Charlie Kirk Show Host: 'Nobody Wanted Renee Good To Die More Than The Left'

John Amato — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:15:51 +0000

Blake Neff and Andrew Kolvet, replacement co-hosts for The Charlie Kirk show went off the deep end when they defended ICE murders and claimed "nobody wanted Renee Good to die more than the left."

These remarks took place during a long debate with The Bulwark's Tim Miller over many topics including the violence, chaos, and death caused by Stephen Miller's secret police.

Andrew Kolvet whines that labeling masked ICE agents as the Gestapo gave justification for Renee Good and Alex Pretti to be murdered.

The Real America's Voice co-hosts claimed there are coordinated networks set up to obstruct and provoke ICE into violence and the real problem is sanctuary cities.

"You're calling them Nazis. You're calling them all these, you're dehumanizing them and guess what happens? A bunch of crazy people go and try and put their bodies on the line or ram them with their cars and bad things are gonna happen So putting that all on ICE, putting that all on Federal law..." Kolvet said, without mentioning ICE officers' face masks, lack of identification and brutality.

Then it got real ugly.

NEFF: Nobody wanted Renee Good to die more than the left. I think that's very obvious. They have made plans-

MILLER: That's an insane thing to say.

NEFF: No, that is not an insane thing to say. They directly encourage these people with their de-arrest tactics.

MILLER: That's really offensive, actually.

Mike Lawler Stunned When Asked If Gov. Hochul Started Iran War

John Amato — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 23:22:16 +0000

During a CNN interview this morning, New York Republican Mike Lawler failed to blame New York's governor and his opponent in the upcoming midterm elections for the cost of energy that has skyrocketed after Trump attacked Iran.

Lawler blamed the typical ghosts of Republican lies, claiming Democrats shut down nuclear power, natural gas, and pipelines, which is the only reason all energy costs are high.

Wanting to transition away from fossil fuels isn't a negative, but that doesn't mean his opponent, Cait Conley, wants to end gas production immediately if Democrats take Congress.

Idgit!

Then Lawler made it seem like the Trump administration has been successful "delivering" for the people with his Big Ugly Bill and no tax on tips. Still, when the topic turned towards the high cost of energy, the Republican lawmaker was forced to backpedal.

CNN host John Berman could have debunked his lies, but instead pulled up a graphic Lawler couldn't refute.

BERMAN: You're talking about energy prices, gas prices, and the changes in them. This is where gas prices changed over the last year, at the start of the Iran war.

Before the Iran war, the national price for a gallon of gas was $2.98.

I just looked this morning, it's $4.24 this morning. Did Kathy Hochul start the war with Iran?

LAWLER: Oh, John.

That was a perfect reaction. Lawler didn't want to talk about gas prices, so he switched to all energy costs.

Ashley Hinson Hires The Golden Girls For New Ad

Ed Scarce — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 23:17:53 +0000

To help refute the nagging claim that Iowa Senate hopeful Ashley Hinson is not corrupt AF by getting rich through her time in Congress, the Hinson campaign enlisted a troupe of Florida actresses to play concerned Iowa voters. Pretty standard fare for political ads these days, but just another irritant in what's expected to be a close Senate race in Florida...er, I meant Iowa. Well, at least Ashley Hinson's McMansion is in the state, unlike the Republican Gubernatorial candidate, Zach Lahn, who still lives in Kansas.

Source: Newsweek

A profanity-filled advert by Ashley Hinson, Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Iowa, has taken aim at Democratic nominee Josh Turek with a series of senior women saying that he is “full of s***” and “f*** him.”

The ad was released by Hinson on social media on Wednesday, along with the caption: “Josh Turek is full of it. Just watch.”

The race to replace retiring Republican Senator Joni Ernst has emerged as a closely watched Senate battleground, leaving Hinson and Turek locked in a toss-up contest in a state President Donald Trump won by 13 points in 2024.

The Ad That Backfired For Susan Collins

Ed Scarce — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 20:03:16 +0000

You might think that, in a state where 13.5% of homes use wood as their primary heating source and roughly 50% of households use firewood for some or all of their heating needs, Susan Collins would exhibit some understanding of the state's current cost-of-living crisis and show a little empathy. But if you thought that, you'd be wrong.

