Judiciary Chairman On Impeachment, Elijah Cummings, And Trump's 9/11 Lies | The Last Word | MSNBC
During the campaign, Trump announced that if he’s elected President, he would virtually eliminate what he referred to as the “FDA Food Police” that are charged with protecting the food we all consume in this country. And when you consider that Trump restaurants have been repeatedly caught serving dirty, roach-infested, and even deadly food over the years, that’s not the least bit surprising.
In 1990, Thomas Purgatorio dined at Buffet by the Sea in Trump’s Castle Hotel and Casino. Four months later, Purgatorio was dead of organ failure brought about by eating “salmonella-tainted mousse.”
Purgatorio’s widow later filed an $11 million lawsuit against Trump’s Castle, and the suit was settled for a fraction of the original amount. Attorneys for Trump argued that Mr. Purgatorio’s death was the result of a pre-existing heart condition. And Trump attorney Alan Kaplan said that eggs in the mousse caused the salmonella. Yet such matters are exactly the kind of thing the FDA seeks to prevent.
For decades, restaurants owned by Trump have been repeatedly cited for violations which include serving month-old caviar, expired veal stock and yogurt, and eggs, cream and sausages that had been stored at unsafe temperatures.
In 1992, Trump properties in Atlantic City had “the worst track record for food-related health problems among Atlantic City’s 12 casinos.” That included five salmonella outbreaks which dated back as far as 1984. At the time, a city health inspector noted:
“We find it highly unusual that most of our problems in Atlantic City have been associated with the Trump properties. The physical part of the [establishments] is top-of-the-line but it all boils down to extremely poor food handling.”
Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida was cited 78 times over three years for health code violations including cooking staff not washing their hands and the “accumulation of black/green mold-like substance” on an ice machine.
And now he is trying to break the scientific backbone of the USDA by forcing researchers to move to Kansas City at once, or lose their jobs. Their work covers, among many others, the impact of climate change on our agricultural practices, safe practices for fertilization and livestock feeding, and the impact of ag practices on bees and other insects essential for pollination. He doesn’t care.
Thank you for this information .. we know everything he does is self serving and never for the people he is supposed to be serving and protecting.
Excellent research
David mind if I repost your comment elsewhere to spread the word?
@David mind if I repost your comment elsewhere so we can spread the word about this?
The new Trump campaign slogan:
Winning elections, with foreign interventions, since 2016.
If Russia did help get Trump elected, I thank you very much Russia, you saved America !!
@Jim J. Amazing the FRAUD that has been promoted by a corrupt Democrat Party and left-nut Media. Hillary and the DNC colluded with Russian agents buying a fake dossier to try and overthrow the 2016 election.
@Gary Lee , My father was doing some plowing one day, when I came
running up and said: “Dad, there’s a man at the door asking us who we will vote for and will we donate money.”
“That’s okay” said my father. “Now you go back and find
out what political party he is. If he’s a republican, lock up the
chicken house, cause he’ll want to steal some chickens.
If he’s a democrat, lock up the moonshine, cause he’ll tax it.
And if he’s Trump, sit between your mother’s legs until I get there.”
Steve Mcgrath So they tried to hack the voting machines ( they couldn’t get it done) I’m not so sure that’s true anyway.. And the adds that Russia supposed to of used on Facebook, have you ever seen them? I would like to see them!!. So what’s next WikiLeaks so you are mad at Trump because WikiLeaks exposed crooked Hillary, Did Russian hack Hillary’s Emails? No they didn’t because her Emails were downloaded in the states not Russia… if you wanna know how I know this do some homework, just because the media likes to keep you dumb you don’t have to be dumb.. I mean what’s the difference between you wanting and getting news against Trump and the media giving it to you it’s the same thing , WikiLeaks giving information to the people of the USA- Trump team..Fusion GPS was hired by Hillary and the DNC to find information on Trump? Difference? Hillary is Connected to Russia, Jerry Nadler pays a Russian lobbyist 1,000 a month for the last 16 years and its 100% factual where is you’re outraged? Oh I forgot you didn’t know because the media won’t tell you..🤮 Russia Russia Russia. The Hoax..
Trump already has a note from his doctor to get out of the trade war with China.
@James Sudbury MAGA…feed Trump KFC until his arteries solidify with grease and fat.

