House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) responded to his meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday to discuss ways to keep the government from shutting down on Oct. 1.
In an appearance on MSNBC, left-wing host Lawrence O’Donnell opened the segment by mentioning an AI video of Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who was also at the White House meeting, posted to Trump’s social media.
In it, Schumer is seen talking to reporters with Jeffries standing beside him in a sombrero and Mexican-style handlebar mustache, as mariachi music plays in the background.
O’Donnell kicked off the segment by criticizing the video and vowing not to show it before accusing Trump of lying about what transpired at the White House meeting, which also included Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.).
“Could you give us your reaction to that Trump-posted video tonight?” O’Donnell asked.
