Donald Trump today preposterously blamed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the incident yesterday on his golf course where a man was spotted in the woods with an AK-47.
Routh has a criminal history and a record of supporting various political causes and candidates.
House Speaker Mike Johnson told former President Donald Trump that he reminded him of “bulletproof George Washington” after the Secret Service foiled a second assassination attempt against him.
Marjorie Taylor Greene admitted she had posted a made-up claim—but did not take down the original post.
J.D. Vance tripled down on his debunked claims that Haitian immigrants are killing and eating local pets in Springfield, Ohio, while also admitting, “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”
Republicans have dissolved whatever lines existed between the conservative movement’s intellectual thought-leaders and seedy digital mudslingers.
“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” the former president and Republican candidate posted on Truth Social of the massively influential pop superstar.
Any way you look at it, the big Moms for Liberty event in Washington, D.C. on Labor Day weekend was a flop.
