- ‘His Churchill Moment’: Lindsey Graham Serves Up Wild Defense of Trump’s W...
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) compared President Donald Trump’s objective to deny Iran a nuclear weapon to Churchill’s campaign against Nazi Germany as he answered questions on NBC News’s Meet The Press on Sunday. Moderator Kristen Welker played video of Trump saying he did not think about Americans’ financial situations when considering how to respond to Iran. “Financial situation, I don’t think about anybody,” Trump told reporters last week. “I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.” Graham went to bat for Trump’s widely-panned comments. “That’s his Churchill moment,” Graham said. “When Churchill came into power, he promised blood, sweat, toil, heartache, until we deal with the Nazis who are an existential threat to the British way of life. And if Hitler had taken charge of the planet, it would have been the darkest hour in humanity.” Graham continued, “I believe Iran wants a nuclear weapon — they would use it as part of their religious agenda. They would destroy the Jewish state. They would eventually hold us hostage. [Trump’s] audience, the Iranian regime — do I worry about gas prices? Yes. But President Trump’s right: The biggest threat to stability in the world is a nuclear-armed Iran. and whatever price we have to pay, we will pay. What did Churchill say? ‘Whatever price we have to pay to beat Hitler, we will pay.’ Same with Iran.” Welker asked if was worth losing the midterms over dissatisfaction with the economy in order to achieve a non-nuclear Iran. “It’s worth losing my job,” Graham said. “If I had to give my job up to make sure Iran would never have a nuclear weapon, I would do it.” “Would you give up the House and the Senate?” Welker asked. “I would give up — politically, the most important thing I can do with the job I’ve been given is to protect the American people,” Graham said, continuing: Now, you don’t have to agree with me, but I’ve been this way for 20 years. I believe they’re religious Nazis in Iran. If they had a nuclear weapon, they would use it. They’ve been trying to get one, they’ve been cheating. Obama and Biden were jokes when it came to containing Iran. Trump is doing something people should have done a long time ago. But here’s the good news: gas prices will come down when you put… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Trump’s AG Tells Fox’s Bartiromo He Won’t Promise ‘Definitive Answer’ ...Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo that he’s “not going to promise there’s going to be a definitive answer” on whether the 2020 election was stolen — a comment which seems unlikely to endear him to President Donald Trump. In an interview on Sunday Morning Futures, Blanche — in response to a question from Bartiromo — did say “there’s a ton of evidence” to back Trump’s longstanding claims that the 2020 election was “rigged.” But he stopped short of saying he would be able to prove it. “The president says all the time that the election was rigged,” Bartiromo said. “What have you done about that? Do you have any evidence that the elections was rigged?” “Well, there’s a ton of evidence that the election was rigged,” Blanche replied. “That’s not something that DOJ needs to tell you about. There’s been evidence about that for many, many years. What I can tell you is that we have multiple investigations going on in Arizona, in Georgia — in Fulton County, Georgia. And that’s exactly what we’re looking at. By the way, this is very difficult because they’re very good. They’re very good at hiding misconduct, and hiding what they’re doing. And so that’s why we’re very focused on finding out whether the right people voted, whether people who were supposed to vote voted, whether there was one vote cast per voter. And that’s what we’re doing in multiple states.” “I assure the American people that as soon as we have something to say for it, whether it’s charges, whether it’s a report, whether it’s the results of an investigation, the American people will learn about what we uncovered. [00:01:53][68.7] Later in the interview, Bartiromo followed up by asking, “Do you believe there will be, at some point, a definitive answer to whether or not the 2020 election was stolen?” But Blanche wouldn’t commit. “I’m not going to promise there’s going to be a definitive answer,” Blanche said. “That wouldn’t be fair to you or anybody else, but we are looking at it and we’re hoping to get one.” Watch above, via Fox News.The post Trump’s AG Tells Fox’s Bartiromo He Won’t Promise ‘Definitive Answer’ on Whether 2020 Election Was ‘Rigged’— But Insists ‘There’s a Ton of Evidence’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘Vote the Bum Out!’ Trump Redoubles His Efforts to Take Out Massie — After...
With Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) having lost his primary on Saturday night, President Donald Trump set his sights squarely on another political enemy — Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). In posts to Truth Social late Saturday and early Sunday, the president went scorched earth on the Kentucky congressman ahead of his primary election on Tuesday. “Bad Congressman Tom Massie voted against Tax Cuts, the Border Wall, our Military and Law Enforcement,” Trump wrote Sunday morning. “Actually, he voted against almost everything that is good. The Worst Republican Congressman in History. Kentucky, vote the bum out on Tuesday. We can’t live with this troublemaker for another two years. He is a true negative force!!!” Trump has supported former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein in his effort to unseat Massie — a frequent Trump critic on issues including the Epstein files, the war in Iran and more. Polling is scant, but the few surveys which have been released show a very close race. “Tom Massie of Kentucky, the worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman in the history of our Country, is an even bigger insult to our Nation than Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who suffered an unprecedented loss tonight by not even being allowed to run in the Republican Primary,” Trump wrote late Saturday. “This is the first time such a thing has ever happened to a sitting U.S. Senator! That’s what you get by voting to Impeach an innocent man, especially one who made it possible for Cassidy’s Senate win. Very disloyal, but Tom Massie, a major Sleazebag, is even worse! Kentucky, get this LOSER out of politics in Tuesday’s Election. He is nicknamed Rand Paul Jr., another real ‘beauty,’ because of his absolutely terrible voting habits. Vote for Ed Gallrein, a successful Kentucky farmer, and American War Hero, who only ran because he thought that Massie was so disloyal and disrespectful to your President, ME!” ——The post ‘Vote the Bum Out!’ Trump Redoubles His Efforts to Take Out Massie — After Successfully Vanquishing Cassidy first appeared on Mediaite.

