Lawrence: The humanity gap between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was on display today - The Last Word - MSNBC



Donald Trump and JD Vance are both disconnected from other people, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains. But after Vice President Harris and Governor Tim Walz spoke to high school students in Georgia, the “giant humanity difference" between the Democratic ticket and the Republican ticket is even more apparent. - Aired on 08/28/2024.

3. Not to mention, TFG/Vance use attacks and lies against anyone who disagrees with them rather than offer any policy

That will help ordinary Americans rather than their wealthy donors.

There's not a better broadcast anchor/opinion/editorial tv show out there than his. Integrity is strong with this one. Lately his consistent calling out of the nedia, including his own network, is so important. I have seen criticism of him for this, that he is making the MSM less relevant. On the contrary, he is making it more relevant by pointing out the corrupt cracks and shining a light to a path that can bring respectability and like the old phrase "Truth in Journalism " back. Such a humble treasure in the broadcast forum.

Sorry, I just gotta give him his dues once a month

I choose the real world with Harris + Walz over the bizarro world of weird and creepy Old Sleepy Don and Shady Vance.

6. I could not agree more! TFG/Vance have plans to work against the American people! Who would vote for that??

Harris/Walz have a history of working FOR the American people - exactly what we need and expect from an American presidential team!

7. Those kids at the end, to whom they speak, are not voters. I was really moved by the VP and the Governor's remarks...

...and that they took the time to make them.

I really had no sense of VP Harris before Joe stepped back in service to his country. I do now. She's the real thing, and her VP candidate selection reflects that.

That was great commentary too, before the clip.

8. Agreed, and the kids will be our next generation of voters, it's a good idea to educate them now

And same here, we'd hear on the news that VP Harris was traveling and speaking on behalf of reproductive rights, but that was about it. Turns out, with her experience as a prosecutor and an AG, she's turned out to be an incredibly valuable resource, especially considering the dangerous opposition we're facing now.

And Lawrence is the best, he's fighting for our democracy as well.