Source: New York Times

Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a vulnerable Republican, has been airing a 30-second ad that shows a retired Maine sportscaster, Bill Green, hailing her as “one of the most decent and honest people I know.” But Democrats have been circulating the commercial today, believing voters will recoil at a line from Green dismissing their nominee, Troy Jackson, a logger.

“We’re not talking about buying a cord of wood here,” Green says. “We’re sending to someone to the U.S. Senate.”

Jackson posted the ad on his own social media account, writing that Collins was “a little out of touch” and that the election “is about a cord of wood — and about Mainers struggling to afford to heat their homes this winter.”

Reached by phone, Green said the ad was his effort “to in 25 seconds say that being a United States senator is more complex and more difficult than the kinds of things Troy Jackson’s dealt with in his lifetime.” He added that Jackson was “in over his head.”

Klepper Torches Trump For Falling Right Into Obama's Trap

Conover Kennard — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 19:20:37 +0000

Donald J. Trump just can't help himself.

Former President Barack Obama recently mocked Trump's obsession with renovating the White House, joking that the gold-plated decor made it look like Saddam Hussein had opened a Cheesecake Factory. He also suggested Trump should take his home-improvement fixation to HGTV.

"He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory!" Obama said. "Just gold everywhere. So, he's clearly not focused on lowering prices for you."

The joke sent MAGA world into a tailspin, and Trump couldn't stop himself from joining the tantrum. But as The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper pointed out, the president was falling right into Obama's trap.

“Remember, Obama’s original criticism was that you are obsessed with home renovations, and you don’t want to fall into his trap,” Klepper said before playing footage of Trump rambling about his obsession.

Trump continued meandering about the White House renovations, boasting about the repairs and the supposedly world-class artisans he'd hired.

The Older Trump Gets, The More NSFW He Gets, And It's Congregation As A BunchThe Older Trump Gets, The More NSFW He Gets, And It's Congregation As A Bunch Of Wokeossing Everyone Out'' Out OutTouch Liberalsrals

They pretend they love Christians until they disagree with them. Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall, who looks like he's trying his best to lose his race these days, made an appearance on Newsmax this Tuesday, and decided to go after his opponent's congregation at his Methodist church as being too "woke" because they don't hate trans people enough to suit him.

He also went nuts, along with host Rob Finnerty, over comments by Adam Hamilton about white privilege and proved that it's the two of them who are completely out of touch with the way they tried to twist Hamilton's words in response.

Here's the entire pathetic exchange:

FINNERTY: Here's another one from Adam Hamilton, another one of his greatest hits. Take a look.

HAMILTON: I grew up in a way that I'm blind to certain things in our society. I just am. And I have certain benefits by virtue of being educated, white and male. Right? And we don't like to hear that, especially white folks don't like to hear that. [...]

When I'm stopped by the police, I'm never afraid that they're going to pull a gun on me. [...]

Before I can do anything to help anyone else, I have to have a conversion. I have to repent.

Guys, Grandpa's being super, duper yucky again.

Listen, I make absolutely no claims to know the depths and nuances of Donald J. Trump's sexuality.

I genuinely do not even want to know, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Literally, please, don't ever tell me.

I honestly wish I'd never even had to see this...

Last night, Trump made a pit stop in Corpus Christi, Texas, to stump for the Lone Star State's most embarrassing crook and adulterer, Ken Paxton, in his Senate run against beloved Democratic challenger James Talarico, who recently took a few days off from the campaign trail due to being down with a bad case of the flu.

Paxton and his team tried desperately to frame Talarico's brief absence as a severe mental health crisis, going so far as to suggest that Talarico spent those days inside a mental health facility and was trying to cover it up with claims of a run-of-the-mill virus.

But it seems the president has another theory... and I really, REALLY don't like it.

Trump has long attempted to falsely claim that Talarico is a vegan, and suggested in last night's rally speech that the Democratic candidate's absence from the trail was actually a result of being sickened by eating meat.

That alone is weird enough. Because why is Donald Trump so deeply and bizarrely obsessed with what this man eats? Nevertheless, he so very unfortunately did not stop there.

