A former Fox News anchor ripped into President Donald Trump's continued efforts to put his name on the Kennedy Center.

During a Thursday appearance on CNN, Gretchen Carlson said that Trump's insistence that his name appear on the Kennedy Center facade is tiring out the American public. Even though a federal judge rebuked his effort in May, the Trump-allied board moved to restore his name to the facade with an inscription crediting Trump with renovating and restoring the center, and Justice Department lawyers warned the center could be "required to be taken down" if the renovation and naming effort is blocked.

"This is disrespectful. This is repugnant," Carlson said. "The American people are completely tired of these shenanigans. He didn't build this."...

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson called out the shot caller keeping Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche from killing the anti-weaponization fund.

Blanche is courting the Senate Judiciary Committee to secure the role of President Donald Trump's attorney general, but he has stopped short of making key concessions that would help make him a shoo-in.

Carlson noted that Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) told Blanche to meet with Epstein survivors to secure his vote, and Blanche responded by holding that meeting shortly after. However, Carlson said, "he apparently wasn't even nice in the particular meeting that he was basically told to have," as Epstein survivors reported that Blanche told them to "get to the point."...

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson unloaded on Graham Platner's denial of damning allegations as he suspended his campaign.

Platner announced he's suspending his Democratic campaign for a Senate seat in Maine via an eleven-minute video. On CNN, Carlson slammed his comments as a "disgusting display" and called on him to "take accountability."

After months of controversies plaguing Platner's campaign to unseat Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), the Democratic nominee decided to suspend his campaign because of accusations of sexual assault that came out earlier this week, which led to supporters like Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) pulling their endorsements and calling on him to withdraw....

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has almost "no way" of securing the permanent AG job, according to a former Fox News anchor.

On CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360," Gretchen Carlson weighed in on the idea of Blanche continuing in his post at the head of the Department of Justice after his confirmation hearing.

Carlson pointed out that "the Senate Judiciary Committee holds the power for this nomination," and Blanche's only chance of winning them over is if he gets rid of Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund....

The Department of Justice's crusade against President Donald Trump's enemies left ex-Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson visibly upset as she spoke about it on CNN.

"What the hell is the Justice Department doing?" Carlson said, talking about the DOJ's new criminal investigation against E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexual abuse. "What are they actually doing for the citizens of the United States of America?"

Carlson mentioned her lawsuit ten years ago against Fox News for sexual harassment and stated that the issue reached a "personal level" for her....

In an interview with Gretchen Carlson on her afternoon show on Fox News, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) blamed the swirling negative political fallout from the Republican shutdown of the federal government on "Ted Cruz and his acolytes." King, like many on the right Tuesday, looked bug-eyed with alarm at the negative feedback that Republicans have been getting for shutting down the federal government to score political points.
