- ‘Just Discount All That’: GOP Senator Walks Back McConnell Conspiracy Remark
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) bluntly walked back his Monday claim that the photo of Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) office recently released of him recovering in the hospital might not be what it appeared. Johnson, who in the past has received criticism for pushing conspiracy theories and has been nicknamed “RonAnon” by critics, joined NewsNation on Tuesday and was asked to clarify his claim. “You know, Senator Graham’s sudden death and also Senator McConnell’s health mystery are leading to renewed calls for more transparency from Congress. You know, on Monday, you said that you’re not sure that the photo Senator Mitch McConnell shared of himself and his wife over the weekend in the hospital is even a new picture. What made you say that? I’m curious if you’ve gotten any more clarity on that, Congressman?” asked the anchor. “Well, a TV host was saying it was AI, and I just said, well, you know, I’d heard that maybe it wasn’t the most recent photo. Yeah, I have no idea. I mean, just discount all that,” Johnson said, taking back his claim in no uncertain terms. He added, “You know, from my standpoint, I wish Leader McConnell well. I hope he recovers, I hope he returns to the Senate, and can help support President Trump’s agenda.” Johnson made the remarks in question while on Monday’s episode of The Balance on Real America’s Voice. Host Eric Bolling asked about the photo, “I saw a picture that I’m not sure I believe is actually Mitch McConnell from the hospital after what I’ve heard and what I’ve seen,” Bolling said. “Do you believe Mitch McConnell is the one who said, ‘I’m ok. Here’s the picture of my wife, Elaine Chao and I’ in that hospital bed?” “Well, I just heard from some other source that was an older photo. So, I really don’t know. I haven’t talked to Mitch. I certainly wish he and his family well. I hope he can recover. It’s– listen. It’s sad to watch people age no matter who that person is,” Johnson replied, adding: I’ve served with Mitch McConnell for 16 years. Obviously, I’ve disagreed with him on a host of things, but I also know he loves this country. He loves. He loves the Senate. He reveres the Senate. And so, again, I do try and put the best construction on things. I try and look for the… [TheTopNews] Read More.27 mins ago - Elena Kagan Credits Lindsey Graham with Personal Question that ‘Sealed’ Her ...
Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan fondly recalled Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), including the infamous moment during her 2010 confirmation hearing when he asked the Jewish Kagan where she had spent Christmas Day. Kagan appeared with fellow justice Amy Coney Barrett on Capitol Hill Tuesday to testify about the need for increased security funding for the Supreme Court. But the liberal justice first offered her condolences on the sudden death of Graham, who died unexpectedly late Saturday at age 71 of what officials have said was an aortic dissection. Kagan made a point of remembering her confirmation hearing, during which Graham asked, “Where were you at on Christmas Day?” while discussing the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253 in 2009 by terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. “You know like all Jews, I was probably at a Chinese restaurant,” Kagan quipped with a straight face. “Great answer,” Graham replied as the room burst into laughter. Speaking Tuesday, Kagan offered “the entire court’s condolences” to Graham’s “family, his many friends and colleagues in the House, in the Senate and elsewhere” before continuing: It is not very often — well, I will just say that I didn’t get many Republican votes when I was confirmed to the Supreme Court. And that’s the usual state of things today, not many Republicans vote for the nominees of somebody selected by a Democratic president and not many Democrats do the same for someone selected by a Republican president. And one would not expect such a cross party, if you will, vote, certainly from somebody from a deep red or a deep blue state. And yet Senator Graham voted for me. And I vividly remember because he was a vivid person. The conversation that we had I his office prior to my hearing where he got to know me. It was a long conversation. He took the opportunity to get to know me. He questioned me with great seriousness and great knowledge about my record as solicitor general including particularly the various terrorism issues that that office had dealt with over the time I was solicitor general. And I still more vividly remember the conversations that we had at my hearing itself. In the last day or so, many people have talked about how funny Senator Graham was. I think Al Franken said he was the funniest man in the Senate. But — what… [TheTopNews] Read More.48 mins ago - ‘He Liked C*ck… And He Liked Killing’: Jennifer Welch Mocks Lindsey Graham...
Progressive podcaster Jennifer Welch accused Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) of being a closeted gay man and a bloodthirsty warmonger, right after the longtime conservative senator died at the age of 71. Welch and her co-host Angie “Pumps” Sullivan gleefully mocked Graham during the Monday episode of their I’ve Had It podcast. The two were cracking up at the final pictures of Graham showing him holding up a black drone during a trip to Ukraine last week — with both women saying it was a fitting sendoff for a man who was obsessed with the male genitalia. “He liked c*ck, as we all know. The worst kept secret in Washington, D.C., and he liked killing, you know, the biggest war hawk on the planet,” Welch said. “And there he is with a black c*ck that kills right before he dies.” “I mean, that could not be a better epitaph right there,” Sullivan added. (The photo Welch and Sullivan mocked) Welch said she received the news Graham died via a 4:00 a.m. text message from Don Lemon on Sunday. She said it was surprising because if anything, people were expecting the next senator to die would be Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Sullivan and Welch bashed Graham a bit more over the picture, with Sullivan saying it was easy to understand why the senator was so happy in the picture. Both felt it was more like an episode of Veep than a real thing that happened. Welch added, “he died after he was groping a penis, a black c*ck that was made for mass destruction. This is like exactly who he was.” And later in the show, Welch said sex workers are now going to be coming forward to talk about Graham. She said, “Apparently Lindsey dressed up in his red panties and did gay stuff at night, which we all knew.” Graham was unmarried and had no children when he died on Saturday. There have been no credible reports he was gay, and in 2018 he said, “To the extent that it matters, I’m not gay.” Watch above. Jason Cohen contributed to this report.

