Discussion for article #221236
It has to be serious if they were transported back to the US and Lawrence will be off the air for several weeks.
The article says that MSNBC is not saying where they were when it happened, and that’s probably the corporate line, but Alex Wagner said last night on the show that they were vacationing in the Virgin Islands. So not that far from the US, really.
I don’t know that it necessarily means they were seriously hurt if Lawrence will be off the air for several weeks; maybe his face is bruised and he needs time for it to be presentable again; maybe he has a broken jaw and won’t be able to talk for a while; hard to say.
Alex also said that they had had lots of inquiries from viewers about sending flowers; the hospital where he is does not accept flowers. But she said that the best thing viewers could do for O’Donnell instead was to contribute to his KIND fund.
