The One Question The Press Failed To Ask Elon

Lawrence O'Donnell spent his segment on 'The Last Word' rightfully shaming the White House press corps for failing to ask about Elon Musk "literally snatching food away from starving babies." He did say that Musk was asked about his conflicts of interest, but nothing was asked about "Musk's decision supported by Donald Trump to take food away from starving babies, from starving mothers, from starving grandparents."

"Today, a few members of the White House press corps were allowed to ask questions in the White House press briefing room with the White House press secretary at the podium, something that doesn't happen every day in the Trump White House, but did happen every day in the Biden White House," O'Donnell said. "They asked questions about Elon Musk's possible conflict of interest, but no one in the White House press corps asked a question about Elon Musk, literally snatching food away from starving babies."

"There has not been one question asked in the White House by anyone in the White House press corps to the White House press secretary or to Donald Trump about Elon Musk's decision supported by Donald Trump to take food away from starving babies, from starving mothers, from starving grandparents in Sudan, where the United States Agency for International Development was saving lives every day," he continued. "By getting food to people in the middle of a famine, Elon Musk's conflicts of interest, though, of course, are not as important."
