If there was any doubt that MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell is a horrible human being, what he said about our U.S. military personnel in light of the New Orleans terrorist attack should erase it all. According to Lawrence, our own military members are a much bigger threat and instigators of terrorism than illegal migrants, comments which he delivered during a segment on the network Thursday. What a shameful thing to say about fellow citizens who have volunteered to serve their country.
“The simple fact is, this country has suffered more deadly terrorism at the hands of American-born citizens who are veterans of the United States military than people who have crossed into this country at the southern border,” O’Donnell said on the show. “It is very clear from the evidence that if you want to worry about terrorism in this country, the United States Army is a much bigger problem than the southern border.”

Early on New Year’s Day, chaos broke out on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. The suspect, later identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, is accused of ramming a truck into crowds in the city’s popular French Quarter, killing at least 15 and injuring dozens of others. Jabbar, who was armed with a Glock and a .308 rifle, was killed after opening fire on police. O’Donnell used examples of military veterans, including Timothy McVeigh, the domestic terrorist behind the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, to argue that American veterans have perpetuated more violence than immigrants have in U.S. history.
“Timothy McVeigh parked a truck outside that building loaded with explosives in an act of homegrown American terrorism,” O’Donnell remarked on the air. “Timothy McVeigh’s hatred of the American government was not tamed in any way by his service in the American military. So, too, with America’s latest terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Eve, with an American military veteran driving a pickup truck through a crowd to murder 14 people.”
“But when Donald Trump sees the type of terrorist attack that occurred in New Orleans, he doesn’t remember Timothy McVeigh and, instead, he blames the criminals that he imagines are crossing the southern border,” the MSNBC host added.
Just look at the crime statistics, especially among states that are close to the southern border. There are also stats that show a staggering number of individuals whose names are on the terrorist watch list, have slipped across the border and disappeared into the country. Lawrence and other brain dead liberals don’t seem to believe those individuals are up to no good.
“No one who has ever crossed the southern border, in the history of the existence of the southern border, has killed more people in this country than Timothy McVeigh, who was born in Lockport, New York, the northwest part of the state, into a White Roman Catholic American family with roots in this country that go back farther than Donald Trump’s roots in this country,” O’Donnell continued on his show. “The New Orleans terrorist, like Timothy McVeigh, reached the rank of sergeant in the United States Army.”
