Fox News host Griff Jenkins confronted a Republican candidate running for former Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-FL) vacated congressional seat after Democrats dramatically outspent him in the race.

"There's only two ways to run in a campaign, and that is either behind or scared," GOP candidate Jimmy Patronis explained to Jenkins on Sunday. "And we are running hard."

After watching a clip of a popular Fox News host attempt to blow off the "Signalgate" scandal currently afflicting Donald Trump's administration, a former Republican member of the House brutally ripped the excuses apart.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," ex-Rep Denver Riggleman (R-VA) took his cue from co-host Michael Steele who referred to Fox host Jesse Watter's comments about Trump officials exposing war planning details to a journalist as a "bucket of stupid."

In the clip from Wednesday Watters complained, "No one outside of D.C. and in the news business really cares about this story. There's no video. There's no sex. there's no fraud –– no one even knows what a Houthi is!"

"What say you, Denver?" Steele prompted his guest. "You know, you were an officer in our military. You served in very secret places. You served in Congress. You know what that chat was and what that chat wasn't."

That led Riggleman to smirk, "Thanks for that, Michael and everybody. That's a large bucket of stupid to navigate, so I appreciate that."

"When you're looking at when he says nothing outside of the Beltway, nobody cares outside the Beltway, there's a lot of military bases outside the Beltway. And when you are a former military officer, and you also did air operations, and you were in 9/11 and Operation Allied Force, and you know what those things were on those Signal chat, you start to get this idea that maybe they've made these mistakes in the past and they're going to make them in the future."


"Let me give you an example," he elaborated. "Everybody's time over target ––that's classified. The airframes that are actually going into that area? That's classified. The specific targets? That's classified."

"All I hear is what a bunch of idiots this crew is," he later added.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo pressed White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett about how President Donald Trump's "tariffs on screws" were "going to raise prices" for consumers.

During a Sunday interview, Hassett admitted that he had little idea what new economic policies Trump would impose in the coming week.

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, revealed that Vice President J.D. Vance believes President Donald Trump "doesn't even understand what he's doing."

On Sunday, Goldberg told NBC host Kristen Welker that he observed Vance's opinion of Trump after being mistakenly included on a Signal chat about a U.S. attack on Yemen.

Fox News host Shannon Bream challenged White House trade adviser Peter Navarro after he insisted that President Donald Trump's tariffs were "tax cuts."

During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Bream noted that Trump had said he "couldn't care less" if car prices increase because of his tariffs.

Alina Habba, counselor to the president and his former lawyer, initially told Donald Trump that she did not want to be appointed as interim U.S. attorney for the district of New Jersey.

In an announcement earlier this month, Trump said he had given Habba the position "effective immediately."

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) urged Republicans to pass a law defunding PBS and NPR because he feared Democrats would soon take back control of the U.S. House of Representatives after the 2026 midterm elections.

During a Wednesday interview on the Christian-centric Washington Watch program, Burchett told host Tony Perkins that his show "wouldn't want" to receive federal dollars like public broadcasting stations.

Brian Glenn, the Real America's Voice reporter dating Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), flew into a rage because people say he might be an alcoholic because he has a "puffy face."

Glenn discussed the topic during a Thursday segment about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's drinking habits.

Donald Trump is angry at someone in the White House over the recent scandal involving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sharing detailed military operations plans to a Signal group that unintentionally included a reporter, according to MSNBC.

The outlet's "Morning Joe" show began with a discussion of baseball before jumping into talks involving the sensitive Houthi attack plans that were made public by people at the Atlantic.

President Donald Trump blamed "bad people" for an unflattering portrait of him that was hung in Colorado's state Capitol building.

After complaining about the portrait on his Truth Social platform, he took to Newsmax to air additional grievances.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied that he had shared "war plans" after accidentally texting secret military information to a reporter ahead of a strike on Yemen.

During a rant on an airport tarmac Wednesday, Hegseth suggested he had been acquitted of wrongdoing after The Atlantic described his text messages as "attack plans" instead of "war plans."

Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich grilled White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt after the Trump administration accidentally shared secret war plans with a journalist from The Atlantic.

During Wednesday's White House briefing, Heinrich wondered why Leavitt had insisted that nothing on the leaked chat was classified when it included information like weapons systems and strike launch times.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) suggested that Steve Bannon's network, Real America's Voice (RAV), Newsmax, and Fox News could receive federal funding to offset tax dollars provided to PBS and NPR.

During a Wednesday hearing before the Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee, Burchett posed the question about federal funds for conservative outlets.