I truly, deeply apologize for what you're about to witness.

RFK Jr. Spits His Islamophobia All Over Michigan Voters

John Amato — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 15:48:00 +0000

During a rally in Grand Rapids at Kent County GOP headquarters on Monday, RFK Jr's racism exploded all over rallygoers while he was speaking in support of Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. The HHS Secretary went out of his way to smear the entire Arab population as good-for-nothing terrorists.

The only avenue of criticism Republicans can use against Abdul El-Sayed is one of hatred as they try and smear him by characterizing him as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood to fearmonger and frighten voters.

RFK, Jr. took it to a new level.

RFK: There's 500 million Arabs in the world, and yet they don't produce science, they don't win the Nobel Prize, they don't win the Field Prize, they don't win the Wolf Prize, they don't produce literature.

They used to produce, they were the first to make books.

In the 13th century, typical Muslim princes had books in their libraries that existed in all of Europe.

Oh, and all of that tradition has been destroyed by the Muslim Brotherhood.

They've created stagnant societies that do one, two things, hatred and war and victimization.

RFK Jr's racism is palpable.

He was instantly rebuked.

Not Only Is Ken Paxton Super Corrupt, He's Also Extremely Stupid

Andrea Thompson — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 14:57:47 +0000

"It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool than to talk and remove all doubt of it." -- Sage advice that Ken Paxton has clearly never taken to heart.

During a Corpus Christie rally last night, as he prepares to go head-to-head with his beloved Democratic challenger James Talarico in the Texas Senate race, Attorney General turned MAGA Senate Candidate Ken Paxton was attempting to wrap up his remarks when he told the crowd that, on July 4th, "we celebrated something pretty cool."

"We celebrated the 200th anniversary of our country," he bragged.

The only problem? He was off by a whole half a century.

In fact, the United States of America actually turned 250 years old on this year's Independence Day. Everyone, including Paxton, should certainly know as much, considering the absolute mockery his own Dear Leader Donald Trump attempted to make out of it as he tried like hell to turn this nation's birthday into a MAGA clusterfuck.

Paxton: On July 4th, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of our country. https://t.co/i8tKgyPuV6

DOJ Alaska Lawsuit So Corrupt JD Vance Can't Justify It

John Amato — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 13:55:17 +0000

During JD Vance's media gaggle, the VP dissed Alaska's voters by claiming the moronic DOJ lawsuit against Alaska was necessary because voters there have jobs, are busy, have lives and they may get confused over two similar candidate names.

The DOJ says, "the State of Alaska should not be permitted to certify its results “pending an investigation” to determine whether any votes cast for the one Sullivan were meant for another."

This is outrageous and an petty attempt to steal an election away from voters. How would they even know how voters voted when it's a secret ballot? What an insulting suggestion on Vance's part.

Trump admitted he told the DOJ to file the lawsuit which should discount it immediately.

The three candidates, who they are, and what party they are from are clearly marked on the ballot. Trump said voters don't know what the word "incumbent" means to justify his corruption. Doesn't Vance believe Alaskans can chew gum and vote at the same time?

Q: Mr. Vice President, why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration appears to be suggesting they can't read the word incumbent on their ballots and know to vote for Senator Sullivan?

Another Attempt To Weaponize The Justice Department Fails For Dear Leader

Heather — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 12:57:23 +0000

The DOJ's latest attempt to appease Dear Leader by prosecuting his enemies has blown in in their faces. So much for that saying about indicting a ham sandwich.

Justice Department fails to indict former White House aide over her testimony about Trump and Jan. 6, sources say:

Justice Department prosecutors on Tuesday tried and failed to secure a grand jury indictment of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson over her testimony about President Donald Trump’s role in the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Hutchison was a key witness for the special House committee investigating the riot. Her explosive 2022 testimony implicated Trump, saying he was aware of the potential for violence that day, but still chose to move ahead with a speech urging his supporters to march to the Capitol.

Attorneys for Hutchinson didn’t respond to requests for comment.

