Despite deleting any pictures they may have taken with embattled North Carolina GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, Republican lawmakers are doing as little as they can to disavow their Republican Party colleague who has described himself as a "Black Nazi."

That is the opinion of former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele who claimed that Robinson embodies everything Donald Trump's MAGA followers find appealing.

From his perch as a host of MSNBC's "The Weekend," Steele noted the flood of allegations that have all but assured the North Carolina Republican will lose on election day and claimed Republicans should rid themselves of him — but won't.

First-time former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was battered by the MSNBC "The Weekend" panel early Saturday morning over comments he made in Ohio attempting to excuse the racist attacks made by Donald Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance that have upended the lives of the citizens of Springfield, Ohio.

Ramaswamy, an Ohio native, spoke with a small group of supporters in the state this week where he tried to clean up the mess made by the former president and his 2024 running mate who are falsely accusing Haitian immigrants of stealing pets and eating them.

In a clip shown as part of the segment, Ramaswamy can he heard telling the small numbers of supporters, "You take 20,000 people who are unprepared to integrate into a committee, dump them into a city of 50,000, you are going to get a reactionary response. Then you demonize the people who have a reactionary response who say, 'You are blaming me!' they're going to have ill will in this case toward the Haitian community."

"It is literally fueling a new wave of anti-Black racism in the country that otherwise would not exist if it weren't for those woke anti-racism policies in the first place, " he added.

That, in turn led Princeton professor Eddie Glaude to gasp off-camera, "Oh my god!"

"The Weekend " co-host Michael Steele took it from there, turning to the camera and stating, "Before you give a response, I just have to say, 'Vivek, you're full of crap.' Look at what the Haitian community did when they arrived in Springfield."

Glaude added, "I was trying to edit myself in so many ways. A part of it is this: Vivek just traded on a whole range of tropes and bad history."

"If you look at the debates around immigration in the 1920s, running up to 1924 Johnson Immigration Act, some of the same things were said about immigrant; they are not prepared to integrate into the society," he continued. "Well we know that happened in Springfield; you had an influx of folks, they did not have in place the infrastructure around schools and hospitals as they were inviting the labor into the community to revitalize it. But instead, you blame them and then you other them and justify the deep-seated prejudice against the folks."

Less than thirty minutes after he launched a wide-ranging tirade aimed at HBO's Bill Maher, MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, columnist Bret Stephens and the New York Times, Donald Trump posted a video to his Truth Social account announcing yet another offer to his fans that will put money in his pocket.

The former president's Saturday morning kicked off with the embattled former president snarling at Maher and complaining, that he's "having a hard time coping with TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. He is a befuddled mess, sloppy and tired, and every conversation, with B and C list guests, seems to start with, or revert back to, ME! "

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend" early Saturday, former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen couldn't control his glee talking about the declining value of Trump Media & Technology Group stock at the same time when the stock market is booming.

With co-host Alicia Menendez calling the former president an "economic genius" with tongue in cheek, Cohen took the jibe and ran with it, telling the panel, "And yet, we have all turned around and seen the number of bankruptcies, we have seen the number of failed business ventures."

"During the greatest boom in the U.S. economy, his own stock, the Trump Media that has that untrue social [Truth Social] platform, is down like 68, 70 percent from its high," he pointed out with a smirk. "Everything else is sort of rising up with your 401(k), but not if you are an investor in the Trump Media stock..

"And yet, yet, we've got to ask Princeton [professor Eddie Glaude] what his position is," he added. "I don't have an answer as to how he is managed to fool so many people day in and day out — that was a part of my job."

Vice President Kamala Harris blasted GOP "hypocrites" who are banning abortion while they suddenly start claiming they want to protect women and children.

In a fiery speech focused on reproductive rights and abortion in Atlanta, the Democratic presidential nominee was met with cheers and applause as she tore into Republicans, asking them where have they been.

HBO comedian Bill Maher reprimanded his own audience on Friday night after the crowd laughed at the big story of the week — a second Trump assassination plot.

Kicking off "Real Time," the comedian told his audience, "Let's not bury the lede: the big story this week is they tried to shoot Trump again. It's not —"

A prominent political analyst brought a moment of levity to CNN on Friday night as he made himself and the fill-in host chuckle over a clip of Harris saying she's a gun owner — and will use it if someone breaks into her home.

Van Jones joined "The Source" on Friday night to discuss a clip of Vice President Kamala Harris laughing during an interview with media mogul Oprah Winfrey, in which Harris laughs as she flattened attacks that she and running mate Tim Walz will take peoples' guns away.

A conservative former Georgia lieutenant governor blasted the state's Trump-backed election board after it decided to have ballots hand-counted, saying the panel "got their way" after months of "carrying Donald Trump's water."

Geoff Duncan, a vocal anti-Trump Republican who this week said Trump was responsible for Jan. 6 and death threats against Duncan's family, joined CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Friday night to talk about the much-derided board decision.

A Republican strategist swatted away any notion that it was "inappropriate" for former President Donald Trump to call into a meeting with officials in Nebraska and encourage them to change election rules to a winner-take-all system.

Nebraska is one of two states that award some electoral votes by congressional district. While the state is overwhelmingly and reliably Republican-leaning, Democrats could win an electoral vote from the Omaha area. In what's expected to be a razor-thin election, one vote could boost Kamala Harris' chances to defeat Trump if she secures the battleground states Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, according to a Washington Post analysis.
