“This is the night when my house might burn down,” Lawrence O’Donnell said on MSNBC tonight. “It is being threatened by fire now in a way that wasn’t possible even yesterday or earlier today that we did not know about.”
“This situation really is happening in a way that we have never seen before,” O’Donnell said.
When he delivered his remarks on his show, O’Donnell said he had no idea what is happening to his house or whether it is still standing — an experience he shares with everyone who had to evacuate.
But he also noted a luxury that many do not have: being able to monitor the situation in L.A. from the comfort of his second home in New York City, thousands of miles away.
“If you have a home in Los Angeles, if you have an apartment, if you have anything in Los Angeles now, you do not know anymore whether you’re going to see it again,” O’Donnell said.