EXPOSED: Repulsive Posts From Whiskey Pete's Spiritual Advisor Resurface

Andrea Thompson — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 12:14:51 +0000

Tucked among the ranks of Pete Hegseth's Pentagon is a man named Ryan Higgins, a senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense who has been credited with helping Whiskey Pete mold and shape the extremist, evangelical agenda inside the United States military, and who also just so happens to be a batshit insane, racist, bigoted, hate-fueled conspiracy theorist.

Quelle surprise.

CNN dropped one hell of a bombshell investigation this week, exposing Higgins' truly disgusting social media history, in which he viciously and proudly attacks immigrants, gay couples, and women -- all while supposedly leading the Pentagon to righteousness.

Multiple inside sources spoke with the publication and confirmed that Higgins, who vehemently rejects the notion of separation between church and state, maintains a heavy hand in Hegseth's religious messaging -- including the Defense Secretary's repeated assertions that military readiness cannot be adequately achieved without spiritual strength -- as well as the development of the new, unsettling Office of Religious Affairs.

As it turns out, this is the same Higgins whose social media feed reads like a 4chan board.

Brent Taylor Calls Dick Pics Sent At Age 53 ‘Youthful Indiscretion’

NewsHound Ellen — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 11:20:00 +0000

50 may be the new 30 to some people but even a 30-year-old has to know that it’s the height of sleaziness for Tennessee Sen. Brent Taylor to have sent unsolicited, nude photos to multiple women, while he was married.

But Taylor, now a MAGA Congressional candidate, was 53 when he engaged in that behavior.

Instead of taking the kind of personal responsibility Republicans are always demanding of others, Taylor is trying to sweep his behavior under the rug by calling it “youthful indiscretion.” It wasn’t just one “indiscretion” but many. “Multiple sources say they had received or seen nude photos from Taylor, who is running for U.S. Congress in Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District,” the Nashville Scene reported.

“As I near 60 years old, the expiration date has come and gone on any of my youthful indiscretions,” Taylor told the Scene. “My god and my wife have forgiven me, and I would consider everyone else doing the same.” He tried to argue to Memphis’ ABC24 that it really shows what a great Christian he is. “What this shows is my Christian and my wife’s Christian redemption from having an indiscretion and working through it together,” he said.

The Message That Beats Trump

Cliff Schecter — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 11:19:42 +0000

With the midterms eight days out, Cliff Schecter talks with Bob Cesca and Joe Walsh to share his read on the map. He expects a big night—“a 50-year storm”—with a couple of Republicans surviving the wave and a Democratic surprise somewhere nobody's watching.

He points to Arkansas, where Republicans spent $2 million defending Tom Cotton, and to Ohio, where he argues Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad on Amy Acton has backfired badly enough that other Republicans have loudly called for it to come down.

Cliff’s one caveat: he’s an election analyst, not an authoritarianism analyst, and how Americans respond if Trump tries to steal the election through cyber-chicanery, threats or actual force is the one thing no poll—nor he—can predict.

From there, Cliff and Bob dig into Trump’s fixation on John Husted’s um…rear, the Republicans’ closing message, and why Cliff thinks the winning Democratic argument is the one Sherrod Brown and Péter Magyar have made: corruption isn’t abstract when it’s taking money out of your pocket.

Alex Pretti’s Father Blasts Trump Admin Cover Up Of Son’s Killing

NewsHound Ellen — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 23:47:32 +0000

Nine months after Alex Pretti was shot and killed by ICE, his father, Michael Pretti addressed reporters about the shockingly callous refusal of the Trump administration to own up to what happened.

The federal government’s “refusal to engage in transparent communication with the Pretti family has compounded their heartbreak,” the lawyer representing Alex Pretti’s parents wrote in a letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche in July, The New York Times reported.

The lawyer, Steven L. Schleicher, also said the DOJ's refusal to share basic information violates the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act.

Putting aside the law, the Blanche DOJ’s behavior is cruel and indecent.

You'd have to have a heart of stone not to be deeply moved by Michael Pretti’s remarks on Tuesday. “We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community” Pretti said. “He was peaceful. He was observing. He was not protesting. … His hands were in the air before he was tackled to the ground. He was face down on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents.”

