Watch: Lawrence O'Donnell rips Trump co-defendant for being 'even stupider than I thought'

During the lame duck period of late 2020 and early 2021, Donald Trump loyalists were hoping that if attorney Jeffrey Clark took over the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), he would be able to help Trump remain in office. Trump and his allies had been disappointed when Bill Barr made it clear that he didn't believe the election had been stolen from Trump and resigned as U.S. attorney general.

Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pennsylvania) was among the MAGA Republicans who tried to help Trump stay in office, and Clark, according to the Washington Post, told him, "I'm praying…. and wonder if I'm worthy or ready."

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell slammed Clark during a scathing late November commentary, mocking the idea that there was anything religious about Clark's actions. And the MSNBC host noted that Clark has recently attacked him on social media.

"If God chose lawyers," O'Donnell told viewers, "God would never choose Jeffrey Clark, the indicted lawyer. There is ample proof of that in the details of how Jeffrey Clark became an indicted co-defendant of Donald Trump in Georgia. Jeffrey Clark was correct to, quote, 'wonder if I'm worthy or ready.' He wasn't. Jeffrey Clark wasn't worthy and was never going to be ready to become acting attorney general, or to advise a president of the United States about anything involving the law at any time."

O'Donnell went on to call out Clark's recent attack on him via X, formerly Twitter. Trump has called for the federal government to shut down MSNBC, and O'Donnell ripped Trump and Clark for failing to understand how cable news is governed.

O'Donnell explained, "Donald Trump doesn't seem to know that cable television actually passes through a cable, not over the airwaves — thereby completely avoiding the jurisdiction of the FCC…. Indicted lawyer Jeffrey Clark…. wrote a long tweet trying to insist that Donald Trump was right to say that cable television uses free airwaves. It was the most idiotic composition on that point that a lawyer or non-lawyer could have possibly come up with…. Today, Jeffrey Clark, in his Twitter communication with me, convinced me, beyond a reasonable double, that he is even stupider than I thought.
