O’Donnell slammed the creation and naming of the committee by the “rabid, right-wing, election-denying, relentless, Trump-echoing Jim Jordan.”
“If you lie as a lot as Donald Trump and Jim Jordan, you’re going to lie concerning the new Home committee you create and you’re going to put the lie proper there within the title of the committee,” he stated. “That’s why on this program I keep away from in each manner potential saying the title of that committee as a result of that’s Jim Jordan making an attempt to drive me to make use of his phrases which can be a lie in describing the work of that committee.”
“I don’t have that drawback with every other congressional committee in historical past — as a result of committee names have been by no means a lie till now,” O’Donnell added.
O’Donnell later cited late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s (D-N.Y.) idea of “semantic infiltration,” when “you drive your opponent to make use of your language to explain one thing.”
“That’s why I by no means need to use the phrase Fox and the phrase Information subsequent to one another,” the MSNBC anchor added.
