(Photo Credit: CNN) CNN star Kaitlan Collins said President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” base doesn’t realize he “seeks validation” from the same mainstream media outlets he and MAGA all deride as “fake news.” Collins gave her take on Trump’s relationship with the press for a piece she did with Interview Magazine on Tuesday. “I do think he’s very much someone who is one way in front of the cameras and another when he’s off the record. He has always played the media game,” Collins said about Trump. “He used to impersonate someone and call in and speak positively about himself. I think his base doesn’t always realize he seeks validation from the same mainstream media they all trash.” She then told her interviewer, The New York Times White House correspondent Shawn McCreesh, that should be obvious if you look at who he speaks to. “Look at who he’s calling about the war. He’s calling mainstream reporters,” Collins said. McCreesh then asked, “Do you think he’s back to his old insecurities about the coverage?” Collins answered: I think he’s always felt the same about coverage, and I think there’s a reason he calls reporters or answers their calls. He really believes he’s his own best spokesperson. The other day he joked—and I say joked because he kind of laughed, but I’m still not sure—about why he gets such bad press coverage. He said, “Maybe it’s because of my people.” Every press secretary he’s ever had, from Kayleigh McEnany and Sarah [Huckabee] Sanders to Sean Spicer and Stephanie Grisham, has dealt with this. There is always the risk he’ll say something that undermines what they’ve said. The Interview story ran a week after Trump went scorched earth on Collins at the White House on live TV. “[Collins] never smiles. You never-, she’s a young, beautiful woman. Never smiles, I never see a smile off her face, I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes,” Trump said. “She has hatred because we have borders, because we have a strong military, because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted.” The Interview interview happened on April 22, so McCreesh did not get her reaction to that wild moment. She did reference another time Trump bashed her for not smiling enough earlier this year. “I remember looking at the Republican lawmakers who were in the room… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - ‘ICE Is Not Welcome!’ Knicks Superfan Spike Lee Demands ICE Steer Clear of P...
Acclaimed filmmaker and New York Knicks superfan Spike Lee wants ICE agents to steer clear of the team’s championship parade if it manages to win the NBA Finals. The Knicks won the first two games of the series against the San Antonio Spurs. On Monday, the Knicks hosted the Spurs with a chance to take a commanding 3-0 lead. A win on Monday would have all but guaranteed a championship for New York, as no team has ever come back to win a best-of-seven series after trailing 3-0. The Spurs narrowly avoided that fate with a 115-111 win. Prior to Monday’s Game 3, Lee was already immensely confident that the Knicks were going to win it all. In a recent interview with Andscape’s Bill C. Rhoden, Lee began to paint a picture of what the parade would look like. “It’s going to be a love fest,” Lee said, “and people gonna be hugging and kissing each other. Total strangers. You know what? But we’re New Yorkers. That’s the bomb. I’m telling you, it’s going to happen. This is going to happen.” Later in the conversation, Lee claimed that NYPD would not be able to contain the chaos of the championship celebrations. He then added that ICE was not welcome if the city looked to bring in additional resources. “When we win, whether it’s home or away, there’s going to be such– it’s going to be bananas,” Lee said. “It’s going to be craziness. It’s going to be love. And NYPD can’t control that. The Marines, National Guard– just don’t bring in the motherf*cking ICE. No ICE. I’ve said this more than once. ICE is not welcome.”The post ‘ICE Is Not Welcome!’ Knicks Superfan Spike Lee Demands ICE Steer Clear of Parade If NY Wins NBA Finals first appeared on Mediaite.

