Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (R) took a shot at his former boss, Donald Trump, on Sunday by suggesting the former president was not a "true conservative."

Pompeo made the suggestion while appearing on Fox News Sunday with host Shannon Bream.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) called Susan Rice "militant" after President Joe Biden tasked her with heading an equity task force.

During an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Jackson reacted to Biden's executive order creating a White House Steering Committee on Equity that will be chaired by Rice.

NBC host Chuck Todd on Sunday pushed back against New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu's suggestion that all news networks lie to their viewers like Fox News did after then-President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

During an interview on Meet the Press, Todd asked Sununu about what News Corp owner Rupert Murdoch could do to regain trust in his network that was lost when on-air personalities lied about the election being stolen from Trump by hacked Dominion voting machines.

Former Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) revealed that he is not running for president because he does not want to help former President Donald Trump win a third nomination.

"I did give it serious consideration, and I talked to people everywhere, and I talked to my family, and it was a tough decision," Hogan told CBS correspondent Robert Costa in an interview that aired on Sunday. "I've decided that I will not be a candidate for the Republican nomination for president."

On MSNBC early Saturday morning, Former Democratic Senator Doug Jones (AL), who formerly served as a U.S. Attorney, stated that Fox News appears to have a losing case as it attempts to stave off a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems.

Speaking with "The Saturday Show" host Jonathan Capehart, the former senator claimed that it appears that Fox executives want to shift blame to their employees for spreading disinformation and attacks on Doniminion related to the 2020 presidential election, but internal Fox texts and emails will make that all but impossible.

On the heels of revelations that Fox News executives shared Democratic ads and debate strategy with Republicans in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, Democratic strategists are urging the party's leadership to cut the network off at the knees.

According to a report from Politico's Christopher Cadelago, the brief submitted by Dominion Voting Systems as part of their $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit not only showed that on-air personalities spewed election lies when they knew better, but "... a related deposition of the media empire’s chair, Rupert Murdoch, revealed that he shared private intel about Joe Biden’s campaign TV ads and provided debate strategy with top Trump advisers."

Reflecting on his interview with former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) who left politics and quickly accepted a position as a board member of the Fox Corporation, conservative Charlie Sykes admitted that he is bothered by Ryan's belief that he is, and has been, doing important work behind the scenes to tamp down the worst excesses of Fox News personalities.

In a column for the Bulwark, Sykes stated that Ryan is inordinately proud of the work done when he was still in office and Trump was running wild -- even though Sykes stated he could have done so much more by going public.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has lost control of his top-rated hosts at a crucial time for his Fox News network which has seen its credibility torn asunder by revelations they pushed 2020 election conspiracy lies while privately acknowledging they knew better.

In a column for Bloomberg, Erick Larson and Gerry Smith wrote that not only has Murdoch's influence diminished with keeping his employees in line, but his flagship network may not be much of a player when the 2024 presidential election comes around.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) declined on Thursday to say if her disagreements with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) had been resolved.

Earlier this year it was reported that Greene and Boebert exchanged words in a Capitol ladies room over support for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). Greene was said to have accused Boebert of being disloyal.

Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Chair Matt Schlapp, who has been accused of fondling a male staffer, on Thursday interviewed Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who has been implicated in a fondling scandal.

House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) suggested that he would seek contempt of Congress charges against Hunter Biden if the president's son does not comply with Republican demands for testimony, a deposition, or interviews.

On Wednesday, Comer told conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk that he would repurpose tactics the Jan. 6 Committee used by airing selectively edited interviews.

Conservative broadcaster Steve Bannon may have earned himself an FCC fine on Wednesday by blurting out a banned curse word during an angry rant at House Republicans.

On his Real America's Voice War Room program, Bannon complained about "deeply sick" House Republicans who support Ukraine.
