The Last Word

With his usual amount of pretentiousness and faux solemnity, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell kicked off Wednesday’s edition of The Last Word by attempting to wax poetic about how Frederick Douglass would have supported Kamala Harris and how “some white men” do not share his belief that a woman can be president of the United States.

As he filled in on Alex Wagner Tonight on Thursday, MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin allowed his anti-Israel guest to rant so that he took a full minute from his colleague Lawrence O'Donnell's show -- a fact that O'Donnell made sure to point out as he joined.

Jonathan Capehart, the fill-in host for Thursday evening’s The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC, reacted to the morning’s news of the Supreme Court’s affirmative action case by launching personal attacks on the justices who had voted against it.

On Monday night, MSNBC’s The Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell took a break from hyperventilating over former President Donald Trump and his scheduled arraignment on Tuesday to bring on Rachel Maddow and discuss her new podcast on the 1930s French fascist movement.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell suggested on Tuesday’s edition of The Last Word that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should be impeached for “selling too much of himself” to billionaire friend Harlan Crow.

Thursday night’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell featured an odd hit piece on Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.

On Wednesday night's edition of MSNBC's The Last Word, vile leftist Lawrence O’Donnell lashed out at Republicans and accused them of not having any sadness over children dying in mass shootings.
