“it was all a lie.”
Jon Ossoff unloads on Donald Trump, and Roland Martin says this is exactly the kind of fight Democrats need to bring.
Ossoff goes after Trump over the cost of living, saying Americans are paying more to stock the fridge, power their homes, buy school supplies and keep up with everyday life while Trump and his allies protect the ultra-rich. He also blasts the administration over war, corruption and broken promises, then labels Trump a “crook president.”
Later, Ossoff goes even further, calling Trump a “draft dodging crook president” while defending Sen. Mark Kelly and condemning Trump’s attacks on people who have actually served the country.
Roland’s reaction is clear: stop pulling punches. He says Democrats need to “take the shot,” call Trump exactly who he is, and stop acting like there are rules when Trump has spent years lying, bullying and trampling any sense of decency.
The broader point in this conversation is political urgency. Roland and the panel argue that truth alone is not enough if Democrats are too timid to use it. Their case is that voters are already paying the price for Trump’s lies, and leaders willing to fight out loud matter right now.
