2024 Elections

Donald Trump's claim that McDonald's issued a statement claiming Vice President Kamala Harris never worked for the fast food giant was debunked Monday.

The Washington Post reported that McDonalds denied making such a response to the Trump camp.

Pro-MAGA television host Bobby McNeily compared former President Donald Trump to "great athletes" like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant after he learned to cook French fries at a McDonald's.

McNeily, a host for RSBN, made the remarks a day after Trump staged a campaign stunt at the Pennsylvania McDonald's.

A decision by GOP vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance to heap praise on Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) for the "good work he is doing" unleashed a flood of vitriol from MAGA supporters who have still not gotten over the Georgia Republican's refusal to find more votes for Donald Trump in his 2020 re-election bid.

On Monday, Vance posted on X a picture of himself with Kemp and wrote, "Governor Brian Kemp has done a good job for the people of Georgia. I'm grateful he's supporting President Trump in this race and fighting to bring some common sense back to the federal government."

On their"Jack" podcast, legal analyst Allison Gill and former deputy director of the FBI Andy McCabe connected the dots between what they called Donald Trump's "absurd" court motions in his 2020 election interference criminal case, and how he might use them to claim fraud in 2024.

Gill cited a tweet from MSNBC legal analyst Kristy Greenberg, who addressed ongoing requests for delays and motions to dismiss, saying Trump makes the filings so he "could slam Democrats for election interference when the documents were released over his objection."

Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) praised former President Donald Trump for getting "dust" on his shoes while visiting the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.

At a campaign stunt near Asheville on Monday, Trump asked Edwards to say a few words about the storm damage.

When the U.S. Supreme Court made abortion a national right with the historic Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973, the most vehement outcry didn't come from white evangelical Protestants — it came from Catholics. White evangelicals, as religious studies professor Randall Balmer has noted, didn't make abortion a high priority until the late 1970s — their big issue in 1973 was segregation, which they vigorously defended.

The late Rev. Jerry Falwell Sr., in fact, was an outspoken defender of Jim Crow laws for many years. And his Moral Majority didn't have a lot to say about abortion before the Religious Right emerged at the end of the decade.

Over the weekend, Tesla, X, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk began offering cash payments to voters who signed his pro-Donald Trump petition. "Morning Joe" hosts commented Monday that this is drawing questions about Musk's openness to breaking laws to get Trump elected.

All Joe Scarborough could do was laugh in shocked at the sheer amount Musk was offering — $1 million to people daily — that he was comfortable mentioning from a rally stage.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough went on an extensive harangue aimed at Donald Trump and his campaign for flooding the airwaves with 30,000 ads pinning a controversial government policy begun by his administration on Vice President Kamala Harris.

The "Morning Joe" host also brought receipts by showing the memo dated 2018 when the former president was smack in the middle of his first and only term in office.

Holding up the documents, Scarborough complained about the ads that tied Harris to a federal prison policy providing gender-affirming care for prisoners that have become a regular feature during NFL broadcasts.

"It's the law, it's the Trump law," the animated MSNBC host loudly exclaimed. "These are Donald Trump's documents from the Justice Department. This is what Donald Trump's Justice Department sent to congress!"

"Let me say this again: this is what Donald Trump's Justice Department sent to Congress talking about the, quote, 'Gender-affirming care that inmates would need to get.' Taxpayer funded gender affirming care," he repeated. " Ive got to say it sounds like a crazy idea to me, and we can have that debate at another time. It sounds like a crazy idea to a lot of Americans, but we can have that debate another time."

He later added, "It's very complicated, yes. We'll say for some people it's very complicated, but I just say we can have that debate at another time. The debate we can have is how hypocritical the Trump campaign has been running 30,000 ads during NFL games."

Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance defended Donald Trump's threat to use the U.S. military against the "enemy from within," saying the former president "speaks from the heart."

During a Monday interview on Fox News, host Bill Hemmer asked Vance why Trump kept talking about his threat to use the military in U.S. elections to fight "radical left lunatics" and the "enemy from within."

The day after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) ran to the Sunday cable shows to defend Donald Trump over his "enemies within" smears aimed at lawmakers and military leaders who have been critical of him, former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) gave both of her former colleagues a dressing down.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," McCaskill noted Graham lashing out at military leaders, specifically retired Gen. Mark Milley, on "Meet the Press" where he raged, "What are you doing? You're trying to convince me that Donald Trump's rhetoric is the danger to this country? The danger to this country is the policies of Biden and Harris."

Also noting Johnson's combative defense of the former president on CNN's "State of the Union," the former senator said both men should be ashamed of themselves.

'Let's take a trip down reality lane" she suggested to hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. "All you have to do — thank goodness we have a way to check this — all you have to do is ask his [Trump's] chief of staff the first time he was in the White House. Ask his counsel, attorney general, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest military leadership in our country."

"All you have to do is ask those five people what he tried to do in his first administration," she continued. "And Lindsey Graham knows this. Mike Johnson knows this. He tried to get all of them to do what he is now promising to do; they all said no."

"Here's what's different: he will not put people like that in the Oval Office next time around, he's proudly said he won't," she added. "He's proudly said that they were, you know, picking the best people, and all of these people were terrible. Well, they were terrible because they told him he couldn't do these kinds of things in the United States of America."

"Shame on Mike Johnson. I mean, that was really embarrassing for him. Shame on the Wall Street Journal and really shame on poor Lindsey Graham, who stood up the day after January 6th, and said he was done with it," she concluded.

After sharing a clip of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) battling with Jake Tapper over Donald Trump's desire for prosecute his political enemies if he is re-elected, the hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" lambasted the Republican leader.

Pressed on Trump calling his critics the "enemy within,": Johnson claimed that the CNN host was blowing the ex-president's words out of proportion, which led to a tense exchange with the exasperated Tapper.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough lashed out at Wall Street Journal Monday after the editorial board published a piece blowing off concerns about Donald Trump's growing fascism.

The editorial, entitled "The 'Fascist' Meme Returns," attempted to make the case that not only is the former president not exhibiting authoritarian tendencies when he calls his political opponents "the enemy within," but that it is Democrats who are the real threat in America.
