MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell went on an unhinged tirade against CNN over pro-Trump correspondent Scott Jennings, arguing the network shouldn’t be platforming his views.

O’Donnell took aim at CNN and Jennings from out of left field in a bizarre on-air tirade Monday, chastising the “CNN regime” for paying Jennings to spout “lies” in support of Trump, while claiming his show’s ratings were higher than the NewsNight with Abby Phillip program on which Jennings frequently appears.
Here’s a transcript of O’Donnell’s freakout:
“Now CNN eagerly pays a Trump supporter to lie on CNN every day and night for Donald Trump. CNN did this during the first Trump presidential campaign and presidency. CNN regularly paid Trump supporters to lie about Trump on CNN. But the CNN regime then realized that was a mistake, and they stopped doing it.
They stopped paying for lies. But then CNN got a new head—the head of CNN for the last three years—hired by the Trump-supporting owner and operator of CNN, who is an Englishman and thinks paying Scott Jennings to lie about Donald Trump is money very well spent.
Scott Jennings, who used to be an aide to Senator Mitch McConnell, was not always a rabid, lying Trump supporter. When he first started appearing on television, he was capable of criticizing some of the more extreme Trump positions.
But Scott Jennings figured out where the money is and how he could get his own podcast, and decided to become the J.D. Vance of CNN.
Here’s how bad that television is that they make over there: the show that Scott Jennings frequents the most is on opposite this program. And that show, on a good night, gets half of the audience of this show.
This program usually has an audience triple the size of the terrible, terrible television that Scott Jennings is delivering on the absurdly, absurdly degraded version of CNN—presided over by the man who thinks lying for Donald Trump on TV is an honorable pursuit and should be paid for by CNN.”
Jennings got the last laugh following O’Donnell’s rant, posting to X, “No, Lawrence, I do not have time to save your show.”
Social media users also reminisced about O’Donnell’s viral meltdown, when he raged at staffers over hammering sounds heard nearby.

When leftist MSNBC hosts are criticizing CNN for not being far left enough, it signals real desperation and panic over the growing popularity of Trump’s agenda.
