Joe Scarborough was off from Morning Joe on Thursday — but still managed to deliver a hot take that’s sure to get people talking in Washington and beyond. In a fiery post on X on Thursday, Scarborough sounded off about the blockbuster Washington Post report about President Donald Trump clashing at Camp David with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over what The Post characterized as “extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran.” Scarborough called it an “unforgivable blunder” compounded by Hegseth’s refusal to acknowledge the shortage. “When Hegseth attacks media questions on this extreme munitions shortage as “fake news,” he makes this unforgivable blunder worse,” Scarborough wrote. “Congress needs to take action. Americans need the truth. Hegseth can’t give it. He needs to go.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt flatly denied the story shortly after it was published Wednesday night. “I was at Camp David with President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. This literally never happened, and we told the Washington Post that repeatedly,” Leavitt wrote on X. “This B.S. story was shopped to many outlets by someone clearly out to disparage the Secretary, for whatever reason. Unfortunately for them, the President loves the Secretary and thinks he’s doing a tremendous job. FAKE NEWS!” Hegseth’s chief spokesman, Sean Parnell, echoed Leavitt’s denial. “We told the Washington Post the same thing,” Parnell wrote on X. “They ran with the fake, anonymously sourced BS anyway. Complete & total Fake News.” But those denials were complicated by a Truth Social post from President Trump shortly after midnight Thursday — in which he acknowledged there were “leakers” in his midst. “The U.S. has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types,” Trump wrote. “Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country’s history. The ‘leakers’ of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. Long term jail sentences will be sought!” ——The post ‘Unforgivable Blunder!’ Joe Scarborough Buries Pete Hegseth Over Reported Munitions Shortage — Says ‘He Needs to Go’ first appeared on Mediaite.

(John Locher/AP photo) President Donald Trump vowed to punish the “leakers” in a Washington Post report who claimed he blew his top at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over weapons shortages in the Iran war — but never contended the piece was “fake news.” The Post reported on Wednesday that Trump lost it on Hegseth at Camp David last week, demanding to know “why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran.” The report, citing two people familiar with the situation who spoke out anonymously in fear of retaliation, added that Trump “vented at Hegseth that he thought the munitions issue ‘had been fixed.'” Addressing the report on his Truth Social account after midnight on Thursday, Trump raged against the “leaker” who supplied The Post with the story, but there was no denial of the munition shortage claim in his tirade. “The U.S. has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types,” he said. “Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country’s history.” He ended with a grave threat: “The ‘leakers’ of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. Long term jail sentences will be sought!” Trump’s remarks came after strong denials of The Post report from the president’s communications team, including press secretary Karoline Leavitt and communication director Steven Cheung. Leavitt told the paper, “This is 100% fake news. Literally never happened. And President Trump has the utmost confidence in Secretary Hegseth.” She later posted to X: “I was at Camp David with President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. This literally never happened, and we told the Washington Post that repeatedly. This B.S. story was shopped to many outlets by someone clearly out to disparage the Secretary, for whatever reason. Unfortunately for them, the President loves the Secretary and thinks he’s doing a tremendous job. FAKE NEWS!” I was at Camp David with President Trump and Secretary Hegseth.

Newly minted Senate primary winner Abdul El-Sayed (D) didn’t mince words when asked which official in President Donald Trump’s administration he’d most like to question if he’s elected in November. El-Sayed, 41, fended off massive spending from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, and others to defeat Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in Tuesday’s primary and is now set to face off against Trump-backed Mike Rogers (R) for a chance to represent Michigan in the chamber. The progressive candidate — who has in the past used the title “doctor” even though he has no active license to practice medicine — said he’s eager for a chance to grill Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: KAITLAN COLLINS: You said before [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer doesn’t want to see me on the inside of the U.S. Senate. How did your call with Chuck Schumer go today? ABDUL EL-SAYED: Well, at this point, I’m the only Democrat standing to come to the inside of the U.S. Senate, and I think we had a good, meaningful, heart-to-heart conversation about what it takes to win in a state like Michigan and what needs to be done to defeat Mike Rogers. So I’m looking forward to partnering alongside him to win the Senate majority, to win back, to keep the state of Michigan, and to win back the gavel for Democrats so that we can start holding Donald Trump accountable. I can’t wait to sit across RFK Jr. and actually grill him. Dude uses big words he does not understand and I happen to go to medical school so I kind of understand them. It is going to be a good time holding him accountable for all of the grift that he has pushed on the American public. COLLINS: So that’s the, if you win, that’s the Trump official you most want to see testifying before you in the Senate. EL-SAYED: I think it’s the Trump official that most people would probably like to see me stand up against because look, I’m a guy with a doctorate in medicine and in public health. He’s a guy who takes his kids swimming in sh*t’s creek.

