Former President Donald Trump suggested he could efficiently conduct mass deportations if reelected because immigrants have "serial numbers."

In a Sunday interview on Full Measure, host Sharyl Attkisson challenged Trump on his promise of mass deportations.

Former President Donald Trump blamed COVID-19 on "dust" that "flew in from China."

In an interview that aired on Sunday, Heritage Foundation-funded journalist Sharyl Attkisson asked Trump about how well he handled the pandemic.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat — authoritarian expert and professor of history and Italian studies at New York University — during Sunday's episode of MSNBC's The Weekend, responded to Donald Trump's latest Truth Social rant directed towards women.

The former president declared — in all caps — that if he wins the White House, "WOMEN WILL BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, CONFIDENT AND FREE!"

During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press,' Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) blew off answering questions about GOP vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance (R-OH) by stating that no one takes Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate seriously.

After host Kristen Welker shared a clip of Vance attempting to pin the blame on Donald Trump assassination attempts on Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats, she asked the Pennsylvania Democrat, "Senator, what's your response to Senator J.D. Vance?"

"I don't know. Who is actually listening to what Vance says?" Fetterman replied with a smile. "It's been months already; no one's really listening to him anymore."

He then added, "He has developed the reputation for saying dumb things, pointless things and offends everybody and he's been picked as the most unpopular pick in history and no one's listening to him."

"I'm certainly not and here we are right now," he added.

Political analyst Laura Fink called out Fox News contributor Guy Benson for using "simple tropes" after he bragged that former President Trump was leading the "scorecard" on assassination attempts.

During a Fox News panel discussion on Sunday, Benson complained that Democrats had called attention to Trump's harsh language against Vice President Kamala Harris after a man recently plotted to assassinate the former president at a golf course in Florida.

On Sunday morning, the entire panel on MSNBC's "The Weekend" burst into uncontrollable laughter after co-host Alicia Menendez made fun of Donald Trump scrambling for a reason to avoid another debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Saturday morning, Harris agreed to the CNN debate only for Trump to shoot it down at a North Carolina rally later in the day by saying it was "too late" to debate while also admitting that he would be amenable to one on Fox News.

After sharing the clip, Menendez admitted "I'm an introvert," before continuing, "and I want to be invited to your party. I don't want to go to your party. That sounds a lot like what I have to say when I am trying to find a way out."

As the rest of the panel started laughing, she smirked and added, "I have to wash my hair — it's complicated. I just don't know. I have to get a babysitter .... he does not want to do this."

Guest Eugene Daniels added, "You have what people call the 'joy of missing out.' I feel that deeply sometimes. The thing that's interesting about Donald Trump is you can also watch them working through things in real time."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) acknowledged that former President Donald Trump was losing when he faced a "head-to-head" matchup against Vice President Kamala Harris.

During an interview on Sunday, Graham was asked about a new NBC News poll showing Harris with a 5-point lead over Trump. The poll also indicated Harris' favorability jumped 16 points since she became the Democratic nominee for president.

Jake Tapper's interview with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on CNN Sunday morning went briefly off the rails as the two talked over each other after the Republican lawmaker accused Vice President Kamala Harris of hating Israel because he believes she is antisemitic.

That ended up being too much for the "State of the Union" host who called out the GOP lawmaker and exclaimed, "Her husband is Jewish!"

With Tapper asking his guest about Donald Trump's recent comments that Jews would be to blame if he loses in November, Cotton continued to attack Harris by saying she is no friend of Israel and Tapper insisting he was talking about the former president's tenuous relationship with American Jews.

"Jake, Donald Trump, again has been saying for months that anyone who cares about Israel, anyone who cares about the fate of the U.S./Israel alliance should vote for him", Cotton attempted. "They shouldn't vote for Kamala Harris because Kamala Harris has consistently been the most anti-Israel voice"

"When was the last time Kamala Harris spoke about combating antisemitism?" Cotton asked.

"Her husband is Jewish and is in charge of a group about combating antisemitism in the United States!" Tapper shot back.

"But she has consistently been opposed to what Israel needs to win," Cotton parried.

"Again, I keep talking about Jewish voters in the United States and you keep talking about another ..." Tapper replied only to have Cotton talk over him and insist, "A lot of Jewish voters, just like a lot of Christian voters care deeply about the fate of the Jewish nation and the status of our relationship with Israel."

"Are you comfortable with him [Trump] blaming it on the Jews preemptively?" Tapper pressed.

"The point he is making is at anyone that cares about that relationship shouldn't vote for Kamala Harris they should vote for him and, again, he's been saying things like this, not just at antisemitism events, but speaking to Christians who care about Israel as well, for months," Cotton insisted. "The only reason the Democrats have latched onto it is that a poll..."

"No, no, no," Tapper interrupted. "This is the first time he has ever said, if I lose it will be the fault of Jews," the CNN host corrected him

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, to "sue the hell out of CNN" after the outlet reported on comments he wrote on a pornographic website.

During a Sunday interview on Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker asked Graham if Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump should withdraw his endorsement of Robinson.

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance struggled over the weekend to defend denials by Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, after he made controversial comments on a pornographic website, which included calling himself a "Black Nazi" and defending slavery.

A reporter for NBC Philadelphia asked Vance to react after Robinson denied making the comments.

Appearing on CNN early Sunday morning, longtime journalist Lynn Sweet poured cold water on Donald Trump's excuse for staying away from a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.

On Saturday morning, the Harris campaign announced it had agreed to a second debate, this one to be on CNN after appearing previously with the former president on ABC which went poorly for Trump.

Speaking at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina on Saturday afternoon, Trump told the crowd that it made no sense to debate again because it's "too late."

Specifically, he claimed, "She’s done one debate, I’ve done two, it’s too late to do another. I’d love to, in many ways, but it’s too late, the voting is cast, the voters are out there.”

Speaking with CNN's Amara Walker, Sweet needled the former president for speaking out of both sides of his mouth.

"The first debate in 2020 was September 29th, the second was in October," she dryly explained. "The whole point of it debate is to make it possible for you to be elected president of the United States, it's not for entertainment value or any other calculation, it doesn't matter who gets the last word."