15:10 @ USA Government was ready months for 911. Afghanistan war and assassination of the northern Lions leader all in the same game.
He has Eye-spurs🤔
A racist, an adulterer, and a criminal walk into a bar…
The bartender asks, “What can I get you Mr. President?”
😂😂😂😂
😲🤭

Trump, Manafort, and Flynn walk into a bar…
The bartender immediately shouts:
“White Russians for Everyone!”
@Phylum Donald walks into a bar and asks to see pictures of the wines.

If only everyone could see that Catherine 🙁
tempgirl00711 that’s what all the russians are saying comrade.
Dump liberals
Jimmy Wilson trump should thank Democrat’s for his immigrant wife.
Why is Bush not in Prison for 9/11? And why is the same 9/11 WarMongers back in Trump’s Admin? Bolton, Pompeo, Abrams, and Haspel.
idk why wasn’t Regan? or lt Calley for that matter… the us never holds its own accountable…
@Captain Obvious Not us! We’re a nation of isolates. Can’t get a substantial movement off the ground without going to war, I guess.
@US of Zion Bush has not been charged with War Crimes etc…because everyone that knows the back scene, understood the criminal was Cheney. Cheney was selected by the elders of the Republican Party to cover, advise and guide. Jeb was the Bush prepared to be President. Nobody knew that Cheney agreed to be Vice President, like Trump…to PROFIT!! We went to war and Cheney made money off of it. Obama had compassion for Bush. The buck stops with him. But if anyone should go to prison…it is Cheney!!
@Captain Obvious Don’t forget lazy…yep l-a-z-y!!
BUSH, CHENEY, AND RUMSFELD HAVE “BEEN DECLARED “WAR CRIMINALS” BY THE “HAGUE”, GO ONLINE AND LOOK IT UP. IT’S A TRUE FACT…. AND THEY THINK PEOPLE HERE IN THE “STATES DON’T KNOW IT”, OH WE KNOW ALRIGHT,
MORE THAN LIKELY “THE LETTERS THAT WERE HANDED TO THEM AT BUSH SENIOR’S FUNERAL, I’M WILLING TO BET THAT WHAT THEY WERE, OH AND OBAMA GOT ONE TOO ALONG WITH THE CLINTON’S….UMMMMM !!!!
Would this be a good time to mention that many of these rat-infested properties are owned and operated by – oh, wait for it – one Jared Kushner? 🤔
So c’mon t’rump! Throw Jared under the bus and maybe he’ll leave Ivanka.
And you can have her all to yourself! 😃😆😅😂
It is also a good time to mention that this is a matter for State and Municipal govts.
Donald Trump is an orange pus-filled abscess who wants to bang his daughter-wife
THAT’S WHY TRUMP SAID WHAT HE SAID ABOUT CUMMINGS DISTRICT, BECAUSE HE KNEW “KUSHNER’S SLUMS WERE GOING TO BE AIRED/EXPOSED.”
Individual 1 he makes ,Nixon, look like a Boy Scout compared to him.

@Closeoutracer Baaa-hahahaha-haaaa!………. Oh, you were serious? Wow. Russiagate was a joke, but there was clearly obstruction.
@Andrew Bugbee trying to stop them from spending countless millions on a joke investigation, is Obstruction????
@Andrew Bugbee Says the people who told you trump/russia was a sure thing. LOL. You’ve returned to the Apple salesman who sold you rotten apples for 2 years straight.. that’s on you.
Here are some of his 9/11 lies…
Claiming that he helped first responders clear rubble, not knowing “what was going to come down on all of us”;
Bragging that he would have the tallest building in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers collapsed. (The brag is real; the stat was not);
Claiming that he predicted 9/11. (Fact-check: false);
Saying he saw “many people” jump from the Twin Towers from the telescope in his penthouse;
Insisting, on more than one occasion, that he saw “thousands” of Muslims celebrating the attacks in New Jersey.
For an attention seeking narcissist. A publicity seeker of legend…… Show a picture (not a fake, like your Time Cover), of yourself at Ground Zero.
He makes me sick!
@ragingbull alf Trump and Kush love those Saudi investment and loan dollars.
ragingbull alf . 15:10 @ USA Government was ready months for 911. Afghanistan war and assassination of the northern Lions leader all in the same game.
