RNC forced to close online convention chat after anti-Semites turn it into a Jew-bashing hatefest

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' 2024 presidential campaign has not just weakened his brand on the national stage — it has also tarnished his once-indestructible image in Florida itself, reported POLITICO on Friday.

"College boards, stacked with DeSantis appointees, are rejecting job candidates with ties to the governor," reported Gary Fineout and Kimberly Leonard. "The chair of the Republican Party of Florida urged executive committee members to attend all GOP candidate events — giving cover to party faithful who want to attend a dinner at Mar-a-Lago with former President Donald Trump. And the board that oversees many of Florida’s affordable housing programs this month placed on leave its executive director, who was helped into the job by a top DeSantis adviser."

On Friday morning, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough rushed to Vice President Kamala Harris' defense over hand-wringing in some Democratic quarters that Pressident Joe Biden should boot her as his running mate in On Friday morning, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough launched into a full-throated defense of Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that she should absolutely remain President Joe Biden's running mate in 2024.

According Scarborough, a former Republican who served in the U.S. House of Representatives, the panic in some Democratic quarters over Harris is "total nonsense."

"Well, there is this undercurrent, like she's black and a woman, and that's why people don't like her because she's a vice president. 'What are we going to do? We need to change her.!" the aggravated "Morning Joe" host began. "I just go, where were you when Dan Quayle was vice president? Where were you? Nobody remembers this."

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

"Every vice president, we hear this all the time: 'Change your vice presidents,'" he continued. "I'm here to say, it's total nonsense. Nobody has ever voted against any presidential candidate because of who their vice president was."

"If you look at Kamala's numbers, they're not that far off from where every other mocked and ridiculed and loathed vice president has been," he concluded.

CNN anchor Phil Mattingly on Friday expressed astonishment that some supporters of former President Donald Trump believe that the late President John F. Kennedy is still alive despite the fact that he would be 106 years old today even if he had survived his assassination in 1963.

During a teaser segment about an upcoming special report on QAnon, Mattingly chatted with CNN reporter Donie O'Sullivan about his experiences in interviewing the true believers who think both Kennedy and his son, the late John F. Kennedy Jr., are still alive and are clandestinely helping Trump's bid to retake the White House.
