Less than one week after being pummeled for praising college students mocking a Black woman by making monkey sounds, a sitting U.S. Congressman is once again being criticized, this time for “joking” about the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and his brother, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, amid news about presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.U.S. Rep.

They also call

A Republican state lawmaker in New Hampshire is refusing to apologize after a firestorm over comments he made about pregnant teenagers.According to The Daily Beast, "Rep. Jess Edwards sparked national outcry when he opposed a bill that would raise the age of marriage from 16 to 18, saying on the House floor that outlawing marriage for people of a 'ripe, fertile age' could result in more abortions. "In an interview with The Daily Beast on Tuesday night, Edwards said using the word 'ripe' was a mistake, but that he did not deserve the hundreds of emails he received calling him a pedophile and worse."“I misspoke. It was an inappropriate word,” acknowledg

And because it wasn’t quite right, lots of liberals and Democrats (and even some leftists) are not really hearing what the president is saying. That’s too bad, because what he’s saying is what they want him to say. Joe Biden gave brief remarks at a ceremony commemorating victims of the Holocaust. The AP’s lede is representative of coverage elsewhere: President Joe Biden on Tuesday decried a 'ferocious surge' in antisemitism on college campuses and around the globe

Former President Donald Trump's election interference trial in Georgia hit a major roadblock on Wednesday, when his appeal of a decision allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the case was granted. The Georgia Court of Appeals decided recently to hear Trump's appeal, which will almost certainly mean that Willis' Fulton County RICO trial in which she indicted Trump and more than a dozen other co-defendants will not happen before the election. During a recent appearance on MSNBC, Atlanta Journal-Constitution political reporter Greg Bluestein laid out the next steps for both the prosecution and the defense, along with a projected timeline that extends int

Other Trump orbit guests present included Cleta Mitchell, Ken Cuccinelli, and Hogan Gidley (full video below). .@SpeakerJohnson appearing on steps of the Capitol w

After each daily break in his criminal trial proceedings, former President Donald Trump frequently complains that Judge Juan Merchan requiring him to be physically present is unfairly preventing him from being on the campaign trial. But on his days off, he's rarely seen campaigning."I'm sitting in a courthouse all day long, listening to this stuff," Trump said last week. "I'm supposed to be in Georgia, I'm supposed to be in New Hampshire, I'm supposed to be in Ohio and lots of other places."However, Axios recently reported that Trump is spending Wednesday — in which trial proceedings are paused — not hitting the campaign stump in swi

Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pennsylvania) was recently heard in an audio clip baselessly accusing the Democratic Party of being in cahoots with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).According to CNN, Perry uttered the remarks during a hearing in the House Oversight Committee dubbed "the Origins and Implications of Rising Antisemitism in Higher Education." That hearing was convened in response to the nationwide protest movement spreading on college campuses calling on colleges to divest their endowments from corporations with ties to Israel. "The KKK in modern times, a lot of young people think somehow it’s a right-wing organization when it is the military wing of the Democratic Party. Decidedly, unabashedly, racist and antisemitic,
