MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell claimed US military personnel are more dangerous than illegal immigrants when it comes to domestic terrorism.
O'Donnell, 73, insisted on air Thursday that the US 'has suffered more deadly terrorism at the hands of American-born citizens who are veterans of the United States military than people who have crossed into this country at the southern border.'
'It is very clear from the evidence that if you want to worry about terrorism in this country, the United States Army is a much bigger problem than the southern border,' he said.
His remarks follow the deadly attack by ISIS-inspired US Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar in New Orleans and the Cybertruck suicide bombing by active-duty Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger in Las Vegas.
Both Livelsberger and Jabbar served at the same military base, Fort Bragg, and in Afghanistan, according to authorities.
O'Donnell also pointed to Army veteran Timothy McVeigh, who bombed a federal building in Oklahoma City in April 1995, killing 167 people.
'Timothy McVeigh parked a truck outside that building loaded with explosives in an act of homegrown American terrorism,' the host said.
'Timothy McVeigh's hatred of the American government was not tamed in any way by his service in the American military.'

Who is Lawrence O’Donnell? I clicked on the article thinking maybe I’d recognize him from a picture. He looks crazy, but definitely not familiar. I don’t think I’ll get riled up over a nobody.
