After attacking former Trump White House chief of staff John Kelly of being a "disgruntled " ex-employee seeking revenge because Trump fired him, Vance stated, "If he was what John Kelly said he [Trump] was then why did Donald Trump deliver peace and prosperity. He didn't arrest his political opponents as Kamala Harris and the Department of the Justice have in fact done."

"There's no evidence, there is no evidence of that," Welker interrupted as the Ohio Republican tried to talk over her.

"The Department of Justice has not been going after political political opponents?" Vance parried.

"Senator, there is no evidence of that," the host replied.

"The current Department of Justice under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden has absolutely been going after their political opponents of the current Democratic party and I think it's a disgrace, but it's happening," Vance insisted.

"There's no evidence that the DOJ is going after their political opponents. Donald Trump was indicted by federal grand juries," the NBC host shot back.

They 'don't know jack': Former GOP official trashes Trump's voter outreach efforts

Reacting to a report from MSNBC's Vaughan Hillard that Donald Trump's ground game in getting out voters is more than lacking, former RNC chair Michael Steele claimed the people put in charge have no idea what they are doing.

As Hillyard explained, the Trump campaign is scrambling now after pouring too much of its resources into stopping election fraud and not enough on making sure voters will turn out.

After pointing out that the two organizations tasked by the RNC with getting out GOP voters have no "wins" to boast about, Steele, co-host of MSNBC's "The Weekend," jumped in.

"Donald Trump is coming back to his known familiar environment and if he wants to stay here for nine days, I'll make sure he's got tickets to Broadway ... maybe that will help inspire him to do the right thing," she joked.

Trump flirting with 'doomsday scenario' in third bid for office: report

With the 2024 presidential election nine days away, former president Donald Trump may see his third bid for the Oval Office fall short because one of his most reliable group of voters are sending signals that they may stay home on election day.

According to a report from Politico's Adam Wren, evangelical voters are losing interest in the former president with some turned off by his latest campaign that has taken a turn for the vulgar as he reaches out to young men.

In his recent “Believers and Ballots” town hall in Georgia the former president hinted that he is not confident that evangelicals will come to his rescue this time when he complained, "Christians are not tremendous voters in terms of percentage."

That Trump comment came in response to a question about a recent report from Christian pollster George Barna that projected 32 million evangelical voters may take a pass on this election.

As Wren put it, that would be a "doomsday scenario" for Trump who needs a win over Vice President Kamala Harris to not only return to the presidency but also to make a large swath of his legal problems go away.

According to the report, the former president is attempting to put together a "Frankenstein coalition" where evangelicals will find common ground with young men steeped in their own raucous – and less than Christian – culture.

That is a tall task explained John Shelton, policy director for Advancing American Freedom.
