Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) urged his fellow Republicans to move past former President Donald Trump on Sunday, predicting that due to the damage Trump has done to the GOP, he likely won’t be the party’s presidential nominee in 2024. Hours before Trump was set to deliver his first post-White House speech at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, Cassidy appeared on CNN’s State of the Union […]

CNN host Dana Bash repeatedly pressed White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Sunday morning over President Joe Biden apparently shirking his promise to hold Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) accountable for his role in the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Following the release of a declassified intelligence report on Khashoggi’s death that determined MBS directly approved the killing of the journalist, Secretary […]

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki pushed back against The View’s Meghan McCain on Thursday over accusations of “hypocrisy” surrounding the Biden administration’s use of detention facilities to house migrant children. The current situation is “absolutely not” the same as “kids in cages,” Psaki insisted. Earlier this week, it was reported that the Biden administration had opened its first migrant child facility at the border. The […]

The View’s Joy Behar on Wednesday remarked that far-right Fox News host Tucker Carlson should be “tied up and put in the corner somewhere so we never hear from him again”—a comment she quickly walked back after realizing it could be “perceived” as violent. Earlier this week, the Fox News star drew condemnation for insisting that “there’s no evidence that white supremacists were responsible for what […]

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) on Wednesday ludicrously faulted the recent slowdown in post office deliveries on the antifa and Black Lives Matter movements, claiming that the destruction of property during last year’s summer protests was the actual cause of current United States Postal Service issues. The House Oversight and Reform Committee held a hearing on Wednesday to look into the continuing delays in delivering the mail, […]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson mockingly suggested on Tuesday night that there was no evidence the QAnon conspiracy theory exists, claiming his team spent “all day trying to locate” it, learned it isn’t “even a website,” and “could not find it.” QAnon, for those still unaware, is an unhinged and dangerous cult that believes there is a satanic cabal of powerful pedophiliac Democrats and liberals feeding […]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) attempted to brush off the controversy over his Cancun trip on Monday night, claiming he got bad press for leaving Texas high and dry because the media is “suffering from Trump withdrawal.” Over the past few days, the Texas senator has found himself the target of a firestorm of criticism for his tone-deaf decision to flee to a tropical getaway as his […]

Fox News devoted multiple segments on Monday morning to complaining that The Muppets are the latest victim of “cancel culture” because Disney’s streaming service has added a short disclaimer to 18 episodes of The Muppet Show warning about potentially offensive content. Last week, Disney+ began adding the disclaimer to the classic television show, which originally aired in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The 12-second message […]

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), the number two Republican in the House, still refuses to concede that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen, insisting on Sunday morning that “there were a few states that didn’t follow their state laws.” Scalise, fresh off his Mar-a-Lago trip to visit with former President Donald Trump, appeared on ABC News’ This Week on Sunday and was eventually pressed about whether […]

The Republican governor of Arkansas came out on Sunday against a potential 2024 White House run for former President Donald Trump, again arguing that the twice-impeached ex-president “should not define” the future of the Republican Party. During an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Gov. Asa Hutchinson was asked by host Dana Bash about Arkansas State Sen. Jim Hendren—who is Hutchinson’s nephew—announcing his departure from […]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ran to the friendly turf of Fox News on Thursday night for his first post-Cancun TV interview, once again throwing his young daughters under the bus while letting Fox viewers know that he immediately had “second thoughts” as he escaped a frozen, powerless Texas for a tropical getaway. At the same time, Cruz was forced to admit that Fox News host Sean […]

The View’s Meghan McCain on Thursday blasted Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on for taking a family trip to Cancun while his home state’s residents literally freeze to death, calling the senator’s trip a “very Marie Antoinette” moment and “one of the worst optics” in recent political memory. After speculation exploded overnight on social media that the Texas lawmaker had snuck away for a tropical getaway while […]

MSNBC host Chris Hayes blasted Fox News and right-wing media for falsely blaming wind turbines as the root cause of the debilitating power outages plaguing Texas, accusing “these charlatans” on Tuesday of pushing “painful culture war idiocy” in an effort to demonize clean energy. With much of Texas steeped in darkness as historic winter storms rage, the demand for electricity has skyrocketed, and right-wing media has […]

House impeachment manager Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) defended the Democrats’ decision to cave on calling more witnesses at the Senate impeachment trial, declaring that what they really needed was “more senators with spines.” During a chaotic final day of former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial, Democrats won a vote to call additional witnesses after lead manager Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) motioned for additional testimony. In […]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) predicted on Sunday that Vice President Kamala Harris will be the target of an impeachment effort if Republicans take control of the House of Representatives in 2022—because she tweeted support for a bail fund for Black Lives Matter protesters. During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Graham first pointed out that former President Donald Trump told him that while he’s “ready to […]

CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Friday afternoon tore into the Trump impeachment lawyers’ defense, calling their presentation outright “stupid” and likening it to a “Sean Hannity mixtape.” Countering the compelling and meticulous presentation from the House impeachment managers, which featured chilling never-before-seen video of the insurrectionist Capitol riot, former President Donald Trump’s attorneys argued that Democrats have also said “fight” during political speeches, therefore somehow nullifying […]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson went full conspiracy theorist on Wednesday night, suggesting George Floyd’s death somehow proves that the insurrectionist Capitol riot is part of a liberal plot to change the “old order” of America. Following the House impeachment managers’ harrowing arguments on Wednesday, which featured chilling never-before-seen security footage and audio detailing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Carlson kicked off his primetime […]

