MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell took a subtle shot at Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) while describing his experience Monday attending Donald Trump’s criminal hush-money trial, wryly commenting that the former president’s ally was “taking it all in as best he can, whatever sense he can make of it.”
Monday’s proceedings saw Tuberville and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) follow in the footsteps of Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton by making themselves seen at the first criminal trial of a former president. O’Donnell, outside the courtroom during a midafternoon break, recalled the lawmakers’ time there.
The pair sat a few rows in front of him, O’Donnell said, in the “vice presidential nominee audition bench” behind the “Eric Trump bench.”
