'Black liberals loved him': Newsmax analyst claims 'everybody loved' Trump until 2016 campaign
January 29, 2023
Newsmax "Insider" Tom Borelli claimed over the weekend that "everybody loved" Donald Trump until he kicked off his 2016 campaign for president.
During a Sunday discussion about classified documents found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, Borelli argued that the allegations had been overblown.
"The only difference is, you guys mentioned it, orange man bad," he said. "It doesn't matter what the man does."
"Remember, before he was president, everybody loved him. Democrats loved him. Black liberals loved him," Borelli added. "Then he runs for president and orange man bad! That's their go-home message. And really, it's disappointing."
But as early as 2011, Trump had become a right-wing fixture with his “Monday Mornings with Trump” on Fox & Friends.
"'Monday Mornings with Trump' was a franchise that Roger Ailes introduced in 2011, back when the businessman was mostly in the news for his racist smear about Barack Obama’s birthplace," CNN noted in 2020.

Jim Jordan slammed for 'particularly offensive' remarks about Tyre Nichols' beating death
January 29, 2023
During an appearance on "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) expressed dismay at the beating death of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols at the hands of five Memphis police officers — and then dismissed the idea that new laws need to be implemented to stop police abuse.
Speaking with host Chuck Todd, the Ohio Republican stated, "I don't know that there's any law that can stop that evil that we saw," before later adding, "But no amount of training's going to change what we saw in that video."
That led GOP campaign consultant Susan Del Percio to pounce on the new House Judiciary Committee chairman for blowing off the idea that changes need to be made.
Appearing on MSNBC, she stated, "There are so many things that have happened over the years that should be bringing both parties together but they don't."

"What I find particularly offensive about Jim Jordan's argument about no law would change what happened in this incident," she said, continuing, "It's the same line that they use when it comes to gun safety. It's not about the individual. As horrific as it is and of course, it is for that family member. But what it represents as having a systemic problem in policing our cities"
"Yes, there are things that we can do federally, there are things that need to be looked at," she lectured. "Such as qualified immunity — getting rid of that. What's really painful and a little bit to Don's point, when you look at the five officers that committed those hard crimes, they'd all begun in the police department for a relatively short period of time; anywhere from 2 to 5 years. They should have been trained properly. They've been in the 'new policing' if you will, for the last 5 to 10 years."
"This is systemic. It has to be addressed and we can't simply defund the police or abolish the whole system because we still need policing in our cities and states," she continued. "There does have to be an open dialogue. I think the most important thing at the national level is getting that qualified immunity off the table."

'I certainly didn't report that': ABC host busts House Republican for inventing a story about Joe Biden
January 29, 2023
United States Representative Mike Turner (R-Ohio), who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, claimed during an interview on Sunday's edition of This Week that President Joe Biden snuck classified documents from Washington "on the train back home" to Delaware while he was serving in the Senate and then as vice president.
The conversation was focused on how and why sensitive materials keep turning up at the homes of high-level elected officials such as Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence. While no crimes have been alleged, Turner nonetheless believes that Biden acted suspiciously. And ABC moderator Martha Raddatz was deeply skeptical of that assessment.
Biden "clearly was taking them repeatedly on the train back home and putting them in boxes in his garage. That repeated action is certainly concerning, but the overall evidence that it was a repeated action, these are classified," Turner said.
When Raddatz requested proof to substantiate that accusation, Turner had none to provide.
"Do you have any evidence it was a repeated action? Sir, do you have evidence or anything about the train, for instance?" Raddatz asked.
Turner offered a lengthy dodge:
What you actually have reported yourself, that some of these documents relate back to when he was a senator and some of these documents relate to the time when he was vice president. That's over several decades and over a great deal of time, and he famously tells us he was on the train going from Washington DC to his house. We know they didn't just fly there on their own. He would have had to have taken them. And having done so over a series of decades certainly is of a concern because it's a practice. But the point that you're making, which I think is the, the one we need to focus on, is that these classified documents contain information that we don't want anyone else to see, that we don't want anyone else to know, because they put at risk our country. They put at risk, as you reported – with great report, by the way – about the concerns of classified documents, that these actually put people's lives at risk who are working to try to protect our country and to keep our secrets safe.
Raddatz, however, was still curious about the origin of Turner's train tale – which she pointed out was not herself.
"And I just want to go back to the train? Because I certainly didn't report that he did that on the train," Raddatz noted. "Do you think Mike Pence brought those documents to his home just the same way you're saying that Biden did, or we just don't know?"
Turner steadfastly maintained his speculation:
Well, we don't know. But what we do know is that the vice president has said that he was not involved in the packing of these, that they were transported to his house after he was vice president. We don't know. Obviously, the chain of custody in each of these issues is going to be important. It certainly should be part of the Department of justice investigation. How did these documents get where they were going and where we ultimately found them, but also what happened to them in the interim? How did they get into the hands of both the vice president/senator, President Biden, the Vice President Pence and, of course, [former] President [Donald] Trump? How did they get into their hands and then how did they get where we ultimately found them?
