Sunny Hostin: Iran War Cost $50 Billion, More Than Spent Since WWII
“You know, I just read that this war is estimated to have already cost us $50 billion. $50 billion, which is more money than this country has spent since World War II.”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, April 22.
Keith Olbermann: “Trump Is Entirely Full of S***” On Iran
“Trump is entirely full of shit. It is as if you took all the shit in the world, squeezed it into a bag, and made it President. He insists he has opened Hormuz, and Iran’s leaders fire on ships and insist it’s closed. He insists there are talks. Iran’s leaders say they know nothing about them. We are losing the war in Iran and as of today, a total idiot is still President and Commander-in-Chief.”
— Former ESPN and MSNBC host Keith Olbermann on his Countdown podcast, April 20.
Lawrence O’Donnell Praises “International Sound of Resistance” to “Hitler,” “Gangster” Trump
Host Lawrence O’Donnell: “The international sound of resistance to Donald Trump was heard in the British House of Commons, and the language used to describe Donald Trump was on a par with the language Winston Churchill used to describe Adolf Hitler during World War II.”
Winston Churchill (June 22, 1941): “Hitler is a monster of wickedness.”
O’Donnell: “A monster of wickedness. Words to describe the worst, most murderous dictator in European history and world history. And yesterday in the British parliament, the words ‘he is a dangerous and corrupt gangster’ [by MP Ed Davey] were used to describe the President of the United States, an office once occupied by the President who beat Adolf Hitler in World War II.”
