[January 8, 2025] I couldn’t let this slur upon our U.S. Veterans and military slide by without comment. President-elect Trump made recent comments about the terror threat at the southern border. In response, MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell claimed that US military Veterans pose a greater threat than illegal immigrants.
His point is that America should focus on U.S. Veterans rather than illegal aliens if we are interested in preventing terrorism. O’Donnell provided examples, including Timothy McVeigh, to argue that it is our Veterans who are guilty of the most violence compared to immigrants in our 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…” “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.” — MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell
These comments are deeply irresponsible and wrong. To say something like this, in the face of the recent 20-year war on terrorism, where thousands of our military suffered and died at the hands of Islamic terrorists, is a level of disrespect unparalleled in the woke media world.
Claiming that the currently living 16 million Veterans in our country who served honorably are somehow the greatest threat to America is beyond comprehension. O’Donnell is a small lapdog for the Democrat Party. It is happy to spout their latest attack on our value system and attack those like our military, firefighters, police, and other first responders.
To say that “the U.S. Army is a breeding ground for terrorists” goes far beyond despicable and is the sort of evil that has become the hardcore Leftist standard. Other hosts on MSNBC also claim that it is young white men are a greater danger than ISIS members and illegals.
I’m not sure what drives these delusions – be it support for Biden’s open border policy or hatred for Trump – but those who make such outrageous claims have lost all their human decency. It should be no surprise that American men and women no longer trust or believe the remnants of the legacy media. O’Donnell is now the point man for evil.

MSNBC who?
Bloviating moronic talking head.
First off, this is not at all surprising to me and most honest people. MSNBC is a channel that exists only because of George Soros money infusion. The channel is losing money because they pay idiot anti-Americans like Lawrence O’Donnell. And to think someone like him actually believes what crap he spews out is frightening. There are rumors the channel is up for sale now or in the near future and that Elon Musk is considering purchasing them. Now that would be interesting and ironic.
Dirt Bag, oh did I say that out loud?
Yep, dirt bag all the way. This idiot (I think Gen. Satterfield is okay with this mild slur) is digging himself a deep hole in the groun because he is attacking the majority of great Americans who just want a good job, a family, and time off with them. I agree Lawrence O’Donnell has shown us his true colors and those colors are Commie Red.
Good Dog, I’m not so sure that O’Donnell is a red commie more than such a self-righteous, narcissistic, clueless typical tv personality. He thinks that his way is right and the rest of us are morons. Well, looks like he is about to get a wake-up call. Let’s see how MSNBC fairs as Americans move toward more media outlets and those that support America rather than trying to tear her down like O’Donnell is doing.
Lawrence O’Donnell is nothing but a traitor. I know, strong words. But I speak the truth.
Excellent article. Made my day to read that Gen. Satterfield saw this disgusting and unprofessional behaand is willing to call it out, publicly.
There are still many Americans, low-information voters who actually believe what they hear on the legacy media channels. Those old, no-longer useful or informative channels believe they must hype everything but in the case of MSNBC, they think that by insulting our most valuable parts of our society that they will attract more viewers. Of course, they made a serious error. My guess is they know it but now believe their own propaganda and are this unwilling to change. And O’Donnell is a classic example of a nutcase with a microphone.
Excellent point TJ. MSNBC has been losing viewers now for many years. There is a rumor that Elon Musk is going to buy them out, fire every one of them and start a conservative and entertaining news outlet. Now that in itself will be a valuable decision with repercussions across America and for the good. MAGA.

We love you American Girl. We believe that America is about to get back to its greatness after four years of the Democrat Party trying to destroy us. 👍
Just like in the Yellow Journalism days. I guess the owners of MSNBC didn’t bother to read the history of journalism in America.
What is MSNBC, never heard of them? Are they some fringe media? /sarc
