    Why is the press allowing Trump to lie and not confront him
  • @ravipeiris4388
    It's not the Harris's campaign that should be fact checking trump, it's lazy reporters/journalists.
  • @sarameitner6770
    Mr. Lawrence O`Donnell covered uncomfortable truths. One of the best critiques I have ever seen. Everyone should see what he had to say.
  • OMG I can't believe someone is finally bringing this up. If this had been done 8 years ago we wouldn't be where we are now. The rest of the media needs to start being honest with the public. Shame on them for letting this go on.
  • @joanmccurdy1116
    Trump said to a reporter, "I am ahead in the polls, AS YOU KNOW." The reporter should have hit back with. "No, I don't know because you are not ahead in the polls." That "AS YOU KNOW" is a way to make his lie reality and to make the reporter complicit in his reality.
  • @craigruvere8460
    The media needs to call him out on lying more instead of just letting him rant on and on. The media must do their job and push the facts instead of letting him ramble.
  • @DONJULIANOrtiz
    The whole asylum thing always goes under the radar. I’ve said it many times, he doesn’t know the difference nor do his followers
  • @stevehunter291
    I could barely watch his "press conference" from Mara Largo for 20 minutes. The man totally embarrassed himself with a string of lies, false accusations, hate , anger and venom. I don't want someone with that kind of mindset running and ruining the country.
  • @davidabbett7011
    How is this a surprise to anyone??? He has been a documented and proven liar and narcissist for his entire adult life.
  • When you see trump and the accordion 🪗 hands, you know he is telling lies, The accordion 🪗 hands are his body language of saying "i am telling you lies"
  • @kellymoses8566
    If someone lies to you they are insulting you. People don't lie to people they respect.
  • @momasam42
    Thank you for calling out double standards of press coverage!
  • @ToniNewman-gw4oj
    He talks in circles and speaks in BS and all of the media play his crap over and over again. Just take him off air.
  • @farid7838
    The problem is not that Trump is a pathological (yes, he's sick) liar, but that mainstream medias go along, leave him unchallenged, unchecked. This is a terrible deontological journalism disgrace.
  • @kleverklever
    This is beyond just the lies, it's a mental breakdown
  • Awesome, about time that the Harris/Walz campaign blatantly show that thier opponent is a crocked sham of a loser.
  • @Bryan-sk214
    LIAR, the single word that will sum up his legacy.
  • @pisces363
    Fact-checking him after he lies means nothing. The world knows he’s a liar. He MUST be fact-checked in real-time. Reporters who are intimidated by him need to find another profession.
  • @shortmeister4321
    Yes! Lawrence O'Donnell had the BEST opinion and commentary I've heard in YEARS. I was so glad he was brave and focused like a laser beam..
