South Carolina Senate candidate Alvin Greene was on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show last night, and the results were as awkward as we’ve come to expect from the surprise Democratic nominee facing Jim DeMint.
Sample dialogue:
O’Donnell: “There’s a first question that all Senate candidates have to answer this year, and that is, of course, are you a witch?”
Greene: “No, first I want to remind everyone that DeMint started the recession.”
O’Donnell also asked Greene how he got his high school nickname, “Turtle,” to which Greene responded, simply, “no.”
He seemed to win over O’Donnell though, who said at the end: “I don’t think Jim DeMint personally started the recession, but I do think Alvin Greene — still better than Jim DeMint.”
Here’s the video. Greene comes on a little bit after the 1:10 mark:
