MSNBC hosts hail Alvin Bragg as 'the anointed one:' 'That's the right title, that's who this guy is'
The Manhattan district attorney who oversaw Trump’s hush money case was lavished with praise by hosts on MSNBC after the former president was found guilty Thursday.
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell recalled that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg had been dubbed “the anointed one” by the Harvard Crimson when he graduated in 1995 and said, “That’s the right title. That’s who this guy is.”
“The people of Manhattan who elected him, that’s what they saw. They saw somebody who is dedicated to doing this job and doing it flawlessly and so profoundly modestly,” he said. “In a country in the Trump era that desperately needs lessons in modesty, Alvin Bragg is that lesson.”
On Thursday, Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts against him in the New York trial surrounding falsifying business records. His legal team vows to challenge the verdict.
‘IT’S A MAJESTIC DAY:’ MSNBC GUEST GUSHES OVER TRUMP GUILTY VERDICT, CALLS IT ‘A DAY FOR CELEBRATION’
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell recalled that New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg had been dubbed “the anointed one” by the Harvard Crimson when he graduated from the university.
O’Donnell contrasted Trump and Bragg by juxtaposing “the story of these two kids who grew up in New York. One, maybe the most spoiled brat in the history of American spoiled brats, Donald Trump. Across the aisle from him is Alvin Bragg,” who grew up in Harlem on Strivers’ Row.
Fellow MSNBC host Rachel Maddow also heaped glowing praise on Bragg and the prosecutors for being “brave enough” to bring the case that convicted a former American president for the first time in history.

“You know, Lawrence, it is such a good point that in this moment, when it is remembered in history, yes, the crimes will be part of the history, the criminals will be part of the history, absolutely,” she said. “But the people who were brave enough to take this through the criminal justice system against all the threat that they had to face in order to do it, and against all of the odds and against the most powerful people in the country, some of the most powerful people in the world to do it.”

She then envisioned how the prosecutorial team would be immortalized as heroes in the future.
“Those are the people, a few generations from now – I don’t know that we will still have movies – but they will be the ones who will be having blockbuster holograms made about them,” she said.

GMC and their flagship Yukon brings all-around excellence with this week’s tester: the 2026 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate
This cousin to the Chevrolet Tahoe provides all of the space, comfort, style and luxury anyone could want.
In 2026, the GM brand worked wonders on their existing fleet and added nice trim levels to keep the competition always thinking about what they’re doing next.
Our Glacier White Tricoat tester was flawless and completely destroys the competition in the American Luxury market.
Known for its high MSRP and resale values, the Yukon Denali Ultimate has a base price of $103K and is powered by a 6.2L ECOTEC3 V8 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. With 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, our weeklong tester had a 8,400 pound towing capacity.
The Yukon Denali Ultimate had a slew of standard features including a 16.8-inch premium infotainment system, 24-inch wheels and a 15-inch head-up display. Upgrades include second-row captains seats, BOSE performance sound system with 22-speakers and Night Vision – all totaling an additional $7,090. Boasting a Woodland Mahogany interior, the Yukon Denali Ultimate is certainly classy for all consumers and exemplifies the American Luxury that GMC provides.
In Grasso’s Garage, the Flagship GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate is the real deal. It looks stellar, rides good, and has good values. Although pricey for most consumers, the usage in this category is second to none. I was able to fit six adults on our way to dinner and heard a ton of compliments on its comfort and style, in addition to its spaciousness.
The GMC Yukon has a long-lasting history in the fleet, and in my opinion, having the Denali Ultimate package added is just the way it has to be to experience its full offerings.
