A Washington Post fact-check shredded Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance on Wednesday after he repeated a Donald Trump falsehood that the ex-president built 12,000 factories in his four years in office.

"If you go back to the Trump presidency, we had 12,000 factories that were built during Donald Trump’s presidency," Vance told "Meet the Press" in a Sunday interview.

The faces of European influencers have been slapped on a slew of pro-Donald Trump social media accounts raising concerns that hostile state actors from countries such as Russia or China may be trying to sow disinformation ahead of the 2024 presidential election, a new investigative report found.

CNN collaborated with the Centre for Information Resilience on a deep-dive global investigation into the theft of 17 real European women's identities who have said they have no interest in supporting Trump's presidential campaign.

Donald Trump outraged veterans and legal experts Wednesday with a new social post that they say disrespects U.S. service members who died in the line of duty — and may have violated federal law.

Trump posted to TikTok a video montage of his visit Monday to Arlington National Cemetery, where he spurred outrage for a gravesite thumbs-up and possibly broke a law that restricts political campaign activity on military burial grounds.

Having drawn so much scathing criticism since being chosen as Donald Trump's running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) has been trying to soften his image by visiting small businesses on the campaign trail — including a bakery in Georgia.

But the visit did not go well. When Vance, accompanied by U.S. Secret Service agents, entered the business, one of the employees said she did not want to be on camera.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Wednesday continued to attack President Joe Biden for the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan -- but during his remarks, Vance seemed to confuse the gate where a suicide bomber killed 13 American soldiers with a street in London made famous by the Beatles.

During a campaign event, Vance was asked about an incident at Arlington National Cemetery when officials of the cemetery told Trump's campaign that they couldn't take photos in the Iraq and Afghanistan section and that no political activity could happen on cemetery grounds.

Conservative commentator Matt Lewis lamented on the latest episode of his podcast with Washington Monthly's Bill Scher about how his longtime Republican Party has devolved into a cult of "weird" people who now set the agenda and have chased any reasonable, serious people out of the fold.

This came as they discussed the fact that former President Donald Trump has been toying with the idea of replacing Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, already himself a bit of a fringe figure, with conspiracy theorist and former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on his ticket.

Longtime Democratic operative and digital fundraiser Mike Nellis revealed on Wednesday that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) had subpoenaed information from his company Authentic Campaigns and one of the company's employees.

The subpoena is related to Republicans' claims that Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan cannot oversee Trump's case because of his daughter's work at Authentic Campaigns.

Chaos erupted at a town council meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey after an angry Trump supporter made racist remarks against a resident, reported Staten Island Live.

At issue was a controversial change to local parking rules. Earlier this month, the town council unanimously voted to abolish parking on Clucas Brook Road, a road near former President Donald Trump's golf club which is commonly used for parking by people attending rallies for Trump held on the grounds of a local library.

CNN's Scott Jennings and other conservatives were met with backlash for suggesting that Kamala Harris was too "weak" to conduct a sit-down interview without her running mate Tim Walz.

Media figures and Republicans have been complaining since before the Democratic National Convention that the vice president had not taken part in an extensive interview after taking over the campaign from President Joe Biden, and Jennings attacked her for agreeing to a joint interview Thursday with CNN's Dana Bash.
