On Tuesday night, inimitable Cher called MSNBC’s Final Words with Lawrence O’Donnell after she praised the host for raising funds on his behalf KIND (Kids In Need of Desks), a charity that provides school desks to Malawi students. O’Donnell and his viewers have helped raise $32,838,605 for KIND since 2010.
Cher admits to being a longtime viewer of Last words and praised the program’s “great” effort in raising money for Malawi students, for it Cher herself is also involved in a number of charitable activities, consists of Wild Liberation, an international charity that works to prevent the mistreatment of wild animals in captivity.
“I just feel like a freak because I’m a crazy MSNBC [viewer],” Cher told O’Donnell. “Sometimes I scream at you guys, other times I just say, ‘Oh, they’re so sweet’ and pat you on the head. Actually, if you’ve ever read any of my tweets, I’m politically insane and getting myself into a lot of trouble, but I don’t care.”
When O’Donnell asked her about the New Year after spending a “healthy presidency” year under Joe Biden, Cher replied, “I really wish the Democrats would just lean in and run around with their hair. I know it’s not a nice thing to do or a light thing to do, but it’s a waste of time, you and someone have to light a fire.”
Then, of course, the subject of former President Donald Trump comes up. O’Donnell wondered if Cher had ever crossed paths with anyone as obnoxious as Trump, a stubborn man accused of sexual harassment or assault by more than 20 women.
“Well, honey, I’ve run into some crap and some – just the worst, think of a bunch of adjectives – but I’ve never encountered one. whoever [like Trump]. They pale in comparison. You know, the people I know, they can’t even… he’s like a horse of a different color. ”
