Lawrence O'Donnell: 'Stupidest' candidate Trump did not answer reporters' questions - The Last Word - MSNBC

45. The last time I saw liars this bold and the press this timid was during the Vietnam War

MacNamara lied to the generals, the generals lied to LBJ and then Nixon, LBJ and Nixon lied to the press, and the press took notes and lied to us. Nobody questioned the old male liars running things, certainly not the press.

Back then, our fact checkers were the guys who came back from that war, at least the ones whole enough to talk about it.

There is a big slab of black marble in DC that tells what this degree of lying to such an obviously supine press cost us all those years ago.

If the TV execs want to fill air time with that asshole, they need to flash a big, bright red "LIE!" across his ugly face with every single lie he tells. They'd get their ratings, people would tune in just to count 'em up.

We can't go back to 2016, it didn't work out well for us then and would be even worse with Round 2.
