The last word with Lawrence O'Donnell starts right now. Hi, Lawrence.

Hey, Jen. It is such an agonizing story for all of us who know Savannah. It has been just an awful

thing to even contemplate that this could possibly be happening to her and her family.

Yeah, it is, you know, I wanted to happen to anyone.

She is somebody who I worked with, as she was a journalist, and I worked in two different

White Houses.

She is smart and heard hitting and an incredible reporter and journalists and host, but she is also a

beautiful soul.

And it's just, it's heart wrenching to hear about it and watch her and her and her siblings there in that video.

Yeah, and the audience should know that the person in Savannah got through, the person you see on TV is the real person.

You all do really know her. That's, that's who she is. And this is just such a difficult

thing for us to all try to deal with. Absolutely. We're all thinking of her and praying for her.

I think everybody who's ever come in contact with her. Thanks, Jen.

Thanks, Lawrence.

Thank you.

When he was asked by the Daily Mail if he would apologize to Alex Pretty's family for calling

him an assassin who tried to murder federal agents.

And of course, J.D. Vance did not apologize.