Pretti went on to blast the shockingly heartless behavior of the Trump administration that came afterward. As The Times noted, the Department of Homeland Security has not retracted a statement claiming that Mr. Pretti intended to “do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”

Trump Unwittingly Admits He Sucks, Says The World Is 'Falling Apart' Under His Watch

Conover Kennard — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 21:56:20 +0000

We're sure the least self-aware person in the world, Donald J. Trump, didn't think this through before opening his anus-shaped mouth to a crowd of supporters in Mississippi.

Trump acknowledged that the world is in turmoil, then declared that America is doing better than ever, without explaining the contradiction. It's a neat small snapshot of his campaign message, served up to a crowd in a state where many residents are struggling economically.

And he admitted that the world is "falling apart" under his watch.

“The world has watched, and the world doesn't even believe it,” Trump insisted. “The world is falling apart, and we're doing better than we've ever done.”

Before that, Trump spent time proclaiming that America is in a “golden age.” Apparently, the president believes he can acknowledge global turmoil while insisting that everything is going swimmingly at home even though he's the one sitting in the Oval Office.

Mississippi has the lowest median household income of any state, according to the latest Census Bureau figures, and one of the nation's highest poverty rates.

Trump was campaigning for Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, whose recent tone-deaf response to a local television anchor raised eyebrows. When the anchor commented on the rising price of beef, Hyde-Smith offered this helpful advice: “You have so many proteins to choose from.”

Did JD Vance Call Donald Trump A 'Tin Pot Dictator'?

John Amato — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 21:01:19 +0000

During a campaign rally Monday in of all places deep red Belgrade, Montana, JD Vance blamed the skyrocketing costs of gas for the last fifty years on some tin pot dictators who throw tantrums.

Wow, that characterizes Trump's war with Iran perfectly.

Vance's defense to rallygoers of the high costs of fuel because of Trump's economy and actions is hitting a lot of stumbling blocks and unforced errors.

First, Vance admitted that Russia attacking Ukraine caused the spike in gas prices in 2022, which is something Demented Donald does not want to hear.

VANCE: You will hear many say that gas prices are too high, that there's still so much work to do on correcting the terrible Biden inflation, the highest inflation that we saw in 50 years in our country.

And I understand that. I agree with it.

But remember, in 2022, let's just talk about gas prices. Remember in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine and gas prices skyrocketed? They skyrocketed, by the way, far higher then than they are today.

They skyrocketed in 1979. They skyrocketed in 2001. They skyrocketed in 2007.

They skyrocket every time some tin pot dictator decides to throw a tantrum.

You are correct, sir!

Trump had no cause to attack Iran, but he did and now the country pays the price for it.

The cockwobbler will not be happy and I doubt he endorses Vance in 2028.

Trump Threatens Georgia's Funding Pending The Election

Chris capper Liebenthal — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 20:26:55 +0000

While stumping for Mike Collins in Georgia, Trump said that he would be much more likely to answer the phone if Mike Collins were to call him asking for funding for the state.

Trump went on to say that if Jon Ossoff, whom Trump referred to as Pee Wee Herman, were to call, Trump would say, "Tell him I'm not in. I'm not in, but he needs money for Georgia. I don't give a damn what he wants, I'm not in."

As usual, Trump kept rambling on, admitting that he knew that what he just said was wrong, "No, people don't realize what a big difference it makes, and probably I shouldn't say that because they'll say this is not appropriate, but no, it makes a big difference what the difference between having people that, even beyond the party, having people that you like call you as opposed to people that you can't stand, these congressmen are so good."

"And they call me, and it's, you know, I love to help them." Trump prattled on. "When other people call me, I'm terrible. I'm just terrible."
Trump did get one thing correct - he is terrible. And not only because he is acting like a mafia enforcer trying to strong-arm a state into voting a certain way. The list goes on and on. But I'm sure that will all come out next year when the Democrats take over Congress.

President Trump suggests he will not providing funding for Georgia if Mike Collins isn’t elected: They need money for Georgia. I don’t give a damn. https://t.co/7faHMzUxI8

JD Vance Swamped With Groans At MAGA Rally As He Mangles Local Town Name

David Edwards — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 19:35:18 +0000

A crowd at a Republican rally in Montana groaned as Vice President JD Vance, campaigning for the party’s midterm candidates, mispronounced the name of Helena, the state capital.

