Union leader Weingarten buries 'strange' JD Vance for 'sad and gross' teacher smears

On Sunday afternoon, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten fired back at Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance for his personal attacks on her and all teachers with bizarre accusations they are trying to "brainwash" children.

As part of the Ohio Republican's jihad against childless women, whether they own cats or not, Vance singled out childless teachers during his run for his Senate seat representing Ohio, accusing them of "trying to brainwash the minds of our children." and then he said of Weingarten, "If she wants to brainwash and destroy the mind of children, she should have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone."

'It was your request, not mine': Trump attempts push-back on Arlington photo-op firestorm

On Sunday afternoon, Donald Trump took another stab at laying off blame for his illegal presidential campaign stunt at Arlington National Cemetery earlier in the week where he was photographed smiling and giving a thumbs-up by the graves of American war heroes.

Though days have passed since the controversial meet-up with families that turned into a less than somber photo-op, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to try and put out the firestorm he created which has outraged veterans and the families of those buried at Arlington.

According to the former president, he was invited by several families and it was in no way his idea to personally honor the war dead.

On Truth Social, he wrote, "I want to thank the families of our Great Warriors who have been lost to us for the way they came together as one, and thanked me for attending, at their request, the Celebration of their wonderful family members who, because of the Incompetence of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, are no longer with us. Thank you for saying you wanted me to stand with you at Arlington National Ceremony, and take pictures, that it was your request, not mine, but it was my Great Honor to do so."

"I WILL NEVER FORGET!" he added. "Lightweight V.P. Kamala Harris tried turning it around, because they weren’t there, have never spoken to the families, and have no intention to do so. In Afghanistan, you don’t take the Soldiers out first, you take the Soldiers out last. This would be Military 101, the most basic, and the “leaders” of that Disaster should be immediately fired."

He then made an attempt to move on by obliquely noting the murder of six Israeli hostages taken in Gaza by adding, "We have FOOLS in the White House, and now, they are trying to solve the Hostage Crisis in Israel. Guess how that’s going to turn out?"

Tulsi Gabbard blows off outrage of veterans' families over Trump's Arlington photo-op

During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning, former Democratic lawmaker turned Donald Trump supporter Tulsi Gabbard had little to say to the families of war veterans who were outraged by his photo-op at Arlington National Cemetery.

Speaking with host Dana Bash, Gabbard, herself a veteran, was asked about Trump's highly criticized appearance with several Gold Star families at their invitation that he turned into a campaign ad complete with thumbs-ups and smiles while standing behind headstones.

When asked about other families who were disturbed by the appropriateness, to say nothing of the legality, of using the cemetery for political appearances, Gabbard seemed unbothered.

"The question is about the federal law and Arlington rules that prohibit partisan or political activities at national cemeteries and the military. And also other members of other families who are buried right near there are upset about the campaign filming it and posting the video online," Bash explained. "Do you believe that was appropriate?"

ALSO READ: Something broke Trump’s brain

"No, I checked with the campaign on this question and they have exchanges with the officials at Arlington Cemetery. They were approved to bring a camera there to document this historic and momentous day that should not be forgotten by any American and to have a former president there and joining these gold star families," Gabbard offered without addressing the other families' concerns.

"I know president Trump wanted to share that with others, especially given the fact that President Biden- and Harris, I heard, were invited by some of these family members. They not only didn't come, they didn't even respond to that invitation," she asserted.

GOP stumbling into election like 'a three-ring circus that’s badly managed': insider

Republicans who once saw a bright future for themselves as they approached the pivotal November election are now mired in the aftereffects of the Dobbs decision that dismantled abortion protections and had been made worse by a presidential nominee and his running mate who can't seem to get on the same page about how to address it.

As the Washington Post reported on Sunday morning, the issue of abortion is tearing the Republican party apart because there is disagreement over how far the ban should go on the hot-button issue that has become a central issue for voters.
