A C-SPAN caller expressed major grievances with Rep. Mike Haridopolos (R-FL) during a Friday appearance on the network, asking why Republicans repeat President Donald Trump’s “crazy Fox News talking points.” The caller, identified as “Roger,” an independent from Lawrenceville, GA, said to Haridopolos, “I know you’re a smart guy — a former educator. Why do you guys continue to parrot Trump’s crazy Fox News talking points, when I know you have to know right from wrong? There’s just no way —” “Well, give us an example, Roger,” interjected C-SPAN’s Greta Brawner. “Give us a specific example.” Roger happily obliged, adding: For example, the 9% inflation under [former President Joe] Biden. You know that was COVID. Like, c’mon. Gas prices — presidents don’t affect gas prices unless they’re stupid enough to start a war in the Middle East, okay? So, Trump, Biden — neither one of ’em controlled it. It had to do with starting wars, and that’s why we’re dealing with these gas prices. And you know your own intelligence said there was no way they were close to a nuclear weapon, but yet you come on TV, and you say the same thing. And you guys only find a spine when you’re saying you’re gonna retire. C’mon! I know you have to know better. Brawner said, “Well, let’s get a response.” “Well, it’s always nice to have strong opinions,” responded Haridopolos. “They might not be backed up with facts, but I see he has some strong opinions. Uh, look, all I can say is gas prices went down dramatically because we’re producing more oil, we’re creating those new opportunities around the world. Venezuela is gonna help us in the long term. But the threat of Iran is real.” The congressman went on to say the conflict is a “short-term challenge, but it will be a long-term success for America and the world.” Watch the full clip above via C-SPAN.The post C-SPAN Caller Asks GOP Congressman Why Republicans ‘Parrot Trump’s Crazy Fox News Talking Points?’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Photo by Samuel Corum/Sipa USA via AP Images FBI Director Kash Patel refused to say who paid for a private luxury suite at a country music concert he attended with his girlfriend last year, according to a report by The New York Times about ongoing criticism of Patel’s travels and use of government resources. Last November, it was reported that Patel’s country singer girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, had been given a security detail made up of elite FBI agents previously assigned to a SWAT team with the FBI field office in Nashville. Patel has defended the security detail for Wilkins as necessary due to threats. This was an unprecedented move, as it was the first time a romantic partner of a high-ranking FBI official was given a full FBI protection detail while not residing with that official, and it came mere weeks after Patel faced criticism for reportedly using a $60 million FBI jet to travel to Penn State University in October to watch Wilkins perform. Before he took office, Patel had repeatedly bashed his predecessor, former FBI director Chris Wray, for “running around on private jets,” but he pushed back against the criticism for his travel as “noise from uninformed internet anarchists and the fake news.” A report Friday by The New York Times dug deeper into some of Patel’s recent travel, noting that “F.B.I. policy requires its directors to use government planes for all air travel, personal as well as professional,” but Patel would have been mandated to reimburse the federal government for his personal travel (at the cost of a coach trip). The FBI has said Patel has complied with the policy. However, the Times noted, questions have been raised about “side trips” Patel has taken, “including to V.I.P. suites for events, leisure activities or nights out with his girlfriend.” These outings included a “previously unreported trip” with Wilkins to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to see country music legend George Strait, with Chris Stapleton as the opening act. The couple traveled on “a Gulfstream V government jet and were spotted in a private suite” that a source who has booked that suite in the past told the Times costs between $35,000 and $50,000. An FBI employee “who happened to be at the concert” saw Patel and Wilkins, and three other people “with knowledge of their trip” confirmed it to the Times. The sources also said that the… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Trump Claims ‘Most’ Iranians Have Same First Name: ‘Muhammad Something’During an interview on Fox News’s Special Report that aired on Friday evening, President Donald Trump claimed that “most” Iranians have the same first name — “Muhammad something.” Speaking with Fox News’ Bret Baier about the capabilities of the U.S. Space Force amid the war with Iran, Trump said, “Space Force, which I created, has got cameras — nine different cameras — in space on that site,” referring to the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center, where much of Iran’s near-bomb-grade uranium is believed to have been stored. “We know everybody that moves there,” the president continued. “We can read the name of a person. If his name is Muhammad something — and most of ’em are Muhammad, you can guess about 50% right — we can read his name right on his tag from space. It’s the most amazing thing. Anybody that goes near that space, we have it tagged.” Trump went on: [The Iranians] haven’t done anything there. And if they did, we would hit them very hard. So, two days ago, in speaking to the Iranians, they told me, ‘It was hit so hard [by U.S. strikes]. They actually said, I must say, that there’s only two countries that could get it: us and China. They said us and China, that they don’t have the capability of getting it because it was so obliterated. The term I used was obliterated. The fake news said, ‘Oh, maybe somebody can get it.’ They actually said if they wanted to, they couldn’t. So, uh, that’s not good enough for me. I wanna get it. In the same interview with Baier, Trump also defended his statement from earlier this week, in which he made clear that he was not considering the financial woes of Americans in negotiations with Iran, insisting, “That’s a perfect statement, I’d make it again.” Watch the full clip above via Fox News.The post Trump Claims ‘Most’ Iranians Have Same First Name: ‘Muhammad Something’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Massie Claims His GOP Primary Battle Is About Whether ‘Israel Gets to Buy Seat...
(Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images) Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) spoke to veteran congressional reporter Pablo Manríquez on Friday while leaving to the U.S. Capitol to fly home to campaign in his hotly contested GOP primary. “Let’s do it! I’m walking to an airplane to rejoin the most expensive congressional race in U.S. history,” Massie said as Manríquez approached him for a Q&A. “Tell us about that,” Manríquez added. “Yeah, well, it’s a referendum, really, unfortunately. It’s turned into whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress. And what they found out is that my seat is really expensive. They probably, when this is over, will have spent $20 million and come up short,” Massie replied. Manríquez followed up, “Why is Israel the only country that gets to buy elections in the United States?” “Does any other country get to?” he added. Massie replied, “You know, I’ve never seen Great Britain, Australia, or even Germany play in our elections here in the United States, but Israel gets so much from the United States. It’s a one-sided relationship. They get us to be their proxies in wars that they want against their enemies. They give us military assistance. They gave us technology. They get our bombs. They get our tax dollars. I think it’s a very one-sided relationship. At least with NATO, we pretend that they would come to our aid someday if we needed it, and even that’s a ruse.” Massie: I’m walking to an airplane to rejoin the most expensive congressional race in U.S. history. It’s turned into a referendum on whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress. And what they found out is that my seat is really expensive. By the time this is over, they will… pic.twitter.com/GGO3rLiEE3 — Acyn (@Acyn) May 15, 2026 Massie, a long-time critic of Israel and foreign intervention, has also become a fierce critic of President Donald Trump following their break over the Big Beautiful Bill last year, and Trump is promoting a primary challenger to oust Massie. Massie’s opponent has also been targeted by Trump allies and GOP mega-donors like Miriam Adelson and Paul Singer, who support pro-Israel causes. In the latest poll, Massie is trailing Trump-backed Ed Gallrein 48 to 43 percent ahead of the May 19th primary vote. Massie’s race grabbed headlines earlier in the week when Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) son accosted Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY)… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
