- ‘All I’m Thinking About Is Her Behind’: Greg Gutfeld’s AOC Punchline Fal...
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld tried his hand at a joke about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) “behind,” which bottomed out with his Five co-hosts. Gutfeld delivered his odd joke during a conversation among The Five co-hosts about Ocasio-Cortez’s accent at a Memphis rally for House candidate and Tennessee state Rep. Justin J. Pearson (D). They accused Ocasio-Cortez of breaking out a faux southern twang and heavy drawl during her speech. “We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind,” she said in the speech. “We cannot afford to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia behind, South Carolina behind.” Guest co-host Charlie Hurt said the incident helps prove Ocasio-Cortez is a “faker.” “I think that she is going to be the Democrat nominee because that’s where all of the energy is,” he offered up the prediction with which guest co-host Kennedy later disagreed. “And that’s exactly as far as she’ll get. She will not get any further because of exactly this because at the end of the day, she’s a faker.” Gutfeld later jumped in to deliver his punchline, with a particular focus on Ocasio-Cortez’s word choice instead of her hotly debated accent. “I think she’s an absolute genius,” he said sarcastically. “I want to read that quote again. I’m going to tell you why. Okay? ‘We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind, Kennedy behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia behind, South Carolina behind.’ She mentions behind six times, and all I’m thinking about is her behind.” His joke was met largely with silence and a seemingly forced courtesy chuckle or two in the background. Gutfeld paused momentarily, presumably for more laughter than he received, before he continued: Look, I don’t know what she believes in, so I looked it up. Apparently her issues are Green New Deal. Remember that? Medicare for all, affordable housing, economic justice, criminal justice reform. So, I wanted to look up debates where she debated these topics, as you said. She’s only appeared in town halls, which is usually curated, campaign events, Congressional hearings where she gets to pose the questions. But there’s never a point where anyone asks her about the data or the outcomes, like nobody asks her about the the Amazon thing or how would this work? No one has ever asked her like, “Okay, when you close the jails” — it’s a really simple question — ‘what happens to the criminals? What happens to the… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - House Republican Under Investigation for Alleged Sexual Harassment Gave Pink and...
Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) — already the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation for alleged sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment — gifted two of his young female staffers personalized handguns, according to a report by Axios. The Republican is a native of the Western North Carolina district he has represented in Congress since 2023. He previously made national headlines for gifting President Donald Trump a “French Fries Certification Pin” during a post-Hurricane Helene visit to his district — until selling off his holdings this month, Edwards owned multiple McDonald’s franchise locations — and for defeating his scandal-plagued predecessor, former Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), in the contentious 2022 GOP primary. Lately, however, it’s been Edwards’ turn to battle a series of scandals. In April, news broke that he was being investigated by the House Ethics Committee, and the reason why was revealed in May: his alleged behavior with some of his young female staffers. Edwards, 65, has been married to his wife Theresa Edwards since 1980. According to a report by Axios congressional reporter Kate Santaliz, sources said that at least two women in their 20s reported that Edwards “crossed professional boundaries and created an uncomfortable work environment.” The Axios report included details about a Las Vegas trip Edwards went on with one young woman after she left his office and a handwritten letter he allegedly wrote to her that called her an “amazing woman.” “Your kindness, encouragement, and light-heartedness have written a complex chapter in my heart that I will never stop reading,” the letter reportedly said. Santaliz had more details to report a week later about a young female staffer complaining that Edwards made her “uncomfortable” by showering her with gifts and extra attention, including having flowers delivered and reading a poem out loud to her in front of other staffers. The staffer said she was “worried about retaliation” from Edwards, sharing a text message exchange where the congressman had asked her out to dinner and she had turned him down. On Monday, Santaliz had still more to dish about the troubles in Edwards’ congressional office, reporting that in 2024, he gifted two young female staffers each with “a personalized handgun” while they worked in his office, citing “two sources with direct knowledge of the gifts.” One of the staffers got a “blue handgun engraved with her name”… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘We Have a Dictator Running This Country’: House Democrat Says Trump Isn’t...Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) claimed that the Trump administration has not been forthright with Congress regarding the cost of the Iran war in terms of money and soldiers who have been wounded. The U.S. bombed Iran for the 10th straight day on Monday after Iran strikes on Jordan killed two active-duty U.S. Army soldiers over the weekend. Another U.S. soldier was killed in Iraq while disposing of an Iranian drone. At least 17 U.S. soldiers have been killed since the war began. On Monday, The New York Times reported that over the past week and a half, Iran carried out three other strikes targeting the U.S. military in the Middle East. Dozens of soldiers were wounded and several helicopters were hit in the attacks, which the Department of Defense has not acknowledged. Appearing on Monday’s OutFront on CNN, Smith said members of Congress are not getting transparency about the war, either. The congressman accused President Donald Trump of being a “dictator” who views the conflict as a personal venture and therefore does not feel obligated to be frank with the public. His remarks took host Erin Burnett aback: BURNETT: Do you know the full extent of American injuries and do you know the full extent of equipment losses? SMITH: We don’t. We don’t. Look, we don’t because the Pentagon has not been transparent about that. I get reports from people who, they know a service member at a base in Jordan or Iraq, or someone saying, “Yeah, we heard there was an attack. There’s 20 or 30 people wounded.” Pentagon doesn’t say anything about it. We dig into it as The New York Times has, and you then find out. But look, this is, again, no transparency, as you said, no press, no conversation about this. We have a dictator running this country. We have never had a situation where we’ve been at war and the president has treated it as his own war, where he doesn’t have to share information with the American people or with Congress. I mean, this is a frightening situation. And, yeah, they have not been telling us what’s been happening in terms of lost equipment, in terms of the cost of the war, and certainly in terms of the service members who have been wounded. BURNETT: Can I just say something that I think is, I guess, is painfully obvious, but I feel like I have to… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Comedian Says Netflix Axed Her Trump Joke: ‘It’s Not Gonna Be in the Cut’Comedian Whitney Cummings revealed that Netflix cut her joke about President Donald Trump from its upcoming broadcast of the 27th Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, streaming July 21. This year’s event, which was taped live at the Kennedy Center on June 28, honors comedian and pundit Bill Maher. The prize is designed to recognize individuals who emulate novelist Mark Twain’s “fearless” observations on “society and personal folly,” according to the Kennedy Center’s webpage for the event. In an episode of her Good For You podcast from July 3, Cummings revealed she removed some Trump-related roasts from her set, which she performed during the ceremony, at the behest of employees at the Kennedy Center. “I was practicing my jokes, and people were like, ‘Yeah, we’ll get fired if you say that,'” she said. “And I’m like, that is the worst thing you can hear as a comic, it was kind of roast-y. … What a dork, I’m like, if he even watches this, he is such a dork. But I did cut a joke, and I feel the need to just say it: … ‘For Trump to put his name on the Kennedy Center, this is petty even for him, but Trump has always hated John F. Kennedy because the Kennedys had Marilyn Monroe killed before he had a chance to grab her by the p***y.'” Nonetheless, one Trump joke did make it into her set, and she performed it live during the ceremony. “I actually heard Trump may come tonight, but he couldn’t make it. He got caught in sex traffic,” she said, alluding to Trump’s former association and friendship with convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. But Netflix axed the joke from its upcoming special, Cummings revealed in her latest podcast episode on July 18. The joke was widely publicized in the media following the live event, but it would not make it into the broadcast. “Not only did I have to cut a joke in rehearsal, then the joke I did, I ended on, … it stayed in, and then they said, ‘We would like to cut it out,'” she said. She continued, “They said, ‘We need to cut it from the broadcast,’ and I’m like, ‘Well, it’s already out there. Who cares?’ And they’re like, ‘He will sue you.'” Cummings claimed she would have won the lawsuit as she did not accuse Trump of child sex trafficking in particular,… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Fox’s Brit Hume Says Trump ‘Promised To Keep Us Out of Endless Wars… And N...Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume said President Donald Trump put himself in a “tough spot” with the Iran war. The U.S. bombed Iran for the 10th consecutive night on Monday after Iran strikes on Jordan killed two active-duty U.S. Army soldiers over the weekend. Another U.S. soldier was killed in Iraq while disposing of an Iranian drone. At least 17 U.S. soldiers have been killed since Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched the war in February. The conflict has intensified this month after a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran fell apart, leading Iran to re-close the vital Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. to reimpose its blockade of Iranian vessels in the Gulf of Oman. The war has been broadly unpopular since the beginning, as polls have consistently shown a clear majority of Americans oppose it. Hume appeared on Monday’s Special Report on Fox News, where Bret Baier aired clips of Democrats criticizing Trump’s war. Baier asked how the war could impact Republicans in the midterm elections. “What do you make of that criticism – politically – and how much weight it carries as we get closer to November?” Baier inquired. Hume responded: Well, I think it points to something that’s part of what the president is facing here, Bret. And that is that some of things that he might need to do to get the strait open, for example, and perhaps even to accomplish other ends in dealing with Tehran, may be militarily feasible, but politically they are very difficult. I mean, we’re seeing some casualties now. Now, in military terms, these are not large casualties, but nonetheless they are politically very important and very sensitive matters as they always have been. And in today’s war, of course, the rule seems to be “No ground troops” because that is, of course, another source of casualties. So, I think the president’s in kind of a tough spot here in that sense. And he promised to keep us out of endless wars or unsatisfactory wars, and now he’s in one, and it’s not at all clear how it’s gonna end. So, he’s vulnerable on this point, and in political terms, he does need to get this over with. But what he may need his time, and he doesn’t have a lot of time.

- Sources Tell CNN Trump Isn’t Expected to Get Involved in Tate Brothers’ Extr...Manosphere influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate may not get the support from President Donald Trump they’re hoping for, as the brothers face extradition to the United Kingdom on dozens of counts of sex crimes, including alleged rape, human trafficking, and child pornography. The brothers say they’re innocent and are vowing to fight extradition. The Tates were arrested by U.S. Marshals in Miami over the weekend, as the U.K.’s Crown Prosecution Service said it was adding additional sex crime charges to the original 21 the brothers faced, bringing the total number to 59. CNN’s Randi Kaye reported Monday that the brothers may be counting on Trump to intervene, now that they’re back in the U.S. from Romania, where the government there lifted travel restrictions against them for similar charges. “The Tates are outspoken supporters of President Donald Trump, and hold plenty of sway in the manosphere,” Kaye said. “Just two weeks before they were allowed to leave Romania, Andrew Tate posted this: ‘The Tates will be free. Trump is the president. The good old days are back.'” Kaye continued, “The White House said the U.S. government played no direct role in bringing them to Florida. Romania’s foreign minister also said he wasn’t pressured. The Tates have repeatedly praised Trump and urged voters to support him, and some members of Trump’s family have shown support for the Tates. In 2023, Donald Trump Jr. tweeted about Andrew Tate’s house arrest in Romania, calling it ‘absolute insanity.'” “The court hearing today lasted just seven minutes,” Kaye said. “No cameras allowed because it is federal court. The Tate brothers will remain in custody at least until their lawyers meet again on Monday. Their lawyer says that they’ve already spent days in solitary confinement.” “Now the extradition process itself can take months, depending on what challenges are brought, so we’ll have to see how long that lasts,” Kaye said, adding, “It’s also worth noting…that two sources familiar with all of this are telling CNN that as of now, President Trump is not expected to get involved with the Tate brothers’ extradition case.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post Sources Tell CNN Trump Isn’t Expected to Get Involved in Tate Brothers’ Extradition — Despite His Past Support first appeared on Mediaite.
