- Kevin McCarthy Calls Out Speaker Johnson for Sending Lawmakers Home: ‘Stop Rec...
Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy called out his immediate successor on Thursday, advising him to “stop recessing” the House of Representatives. On June 30, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) canceled votes and sent House members home early for a two-week holiday recess after a handful of Republicans revolted, preventing votes on key pieces of legislation because the bills had not undergone committee or floor action. McCarthy appeared on Thursday’s Hannity, where guest host Kellyanne Conway said Republicans are not doing enough ahead of November’s midterm elections. “It’s not enough to say, ‘They’re socialists. We’re not,'” she said. “We have to finish our sentences, and I’m worried that if we’re just pointing at the Democrats and saying, ‘You are socialists,’ we’re not taking advantage of saying who we are. So who are we?” McCarthy responded by saying Johnson should keep House members at the Capitol and Republicans should explain their policies to the public. “The thing that you have to have, you have the majority in the House right now,” McCarthy said. “Stop recessing. Show the American public what you are by passing the legislation that you believe in. You can’t sit back and say, ‘The Democrats are socialists, and they can’t do it.’ You’ve got to show them what you’re able to achieve. Lay out that agenda that you’re able to do. Yes, you secured the border. Take that, but make sure you’re lowering the prices, you’re lowering the fuel costs, and also that you’re making our streets safe again. Pass the legislation day in and day out between now and the election, and show them what you believe in.” Johnson ascended to the speakership after McCarthy was ousted from the position in 2023.

Per the report, agents believed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving a white van carrying one of two Guatemalan nationals they were investigating. But the suspected target was actually not inside the vehicle. The encounter unfolded Tuesday morning after federal agents attempted to stop Araujo’s van. The situation quickly escalated, and an agent shot Araujo in the abdomen. He later died at a hospital. The Department of Homeland Security has maintained that Araujo tried to use the van as a weapon against officers before the shooting. However, the Times reported that no publicly available video or other evidence has emerged to corroborate that claim. A DHS spokeswoman told the newspaper that agents had previously conducted surveillance at an address connected to one of the investigation’s targets, where they had observed two white vans. When agents returned on Tuesday, they spotted what they believed was one of those vehicles with “an individual who resembled the target” and initiated the stop. The Times also reported that the agents involved were not wearing body cameras. DHS’s inspector general is investigating the shooting, while the FBI’s Houston field office said it is examining what authorities have described as an assault on a federal law enforcement officer. On Thursday, Araujo’s son, Ronaldo Salgado, joined CNN’s Erin Burnett on OutFront to emphasize that his father “was also in the process of obtaining a work permit” and that he knows his “dad would have stopped had ICE agents formally and clearly identified themselves.” Juan Proaño, League of United Latin American Citizens CEO and a fellow CNN guest, also made clear on Thursday that despite ICE having successfully identified Araujo on-scene after the shooting, he was still checked into the hospital as “John Doe,” and his family has not yet been reunited with his body. Additionally, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday about Araujo’s case, “We made the decision — obviously, we will maintain diplomatic relations — to file a formal complaint with both state and federal prosecutors in the United States against whoever is found responsible for what we consider to be homicides or, in other cases, for human rights violations.” Watch Ronaldo Salgado’s interview above via CNN.The post Federal Agents Fatally Shot Man After Mistakenly… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago

- Fox News Host Accuses Democrat of ‘Indoctrinating’ Young Kids by Telling The...Fox News’s Charlie Hurt accused Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of instilling communist values in children by talking to them about sharing. El-Sayed is a former public health official in Michigan and holds an M.D. from Oxford University, but he did not pursue a medical degree. The success of his campaign has shocked Democratic Party establishment figures, as several polls show him leading Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary by somewhere between two and nine points. El-Sayed’s campaign has drawn strong support from progressives, and he has been compared to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdnai, a democratic socialist. El-Sayed and Stevens will square off in the primary on Aug. 4. Hurt guest-hosted Thursday’s Jesse Watters Primetime and took aim at “ranks of commie radicals” surging in Democratic primaries across the country in recent weeks, stating that they are “positioning for their takeover.” “This commie doc without a medical license is running for Senate in Michigan, and he’s already hard at work indoctrinating your kids,” Hurt added, before teeing up Exhibit A – an ad featuring El-Sayed talking to young schoolchildren: EL-SAYED: My whole name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. […] CHILD: Are you a doctor? EL-SAYED: Am I a doctor? It depends on who you talk to on the internet. […] CHILD: Billionaires don’t wanna spend more because they might be greedy and they weren’t raised well. EL-SAYED: I think it’s important that if you have something, that you share. Imagine you guys had a billion cupcakes. Imagine that. Can you imagine a billion cupcakes? Do you think you could eat all billion by yourself? CHILDREN: No. EL-SAYED: It would give you a really bad stomach ache, right? The clip ended, and Hurt gave a disapproving look before moving on.
