Liberal media personalities are losing their minds again — and this time, it’s over a presidential pardon. MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell launched into a fiery rant Monday night, accusing President Donald Trump of corruption and demanding accountability after Trump said he didn’t personally know the crypto executive he pardoned.
O’Donnell’s outburst came after a 60 Minutes interview where Trump explained he “didn’t know” Changpeng Zhao, a cryptocurrency billionaire who served a short sentence for financial violations. Trump said the case was just another “Biden witch hunt” — a phrase that has become all too familiar to Americans tired of political double standards.
MSNBC Turns a Non-Story Into an Impeachment Fantasy
During his MSNBC broadcast, O’Donnell claimed that if Joe Biden had done something similar, Republicans would “immediately move to impeach him.” But the truth is exactly the opposite. Democrats have spent years trying to impeach Trump over nothing — from fake Russia collusion stories to January 6 smears that fell apart under scrutiny.
Instead of talking about the broken economy, the border crisis, or global unrest, the left’s media wing keeps inventing new reasons to attack Trump and distract voters from Biden’s failures.
What Really Happened in the 60 Minutes Interview
When asked about Zhao’s pardon, Trump told CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell that he had “no idea” who Zhao was — and that his sons handled business ventures in the crypto world, not him.
“My sons are into it,” Trump said. “They’re running a business. They’re not in government.”
Rather than accept that explanation, MSNBC twisted Trump’s words into a scandal, ignoring the fact that the Biden family has made millions through overseas deals and shady business ties — and the mainstream media barely blinks.
Double Standards and Liberal Hypocrisy
O’Donnell ranted that Biden would be labeled “corrupt or senile” if he used the same defense Trump did. Ironically, that’s exactly what many Americans already believe about Joe Biden, who has repeatedly stumbled through public statements and denied involvement in his son’s business schemes — despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
If a Democrat pardons a political ally, it’s “justice.” If Trump does the same, it’s “corruption.” That’s the liberal playbook in a nutshell.
Conservatives See Through the Media’s Games
O’Donnell’s meltdown is just the latest reminder that MSNBC and CNN live to smear Trump while covering for Biden’s every blunder. Millions of Americans see through it — and they’re rallying behind Trump as the one man willing to fight back against the establishment media, the Deep State, and the D.C. swamp.
With the 2026 elections approaching, expect the attacks to keep coming. But this time, voters are awake — and they’re not buying the media’s narrative anymore.
Bottom Line: It’s Not About the Pardon — It’s About Power
The left doesn’t actually care about pardons, ethics, or consistency. They care about control. Every attack on Trump is an attempt to weaken his momentum heading into the next election — because they know he’s the only leader who can restore America’s strength, prosperity, and pride.
No matter what MSNBC says, Trump isn’t going anywhere. And deep down, even they know it.
