Fox News host Maria Bartiromo and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) floated possible conspiracy theories over the weekend after former President Donald Trump was shot in the ear.

During a Sunday appearance on Fox News, Johnson suggested that Trump's life was saved because he turned to look at a chart that was first given to the former president by the Wisconsin senator.

Reacting to a report from Politico that pointed out big holes in Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance's resume when it comes to dealing with how the government functions, former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele expressed surprise the GOP approved of Donald Trump's running mate.

According to the Politico report, "By historic standards, Vance has shockingly little [experience]. No experience balancing a state budget, overseeing disaster response, or wrestling with the legal and moral dimensions of the death penalty. He hasn’t commanded a state National Guard or managed a federal agency or Cabinet office. He’s less than a third into his first six-year Senate term."

That led MSNBC "The Weekend" co-host Michael Steele to wonder why no one is talking about Vance's deficiencies.

After it was pointed out President Joe Biden's campaign plans to paint Vance as "extreme," Steele added, "I think in addition to extreme, I think there's a big question about experience, I mean, this guy is the least experienced individual to hold the office of nominee for the vice presidency and yet no one seems to be talking about that."

'He will be a vice president to a guy who will be 80 years old or 79 years old in a year and over the course of the next four years is he prepared to step in to run the united— you know, the United States?" he asked.

He later noted Vance's selection did lead to some "friction" among party insiders and added, "There was not a uniform or united view that he should be the choice, but Donald Trump wanted someone that he could control and he got it."

Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump, said that he would "take a bullet" for Secret Service agents after his father was shot at a rally earlier this month.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump if he had requested more security for his father.

Fox News hosts Rachel Campos-Duffy and Lisa Boothe defended Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump after he did not kiss his wife, Melania, on the lips at the Republican National Convention (RNC) last week.

Following Trump's speech at the RNC, Trump's wife walked out on stage, where the two shared an air kiss.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) claimed without evidence that the man who allegedly shot former President Donald Trump was "obviously working with someone."

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, Luna said she planned to press Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle about the background details of Thomas Crooks, the alleged gunman.

Reflecting on Donald Trump's speech at the recently concluded Republican National Convention and his rally appearance in Michigan on Saturday night, a conservative strategist asserted on MSNBC on Sunday morning that it appears we will be seeing a more "disciplined" and less "unhinged" ex-president on the campaign trail going forward.

Speaking with the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend," Brendan Buck conceded Trump will still say "weird things," but added it's possible Trump's people have finally reined him in.

That led Democratic pollster Fernand Amandi to laugh and suggest the former president "can't help himself" and that Trump will be his usual self.

"I frankly am still a little stuck on the questions Brandon was asked earlier: can Donald Trump not be unhinged? Can Donald Trump be disciplined going forward? Hello? Have we been watching Donald Trump for the last 10 years — are you kidding me?" Amandi laughed. "In that clip, that unfortunately we have to watch, which is actually a little bit fortunate just his convention speech was fortunate."

"Why?" he asked. "Because Donald Trump can't help himself. Donald Trump in every single remark every time he has an opportunity to go before voters at the cameras he gives the game away."

"You see the projection there, where he accuses Democrats of being fascists, Democrats of being the enemies of democracy, when what he is saying there is 'I am suffering from that charge, it is a problem and in my week, feeble, undisciplined, unhinged attempt, which is what he is and who he is, he will try it weekly say no, it is not me."

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy said one of her daughters was facing fears of a right-wing plan called Project 2025.

During a Fox & Friends Weekend discussion, host Pete Hegseth noted that Trump had disavowed the plan created by dozens of former Trump advisers and officials at the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Katie Phang Show," former GOP campaign consultant Tara Setmayer claimed the choice of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) should come as no surprise due to his attitude toward women's rights.

Speaking with the host, Setmayer pinned the label "mega MAGA misogynist" before documenting the Ohio Republican's history and what could happen if the Trump team wins in November.

According to both the host and Setmayer, the GOP convention was a decidedly anti-woman affair.

Pointing to the choice of Vance as a running mate, Setmayer stated, "This is the direction they are going in."
