Trump defied 'any sense of reality' in Vegas rally speech: MSNBC analyst
June 10, 2024
Reacting to Donald Trump's speech on Sunday at a rally in scorching Las Vegas, MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch hammered the former president for calling the Jan. 6 rioters "hostages," before accusing him of creating a fake "reality" for his supporters.
Speaking with Deutsch, "Way Too Early" host Jonathan Lemire suggested Democrats will use footage of Trump's fans storming the Capitol and attacking Capitol police as the election nears.
"Let's start with Donald Trump," Lemire prompted his guest. "This is not a new refrain, him praising the January 6th insurrectionists; now, calling them heroes and contrasting them with the Capitol police, just a new low."
"Also using the word hostages," Deutsch replied. "You know, with what's going on in Israel. We have hostages we know all too well and sadly. To call them hostages is ridiculous. J6, all of the sudden now it's a thing because he's branded it, J6 and that the police said, 'come on in, come on in.'"

"It's just as if the videotape never existed as if we never saw the footage," he continued. "It's just amazing how he can defy any sense of reality, and his followers believe it."
"You know, it's been a few years, and we've got to just continue to refresh people's memories," Deutsch elaborated. "When you see it, you just wonder, how can anybody vote for this side, who relishes these people, who calls these people champions, who calls these people heroes, victims, hostages. You're staring at this and going, 'What planet am I on?"'
