Push Notification

During an appearance on CNN's "Inside Politics," to discuss Donald Trump's recent conviction on 34 felony counts, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) used the opportunity to bash Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and say the Florida Republican is the one who should actually be on trial.

After host Manu Raju brought up the eight GOP House members who were at the forefront of ousting McCarthy from his long sought-after speaker's chair, McCarthy singled out Gaetz who has been under investigation for sexual relations with underaged women.

According to McCarthy, Gaetz's House rabblerousing in the chamber was designed to deflect from his own ethical problems.

"Why do you want him out? Is it simply because he led the charge to push you out?" the host asked.

"No, I just don't think Gaetz is a conservative," McCarthy shot back. "I mean, if you think about it, if there's anybody who should go to trial, I mean, Gaetz is one who should be convicted at a trial. "

"Why? Why do you say that?" the CNN host pressed.

"We all know the challenge here, you can't sleep with under-age women and think you can get away with it," McCarthy explained.

"He denies that," Raju countered

"Well, the women don't and so there's people in jail because of it," McCarthy elaborated. "I just don't think that is an individual who should be representing in Congress and I don't think the constituents would want that either."

ABC News host George Stephanopoulos grilled Will Scharf, Donald Trump's attorney, during an interview on Sunday.

Throughout the interview, the host repeatedly rejected Scharf's suggestion that President Joe Biden orchestrated Trump's conviction in New York.

Eric Trump warned that his father was becoming a "martyr" because he was convicted in a recent hush money trial.

During a Sunday interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Trump complained about his father's sentencing, which is scheduled just days before the Republican National Convention.

During an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," RNC co-chair Lara Trump raised her voice and yelled over guest host Kasie Hunt when she was asked about the Manhattan jury unanimously finding Donald Trump guilty on 34 felony counts.

The interview with the convicted felon Trump's daughter-in-law started calmly enough until Hunt contradicted her by pointing it was a jury that convicted the former president and not President Joe Biden or Judge Juan Merchan.

That set off Lara Trump who went into a furious rant while at the same time refusing to answer the host's questions or even acknowledge them.

Midway through Lara Trump's breathless rant, host Hunt managed to fit in, "I asked you about the jury," which led the RNC co-chair to snap "I'm not done!"

Moments later, Hunt interrupted once more, asking, "Again, I asked you about the jury; the normal Americans who are part of this. Do you think it's not possible for anyone to get a fair trial by a jury?"

"I think that this judge should have never been presiding over this case. He weighed the entire case in the eyes of the jury, and then he gave the jury instructions that were incredibly leading," Trump parried. "And you can't blame the jury they were doing what he told them to do. So from the beginning, this case, whether you're talking about the judge, the venue, the instructions given, or the fact that a key witness that would have exonerated Donald Trump and shown what a waste of time this entire case ultimately was, the judge wouldn't allow in."

NBC guest host Peter Alexander pushed back against Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) after he suggested Donald Trump's conviction in a New York hush money trial was rigged.

Alexander began the Sunday interview on Meet the Press by correcting Cotton.

The entire panel on MSNBC's "The Weekend" reacted with dismay and disgust after watching a clip of Donald Trump seemingly approving of violence if Judge Juan Merchan sends him to jail as the result of his conviction on 34 felony counts.

In a taped interview with the hosts of Fox & Friends run early Sunday morning, the former president was asked what the impact of his jailing would have throughout the country and he blithely replied, ""I don't know that the public would stand it, you know, I don't. I think I think it would be tough for the public to take, you know at a certain point, there's a breaking point."

That led noted historian Michael Beschloss to bluntly say the embattled former president is encouraging violence among his rabid followers.

"He goes on to say at a certain point there is a breaking point," co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend prompted. "We have never seen something like this before in the United States from a former U.S. president. Even Richard Nixon did not go this far."

"Not a bit," Beschloss replied. "Did you see Eisenhower do something like this? 'Let's have domestic terrorism to resolve who's going to be the next president'? This is a thread that goes through Donald Trump back to the early rallies of late 2015. Remember when he used to say— and this was novel at the time and it has become old hat with him — 'Look at those reporters in the hall, mainstream press are bad people.' The audience would boo and some were worried that there would be violence by some in the hall against reporters and other journalists who were trying to report on what was going on."

Former President Donald Trump, a convicted felon, suggested that a jail sentence would be a "breaking point" that leads to violence from his supporters.

Trump made the remarks during a Fox News interview aired Sunday.

According to a study conducted by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW), the closer the November election grows the more Donald Trump is expanding his enemies list with an eye on retaliation should he be reelected.

The study looked at posts on his Truth Social account, which also included his "re-truthing" of his followers posts aimed at his critics, which CREW points out are "under the radar" due to Truth Social's limited reach compared to larger platforms such as Facebook or TikTok.
