4Chan User Claims to Be Behind MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Hoax

A 4Chan user has taken credit for the hoax which lead to MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell issuing an apology on air on Wednesday evening.

O’Donnell had reported, based on one single source, that Russian oligarchs had co-signed Donald Trump’s loans from Deutsche Bank in 1998, which was a lie.

“Deutsche Bank is in possession of loan documents that show Donald Trump has obtained loans with co-signers and that he would not have been able to obtain those loans without co-signers,” O’Donnell had said, adding, “The source close to Deutsche Bank says that the co-signers of Donald Trump’s Deutsche Bank loans are Russian billionaires close to Vladimir Putin.”

In a 4Chan post claiming credit for the hoax, an anonymous user wrote, “here to claim my prize. It’s easy to send an annoymous tip to a a trump hating new organization and watch them report it with no fact checking. I send the attached email to Lawrence O’Donnell yesterday and he reported it!!! I didn’t think it would work but the bait was too juicy. Now he is disgraced and discredited. All nbc email addresses are first.last@nbcuni.com. They are begging for tips so I sent one!!,” they added, “Hi Ben Collins! Hi Hilary!”

FR is the gold source.

Rarely credited, but the powerhouse behind today’s conservative movement.

Lawrence O’Donnell IS a hoax.

You need co-signers if you you are a Starbucks Barista, have $200,000 in school loans for a degree in Modern Dance Theory and want to buy a used Hyundai.

If you are a real estate developer, the real estate development is the collateral.

Our domestic enemies are campaigning HARD for Trump’s re-election.

***********

You are right — they are OUR enemies. They go after Trump, but underneath it all it is US they really hate.

I worked around liberals for many years. They absolutely detest conservatives.

[Starboard]

FR is the...powerhouse behind today’s conservative movement.

************

Yeah, someone has to be the force behind the movement because we know that it certainly isn’t the Republican Party! They don’t stand for anything.

What’s so special about this particular hoax? The media seems like it’s in a competition to manufacture the most absurd and ridiculous accusations against the president.

[“...Lamestream Media...”]

Definitely an oldie but a goodie.

[Red Badger]

This is true. I have known a few, even in the Marine Corps, of all places, officers and enlisted.

It is fueled by their smugness and inflated self worth and their condescending attitude towards anyone they deem as beneath their notice......................

GOLDEN SHOWERS:

They can blab about Masterspy Steele as authoring it alllll they want, but the truth is...

That was originally a 4CHAN hoax *also*.

Yes, adolescent boys taking a basement video gaming break managed to sucker the esteemed, lettered, bearded journalists of the American Northeast, the ones most content about being smart, the ones who TALK about it all the time.

And it’s completely terrifying to them.

4chan —> Steele —> Clinton Machine —> Entire US Media Machine

[liberalh8ter]

LOL....even funnier!

[Sans-Culotte]

This is hilarious (if true, heh heh).

“Crazy Lawrence O’Donnell, who has been calling me wrong from even before I announced my run for the Presidency, even being previously forced by NBC to apologize, which he did while crying, for things he said about me & The Apprentice, was again forced to apologize, this time ... for the most ridiculous claim of all, that Russia, Russia, Russia, or Russian oligarchs, co-signed loan documents for me, a guarantee,” ... “Totally false, as is virtually everything else he, and much of the rest of the LameStream Media, has said about me for years. ALL APOLOGIZE!... “The totally inaccurate reporting by Lawrence O’Donnell, for which he has been forced by NBC to apologize, is NO DIFFERENT than the horrible, corrupt and fraudulent Fake News that I (and many millions of GREAT supporters) have had to put up with for years. So bad for the USA!”

I LOVE THIS PRESIDENT!.............Thank GOD ALMIGHTY HE WON!!!!!..................

This made me laugh out loud.
More than just a funny thing to image, it’s probably pretty close to the truth. What’s funny about it is that they can probably think circles around the bubble buffered baffoons but they’re busy calculating the shortest way to level up to the gold minigun on their console.

"Last night on this show, I discussed information that wasn't ready for reporting," O'Donnell said.

What a weaselly way of saying it was a lie....................

[Red Badger]

See Post #33..............

[VanDeKoik]

If nothing else it just grinds in the pie that MSDNC hit themselves with!
