YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump recently repeated over and over that President Obama founded ISIS. It brings back memories of a classic Alvin “Turtle” Greene segment. Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick), John Iadarola (ThinkTank), and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"O’Donnell tried starting things off with a big, easy. humorous softball, asking Greene if he’s a witch. Greene smiled slightly, said “No,” then quickly moved on to explaining that his opponent, incumbent Jim DeMint, started the recession. O’Donnell then tried giving Greene another softball, asking about his high school nickname, “Turtle.” Greene responded by explaining that Jim DeMint started the recession, to which O’Donnell could only respond, “Seriously, Alvin,” and trying desperately to get an explanation about “Turtle.” Greene just said “No,” and added that Jim DeMint started the recession.

O’Donnell did manage to get a rambling, tortured, vague explanation of why Greene feels DeMint personally caused the recession, as well as an equally rambling explanation as to why Greene, unlike DeMint, thinks single mothers should be allowed to teach in public schools. But mostly, it took a backseat to Greene’s pet cause of the night, which was promoting the idea that Jim DeMint caused the recession. Greene said essentially the exact words “DeMint started the recession” or “DeMint is responsible for the recession” ten different times, and said similar things a couple times besides that.”*
