A MAGA commentator turned an entire table full of pundits against him for his attack on a foe of President Donald Trump.

Terry Schilling went after columnist E. Jean Carroll while debating Trump's request for the Supreme Court to hear his case to overturn her defamation victory. Carroll won an $83.3 million suit against Trump and a federal appeal after Trump attacked her for claiming he sexually assaulted her.

A panel of political analysts recoiled in disgust at MAGA attacks against a Supreme Court justice.

CNN anchor Abby Phillip shared online comments about Amy Coney Barrett in the wake of the Supreme Court decision to block Trump's efforts to kill birthright citizenship.

"Amy Coney Barrett is the poster child for why we need to repeal the Nineteenth Amendment," wrote West Virginia congressional candidate and convicted January 6er Derrick Evans, referring to the amendment that gives women the right to vote, in a post shared by Phillip....
