today, especially, how sean went through the room and tried to move on to people and they abruptly left in 45 minutes. it was hot in there. they are trying to navigate the waters and figure it out themselves. it s baffling right now. rick wilson, you worked for politicians. there s an answer when the politician insists that you go out there and tell a lie, and the answer is a simple two-word answer i resign. it is not a difficult moment. shouldn t be a difficult moment for anyone. it s a very simple sentence i resign. i m hearing a lot of sympathy that sean spicer is in a tough spot. it doesn t look like a tough spot to me if you know who you are. look, these are guys who are morally capitulated to trump and trumpism. i feel that sean spicer, on saturday, was almost over acting to prove a point, the equivalent of blinking out the word hostage or blinking morse code with his
that does it for us tonight. it is time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. sorry to eat your last 45 seconds. it s tough to watch. there are reports that said he was able to wave to people on the way out. he seemed to be coming back even when he was on the floor. that s right. his aides and family both say he will be fine but obviously nobody likes to see that. we will be watching reports. thank you, rachel. a new lawsuit could force president trump to release his tax returns and finally revealing who he owes money to and other details because of the emoluments clause of the constitution. laurence tribe is part of the lawsuit that s been brought about that clause. he will join us tonight. i wonder what it s like when you are telling a kid about the story of george washington cutting down the cherry tree and saying to his dad, i cannot tell a lie. i cut down the tree.
