- Senate Democrat Dodges When Confronted About Socialist Dem Calling Biden a ‘Ra...
A Senate Democrat dodged a tough question about a Socialist Democrat who just won a primary in New York and is all-but-certain to become a member of Congress in 2027. In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) ducked a query on Darializa Avila Chevalier — a Socialist Democrat who defeated powerful incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) on Tuesday in a Democratic primary in New York’s 13th congressional district. Chevalier, in a now-deleted social media post 2020, called former President Joe Biden a “rapist.” NBC’s Ryan Nobles, filling in for Kristen Welker, played an ad from the Espillat campaign which called out Chevalier for labeling Biden a rapist — and lobbed several other criticisms at her. “She won’t stand by Joe Biden,” the ad intoned. “She even called him a rapist. She won’t stand by veterans or the American flag. She stands with dividing us by race. Meet the real Darializa, the one she tried to delete.” “So to be clear, Senator, that was an attack ad from a fellow Democrat,” Nobles said coming out of the ad. “You’ve talked about this bigger tent. If you’re saying the Democratic Party needs a bigger tent, does that include someone who called a former Democratic President of the United States a rapist? Murphy waffled before evading the question entirely. “Yeah, well, I mean, I’m not super familiar with that race,” Murphy said. “All I’m saying is that this party has to have a real contest of ideas. And I just don’t think that our defense of incrementalism has worked. So I don’t mind a contest of ideas, and I just don’t know that we have had it to the extent that voters have been satisfied.” The senator went on to try to project a united front among Democrats against President Donald Trump. “Listen, it’s no secret, voters aren’t super happy with establishment Democrats or establishment Republicans these days,” Murphy said. “I will say, though, what binds together I think every Democratic candidate that is running, including the ones in New York, is that they are standing up to protect American democracy. And right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York. It is the President of the United States that is trying to destroy American democracy, and the Democratic Party, left, right,… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - ‘Is There a Question in That?’ DHS Sec Mullin Battles CNN’s Jake Tapper in...DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin battled CNN’s Jake Tapper, Sunday, over deportations of Haitians with temporary protected status. In a tense debate on CNN’s State of the Union, Tapper quizzed Mullin about the Supreme Court’s ruling which gave President Donald Trump’s administration the authority to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 330,000 immigrants from Haiti. “Will you be deporting all of them?” Tapper asked Mullin. “Will they be all deported back to their home countries, Haiti and Syria? And when will these deportations start? Will it be immediately?” “Well, Jake, first of all, Temporary Protected Status was never intended to be permanent,” Mullin said. “And there’s a lot of people that came over here 15, 20 years ago underneath TPS that’s already changed their status.The whole time these individuals have been here underneath the Temporary Protected Status, they could have applied for a visa. They could have applied for LPR. They could have applied for different directions. But the status itself can be ended in its name itself by saying temporary.” Tapper proceeded to question Mullin on whether it is truly safe to send those with TPS back to Haiti. “The Trump administration’s argument is that this was only supposed to last 18 months,” Tapper said. “My understanding of how the process works is, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security has the discretion to extend it if the U.S. State Department says that the countries that these people are from are still considered unsafe, which is why they were afforded TPS status to begin with. Is it the position of the Trump administration that Haiti is a safe country to send these people to?” “Well, we take a lot of things in consideration,” Mullin said. “Secretary Rubio, the president and I have had multiple conversations about this, obviously… The qualification isn’t quite just that simple. And keep in mind, a lot of these individuals haven’t been here 18 months. They have been here 18 years. Some of them have been here 20 years, 30 years. They have had plenty of time to reestablish their status inside the United States. They have just chose not to. Then there’s some that has been here the underneath the Biden administration that took advantage of an open border. And those individuals didn’t really come over here because they needed protective status. They came over here because they were… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago

Screenshot Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) erupted on a reporter for Fox News Digital and turned the camera on him in a truly wild confrontation. In a bizarre on-the-street clash in Washington, reporter Nicholas A. Ballasy — on assignment for Fox News Digital — went up to Massie and asked him about various allegations from a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend. The woman, Cynthia West — a former Massie staffer — recently claimed that Massie pressured her to sign an NDA, and that he bragged about having a sexual encounter with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) just weeks after his wife’s death. Ballasy kicked off the exchange by asking Massie if he could “clear up the stuff your ex is saying about you with the NDA. That you pressured her to sign an NDA for wrongful termination. Is that true, what she’s saying about you?” “Who are you with?” Massie asked. “Fox Digital,” Ballasy replied. “It’s all false,” the congressman said. Rep.

