Former GOP strategist turned Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson gave an emotional podcast from the Crown Room of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, at times choking up as he tore into former President Donald Trump as "a person who would use the honored graves of our military dead for a political stunt."

Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery, where the Trump campaign tried to stage a possibly illegal photo-op, "is a place of enormous emotional import," began Wilson — a place that holds many Iraq and Afghanistan war dead. "Young men and women, cut down in the prime of life, defending the country."

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale dismantled a new round of false claims made by former President Donald Trump, as the former president delivered a speech at a campaign rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

This came in response to Trump reversing course after appearing to suggest he would vote for the Florida amendment to protect abortion rights, reiterating that the state's six-week ban is "too short" but saying he can't vote for the measure because it would allow the execution of babies already born. That claim is false, and not allowed in any state.

Retired Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster was pressed on MSNBC on Friday afternoon on why he hasn't endorsed Kamala Harris for president given what he wrote about former President Donald Trump.

McMaster published his book about working in the White House as the short-lived National Security Advisor, which detailed Trump's recklessness. After walking through a number of questions about Trump, MSNBC's Katy Tur questioned why McMaster could give so many reasons that Trump should not be president but refuses to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.

Speaking with host José Díaz-Balart on Friday afternoon, a visibly frustrated Alexi McCammond launched into a scorching rant about Donald Trump's ever-shifting positions on abortion, calling his latest stance "crazy."

McCammond who serves as an MSNBC analyst in addition to her duties with Washington Post, told the panel that she sees no reason why anyone should take the former president at his word.

She began by praising NBC's Dasha Burns for cornering the former president about a 6-week ban in his home state of Florida which led the former president to state, “I think the six week is too short. It has to be more time. I told them that I want more weeks. I am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks."

That led the normally placid McCammond to complain, "I mean it's crazy. Kudos to Dasha for getting him on the record saying something that is as crazy as the most extreme positions he has taken on women and reproductive rights."

"I mean talk talk about a political flip-flop-flop!" she continued. "He thinks it is suddenly politically expedient to support women and our reproductive rights. He thinks it's suddenly politically expedient to say he'll protect women if he's re-elected — he'll pay for IVF treatments when his running mate is, you know, dumping on women who don't have their own biological children, when Republicans in the mold of his party have become so extreme that they are coming after birth control, Mifepristone, IVF, splitting hairs on different procedures that women and families need to take in desperate times to save lives to be able to even have a family."

Former congressional aide to two House speakers, Brendan Buck, said that it's clear Donald Trump has realized he's losing.

Trump has spent most of the past year and a half since announcing he was running playing golf, and doing a rally once a week. It doesn't appear to have worked out for him, according to Buck.

Donald Trump, in an apparent effort to distance himself and his campaign from his Arlington National Cemetery scandal, is throwing blame at Gold Star families and the Biden administration.

Asked if his campaign should have posted videos and photos from his event Monday at a ceremony with two Gold Star families, including at Section 60, one of the most hallowed areas in Arlington National Cemetery where photography is greatly restricted, Trump alleged he knew nothing about it.