Video of Monday’s rally in Belgrade, near Bozeman, shows Vance stressing the middle syllable, saying something like “Hel-EE-na,” as he introduced Republican Senate candidate Kurt Alme.

But the U.S. Forest Service’s pronunciation guide lists the name as “HELL-uh-nuh,” with the stress on the first syllable.

Montana radio station KMBR has counted the capital among the state’s most mispronounced town names.

“Now, Kurt is the son of two grateful school teachers,” Vance told the crowd. “… He knows what’s at stake. He is from Helena.”

“Sorry, he’s not from Helena,” Vance said after the line drew silence and prompted groans.

“Hell-ina!” he tried again, this time stressing the first syllable.

The correction drew a mix of laughs and groans. Vance held up a finger, then lowered it to pat the podium softly. He paused with his mouth open as cheers mixed with more groans.

“And! And!” Vance said as the crowd grew louder. “Thank you. I’m humble enough to admit when I’m wrong.”

'Unlawful' Flaw Risks Blowing Up Trump's Russia Deal As Diesel Tanker Nears US Port

David Edwards — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 18:04:52 +0000

Critics have exposed a little-known flaw in President Donald Trump’s "unlawful" diesel deal with Russia that threatens to scare off the banks and ports needed to bring the fuel ashore.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), five other Democrats and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) warned six major banks and four port authorities about that legal risk in an Oct. 24 letter, Axios reported Monday.

The recipients include Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and port authorities in New York, New Jersey and Texas, Axios reported.

“[A]ny importation of Russian diesel into the U.S. raises significant legal questions and may be subject to legal action, as well as congressional investigations,” the lawmakers wrote.

Asked about the letter, the administration told The Hill that its move is legal.

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers accused Democrats of continuing their “decade-long obsession with investigating President Trump.”

The DOJ's Hail Mary Midterm 'Contingency Plans' Should Scare The Hell Out Of You

Andrea Thompson — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 16:51:57 +0000

According to a bombshell report from independent journalist Ken Klippenstein, the Trump-era Department of Justice has been cooking up a Hail Mary "contingency" plan to potentially directly intervene in the impending midterm elections if Democrats secure the predicted victories -- and please make no mistake, this should terrify you.

Klippenstein spoke with three separate officials, all with inside knowledge of the discussions behind closed doors at the Trump Administration's DOJ, who described the "doomsday" scenarios currently being mapped out by Justice Department leadership, ranging from foreign cyberattacks to unadulterated chaos at the polls. According to these officials, while these horrifying scenarios are most likely improbable, they are far from impossible.

One senior official said the quiet part out loud when speaking with Klippenstein: "Nobody knows what the president might do if the midterms don’t go his way."

'Shove That Ballroom Up Your Fat Ass!': Trump Heckler Becomes Instant Legend

Conover Kennard — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:49:00 +0000

Well, the resistance has a new rally cry.

Donald J. Trump's insane obsession with his White House ballroom underwent an unexpected turn at his Mississippi rally when a protester interrupted his speech with a message that was impossible to misunderstand:

“SHOVE THAT BALLROOM UP YOUR FAT ASS!”

Sometimes a heckler finds the words that a thousand op-eds can't quite manage. A new legend is born.

Trump heard the protester and immediately trotted out his usual unsubstantiated claim about “paid protesters,” apparently unable to comprehend that people might genuinely hate him with the fury of a thousand suns.

“Go home, go home, go home,” he said. “So he gets paid. You know, they're paid protesters.”

“They get paid $250 by, they think it's Soros,” he continued. “And they ruined their lives because now they get booked. Now they get booked.”

“We don't usually press it too hard, but isn't that terrible?” he added. “And I was just, I was just at the punchline too.”

Oh, punkin'. YOU ARE THE PUNCHLINE, you sack of festering shit.

America is a joke now.

Of course, the crowd dutifully chanted “USA! USA! USA!” like obedient seals, simping for their billionaire Fox News grandpa.

Meanwhile, the only hero at that rally was the protester.

The guy in the audience was the only intelligent human in that room.