On Monday night’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip hosted a panel that included Charles Blow, Caroline Sunshine, Ana Navarro, Hal Lambert, and L.Z. Granderson. Lambert — a top Trump donor — and Sunshine — a former senior Trump spokesperson — got into it over the Iran war, much to the amusement of the trio of liberal-leaning panelists. Navarro urged her colleagues to refrain from interrupting and “get some popcorn,” and Blow did a slow clap when Sunshine went in for the kill against Lambert: BLOW: But he did say no new wars over and over. LAMBERT: But he didn’t start this one. People say he started it. Look, Iran’s been at war with us for a long time and he did take out Soleimani. SUNSHINE: Iran’s been at war with us. How many U.S. citizens has Iran killed on U.S. soil? LAMBERT: Well, how many soldiers have they killed? SUNSHINE: And why were our soldiers in the Middle East to begin with? How many Americans have they killed on U.S. soil? LAMBERT: So that’s allowed? They’re allowed to kill soldiers in the Middle East? SUNSHINE: For the people who chant death to America for 47 years, how many U.S. citizens have they killed on U.S. soil? How many on U.S. soil, Hal? It’s an easy answer. You should know it. Or is it like Ted Cruz? We don’t know the population of Iran. How many U.S. citizens have they killed on U.S. soil? LAMBERT: You know, I don’t know the answer to that. I would guess it’s low. SUNSHINE: It’s zero. LAMBERT: But I don’t think that’s the telltale test, I don’t think you have to kill us on our soil. If you’re killing us overseas, you’re killing our citizens. SUNSHINE: Why are we overseas to begin with? LAMBERT: Are we really going to global politics on why we’re overseas? BLOW: You’re talking about Iran– (LAUGHTER) NAVARRO: Don’t interrupt him! Get some popcorn! SUNSHINE: Why are we overseas to begin with? Why were they in the Middle East to begin with? You want to know why? LAMBERT: Because of oil. We know why we’re there. It’s because of oil. GRANDERSON: What do you mean because of oil? LAMBERT: We need to protect our interests in oil,… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago

Jamie Raskin (D-MD) over whose “slush fund” was more rotten — President Donald Trump’s, as Raskin believed, or the one the Southern Poverty Law Center used to conduct abortions and trans surgeries on kids, as King argued. Their wild confrontation happened during a House Judiciary Committee hearing focused on the SPLC on Tuesday. Raskin used his time to ask the panelists whether they believed acting Attorney General Todd Blanche launching a $1.776 billion “taxpayer-funded political slush fund to turn the January 6 foot soldiers into MAGA millionaires” was appropriate. “Do you agree that should be shut down?” he asked King. “I will not speak on whether that particular fund should be shut down,” King answered. Martin Luther King’s niece then started to say, “I think some of these slush funds that SPLC is using—” “Okay, but my question is about the one proposed by Todd Blanche,” Raskin cut her off to say. “It’s a yes or no.” “I will not answer that,” King reiterated. “I think they need to stop killing the babies and cutting the penises off. And so any slush fund… money in that is the problem.” “Okay, I have limited time,” Raskin send, before opting to question the next panelist. That exchange came a few minutes after King said “old people like me” were calling her and saying they were “totally shocked” by what the SPLC had been funding with their donations. “They believe it’s okay to cut a boy’s penis off,” King said the stunned donors have told her. The SPLC said in a 2022 article: Transphobic fearmongering that claims such surgery is part of care for children is a deliberate falsehood. And it bears repeating that no medical gender-affirming care for minors happens without parental consent and a significant amount of counseling. Tuesday’s hearing comes after the Justice Department in April indicted the SPLC on fraud charges for allegedly running a stealth years-long campaign that paid millions of dollars to hate group members.

- Fox Host Confronts GOP Congressman on Trump Getting Booed at Knicks Game: ‘Did...Fox Business host Stuart Varney pressed Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) on Tuesday about President Donald Trump’s attendance at the NBA final in New York City the night before. “Last night the Knicks, as I’m sure you know, the Knicks lost Game 3 of the NBA Finals. President Trump was in attendance. It didn’t seem like the game united New Yorkers. Mr. Trump was booed. So it didn’t offer unity, did it? It was more like offering division at the game,” Varney noted. “Listen, I’ve seen Kathy Hochul drop the puck at Rangers games and be booed mercilessly because everybody hates her. The fact is… sports have always been like this. People jeer, they cheer. It’s nothing new,” replied Lawler, adding: And frankly, from my vantage point, President Trump’s a lifelong Knick fan. All of us in New York are excited that the Knicks are on the path to win the NBA championship for the first time in 52 years. So I’m focused on the game. I could care less who attends. If the president wants to go, the governor, the mayor, who cares? The focus is on the games. “If the president of the United States wants to go to the game, he goes,” agreed Varney. Trump’s attendance at the game led a bevy of coverage, focused on everything from whether or not Trump jinxed the home team and whether or not the president fell asleep Watch the clip above via Fox Business.The post Fox Host Confronts GOP Congressman on Trump Getting Booed at Knicks Game: ‘Didn’t Offer Unity, Did it?’ first appeared on Mediaite.
