Fox News host adamant that 'crack addict,' 'sex addict' and 'fake doctor' run White House

A prominent Fox News host — who is no stranger to unhinged takes — unleashed a baseless, conspiratorial rant Thursday that Democrats want the president to fail and that the White House is actually run by a drug-user, a fake doctor, and a sex fiend.

Judge Jeanine Pirro remarked on the show "The Five" that President Joe Biden is facing swirling questions over his competency on the same day that former President Donald Trump was initially supposed to be sentenced for his conviction on 34 felony counts in the infamous New York hush money case.

'Good ideas': Trump V.P. hopeful promotes Project 2025 as ex-president claims no knowledge

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) doesn't want his party to back off of Project 2025 — in fact, he told conservative talk show host Rob Shmitt, it's a platform that has some good ideas in it.

Project 2025 is a sweeping plan conceived by the far-right Heritage Foundation, which calls for replacing the entire federal civil service with an army of MAGA loyalists, taking complete executive control of the FBI and DOJ, imposing Christian nationalism in law, and radical changes to the government including defunding or repealing federal programs ranging from Medicare and Social Security to military family benefits to grants for public transportation.

'So misleading': CNN's Tapper flips out on deceptive anti-Biden ad that uses his voice

On Thursday afternoon, CNN host Jake Tapper lashed out at a viral 2024 presidential ad that used his voice and those of other cable hosts trashing President Joe Biden after the first presidential debate.

The ad, posted by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also uses clips of the cable anchors praising Biden — with Biden's name excised — over video clips of Kennedy, thereby implying they are boosting his long-shot candidacy.

On X, formerly Twitter, Tapper wrote, "This is so misleading and deceptive it should be taken down at once. The quotes are falsely clipped together."

Voices used on the clip, besides Tapper, include his "State of the Union" co-host Dana Bash, CNN evening host Anderson Cooper, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, and Fox News host Harris Faulkner.

Over footage of Kennedy Jr. Cooper is heard stating, "Sources are saying Democrats are starting to rally around who they believe might be their only legitimate chance of beating Donald Trump."

'What year is this?': Conservative nailed after freakout over Project 2025 question

Conservative campaign adviser and frequent CNN commentator Scott Jennings was on the receiving end of mockery from host Jim Acosta and CNN political commentator Paul Begala after he went on a rant after being pressed on the controversial Project 2025 conservative platform that Donald Trump is now running away from.

With both Jennings and Begala on to discuss the latest poll numbers for President Joe Biden and Trump, Acosta brought up Project 2025 as a drag on the GOP ticket with Jennings bizarrely comparing it to progressive House members, known as the "squad," calling to defund the police.

"Let's talk about Project 2025," host Acosta prompted. "You've got dozens of former Trump officials involved in this project. Let's look at the organization behind the project, which is sponsoring the RNC, has banners up at the Milwaukee airport welcoming conventiongoers."

"What's going on? Why is Trump ... why are his advisors trying to distance themselves from the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025. I mean, it sounds like , you know, that they are very much like-minded on a lot of these things?"

"Because they're not the president, they're not running for president," Jennings parried. "The Heritage Foundation doesn't appear on the ballot. The people working on this don't appear on the ballot. The only person who decides what policies they're going to pursue is the person on the ballot or the person in the Oval Office, or at least that used to be the case before Joe Biden — I'm not so sure given the reporting about how he's out to lunch or whatever."

"But in this Donald Trump will ultimately decide what his agenda is and that's why the RNC put out a platform." he excitedly added. "If the Democrats want to play this game though, I think they should be prepared to own every single policy proposal ever issued by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the rest of the squad; Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT), socialist organizations in America that support that group."

"If you want to play this game, then you're going to have to own everything starting with defund the police," he exclaimed. "So what I'm going to assume, Jim, is that Democrats want to own for Joe Biden defund the police if they want him to own project 2020, then they can own defund the police and we'll see how the American people sort it out."

A bemused Begala replied, "I've got to say kudos to my buddy Jennings there for that deflection, you're slicker than a bucket full of eels."

A laughing Acosta added, "I want to say 'defund the police'? What year is this? Anyway, I thought we were talking about Project 2025."

Trump sees no value to NATO if he can't personally profit from it: analyst

Former President Donald Trump views the NATO alliance, one of America's most critical military partnerships in promoting global security, through a lens of personal profit, warned Puck News' Julia Ioffe on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Thursday.

This comes amid her reporting that foreign NATO leaders are privately bracing for the possibility Trump could defeat President Joe Biden this November, and they are debating how to curb the worst of his instincts, given that when he was in office he routinely demanded other NATO members pay more on military spending, threatened to leave the alliance, and had a closeness with Russia's Vladimir Putin that could threaten U.S. support for Ukraine against Russia's invasion.

Appearing on CNN Thursday to discuss President Joe Biden's struggles after a poor debate performance more than two weeks ago, a Republican party strategist found herself having to explain away an ugly racist attack on Vice President Kamala Harris made by one of Donald Trump's closest allies.

On Newsmax's "Rob Schmitt Tonight" on Wednesday, the host asked Sebastian Gorka, "Do these donors really think that Kamala Harris is going to do better in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania than Joe Biden would?"
