- ‘Fauci Was All Over the Place!’ Fox Host Pushes Back as Stephen Miller Claim...
Fox News host Laura Ingraham pushed back on top White House political adviser Stephen Miller on Wednesday night as the latter claimed President Donald Trump spent much of 2020 “single-handedly” fighting a “corrupt” healthcare establishment. The interview Wednesday night came hours after Ingraham attended the tense Senate grilling of Dr. Anthony Fauci, and was seen behind him during the session as he pleaded the Fifth Amendment over 100 times. As Ingraham brought up the Fauci hearing, she asked Miller if Trump had any regrets about putting Fauci “center stage” during the Covid-19 pandemic. “If you remember in 2020, it was President Trump — sometimes alone, sometimes single-handedly — who was fighting the corrupt and broken healthcare establishment,” Miller said. “President Trump was the one who questioned the origins of Covid. President Trump is the one who questioned the need for requiring every single American to be tested over and over and over again. He’s the one who questioned whether we should require children and healthy adults to be subject to restrictions for an illness that primarily targets the elderly and the sick, and those were extremely specific conditions.” As Miller went on, Ingraham cut in, saying, “Yeah, but Stephen, Fauci was all over the place on television.” Miller brushed off the interjection, going on to claim that Trump “saved America from a Great Depression by fighting against those who wanted to shut down the schools and shut down our way of life.” Read the exchange below: LAURA INGRAHAM: Now Stephen, I want to move onto the news of the day, which was Anthony Fauci’s repeated taking of the Fifth Amendment, pleading the Fifth instead of answering basic questions about his handling of Covid, gain-of-function research, etc. Given what we know now that we have known private — his diary not private written on government computers, and so forth, does the president in your mind have any regrets about having put him centerstage as long as he did in the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic? STEPHEN MILLER: Well, I think it’s quite the opposite, Laura. If you remember in 2020, it was President Trump — sometimes alone, sometimes single-handedly — who was fighting the corrupt and broken healthcare establishment. President Trump was the one who questioned the origins of Covid. President Trump is the one who questioned the need for requiring every single American to be tested over and… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Kevin McCarthy Claims Enraged Nancy Pelosi Would ‘Yell’ at Republicans That ...Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) recounted to Fox News on Wednesday that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) used to “yell” at Republicans that they “shouldn’t be in the room.” McCarthy was speaking with Fox News’ Jesse Watters about a graphic titled “How Each Side Views the Other,” which claimed that a majority of conservatives see liberals as “children,” while a majority of liberals see conservatives as “savages.” “It is so true, and this is where they get the Trump syndrome,” McCarthy said, referencing what President Donald Trump has often called “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Of Pelosi, also a former Speaker of the House, McCarthy added, “It’s true of how they would treat us. Nancy Pelosi really felt this about us. Like, we shouldn’t be in the room; she would yell at me sometimes. And then, they would put magnetometers to try to deny us from entering, and you couldn’t co-author with us.” Magnetometers are commonly used at entry checkpoints to detect weapons, sensing changes in magnetic fields caused by a firearm’s metal parts. They were a major point of contention during the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots, after Trump was angry that the Secret Service made attendees pass through one to enter the rally space, wanting maximum attendance. McCarthy continued, “It was so outrageous that you couldn’t respect the other one, and this is the problem I have, where I think America has failed a little bit when it came to politics. We should be able to disagree with somebody without being disrespectful.” Citing the graphic referenced earlier, he said, “If you noticed in that, the Republicans respect the other side. They just thought you were children. We had hope that they would grow up one day. But they treated us and thought of us as monsters and murderers. How would you ever look to that person to be better?” Watch above via Fox News.The post Kevin McCarthy Claims Enraged Nancy Pelosi Would ‘Yell’ at Republicans That They ‘Shouldn’t Be in the Room’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- JUST IN: Senate Judiciary Committee Postpones Vote on Todd Blanche’s AG Nomina...
Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images The Senate Judiciary Committee will postpone the vote on Todd Blanche’s Attorney General nomination, originally scheduled for Thursday, after objections from several GOP senators on the committee remained unsatisfied. Blanche previously served as Deputy Attorney General during Pam Bondi’s tenure, and President Donald Trump appointed him to acting Attorney General after her ouster. Keeping the gig on a permanent basis, however, requires Senate confirmation, and Blanche has drawn notably vocal criticism, if not outright hostility, from thousands of former DOJ employees, former judges, attorneys, bar associations, and other legal advocacy groups — plus even some pointed public commentary from the Republican Senators who will decide his fate. Blanche’s role in the purported “settlement” of a complaint Trump and his family filed against the IRS is one of the main stumbling blocks for Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC), both of whom are leaving the Senate in January after losing a primary to a Trump-endorsed challenger and deciding to retire after clashing with the president and facing similar threats he would back a primary opponent, respectively. The settlement agreement shielded the Trumps from any liability for tax violations and created a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund” that was swiftly denounced as a “slush fund.” The Democrats on the committee are all voting against Blanche so he can only afford to lose one Republican senator to survive the committee vote and get a chance for a full Senate vote, giving both Cornyn and Tillis an individual veto power to block the nomination. On Wednesday, Cornyn told reporters he would only support Blanche’s nomination if the DOJ revised the settlement agreement in writing to make it clear the “anti-weaponization fund” was dead and to clarify that it was “not designed to provide prospective immunity from tax audits.” Later in the day, Cornyn cancelled a meeting he had with Blanche as his conditions about revising the IRS settlement had not been met. Also on Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) met with Cornyn and Tillis in the Texas Senator’s office to discuss Blanche’s nomination. CHUCK GRASSLEY and THOM TILLIS just arrived to Sen. Cornyn’s office to meet with him on the Blanche nom. Neither answered substantive questions about whether tomorrow’s Judiciary markup will be postponed. “Not if we have an agreement,” said Tillis. pic.twitter.com/QlLgQzdApb — Benjamin S.

Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Fox News on Wednesday that the COVID-19 vaccine was the “greatest government scandal of my lifetime,” adding, “These injections cause death.” His comments come just hours after Dr. Anthony Fauci was grilled by the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee following the publication of his Covid-era diary, which chronicled his close ties to media personalities during the pandemic and his growing comfort with his celebrity status. “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution,” Fauci said on Wednesday almost 100 times — as noted by The New York Times. Speaking with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, who also attended the hearing and stood in the audience after Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) asked those who faced backlash due to their beliefs on COVID to identify themselves, Johnson said, “Not one news outlet has covered this as news. I’ve been interviewed on shows like this,” here referencing Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle, “but not a newspaper or a major broadcast station’s covered our bombshell report.” Johnson’s “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals” was released in April. Calling his allegations “the greatest government scandal of my lifetime,” Johnson continued, “These injections cause death; they cause injury.” He went on to call for “our federal health agencies to admit that the vaccine or the injection injuries are real so that they can be treated.” Johnson is no stranger to making unfounded claims about vaccinations. In December, ProPublica reported that the senator planned to endorse an upcoming book that promotes chlorine dioxide — a chemical commonly used for disinfecting and bleaching — as a treatment for autism and a range of other serious illnesses, calling it “a gripping tale of corruption and courage that will open eyes and prompt serious questions.”The post Ron Johnson Wildly Claims COVID Vax Is ‘Greatest Government Scandal of My Lifetime’: ‘These Injections Cause Death’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Trump Fumed About Supreme Court’s Birthright Citizenship Ruling, But He Appear...
AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana President Donald Trump fumed about a recent Supreme Court ruling in a Truth Social post on Wednesday, but it looks like he let the deadline expire before filing an appeal. The legal issue was one of Trump’s executive orders from the first day of his second term that purported to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants or those who were in the country temporarily. Like many of his executive orders, this one was met with lawsuits, and in June, in the case of Trump v. Barbara, the Supreme Court held that the executive order violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s language, which did grant citizenship to those “born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” On Wednesday, the president complained about the Trump v. Barbara ruling and an earlier Supreme Court opinion knocking down his sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs. “Does anybody have any idea how much Money and Prestige the United States Supreme Court has cost our Nation with their negative Rulings on Birthright Citizenship and TARIFFS?” the president asked in a Truth Social post shortly after 6 p.m. ET. “The answer, TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!” Trump’s declarations that the court rulings cost the U.S. “prestige” and “trillions” of dollars are, like many of his claims, unverified, but also implausible. It’s tough to argue the U.S. loses prestige for continuing to do something (grant birthright citizenship) it has done for over a century-and-a-half — and many other countries do as well. The president has falsely claimed that the United States is the only country to grant birthright citizenship. CNN fact checker Daniel Dale has debunked this repeatedly, noting “[a]bout three dozen countries provide automatic citizenship to people born on their soil, including Canada, Mexico, and the majority of South American countries.” And even illegal immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year at the federal, state, and local levels; Americans who are citizens since birth will pay a large variety of taxes over the course of their lifetimes. The veracity of Trump’s social media rants aside, if the president is angry that the Supreme Court has ruled against him, he had the option to file a request for the nation’s highest court to reconsider its decision. Except, as Politico senior legal affairs reporter Josh Gerstein pointed out, the deadline to do so expired on Monday.

Saul Loeb/AP photo President Donald Trump has grown increasingly “exasperated” as the war in Iran stretches into its sixth month, with NBC News reporting exclusively on Wednesday that the president recently erupted at top national security officials amid deep divisions inside his administration over how to proceed. The report, citing a U.S. official and people familiar with the discussions, paints a picture of a divided White House. As one U.S. official put it, “After all this time, there is no unity.” Trump exploded during a meeting with top national security officials last week over a lack of progress in Iran, yelling expletives, according to NBC News. The report says administration officials remain divided over whether the priority should be stopping Iran’s nuclear program, protecting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, or degrading Tehran’s missile and drone arsenal. The same official warned the administration has “had a series of tactical victories,” but is “facing a strategic defeat without clear policy guidance or a decision about where this is going.” Another person close to Trump told NBC News that the president has become increasingly discouraged by Iran’s refusal to strike a deal. “The president is exasperated,” the ally said. “I don’t think he believed it was going to be this difficult to get the Iranians to agree to a deal. … There was not a real strategy for how long or what they should do to get to the endpoint.” “He did not intend this to be a long, drawn-out war,” the ally added. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt disputed the report’s account that Trump lost his temper, telling NBC News, “This is false. The president has a great team whom he trusts, and everyone on the team knows he’s the final decision-maker.” She added, “He is not going to stand by as they break the MOU, kill our soldiers and fire at our ships in the strait. So until that behavior changes, his behavior will not change… He’s locked and loaded to keep punishing Iran.”The post Trump ‘Exasperated’ as His Top Officials at Odds Over Iran War Strategy: Report first appeared on Mediaite.
