"Does Kelly wash his hands after shaking hands with his boss?"

Lawrence is to me the most magnificent man on political television. Last nite his opening was brilliant. He lambasted Kelly for turning his defense of Trump into the dehumanizing of a black congresswoman. If O 'Reilly was still on the air, we can imagine him mocking her hats.....which Lawrence told us she does to honor her Gram.

The best line I took away was "Does Kelly wash his hands after shaking hands with his boss?" Referring to those pussygrabbing hands.

and neither did my husband, for that matter.

Seems like more of a slam on women than Kelly or Trump.

I like Lawrence, but on occasion, he gets in over his skis -- This wouldn't be the first time.

Was he referring to the fact that Trump grabs women, or just the fact that Trump is general scum and hands should be washed after touching him?

If it is the former, then yes, the comment was not good.

It was clear, and, like him as I often do, it makes make me wonder if he doesn't have some issues of his own with women.

I do not like his comment at all in the context he used it.

All I knew about the whole Kelly/Wilson episode is what I read online, and none of it had pictures, so I didn't know the congresswoman was African American. Now it makes that much more sense to me that Trump and Kelly are showing her no respect.

However, Trump has said (in "The Art of the Deal&quot that he doesn't wash his hands after going to the bathroom because he thinks it gives him a psychological edge when shaking hands with someone with whom he is about to negotiate.
