump has never given a damn about Iranian lives.”
— Former MSNBC host, current CEO of Zeteo Mehdi Hasan on MS NOW’s All In With Chris Hayes, March 6.
