An MSNBC host claims that US military personnel are bigger threats than illegal aliens
Lawrence O’Donnell leveraged the attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas to push the idea that Americans, specifically military personnel, are more dangerous than illegal aliens. O’Donnell dismisses, as Donald Trump’s “imagination”, the criminals illegally crossing into the United States. O’Donnell pointed to the casualties that resulted from Timothy McVeigh’s attack to help forward his argument that military personnel are more dangerous than illegal aliens.
From Fox News:
“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. “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 said. “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 continued.

Joey Jones chimes in around the 2.00 mark.
Yeah, ah…no.
The fucking media hypes these rare and unfortunate attacks while HIDING attacks by illegal immigrants. I know O’Donnell has YUGE issues with he truth like Russia-gate and others like most of the media. No, his personal best/worst was his lie about Trump & Deutsche Bank back in 2019. His network & his show is dying, so he needs a sensationalized headline to try and draw some eyes. Fuck him and the gay horse he rode in on.

Typical DNC media minions parroting their given talking points, and yes, each and every one of them can KISS MY ASS while they eat shit and bark at the moon, shit in their Starbucks ® coffee cups!
Now, “toxic masculinity” too:

Marcotte has a serious case of TDS, and only a passing familiarity with reality
He either gets down on his knees and apologizes, or he gets fired and is sent out to get his ass kicked by every Veteran in this country.
I’m good with that. Just tell me when and where, it’s gonna be a long line.
I got a pair of Redwing steel toe work boots model 2233,
size 10.5, new in the box that I will gladly donate.
These will probably pinch my EE feet a bit, but I am willing to make the sacrifice. Damn the expense!
PS
A picture is worth a thousand words.
He’s not even worth that to me, prissy little shits like him go nuts when they’re ignored, and I wonder if he didn’t go on that rant as a publicity stunt?
The biggest threat to this country are all the MSNBC/CNN hosts spreading how to B.S. their A-Hole viewers using the Joseph Goebbels method of spreading BS propaganda. Is their another show called LSMFT. Sorry, thats, Lucky Strikes mean fine tobbaco.
I’d like to see his numbers. Most of the immigrant terrorists walk in the front door not across the Southern border. The Boston Bombers came as kids, Tasheen Malik married into the country. Plenty of immigrant terrorists out there for everyone.
Consider the source.
Hey, Dippy…if the veterans in this country were the terrorists, you’d know it. And when the sleeper cells of illegal immigrant terrorists are activated…you’re going to know it.
PHUQUE HEEM!
He’s a got point. However, once you remove all the members of the religion of peace the number plummet.
No O’Donnell you ignorant fuck. Islamist will always lead in terrorist attacks and you can count Jabber as one of them. Nidal Hasan was a radical Muslim and he killed his fellow soldiers. Timothy McVeigh is a piker to what the mussies did on 9/11.
Also you don’t mention what is occurring outside the US, in Europe where a mussie ran over people in Germany and and have Gang rape squads all over Europe.
In the words of Foghorn Leghorn, Go away boy, ya bother me.
What a loser.
And will totally ignore and memory hole every muslim terror attack and trannie shooting up.a Christian school.
OR the one who ran his car into a Jewish Day Care Center and said he did it “because the world needs fewer Jews.”
Hamas, a Democrat or, these days, both.
There is a former executive of the Reston Virginia branch of All Points Logistics who would wholeheartedly agree with that assessment.
Who is avoiding calls while sucking down cheap booze.
It’s easy to avoid phone calls from debt collectors when your telephone service has been disconnected for not paying the bill.
And MSNBC cannot figure out why they are losing viewers and revenue. 🥴
Wow! What a fucking moron! No wonder MSLSD is in the shitter!
👍
Last I heard, MSDNC is FOR SALE, it’s that far down the shitpipes!
I bid $5, and that’s being generous out of my budget.
Well! Shit now comes on a stick.
Everyone has the right to be total idiot, but Lawrence O’Donnel heavily abuses the privilege!
One thing I like about O’Donnell is that he makes my occasional idiocy look like genius.
Has anyone told that babbling idiot JUST HOW MANY of the 9/11 hijackers were US Veterans? Yeah right, NONE of them, most were Saudi, and a few were ILLEGAL ALIENS.
Being a total idiot must be a prerequisite to being hired at MSDNC.
We can’t paint everyone who shares a characteristic with one bad actor … unless those being painted are veterans, White people, Christians, Conservatives, etc. Also, if a Muslim or other media-protected demographic commits a heinous crime, it will be the fault of everyone who does not share the demographic of the bad actor.
How many times do you deplorables need to have this explained to you before you accept this?
I don’t know what it’s going to take to turn all this around. A sweep of the White House and Congress hasn’t, losing viewership and millions of dollars hasn’t, spy balloons and drones hasn’t, handing the Presidential Freedom Medal to Soros hasn’t – yeah, I’m still really, really furious over that one, or more correctly, over the lack of reaction to that one.
I’m really thinking we are well overdue for an asteroid strike. Or maybe for the San Andreas to finally do it’s job. I hear there is a growing volcano off the coast of Oregon that has seismologists and volcanologists nervous.
15 days.
There’s always the Sweet Meteor of Death some talk about, the SMOD!
Apparently we are not doing this anymore.
Fuck that nasty bitch. May she rot in hell.

