Retired Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster was pressed on MSNBC on Friday afternoon on why he hasn't endorsed Kamala Harris for president given what he wrote about former President Donald Trump.

McMaster published his book about working in the White House as the short-lived National Security Advisor, which detailed Trump's recklessness. After walking through a number of questions about Trump, MSNBC's Katy Tur questioned why McMaster could give so many reasons that Trump should not be president but refuses to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump denied having anything to do with the death of the border bill that Republicans and Democrats negotiated at the end of 2023 and in the spring of 2024.

"Borders. They should focus on borders. You know, the House bill that was passed — that's the real bill that should be passed," Trump said. "Then you get on the original one and not this horrible one that was hoisted upon us by some people that had a bad day. But, uh, they should focus on borders and elections and if you can't get the borders right, and if you can't get the elections right they ought to close it up. Just close it up and let it sit."

Speaking on Monica Crowley's podcast on Friday, former President Donald Trump went on a long rant about election integrity in the United States, which he once again claimed was rife with fraud.

During his tirade, Trump demanded that House Republicans pass the so-called "SAVE Act" that's aimed at curtailing illegal voting -- and he said the GOP should "shut down the government" if the Senate wouldn't go along.

Former President Donald Trump's stunt at Arlington National Cemetery was reprehensible, wrote Kevin Carroll, a senior counselor to John Kelly during the Trump administration, in a new analysis for The Guardian.

The Trump campaign, by some reports, tried to stage a fake memorial service for fallen troops in Afghanistan in the cemetery and then attack Vice President Kamala Harris for not attending it, only to be thwarted by the fact that such a campaign event is illegal to photograph in that portion of the cemetery, and end up quarreling with caretakers.

Speaking with host José Díaz-Balart on Friday afternoon, a visibly frustrated Alexi McCammond launched into a scorching rant about Donald Trump's ever-shifting positions on abortion, calling his latest stance "crazy."

McCammond who serves as an MSNBC analyst in addition to her duties with Washington Post, told the panel that she sees no reason why anyone should take the former president at his word.

She began by praising NBC's Dasha Burns for cornering the former president about a 6-week ban in his home state of Florida which led the former president to state, “I think the six week is too short. It has to be more time. I told them that I want more weeks. I am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks."

That led the normally placid McCammond to complain, "I mean it's crazy. Kudos to Dasha for getting him on the record saying something that is as crazy as the most extreme positions he has taken on women and reproductive rights."

"I mean talk talk about a political flip-flop-flop!" she continued. "He thinks it is suddenly politically expedient to support women and our reproductive rights. He thinks it's suddenly politically expedient to say he'll protect women if he's re-elected — he'll pay for IVF treatments when his running mate is, you know, dumping on women who don't have their own biological children, when Republicans in the mold of his party have become so extreme that they are coming after birth control, Mifepristone, IVF, splitting hairs on different procedures that women and families need to take in desperate times to save lives to be able to even have a family."