The caller, who identified as Thomas from Hawaii, told host Taylor Popielarz that he now regrets his votes for Trump. “It’s hard for me to say this,” Thomas said. “But I think if I can open up about it in public that it might help others. I wanted to believe Trump was the real deal for a long time — even though I had doubts because I knew enough about his business history to think otherwise. But now I regret my support for him, and I should’ve known better. He’s making it plain as day. He’s a con man, a liar, doesn’t keep his promises. He’s in office all for himself and he doesn’t even try to hide his corruption anymore.” Thomas added, “He’s the worst president we’ve ever had and he’s the most corrupt president we’ve ever had. I know it’s hard, it took me a while to be able to say that. Very difficult when you commit yourself to believing in somebody. Popielarz asked Thomas whether he’d voted for Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024 — and Thomas confirmed that he had. The host followed up by asking what was “the straw that broke the camel’s back” for Thomas. “I don’t think it’s one thing, it’s been a cumulative process,” Thomas said. “And it’s gotten so blatant now…He was gonna lower prices on day one, he was gonna do this on day one, only he could fix all this stuff. And now I understand how somebody like Adolf Hitler was able to brainwash millions of people. I never I thought I’d see that again in my lifetime. But it’s happened, right? I thought we got past that, but we don’t learn from history.” Watch above, via CSPAN Networks.The post Three-Time Trump Voter Delivers Blistering Takedown of President in Stunning CSPAN Call: Now I See How Hitler ‘Was Able to Brainwash Millions’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Trump Gets a Spooky Visit from Jeffrey Epstein’s Ghost in Wild SNL Open Featur...SNL wrapped up its 51st season on Saturday night — with famed alum Will Ferrell dropping by to play the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein in a rollicking cold open. Epstein paid a visit to the Oval Office where he caught up with his “best friend” President Donald Trump (played by James Austin Johnson). “How you doing, Donny Baby?” Epstein said. “Not so good, Jeffie,” Trump replied. “My approval rating’s in the 30s. “The 30s? Gross,” Epstein shot back. “Call me when it hits 17!” Epstein proceeded to show Trump “visions of the future” — which purported to show what former and current Trump officials will be up to in six months’ time. Former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was shown hawking vacuum cleaners on the Home Shopping Network. “For only $129.99, it’s the best way to clean up that mess your dog made… besides a gun,” said Noem — as portrayed by Ashley Padilla. “And it can even handle balloon scraps left over from when your husband’s giant balloon breasts pop.” Aziz Ansari returned as FBI Director Kash Patel — chugging down from a massive beer bong and cohosting a podcast with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. “Shoutout to our sponsor, my own personal line of cologne — Incompetence for Men,” Patel said. “Every bottle is full of my forehead sweat from my many Senate grillings.” Hegseth, played by Colin Jost, proceeded to read a commercial of his own — commanding his audience to pay attention. “Listen up, buttwads!” Hegseth said. “If Pete’s podcasting, I guess that means that the war in Iran is over,” Trump said. “Yep,” Epstein’s ghost replied. “We came in second.” Trump and Epstein closed out the sketch by singing “Just the Two of Us” — a duet which Ferrell’s Epstein set up by waxing poetic about the pair’s friendship. “Donny, just remember, no matter how many wars you start, or how bad you tank the economy as a distraction, people will always associate you with me,” Epstein said. “And that, my dear close friend, that is a beautiful thing.” ——The post Trump Gets a Spooky Visit from Jeffrey Epstein’s Ghost in Wild SNL Open Featuring Will Ferrell first appeared on Mediaite.

- GOP Senator Shades Trump After Losing His Primary Bid to Rival Backed By the Pre...Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) — after losing his primary election Saturday night — took a few veiled swipes at President Donald Trump, who endorsed his opponent. In his concession speech after failing to qualify for a June runoff in the race, Cassidy voiced his disappointment but accepted the outcome — and called out others who don’t handle election defeats the same way. “When you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to,” the senator said. “But you don’t pout. You don’t whine. You don’t claim the election was stolen.” That remark was met with cheers from the audience at Cassidy’s Baton Rouge election night headquarters. And the senator wasn’t done going after the president. “I’m also asked if I am bothered by being attacked on the internet,” Cassidy said. Insults only bother me if they come from somebody of character and integrity. And I find that people of character and integrity don’t spent their time attacking people on the internet.” Trump regarded Cassidy as an enemy for voting to convict him in the Senate in 2021 for inciting an insurrection. The Louisiana Senator also pushed back on various Trump nominees. Notably, Cassidy — a licensed physician — expressed concern about the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, before ultimately voting to confirm him. Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA), who was endorsed by Trump, and state treasurer John Fleming finished ahead of Cassidy to advance to the June runoff. The president celebrated Cassidy’s defeat Saturday night — writing on Truth Social that Cassidy’s “political career is OVER!” But while the president may be excited about the long-term prospect of another Republican replacing Cassidy, the Louisiana senator’s defeat could complicate life for Trump in the short-term. In a chamber where Republicans hold a slim 53-47 majority Cassidy joins Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) as a Republican leaving office at the end of the term — making him presumably more likely to oppose Trump on various measures. With Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) facing his own tough primary battle, and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in a tight general election race against Democrat Graham Platner, the math in the senate could soon get very complicated for the president. Watch above.
