The fatal shooting of a Colombian migrant in Maine on Monday morning was undoubtedly a tragedy, but until more information comes out, it’s probably best to hold off passing judgement, especially if you have a national news show. But MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell instead pounced right onto Maine’s Republican Senator Susan Collins on Tuesday’s episode of The Last Word. He blamed Senator Susan Collins for everything he could think of, while simultaneously using extreme rhetoric against ICE and President Donald Trump.
O’Donnell started off his show with an unhinged ramble about the Senate itself, complaining that the states had equal representation. In his mind, each state having two Senators made it “impossible for the United States to claim that the federal government is even close to a real democracy.”
Every night, O’Donnell calls Trump stupid and ignorant on everything from history to the Constitution, but if he himself had paid any attention to his middle school social studies, he would know that America wasn’t designed as a pure democracy, but a representative republic.
Really? @Lawrence is now whining about… the Constitutional Convention of 1787.News flash: America is a representative democracy, not a pure democracy. Everyone who paid attention in middle school social studies knows that. pic.twitter.com/e8fNBY4whY— Cici Marie (@Cici_Marie_1776) July 15, 2026
