Soledad O'Brien smacks down Andrew Sullivan's white male victim schtick on HBO's Real Time (VIDEO)

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/10/soledad-obrien-smacks-andrew-sullivans-white-male-victim-schtick-hbos-real-time/


“What happened, is the Democrats and I have to say the mainstream media, made this not about Brett Kavanaugh, but about all white men,” Sullivan said. “That all white men are essentially wannabe rapists, that all white men are the problem.”

O’Brien loudly sighed.

“I feel sorry for you,” she said. “Because clearly you’re a victim!”

“I’m not!” Sullivan interjected. “I’m saying to take one individual, and say all white men are this—”

“No one said that,” O’Brien said. “Oh, please!”

The two then interrupted each other until Sullivan asked O’Brien to “let me finish, for goodness sake.”

Sullivan then maintained again that Democrats tried to make the Kavanaugh case about all white men as O’Brien said it didn’t happen.

I worked at a TV station and RS completely stole video from us and had to get a stern talking to from the station manager and lawyers

It was a good show, the historian at start was great, and New Rules should be an ad for Democrats going into the election, Well parts of it.

liked Soledad O'Brien, she didn't take any nonsense from Sullivan, and David Jolly was very good too. Doris Kearns Goodwin is always interesting to listen to. The show got really funny toward the end, and it's probably the first time I really laughed this whole week. We live to fight another day!

with some erudite insight missed by everyone else. It’s usually a load of bullshit, and Soledad called him on it. He was actually regurgitating tRump’s bs.

Always remember that Sullivan is a conservative.

I just watched the show on You Tube. I wanted to smack the shit out of him. I have no tolerance for anyone who claims that white men are victims.
