Lawrence O’Donnell had a really bad night on August 29, 2017.
We draw that conclusion based on the above clip obtained by Mediaite, showing behind the scenes footage of a furious O’Donnell absolutely going bananas in what appear to be breaks in his show.
The video, which lasts a full eight minutes, is a collection of clips from one evening (given O’Donnell’s consistent outfit) and show the MSNBC anchor fuming about earpiece malfunctions, blasting off obscenities and screaming at his staff. We were able to link it back to the August 29 show.
After introducing a clip about President Donald Trump, O’Donnell pauses, and during what one can presume was the clip going on air, a sudden flush of anger creeps onto his face.
“What’s going on, why am I losing this, why don’t I have sound,” he starts, voice rising. “Who’s asking for a Labor Day rundown in my ear?”
“God dammit,” he mutters, shaking his head, before bursting into a brief spasm of fury and slamming his fists on the desk.
In the next clip, O’Donnell finishes up a segment, and declares: “There’s insanity in the control room tonight.” He then begins to visibly shake with anger, but manages to hold his tongue, and continues reading from the prompter.
“You have insanity in my earpiece,” O’Donnell then seethes through tightly drawn lips. “Fuckin.”
The pattern continues in subsequent clips, with O’Donnell continuing to complain angrily about someone talking into his earpiece.
And then…
“STOP THE HAMMERING!” O’Donnell cries suddenly, in response to a knocking sound running faintly in the background.
He then stands up and launches into a shouted tirade past the camera.
“STOP THE HAMMERING UP THERE. WHO’S GOT A HAMMER? WHERE IS IT? WHERE’S THE HAMMER? GO UP ON THE OTHER FLOOR. SOMEBODY GO UP THERE AND STOP THE HAMMERING. STOP THE HAMMERING. I’LL GO DOWN TO THE GODDAMNED FLOOR MYSELF AND STOP IT, KEEP THE GODDAMNED COMMERCIAL BREAK GOING. CALL FUCKING PHIL GRIFFIN, I DON’T CARE WHO THE FUCK YOU HAVE TO CALL. STOP THE HAMMERING. EMPTY OUT THE GODDAMNED CONTROL ROOM AND FIND OUT WHERE THIS IS GOING ON.”
Phil Griffin is the president of MSNBC.
“Fucking out of control shit,” O’Donnell adds.
In the next and final wild piece, O’Donnell complains about the editing of a clip, wringing a piece of paper into a tight roll and throwing it to the ground.
“Jesus Christ,” he then says as he adds a pen to the things he chooses to slam on his desk. “Crazy fucking sound coming in my ear, this fucking stupid hammering.”
“It just fucking sucks,” O’Donnell laments, staring down at his desk. “It fucking sucks to be out here with this out of control shit.”[/details]
during milo’s latest outing at Berkelely he was called a Nazi. The punchline, for anyone who doesn’t already know, is that Milo Yianoppolous is a British born Jewish gay man who speaks on conservative issues. Just make that puzzle piece fit into the narrative.
…And that my friend, is the joke. There is a vid of the actual Berkeley tour, but there is this annoying shitstain that won’t stop with the “No Racist USA” chant and I would feel bad if I willingly subjected all of you to it. I must give respect to all of the people who didn’t beat the fucking paint off that bitch. I think I’d be in jail if I were there, but God bless them, they didn’t harm the damnable creature.
I believe so. It’s things like this which make him human kryptonite to pretty much all the accusations being thrown at him.
If that were true, he’d be irrelevant by now. The guy is a massive troll yet people keep feeding him over and over. The people that care about him the most are people in the far left, the ones that keep feeding him attention. I don’t like him either, but everyone just constantly takes the bait and continues to make him relevant.
