During a debate Friday evening, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) attempted to attack his challenger Beto O’Rourke by claiming he wants to see the Dallas officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man in his own apartment lose her job.

“Why did you caution Representative O’Rourke and others not to jump to conclusions in this case when the Texas Rangers and the Dallas District Attorney said she committed manslaughter?” a moderator asked Cruz about Dallas officer Amber Geiger’s shooting of Botham Jean in his apartment, which she thought was hers.

“If she violated the law, if she did that intentionally, she’ll face the consequences,” the senator said. “But without knowing the facts, before a trial, before a jury has heard the evidence, Congressman O’Rourke is ready to convict her, ready to fire her.”

“It’s a troubling pattern,” Cruz continued. “Over and over again, Congressman O’Rourke, when faced with an issue about police and law enforcement, he sides against the police.”

Radio host and sometimes-Comedian Dean Obeidallah won a major victory this week in his war against neo-Nazis at the Daily Stormer.

The Washington Post reported that the SiriusXMProgress host was awarded $4.1 million by a federal judge for smearing Obeidallah as a "terrorist." The attack on Obeidallah prompted several to send death threats and terrify the progressive host.

The goal of the lawsuit, according to Obeidallah was never about money, he said it was about "sending a message to Trump-loving white supremacists that they will never silence me nor any of the people in the groups they hate."

Kamala Harris blisters Trump over foreign interference comments: He ‘doesn’t understand the job and can’t do it very well’

Published

On Wednesday, in conversation with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) shared some sharply critical thoughts on President Donald Trump's defense of using political dirt from foreign adversaries.

"These are stunning comments from the president," said Ruhle. "What's your reaction?"

"Well, Stephanie, listen," said Harris, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination. "He's the commander in chief, and has a duty and a responsibility to the American people to be a defender, if not the greatest defender of our democracy. But to quite the contrary, what we hear tonight is that he is yet again open to the idea of working with foreign governments to undermine the integrity of our election system. It's outrageous and it tells me the guy just doesn't understand the job and can't do it very well."

Bush ethics lawyer calls for Bill Barr to be impeached in epic rant

Published

Richard Painter, former ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush was furious about the recent news that President Donald Trump is more than willing to accept help from foreign powers to undermine his political opponents.

In an interview with MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle, Painter said that the acts by Russia and other foreign government are an example of "subversion and foreign espionage." Meanwhile, the president of the United States finds the act acceptable.

Painter warned that if Congress doesn't open an impeachment inquiry then he'll continue to do it, time and time again. "We're going to have a repeat of 2016," he said. If Republicans in the Senate are unwilling to put the country first, Painter said they need to be kicked out in 2020.
