Lawrence O’Donnell Names ‘Clown’ Official Who Is Trump’s ‘Most Tortured Accomplice’ | EUROtoday

Lawrence O’Donnell delivered a blistering critique of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday, branding the multimillionaire a “sleazy punk” and a “buffoon” over his outlandish defenses of President Donald Trump.

“That is a Trump Cabinet invention,” O’Donnell stated. “They invented it this time around. That’s not what they were doing last time. We’ve never had a more ridiculous secretary of the Treasury than that clown who you just saw.”

O’Donnell stated he as soon as believed Trump’s first-term Treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin, represented the low level for the function.

“But he now looks like a statesman compared to the buffoon Donald Trump has put in that job to lie for him every day,” O’Donnell stated, arguing that Bessent — a married homosexual man — was humiliating himself by serving Trump and the GOP.

O’Donnell prompt Bessent’s conduct modified as soon as he got here into Trump’s orbit. “There was no evidence of Scott Bessent being a pathological liar before working for Donald Trump,” he stated. “But he is Donald Trump’s best student in the art form of Trump-speak, which is deranged, irrational, irrelevant lying.”

Bessent is now Trump’s “most tortured accomplice,” per the title of O’Donnell’s evaluation. Watch the clip right here:
