@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Kudos to Lawrence O Donnell from Argentina for NOT excising the Spanish portion of Alex Padilla's speech after the incontravertibly RACIST physical attack he endured. Yours is the only version not to do so that I have seen.

Anecdotal evidence: In Buenos Aires, the first reaction from Catholics I know to news of an "American pope" was absolute horror. This says a whole lot more about perceptions of the US than it does about Leo XIV, of course, and I expect views will change. #PopeLeoXIV

"I am the Chosen One," says Trump during this rant, glancing heavenward as he does so. Surely it is time to invoke that amendment, you know the one I mean, the one that was designed for just such a moment as this????

I HATE reposting vile images such as this. But there is no choice. Unless we confront what is actually going on, it will only get worse.