Is it because of the primary?” Ballasy asked — referring to the recent race in which Massie was defeated by Ed Gallrein. “When did you all become a tabloid?” Massie said. “Seriously, dude.” The congressman then pointed his phone at Ballasy and turned the tables on him. “So let me ask you, I heard that you like gay porn,” Massie said. “Is that true?” “I just want to give you a chance to give your side—” Ballasy replied. “I’m giving you a chance to give me your side,” Massie shot back. “I’m not gonna get into that!” Ballasy said. “Are you a real news organization or not?!” Massie said. “I’m not gonna get into that,” Ballasy repeated. The reporter then began walking away, but the congressman chased him down. “Come back, man!” Massie… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Trump Erupts on ‘Magot’ Haberman in Wild Late-Night Post: ‘She Continues t...
President Donald Trump trashed New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman — one of the co-authors of a blockbuster new book about his second term in office. In a Truth Social post early Sunday just after midnight, the president sounded off about the new book — Regime Change — which sold more than 150,000 copies on its first day. “Based on a very quick and boring briefing concerning the Magot Hagerman book about me, it is mostly made up, Fake News, largely fiction, as have been most of the things she has written about me for so many years,” Trump wrote. “She is a third rate writer and intellect, who has made a first rate income because of your favorite President, ME. She was wrong about me on the Elections, although she knew I was going to win, BIG! She was wrong about me on the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and she was wrong about me on just about everything else. But she continues to spew out garbage, and people continue to buy it.” Trump also denied that Haberman and co-author Jonathan Swan obtained audio recordings from inside the Situation Room — which reportedly has been a concern of White House aides. “And they don’t have the audio tapes that they imply they have,” Trump wrote. “Just another Margot Con Job! And Iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon!!” Haberman and Swan, across numerous interviews promoting their book, have not commented on whether or not they have Situation Room tapes — which, if they did, would be a stunning leak from a highly-secured space. But Swan told MS Now on Monday, “it is notable that there haven’t been denials of very specific scenes inside the Situation Room, which include extensive dialogue.” There have been dozens of splashy revelations from the book, which has been the talk of Washington for the past week. ——The post Trump Erupts on ‘Magot’ Haberman in Wild Late-Night Post: ‘She Continues to Spew Out Garbage’ first appeared on Mediaite.

In a roughly 45-second statement at the conclusion of the Big Weekend Show Saturday, host Johnny Joey Jones addressed claims made by O’Leary that Alliance for a Better Utah and Elevate Strategies — two groups which have opposed O’Leary’s Stratos Project data center development — were funded by the Chinese Communist Party. “Kevin O’Leary appeared as a guest on the show on May 24 and discussed the ongoing controversy surrounding his planned data center project in Utah,” Jones said. “He made certain claims relating to the opponents of his project. Mr. O’Leary has now corrected the record and explained he has ‘no evidence’ that the Alliance for a Better Utah, Josh Kantor or Taylor Knuth are funded by China or the Chinese communist party. Fox News Media is likewise aware of no evidence that they are funded by, or acting in the direction of, or in coordination with Chinese interests in opposing Mr. O’Leary’s project. Fox News Media also apologizes for the error.” The apology has aired across four shows on Fox News and Fox Business over the past four days. In addition to the Big Weekend Show, it was also aired on the Kayleigh McEnany-hosted Saturday in America — as well as the Maria Bartiromo-helmed Mornings with Maria and the Big Money Show on Fox Business. O’Leary himself walked back the claims on social media — though he stopped short of an apology. “Recently I appeared on various news programs and would like to clarify that I have no evidence that Alliance for a Better Utah, Elevate Strategies, Gabrielle Finlayson, Taylor Knuth or Josh Kanter are funded by China or the Chinese Communist Party,” O’Leary wrote. In the original comments, O’Leary made clear he believes the opposition to his project is coming directly from China. “Who would want us to stop building our electrical grid?” O’Leary said on the May 11 edition of Mornings with Maria. “Who would want to stop us from having compute capacity to develop AI? Which adversary would want that? There’s only one. It’s China.” Watch above, via Fox News.

- CNN Host Reminds Republican Lawmaker The Housing Bill Trump Refused To Sign Has ...CNN’s Omar Jimenez pressed Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) Saturday over why he was prioritizing President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act over the bipartisan housing bill that still awaits Trump’s signature. Trump is demanding that Senate Republicans pass the voter I.D. bill before he’ll sign any other legislation, including the housing bill. He reportedly told House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) last week that “nobody gives a f*ck about housing.” “You came out very strongly this week, calling out the Senate over the SAVE America Act, and you were one of 25 Republicans who signed a letter vowing to vote no on any Senate bills until this legislation is passed,” Jimenez began on CNN Newsroom. “You also voted no on the bipartisan housing bill as part of that. And I just wonder, is the SAVE Act worth putting aside something designed to directly help the American people when so many people are hurting right now?” “If you look at the polling, the overwhelming majority of the American people, 80% — whether they are an independent voter, a Democrat, or a Republican voter — they want voter I.D. in federal elections. I mean, this is just common sense,” Donalds said, before recounting all the places where it’s required to present photo I.D. “And the only people who don’t want to see it happen are congressional Democrats, because congressional Democrats do not want to make sure that we are protecting the franchise of voting for the American people,” Donalds added. “Quite frankly, I think that’s sick.” Jimenez argued, “But, congressman…it’s not just Democrats here on the housing side of things, for example. This was a bipartisan effort…The problem that that’s sort of working to solve or working to make better in your eyes — we don’t have evidence of widespread voter fraud proven through the courts. We have evidence that people are struggling to buy homes in this country and are struggling to make ends meet.” “I have to give credit to Gov. [Ron] DeSantis (R) in the Florida legislature, because Florida has passed its version of the SAVE America Act, making sure that if somebody goes to register to vote in our elections, they have to demonstrate proof that they are an American citizen before they even register,” Donalds said, adding, “And we have Democrat senators who don’t want to protect it because they want an ambivalent, wide-open system where you’re… [TheTopNews] Read More.17 hours ago