Her brother did…
The more I think about it, the more I think that Lawrence O’Donnell is about as mentally competent as Psul of the ballsack.
Just when you think you hate the media enough, they say something that makes you realize you don’t hate them enough.
They’re 24K attention whores IMHO.
With big ass microphones and a line into the TVs of every home in America.
This is the Soros (didn’t earn the medal) / Bill Gates / Mark Zuckerberg -approved line.
Our local newspaper reprinted an AP article by by some collective of idiots that the two events show the danger military veterans pose.
I’m still trying to decide how to respond. The local staff just has to print what their masters tell them to print. The local news coverage is not too bad, if your expectations are low enough.
Sees MSNBC:
All I want to hear from O’Donnel is thank you.
He did not serve in the military so someone else made the payments on the freedom he enjoys. Anyone know if O’Donnel Senior served or is multiple generations that haven’t put any flesh in the game.
Media is the biggest threat, by far, due to the misinformation and disinformation they help spread, as well as their habit of selective reporting and the false sense of security it provides the ignorant.
Whenever a terrorist attack or other mass casualty event occurs, you can bet that the following info on the attacker(s) will be reported on as soon as it’s assumed to be true:
White
Military background
MAGA supporter
Ties to known “conservative” and/or non-Muslim religious extremist groups
The following will be close-hold information until it’s absolutely confirmed, and media are unable to continue to cover it up, and even then, it will be downplayed:
Non-White (especially Black, Hispanic, or Middle Eastern)
LBGTQETC
Democrat voter, especially if they are on the far left of the spectrum
Supporter of radical Islamic groups, Antifa, BLM, or other known (but rarely mentioned) violent/terroristic organizations
McVeigh committed his act nearly 30 years ago and has been rotting since 2001. His motivations and excuses died with him, and while there’s no arguing that he was an evil man who took 168 innocent lives, the world and especially our country has changed tremendously since then. Despite what the government, media, and others would have us believe, the homegrown domestic terrorist has been supplanted by the radicalized Islamic terrorist–either homegrown or imported. The problem with open borders is that we have no idea how many are being imported. Sure, there’s a chance that more Hasans, Jabbars, or Akbars are being indoctrinated as I type this, but those murderers committed their acts despite their military service, not because of it, with two committing their acts against fellow Servicemen.
On a final note, the media and its surrogates help to agitate and encourage violence against certain segments of society. MAGA=BAD, ACAB, etc…. so put on your black hoodie and take on “The Man” in the name of those who hold true power.
I think the actions of some veterans that have displayed mental illness/brainwashing/zealots for some weird cause is not indicative of the other 99.99999% of normal veterans who have protected this country. This a reminder to the left that veterans as a whole are highly trained and effective deterrents to those that want to harm our nation. Both from inside and outside our borders. The left will use any cause to malign veterans and what they have done for this nation. They would without thought of consequences disarm this nation and implement their progressive ideologies and enslave the people to follow their doctrine leading this nation to full blown socialism/communism. So when I hear the left wing news media and Hollywood leftist speaking I know they are concerned for their cause. Anything they can do to stop DJT is not off the table. All our freedoms must be defended and our constitution protected from those who claim to be saving America when in fact they believe the constitution is fluid and malleable when it is not. It is a symbol of freedom and static in its protection of our liberties. Let no one deceive you. Our Freedom is at stake!
I am thoroughly convinced that the left wants to disarm American Citizens because their end goal is something we would shoot back over.
Don’t forget the 2015 terrorist attack in San Bernadino. Both attackers were Muslim, one US born, one Pakastani. Killed 14 I think.
Orlando nightclub, Las Vegas Music Festival, Uvalde…
None of those were perpetrated by veterans.
Come to think of it, a number of those mass shootings were done by “trans people” who never served, but that goes against the “left-think’ grain, thus it’s shuffled away and censored by the mainstream DNC-owned media.
Wasnt the totally a lone gunman Stephen Paddock in the Coast Guard*?
Time for more Political officers in the branches!
*no he wasn’t.
Yeah, do not under estimate us older former Marine motor t mechanics. We know things. Be afraid, be very afraid.
“We know thing”, like how to dodge the Road Master’s checkpoint.
That “Test Drive” placard was used to hide many a nefarious use of a vehicle.
I’m too tired to look up a reference, but I remember, not too long after 9/11, Bill Maher made some stupid comments about how brave the 9/11 culprits were to do what they did and how cowardly the US Military is because they launch rockets from a safe distance away from the target ( I am paraphrasing his words, so not a direct quote). Those comments were what led to him losing his show, and eventually moving to HBO- the bastion of Liberty and Honesty!
I figure that several of you, here, remember that.
Then, FKB comes along, and ole Bill says things that actually make sense because the Left has went SO FAR off of the rails.
It’s the politicians that’re the risk-adverse ones setting up those amoral techniques.
Having dead SMs’ blood on their hands makes it hard to hold onto those corporate
payoffsdonations.Bill ‘incidentally correct’ Maher?
FJB***
Not FKB!(fat fingers)
I remember, as does Pepperidge Farm.
It was only a matter of time before the media said out loud what they’ve been alleging quietly (and not so quietly) for years.
Right back to the “crazy vet” trope they used to trot out after Vietnam, too.
You cannot hate the media enough. You think you do, but you don’t.
What a moron.
The real threats are the ones crossing our borders, selling drugs to and murdering our citizens.
And our friends in Iran and China… but I digress.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/01/05/chinese-ship-severs-undersea-cables-around-taiwan/
If we were a “problem”, he’d’a found out by now.
But we ain’t started playing “veterans and Libtards” yet. Yet.
Is that like playing cavalry and injuns?
US military personnel ARE a threat to the legacy media and the Democrat establishment.
I always try to read between the lines, what they really mean. “Our democracy” is a code word for their control of the government.
Just remember FJB explained yet again today, White Supremacy is the only real terrorist threat we face.
