Like fellow co-defendants Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, attorney Jenna Ellis is avoiding state prison by agreeing to a plea deal in Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis' RICO/election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

GOP senator: 'I'm mad' Trump's Nazi-esque rhetoric 'wasn't tougher'

While many Republicans in the United States Senate expressed squeamishness about former President Donald Trump describing immigrants in the same way that Adolf Hitler once described Jews, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) thinks the former president needs to go even farther than that.

In an interview with The Independent's Eric Michael Garcia, Tuberville said that Trump could have gone much farther than claiming that immigrants are "poisoning the blood" of America.

Fox host excuses Trump's Hitleresque rhetoric: 'He's married to an immigrant'

Former President Donald Trump has taken criticism in recent days for saying that immigrants "poison the blood" of America, as such rhetoric directly echoes that employed in the past by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

On Fox Business Tuesday, host David Asman questioned fellow Fox host Bret Baier about the wisdom of employing such language, which he said was hard to defend even for people who support the former president.

GOPer whose defense of Trump was brutally fact-checked live on CNN gets slammed again

A GOPer who received a brutal check on live national television as she tried to defend Donald Trump’s much-criticized “poisoning the blood” rhetoric has been slapped down again.

Hours after Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) took a verbal gut-punch from CNN host Abby Phillip as she tried to blame Trump’s comment — which referred to immigrants and is similar to a quote from Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” — on Democratic polices, MSNBC laced up its gloves and jumped into the ring.

Latest effort to boot Trump from election ballot fails

North Carolina election officials say they don't have the authority to take up a new effort to keep Donald Trump off the state ballot, CBS 17 reported.

The complaint, filed by an attorney named Brian Marti, cites the 14th Amendment and says that Trump is not eligible to run for president because his actions surrounding Jan. 6 meant “he engaged in an insurrection against the constitution.” The clause disqualifies insurrectionists from holding public office.

‘Wake up while there’s still time’: Legal expert issues warning on ‘great danger’ of Trump

A well-known legal analyst, professor of law, and former U.S. Attorney issued a dire warning on the "great danger" of Donald Trump, acknowledging it is very possible he could win a second presidential term.

Joyce Vance, frequently seen on MSNBC and heard on the "SistersInLaw" podcast she co-hosts, on Tuesday, wrote: "Depending on where you live, it may seem impossible for the country to reelect Donald Trump. I hear that from a lot of people. But the truth is, it’s not. Some of our fellow citizens, inexplicably, do not see the fraud & risk of fascism in front of them."

'It’s inevitable': Columnist warns Trump's move to the right is just getting started

Donald Trump's comments during a recent rally in New Hampshire need to be taken seriously because, even if he doesn't win the presidency, his words are having "a destabilizing political impact" on the nation, CNN's Stephen Collinson wrote Tuesday.

According to Collinson, even if people are skeptical of the meaning behind Trump latest speech — compared to Hitler's Mein Kampf because he suggested immigrants are "poisoning the blood" of America — "his aberrant behavior also requires an understanding of his inflammatory aims and a sober evaluation of the exact threat he poses to democratic values around the world, which are under threat from autocracies in China, Russia, Iran and elsewhere."
