Lawrence O’Donnell laid into King Charles III after the latter announced he was stripping the royal titles from his younger brother, Prince Andrew — who is now known just as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
The MSNBC anchor scoffed at the so-called punishment during Thursday night’s broadcast, where he ripped into the British monarch for only “symbolically” distancing himself from his “deeply [Jeffrey] Epstein involved brother.”
“The truth is a name change is not punishment,” the newsman said. “If you offered Jeffrey Epstein the option of being arrested and sent to prison as a child rapist, or having to change his name, which do you think he would have chosen?”
He added: “And so, now the big punishment for Andrew is that no one in Britain will call him the ‘Duke of York’ or ‘His Royal Highness,’ which no sane person anywhere ever should have called him.
