Watch: Jake Tapper takes parting shot at GOP's Mike Johnson as contentious interview ends

At the conclusion of a combative interview with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), CNN's Jake Tapper ended the 15-minute segment with a not-too-subtle potshot at the senior Republican official.

The "State of the Union" host was repeatedly rebuffed by Johnson when he asked about Donald Trump's antics, including his speech in Pennsylvania where the Republican nominee for the presidency started off a Pennsylvania rally by rambling on for ten minutes about golfer Arnold Palmer's penis.

The exchange led the normally unflappable Johnson to snap at the CNN host and talk over him while asking to change the subject.

'Don't say that!' Mike Johnson flips out on CNN's Tapper over Trump's vulgar rally story

An attempt by CNN's Jake Tapper to get a reaction from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Donald Trump's vulgar storytelling at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday was first met with bluster and then anger on Sunday morning.

Johnson was booked for "State of the Union" long before Trump spent over ten minutes regaling his rally crowd with a story about golfer Arnold Palmer's genitalia.

Confronted with Trump's vulgar story, Johnson instead spent his time attacking Vice President Kamala Harris until Tapper brought him back by asking about the appropriateness of Trump talking about the golfer's penis.

'I was pushed by an elderly woman': Hecklers whine to Fox News after Kamala Harris rally

'I am actually stunned': MSNBC host rips into the 'most disturbing' part of Trump rally

Reacting to a clip of Donald Trump regaling a Pennsylvania crowd with a story about legendary golfer Arnold Palmer's genitalia to kick off a rally on Saturday, a fuming Michael Steele expressed his disgust with not only the former president but also the rally attendees who were eating up his vulgar tale.

On MSNBC's "The Weekend" the entire panel looked on in dismay as the clip ran and it was co-host and former RNC chair Michael Steele who put into words what they all seemed to be thinking.

Momentarily at a loss for words, he finally admitted, "I'm actually stunned that this is what our country is doing right now."

He then continued, "You have the Republican nominee for the presidency of the United States standing on stage at a rally, not talking about the economy, not talking about creating jobs for the next generation, not talking about providing health care or even dealing with the intractable issues around climate. No – talking about a man's genitalia."

"But this is the part that is the most disturbing," he elaborated. "The people behind him who are laughing and yucking it up and thinking that is good political discourse and that is what the next president of the United States should spend his time talking about."

"They weren't offended, they were amused," he accused. "And that's the rub with Donald Trump. It's all about the amusements, all about the entertainment and yucking it up and dumbing you down enough to be stupid enough to buy into these narratives about other people, about our country, and about another man's genitalia."

'Noise may be all Trump needs': Fears grow over a return of 'Stop the steal' chaos

With the presidential election just a little over two weeks away, there is a growing sense of alarm that Donald Trump will definitely launch a multi-prong attack on the results should he lose that will, once again, plunge the country into chaos.

According to a deep dive report from Politico, it is widely expected that the former president will copy and expand upon his efforts from 2020 when he claim the election was stolen from him and will set that in motion by declaring himself the winner not long after the polls start closing.

Outside of the chaos, there are worries the former president will make enough "noise" that it may provide a path for Trump partisans in key states to either refuse to certify the vote totals or, as was attempted in 2020, offer up as alternate set of electors who will try and hand their state's electoral votes to the former president.

That, the report warns, could hand him the presidency.

Harris questions whether Trump is ‘fit’ to be president after canceled interviews

Vice President Kamala Harris questioned whether former President Donald Trump is “fit” to serve as president after the Republican nominee canceled several planned interviews and spent more than 30 minutes at the end of a town hall in Pennsylvania standing on stage swaying to music rather than taking questions.

Trump has recently backed out of interviews with NBC News and with 60 Minutes. His staff had been in talks with The Shade Room, an online outlet with a primarily young and Black audience, but were reportedly told that Trump would not be finalizing a date for the interview because he is “exhausted.”

'Who is gonna tell him?': Onlookers say Trump suffered 'bizarre memory episode on air'

Donald Trump on Saturday appeared to get the day of the week wrong on multiple occasions, including at his rally.

Trump over the weekend began his Pennsylvania rally with a long-winded story about a former professional golfer, and included a detail that became the subject of mockery online: the purported size of the man's genitalia. Later in the speech, Trump spoke twice about a game later that night, although observers were quick to point out that the game is on Sunday.

'He is degrading': Trump biographer explains how he thinks ex-president's 'mind is slower'

Donald Trump has always been ignorant and irrational, but over the last few years, it's clear that he is slowing down and becoming less coherent, according to the former president's own biographer.

Trump echoes Hitler’s rhetoric ahead of upcoming 'Nazi-esque' rally in New York: columnist

One of former President Donald Trump's final campaign rallies won't happen in one of the seven must-win battleground states, but in deep-blue New York City. And one columnist is drawing parallels between that upcoming rally and a 1939 Nazi gathering.

In a Saturday essay for the Guardian, Sidney Blumenthal — a former advisor to both Bill and Hillary Clinton — opined that Trump's October 27 rally at Madison Square Garden will likely be his "most unsettling spectacle yet." He further elaborated that the venue Trump chose for the event is the same location used by the Adolf Hitler-supporting German American Bund in 1939.
