- CNN’s Harry Enten Says Even Republicans View Trump’s Iran Deal as Failure
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten revealed Monday that most Republicans view President Donald Trump’s Iran deal as nothing more than a last-ditch effort to end the war. Days earlier, Trump announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran. Included in this 14-point agreement was a 60-day ceasefire, the unfreezing of Iranian assets, and the removal of sanctions on the country. Trump also committed to a $300 billion fund to help Iran rebuild after the war. The deal has proven to be extremely controversial, with many in agreement that it benefits Iran more than it does the U.S. Citing a recent CBS News/YouGov poll, Enten broke down how the majority of Americans — and even the majority of Republicans — viewed the deal as a failure for the U.S.: Look at this: 66% of Americans simply think he wanted to end the war. And even among Republicans, his own party, don’t think that, in fact, the Trump administration met its war goals. In fact, they think he wants to just end the war. So this idea, “Hey, we won, everyone! We won!” The American people don’t think that is exactly what happened. What they think happened was Iran was fighting back. America looked at their chance of victory, in terms of what Trump initially laid out as the chance of victory. They did not think that that was possibly going to be accomplished. We’re talking about two-thirds of Americans, and even a majority of Republicans did.

Homeland Security also has criminal referrals, dating back a year-and-a-half on Dr. Fauci. We also, my committee, the Oversight Committee, did investigation of the pardon that Joe Biden gave — all the pardons — and we concluded Joe Biden wasn’t at the table.” Comer continued: There were no meetings with Joe Biden. The Constitution’s clear, the president has sole authority to grant pardons, but there’s no evidence that, at the time, President Biden was even involved in the pardon process. They were signed by autopen, but there’s no evidence, and that was based on all the depositions we had with all the key people in the White House during the Biden administration. There’s no evidence Joe Biden participated in the decision-making on the pardon process. “So do you think that the pardon is legitimate if in fact it was done by the autopen?” Bartiromo asked. “Well, I don’t think it’s so much the autopen as it is the fact that there were never any meetings that Joe Biden had with his staff on these pardons,” Comer said, continuing: The only pardon that Joe Biden signed was for his son, Hunter Biden. But let’s take the autopen off the table. I know there’s a lot about the autopen. I don’t want that to be the defense. The defense is, there were never scheduled meetings on his calendar, there was not a single person involved in the pardon process, in the decision-making on who authorized the autopen who ever met with Joe Biden and discussed the individual pardons. So, there’s no evidence Joe Biden had any decision-making in the pardon process. “So, I think that alone is more than enough evidence to declare all the pardons issued by Joe Biden in last day of his presidency null and void,” Comer said.

RIGHT: John Cornyn (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) LEFT: Donald Trump (Mark Schiefelbein/AP photo) Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) unleashed on President Donald Trump in a new interview published in Semafor on Monday. Trump endorsed Cornyn’s controversial primary opponent, Ken Paxton, last month, helping to officially end Cornyn’s decades-long career as Paxton won the race and Cornyn will exit the Senate at the beginning of 2027. Cornyn spoke to Semafor’s Congressional Bureau Chief Burgess Everett and made clear he plans to use his last months in office to make a lasting impact and has no issue disrupting Trump’s agenda where he sees fit. Cornyn told Everett that conversations with Trump are not “particularly useful because he can and will change his mind depending on the next person he talks to on the phone. The president seems to revel in chaos, which is so different from any other leader that I’ve ever seen. I don’t know about you, but I like to minimize the chaos in my life.” “He just seems to revel in it. We’ve seen even recent evidence of it on the DNI,” Cornyn added, referring to Trump installing a loyalist with no intelligence experience to lead all of U.S. intel. Cornyn took a swipe at some of his GOP colleagues when discussing Trump’s more controversial appointments, arguing that some Senate Republicans have emboldened Trump to make outlandish picks. Everett reported that Cornyn “singled out” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), quoting the Texas Senator as saying Lee thinks “somehow we’re going to beat the opponents into submission.” “Well, I’ve worked here a long time. It doesn’t work that way,” Cornyn added. Cornyn, however, made clear to Semafor he’s not explicitly trying to attack or damage Trump and that he will be open to Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general – even if he is currently undecided. Everett reported Cornyn has some reservations about Blanche: Cornyn isn’t letting Blanche breeze out of committee, though. At their one-on-one meeting, he broached a tough subject: What Blanche would do if Trump asked him directly to break the law. Blanche replied that “‘I hesitate to answer the question, because I don’t want to suggest the president would ever ask me to do anything inappropriate,’” Cornyn recalled. “But he said if [Trump] did, and it was something that he felt like he could not in good conscience do, that he would resign.” Cornyn offered a larger warning… [TheTopNews] Read More.54 mins ago - How the ‘Hard Fork’ Hosts Bring Their Tech Podcast to a Live Audience

Morris Katz’s dodge came during an appearance on The Weekend: Primetime on Sunday night. “Can you say that there are not going to be more women with similar, unflattering accusations against Graham Platner?” Jordan asked Katz at one point. “What I can say is Graham Platner has addressed his past repeatedly — more than I’ve ever seen any candidate have to talk about their past-,” Katz said “Because he has a lot of problems, Morris!” Jordan fired right back, drawing some chuckles from the panel and Katz. The strategist continued by saying Platner has been talking “very honestly and openly about not being the world’s greatest boyfriend when he got home from war.” He also said Platner had problems with alcohol and going down “dark rabbit holes” on the internet. Katz then pivoted to complaining about the “frenzy” around Platner and how so many of his political opponents are fixated on digging up dirt. “But he gives them so much fodder,” Jordan said. “It just keeps coming and coming and coming.” Katz then danced around her question about what it would take for Platner to disqualify himself from serving in Congress. The interview comes after Platner’s campaign has been hit with several scandals. He infamously had a Nazi tattoo on his chest — which he later removed and denied knowing it was tied to Nazi Germany; a former girlfriend later contested his claim and told The New York Times he knew exactly what it was. There have been plenty of other unsavory headlines, like Platner’s campaign admitting he sexted a number of women who were not his wife. Platner ripped the “establishment media” for trying to tear apart his loving marriage in response. Platner also praised Nazi-allied soldiers in now-deleted Reddit posts and was accused of abusive behavior by ex-girlfriends in the aforementioned NYT report. Platner denied the accusations. Despite the baggage, Platner easily won the Maine Democratic primary last month. He will facef Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) in this November’s general election.
