MSNBC’s Ali Velshi at the weekend debunked former President Donald Trump’s claim to “know nothing about” the right-wing Heritage Foundation’s so-called Project 2025, which is widely expected to form the basis of his agenda in a potential second term.
Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Trump on Friday claimed he had “no idea who is behind” the foundation’s playbook and described some of its proposals as “absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.”
Velshi began, “Now, from the get-go, we all know that wasn’t true, so we set out to debunk it, and honestly, I thought there might be a little more legwork involved in spelling out the web of connections between Donald Trump and Project 2025 but then I realized, all you have to do is look in the table of contents.”
The MSNBC anchor pointed out Trump’s links to the authors of many of the playbook’s chapters, many of whom were actually aides and officials in his first administration.
“I literally don’t have enough time to list every connection between Donald Trump and Project 2025,” said Velshi. “But I can absolutely confidently say that Donald Trump’s claim that he ‘knows nothing about Project 2025’ and has ‘no idea who is behind it’ is, how do we say it in Canada? Complete and utter B.S.”