The incident occurred as Schumer was talking about President Donald Trump’s war in Iran. On C-SPAN’s broadcast, the sound of a fart could be clearly heard. “Now on Iran and the NDAA,” Schumer said before the fart. “When all the Trump administration can say about his disastrous war with Iran is that Vietnam was worse. A point Trump made yesterday, he reveals the scale of his failure. This is what Donald Trump said. The only thing he can say is Vietnam was worse. Oh my God! A war that killed close to 50,000 Americans, a war that lasted almost a decade, a war that ripped America apart.” Moments after the sound, Schumer appeared to confirm it was indeed a fart when he chuckled. The clip was first captured and posted online by The Blaze, and countless viewers poked fun at the senator. Conservative commentator Mark Kaye suggested the moment was a prime example of why term limits were needed for lawmakers.

- Elena Kagan Says ‘All 9 Justices’ Take Leaks at the Supreme Court ‘Extreme...There have been “additional leaks” at the Supreme Court since the unprecedented 2022 incident in which the court’s historic decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked to the press years before it became public, Justice Elena Kagan said. The court was ultimately unable to determine who gave the draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson, which overturned federal abortion protections, to Politico. On Tuesday, Kagan and fellow justice Amy Coney Barrett made a rare appearance on Capitol Hill to testify as to the need for additional security funds for the court. While Coney Barrett described in an emotional anecdote how physical security concerns had impacted her family, both justices addressed cybersecurity concerns. “The cybersecurity attacks have been up, you know, by magnitudes year after year,” Coney Barrett told Rep. Mike Cloud (R-TX). “AI is, and the rapid advancement of AI, is making that more and more possible. “We haven’t suffered the kind of paralyzing attacks that some of the lower courts have. But in seeing that, that has caused us to try to ramp up very quickly our cybersecurity protection. And so some of the funding that we’re seeking is for additional cyber security experts who can come in,” she said. Kagan concurred, noting: And there have been additional leaks over time, too, and this is something that all nine justices take extremely seriously because we can’t do our business, we can’t engage in confidential communications — which is the best way to operate, is to be fully open with one’s colleagues about one’s views. And if you think that those views are going to appear on the front page of a newspaper, you pull back, you don’t, you don’t have the kinds of conversations that I think the court really depends on to do great work. And so, you know, this is something that is, has frustrated all of us and that we’re continuing to make efforts to resolve.

- Trump Weighs In on FBI Investigating Lindsey Graham Death: ‘Wish He Took Bette...President Donald Trump dismissed an FBI investigation into the death of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday, saying that he wished the lawmaker “took better care of himself,” and that the bureau is “wasting their time”. Trump, speaking from the White House with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, was asked about a slew of topics from the war in Iran to his Thursday night address to the nation. At one point, a reporter asked, “Are you aware of why the FBI is looking into Senator Graham’s death? Have you gotten any updates on why they were at his home?” The question was in reference to FBI Director Kash Patel’s pledge to make “every necessary resource available.” Trump said he was unsure why the feds were investigating, because it was clear Graham “had a problem” in his genetics, and he wished the senator “took better care of himself” while he was alive. “His father had a very similar problem, as you know. It’s very unique,” Trump said. “At first, I heard it was clogged arteries. Because he did have clogged arteries. He had a problem with that. I wish he took better care of himself. I say, you can solve that problem. Trump also claimed that Graham also had a key symptom: back issues. “You can detect it by if you have a very bad back — that’s a sign,” Trump said. “That’s a bad sign. So if anybody has a bad back, it’s a pretty rough thing to think about, but that’s one of the primary signs. And he would tell me he had a bad back.” The president added that he’s aware of conspiracy theories surrounding Graham’s death, but in this case it appears no criminality is involved, concluding, “I think the FBI is wasting their time if they’re doing that.” Read Trump’s full response below: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I don’t know why, because I think he had a problem. His father had a very similar problem, as you know. It’s very unique. At first, I heard it was clogged arteries. Because he did have clogged arteries. He had a problem with that. I wish he took better care of himself. I say, you can solve that problem. But what happened is actually something that’s very hard to detect. It was not related to any blockage. It was a totally different thing. And supposedly, and I watched all… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