Trump should go back to where he came from, the sewers of New York City where all the rats live. The sewers in the city called and they would like their King Rat back.
Lol, Actually NYC hates his guts he should go to Russia since he’s Putin’s btch.
Rats actually help medical research that benefit humans and other animals. Trump should go back to the roach infested landfills where he and his family belongs: trash.
@Common Sense A Super Power hire cru. To catch rats! Like we the people just became smart in doing ! Were are after the RATS!😆😆😆😆😆
I remember the bloody face of Elijah Cummings after being beaten during one of Martin Luther King’s non-violent marches. He was a true American patriot then and is a true American statesman now. Trump never has been fit to shine his shoes. I’m so sorry that enough people in Trump’s “base” were desperate enough to be hood-winked by the likes of a con like Trump, but it’s time to come back to the real world now. If Trump says it, assume it’s a lie before you check the facts.
Amen
Heck tRump isn’t qualified enough to walk dogs let alone shine shoes! You know what DJTurd would be qualified for? Federal or state prison!
At this point in Trump’s term, I do assume everything he says is either a lie or evidence of his inability to comprehend basic information.
OH, DON’T WORRY, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I DO !!!! LOL
Yeah…and Eli is still living in 1965 and if he has his way we will still be living there in 2200!!
Trump really has exposed how corrupted the modern Republicans are and how they will do ANYTHING no matter how corrupt or treasonous to stay in power…
@Kaden E
If you don’t know the answer to that then u really haven’t been paying attention.
1) Trump was not liked by many republicans in power when he won the election, they like him more now, but back then they definitely did not
2) Congress people & politicians will band together to protect each other – Quietly, no matter which side. if they turned on each other it would be a feeding frenzy.
3) takes time to change people minds and get them on ur side.
4) Congress does business 3 months out of 24, the rest of the time they are campaigning and positioning themselves (with out actually doing anything) to get re-elected.
FYI, that last one is the reason nothing important ever gets done in congress, even in normal times.
@Armastat I’ve done EXTENSIVE research into this matter, thank you. I absolutely agree that nothing has been proved in the legal sense. I’m not acting as if Trump is guilty, and I didn’t say that. I said there is overwhelming evidence that the Russians influenced the election, and overwhelming evidence that Trump and his team tried to cover this up, as well as their involvement with the Russians. The many guilty pleas by Trump team members about lying to the FBI clearly demonstrate this.
FACTS SPOKEN EXCELLENTLY !!!!
It is disgusting how the Republican party is, vote Democratic in 2020
I love Nadler. He wouldn’t know a joke if it bit him in the keister, but he knows exactly what he is doing, and doesn’t pull ANY punches. Great interview and I’m excited to see what comes next.
@RLH CAT is a bot, ignore it
@Minerva Wow. How is that legal?
LIKE HAVING MUELLER TESTIFY?
@Andrew Bugbee how is what legal?
Stop following the distractions. Stay on Mueller’s damning testimony.
💻💔😠😋🤙
@Phenom AL vera747 is just another useful fool.
@Gary Lee Yes, Gary. Distract. Deflect. Look over there, ’cause there’s nothing to see here with Trump and his many crimes.
YES!!!!! EXACTLY!!!!
@BryanM61 What crime did Trump commit?
Be specific
Vote Trump out or live the next 4 years under dictator leadership.
More than 4 years. Once we are a full Fascist Dictatorship, others will line up to be the next Dictator.
Time for Baltimore to finally crack down and prosecute and seize assets of Jared and his Kushner family of slumlords in the city!!!
YOU SAID IT !!!!
Do it, Baltimore. Seize those slum buildings from Kushner, charge HIS companies for their made up fantasy fines against low income renters, and run the rats out of town!
Trump, a first responder? Is there nothing that the man won’t lie shamefully about?
So he will get free healthcare now?
Anthony Butler ikr UNREAL the depths he’ll go to trying to appear like a great person.
Why do you have a social security number if you hate socialism?
Moscow Mitch & Treasonous Traitor Trump should be Impeached together!
Pamela Owen I completely agree! I find it strange that they are letting McConnell off the hook when he is aiding and abetting foreign election meddling by doing everything in his power to NOT do anything about it. As long as Trump’s reelection is secured, Mitch McConnell does not care who meddles in the election. Treasonous behaviour! 😤
Agree
