A CNN panel devolved into chaos on Thursday night as a discussion became heated when a political commentator and influencer asked Republicans on the panel how the party let it itself "get to a point" where there are no consequences for how its lawmakers behave.

The discussion started over a bombshell CNN report that surfaced comments purportedly made by North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, in which an account linked to Robinson proclaimed he was a "Black Nazi" and fantasized about owning slaves.

U.S. Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said Thursday that his fellow Ohio lawmaker — 2024 GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance — has stopped spreading the lie that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio are stealing and eating residents' cats and dogs. He has not.

"Should Trump and Vance stop lying about these migrants eating people's pets?" CNN's Jake Tapper asked.

Social media critics roundly denounced former President Donald Trump suggestion Thursday that if he loses the 2024 election to Vice President Kamala Harris, Jewish people would have a "lot to do with" it.

Trump made the comment at a summit about combating antisemitism in the country, which was hosted by Jewish philanthropist Miriam Adelson.

Republicans are suing in Pennsylvania to try to ensure voters have no way of counting their mail-in ballot if it includes minor technical errors, The New York Times reported on Thursday.

Furthermore, this suit, filed by the Republican National Committee against the Pennsylvania secretary of state and all 67 counties in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, would also deny voters who have errors on their mail ballots the right to cast a provisional ballot.

Amid a bombshell report outing North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson for espousing pro-Nazi and pro-slavery positions on internet message board posts, the state Republican Party is standing by him — accepting his denials verbatim and proclaiming voters will not care about the issue.

"Mark Robinson has categorically denied the allegations made by CNN but that won't stop the Left from trying to demonize him via personal attacks," the party said in a statement.

In a complaint to the Federal Election Commission, Long Island Democrats are demanding that former President Donald Trump and local Republicans reimburse taxpayers for security provided by local police, arguing that letting taxpayers foot the bill amounts to a large, illegal campaign contribution, reported Newsday.

The rally at the Coliseum, which seats 16,000 people, drew rally-goers early Wednesday as well as a large police presence, including police dogs, horse-mounted officers, an aviation unit and special operations, reported Candice Ferrette.

A Republican strategist and North Carolina native warned of the potential up-ballot fallout following a bombshell CNN report that surfaced damning comments made by Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson — and begged his party to "stop voting for cartoon candidates."

GOP insider Doug Heye joined CNN anchor Anderson Cooper to weigh in on the fallout after CNN reported Thursday that Robinson made comments on a pornographic website, including an anecdote of spying on a women's locker room and the statement "I'm a black NAZI." The comments were made on the site Nude Africa years before the Trump-endorsed candidate entered the public realm.

Analysts expect any economic impact of the first rate cut for four years to be modest, and some see it as having only a marginal impact on voting.

But that could still move the needle in an election where Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris is essentially tied with her Republican opponent, former president Donald Trump.

Vice President Kamala Harris was to hold a campaign rally Thursday night in a key battleground state with prominent talk show host Oprah Winfrey.

The rally, dubbed "Unite for America 2024," will have the women on stage in front of local voters. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was expected to attend, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Former President Donald Trump is losing his mental acuity, "Art of the Deal" co-author Tony Schwartz told MSNBC's Ari Melber on Thursday.

This is more apparent than ever after he was crushed in the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Schwartz argued.

A panel of longtime political commentators agreed that Donald Trump may have always been a little "crazy" or nutty in a laughable way, but they're now concerned he's "dribbling the apple sauce" — meaning they believe he is showing signs of a cognitive decline.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, former MSNBC host Donny Deutsch began by describing Trump as a laughable kind of disturbed.

Lawmakers are reacting to an explosive new scandal embroiling Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC) as he seeks the gubernatorial mansion in his state.

CNN's KFILE reported that Robinson, prior to entering politics, proclaimed himself a "Black Nazi" and fantasized about owning slaves on a message board for the pornographic site Black Africa.