(Mediapunch/AP photo) Residents of New York City’s “Forgotten Borough” easily remembered how they feel about Mayor Zohran Mamdani, relentlessly booing the Democratic Socialist off stage at a police event, social media videos showed. Mamdani kept a smile plastered on his face throughout his brief appearance Tuesday at National Night Out in Midland Beach, Staten Island. With about 3,500 people and families on hand at the boardwalk for the 43rd annual event, where police departments nationwide gather with the community for family-oriented events, Mamdani energetically bounded up to the stage — even as a torrent of anger erupted from the crowd. Clips circulating on X and Instagram show the mayor speaking at a podium while those in the crowd yelled, “Booo!” “It’s a pleasure to be here,” Mamdani can be heard saying, as beefy NYPD officers appeared to hold back artist and activist Scott Lobaido, who rushed toward the stage to yell at the mayor, repeatedly pointing his finger at Hizzoner for emphasis before being ushered back. Another could be heard on the clip yelling: “Get out of here! Nobody wants you here!” Mamdani speaks for under a minute before shaking hands with several people on stage, smiling at the crowd one last time, and quickly leaving. The mayor has been a target of conservative ire since his November election, and has earned widespread criticism for his plans, including free NYC grocery stores and free buses. It was the second brush-off in a matter of days for Mamdani, who was also refused a chance to speak at a funeral for a fallen soldier. Lobaido was later rushed to the hospital in critical condition after going into cardiac arrest at the event, according to SI Live. The Staten Islander is notorious for his various art projects and stunts, including an arrest for blocking a speed camera on Staten Island with flowers; placing mock traffic signs with an image of President Donald Trump in silhouette around NYC; and doing a massive balloon release outside Trump’s trial in downtown New York as he faced accusations of paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels.The post WATCH: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Turns Tail and Runs After He’s Pummeled With Boos at Pro-Police Event first appeared on Mediaite.

AP Photo/Mike Stewart, File Sen. Jon Ossoff’s (D-GA) campaign found promotional material in an unusual source for a Democrat: conservative radio host Erick Erickson’s show. Ossoff has served in the U.S. Senate since winning a runoff special election, along with his colleague Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), on Jan. 5, 2021 — one day before the infamous attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump. Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics recently moved its Georgia Senate rating from Leans Democratic to Likely Democratic, noting that while Ossoff was “the only Democrat running for reelection in a state that Donald Trump carried in 2024,” it’s looking increasingly likely he’ll be able to successfully defend his seat. Ossoff is one of this election cycle’s top fundraisers, has over $42 million cash on hand, and has maintained a solid lead in the polls over his opponent, Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA). Collins has been a far less productive fundraiser and just emerged from a tough primary and runoff, further depleting his funds. Sabato’s analysis described the two Georgians as having “entered the general election in different financial universes.” The Republican nominee is also facing headwinds from two main sources: the abysmal polling numbers and the GOP, and a scandal involving white nationalist posts by his son-in-law. But it was good ol’ fashioned constituent services that weighed heavily in the analysis byErickson, a longtime Georgia resident and former Macon city council member. In a clip from Erickson’s show shared by the Ossoff campaign, the radio host describes how the senator has been effectively communicating with the Georgians he represents. Conservative radio host Erick Erickson on Senator Jon Ossoff: You talk to farmers in South Georgia, they can get him on the phone. They can get his staff on the phone. They can get help.

You talk to Republicans in Houston County — very Republican part of the state — they know they can reach out to Ossoff, and he doesn’t care that they’re Republican.

Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) on Wednesday, telling the senator his party is “doing nothing.” Kudlow has been on a bit of a tear lately, complaining to various Republican officials on his show that the GOP is not moving quickly enough to enact their agenda. Republicans control the upper chamber 53-47, but most pieces of legislation require 60 votes to overcome a procedural hurdle called cloture. However, bills involving mandatory federal spending may pass by a simple majority vote. This procedure – called reconciliation – can only be used once a year. On Wednesday’s edition of Kudlow, the host welcomed Tuberville and came out hot. “Mr. Tuberville, welcome, Sir, as always,” Kudlow began. “I want to ask you, the socialists are winning; they’re taking over the Democratic Party; the Republicans are doing nothing. I mean, you’ve got stuff out there – the polls are lousy. There’s an economic boom and no one seems to know about it. And today, you had this very important article showing that people are paying more in taxes; they’re spending more on tax payments than on food, clothing, and shelter. And the Senate, with all due respect, Senator Tuberville – you’re one of my favorites, as you know – but the U.S. Republican Senate ain’t doing a thing about it!” Tuberville, who is leaving the Senate and running for governor of Alabama, concurred. “I agree with you, Larry,” the senator said. “We’re getting ready to go on recess. You know, we’re only in two weeks in September. We’re off the whole month of October. I’m with you. We need to get the American people something before the election, or it’s not gonna be good. And that’s gonna have to be reconciliation.” A CNN poll released last week shows that 77% of Americans rate the economy as very or somewhat poor. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump dismissed such negative data, calling it “fake.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Fox’s Larry Kudlow Fumes at Senator Tuberville: ‘Republicans Are Doing Nothing’ and ‘The Polls Are Lousy’ first appeared on Mediaite.
