As our own Warren Squire reported in a VIP post early Wednesday morning, MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell had to quickly settle on a narrative after the announcement on Tuesday evening that Iran had accepted a two-week ceasefire agreement and would not be the victim of President Donald Trump's nuclear genocide. O'Donnell claimed that “a whole civilization has already died” because Trump was elected president.
The hammering has never stopped for O'Donnell. He's always mad, in both senses of the word. After Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced the incredible rescue of a U.S. airman who'd been shot down in Iran, O'Donnell took issue with Hegseth's sexist language.
Lawrence O'Donnell is breathlessly offended that Pete Hegseth's statement that "we leave no man behind" is offensive to women.

"That could have been a woman they were trying to rescue."

O'Donnell, who would otherwise have no kind words for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, praised him for saying "no one left behind."
Jesus Christ, they'll literally find *anything* to whine about. https://t.co/0p8cxWNZqV

When the leftist pundits are more worried about someone being misgendered than they are about rescuing them, that says a lot.

Sorry, Lawrence O’Donnell, women are not as stupid as you think we are.

Not counting radical left Trump-hating women, the rest of us know the statement “ we leave no man behind” means we leave NO ONE behind.
In case you’re wondering why the media are loathed today..
JFC he's a moron.

Digging pretty deep to find something to complain about, @Lawrence

Hope he keeps up this nonsense, honestly. He clearly has no idea how ridiculous it sounds and he's only helping to tank the Democrat brand. Continue the hammering! 🤣

Anyone who actually serves isn't soft enough to be offended by this. Anyone else who is offended doesn't matter.

Shut the fuck up Lawrence. Just shut the fuck up.

Good Lord, I cannot imagine being as anal retentive and offended by the most mundane, totally innocuous 🐎💩 that you people clutch your obnoxious pearls over! @Lawrence

"All of mankind" is discrimination and will not be tolerated.

If Hegseth had said, "We leave no man or woman behind," O'Donnell would probably be taking offense of behalf of all of the nonbinary airpeople out there.