Fox News will now be dominated by right-wing opinion programming each night from 7 p.m. until midnight. The network announced Wednesday that Greg Gutfeld will move his eponymous weekend show to 11 p.m. on weeknights, pushing Fox News @ Night, an ostensible “hard news” program currently hosted by Shannon Bream, to midnight. “People need a reason to laugh. Greg’s unique and irreverent talk show has been […]

Fox News host Sean Hannity joined the conservative pile-on over the Trump impeachment team’s widely panned performance on Tuesday, gently dragging Bruce Castor over his “meandering” presentation while pressing fellow Trump lawyer David Schoen to potentially replace Castor. Following the House Democrats’ powerful and highly prepared opening arguments during Tuesday’s Senate impeachment trial, which drew praise from many Senate Republicans and even Castor himself, Castor delivered […]

Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan furiously clashed with Sarah Palin on Tuesday morning after the former Republican vice-presidential nominee repeatedly refused to accept that President Joe Biden won last year’s election fair and square, calling the former Alaska governor “totally bonkers” at one point. During a chaotic interview focused on the Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, Morgan noted that Trump’s persistent pushing […]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed on Monday night that MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace is “now suggesting drone strikes against American citizens who have the wrong politics,” further wondering if she thinks Trump supporters “deserve Hellfire missiles raining down on their homes.” Late last month, in a segment discussing the upcoming Senate impeachment trial, Wallace wondered aloud how Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell could potentially be […]

Newsmax host Rob Finnerty on Monday morning needled Fox News Media for canceling Lou Dobbs’ top-rated FBN show last week, claiming Dobbs was dumped merely for supporting Trump and seemingly suggesting the network instead fire its most famous news anchor. Over the past few months, Newsmax has seen an exponential rise in its viewership as it has offered itself to disgruntled MAGA supporters as a more […]

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace confronted Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) over his assertion that it’s unconstitutional to impeach former President Donald Trump, pointing out on Sunday that there is precedent for impeaching an official who’s left office. During an interview with the Kentucky senator on Fox News Sunday, Wallace first pressed the Republican lawmaker over the growing conservative talking point that Democrats have used heated rhetoric […]

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) suggested on Sunday morning that former President Donald Trump may have intentionally provoked more violence during last month’s insurrectionist riot when he attacked then-Vice President Mike Pence on Twitter as thousands of his followers stormed the U.S. Capitol. A day after the Wyoming Republican Party censured Cheney and called for her resignation for voting to impeach Trump over his role in inciting […]

The Lou Dobbs era has ended at Fox News. The news came down on Friday night that the ultra-sycophantic Trump supporter’s Fox Business show had been canceled and that he would not appear on any Fox News Media programming again. The cancellation comes just a day after voting software company Smartmatic filed a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News and three of the network’s hosts, […]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson picked up his feud with former colleague Shep Smith on Thursday, roundly mocking him for delivering a report on a packed Florida grocery store in which most of the customers and workers were unmasked. Or, in other words, Carlson ridiculed Smith for doing his job. After 23 years at Fox News, Smith left the network in late 2019 after publicly clashing […]

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has found himself in the middle of the latest right-wing media battle for MAGA viewership. In a cynical attempt to hamstring one of its main competitors, fringe cable channel One America News this week accused fellow pro-Trump outlet Newsmax of “being swept up by leftist censorship” after Newsmax anchor Bob Sellers stormed out of an interview when Lindell wouldn’t stop peddling voter […]

Well, that was fast. A day after storming out of his interview with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell after the Trump-boosting pillow salesman wouldn’t stop pushing baseless voting machine conspiracies, Newsmax anchor Bob Sellers issued a groveling apology to Lindell and Newsmax viewers on Wednesday afternoon. During an off-the-rails segment on Tuesday afternoon, Lindell—who is facing a potential lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over his false fraud […]

As pressure builds for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to strip QAnon-loving Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) of her committee assignments, Fox News has latched onto a new talking point to run defense for the conspiracy-mongering lawmaker: equate her violent and bigoted rhetoric to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Greene has come under scrutiny over the past week after a bevy of her violent and unhinged past […]

A night after Fox News host Tucker Carlson defended QAnon-aligned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), claiming she’s being punished because “CNN says she has bad opinions,” Fox News contributor Karl Rove said the conspiracy-spouting lawmaker should be stripped of her House assignments. Greene has come under fire in recent days for her violently unhinged comments and social media posts, such as her support for House Speaker […]

A Newsmax interview with conspiracy-peddling MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell went completely off the rails on Tuesday when Lindell immediately began pushing baseless and debunked claims about Dominion Voting Systems, prompting anchor Bob Sellers and Heather Childers to repeatedly cut him off and Sellers to literally walk off the set. Lindell ostensibly appeared on the pro-Trump conservative network on Tuesday afternoon to discuss Twitter’s decision to permanently […]

After Fox News star Tucker Carlson stood up for QAnon conspiracy theorists last week, it was really only a matter of time before he openly defended QAnon-peddling Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). At the top of his primetime program Monday night, the Fox News host continued his weeks-long theme of railing against what he sees as the left’s assault against free speech by rallying to the […]

The View’s Meghan McCain leaned on one of her well-worn arguments Monday when it came to Democrats’ criticism of QAnon-supporting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), warning that lumping Republicans in with Greene “is how we got Trump in the first place.” Greene, who is an ardent booster of former President Donald Trump’s “Big Lie” that the election was “stolen,” has been under fire the past week […]

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) called for Republican House leaders to take action against QAnon-supporting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) over her violent and conspiratorial rhetoric, saying on Sunday that stripping her of her committee assignments would “send a message.” Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Portman—who recently announced that he will not seek reelection in 2022—spent much of the interview hemming and hawing over whether […]

Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani on Friday threw out a conspiracy theory about the deadly Capitol insurrection that was so insane, fellow conspiracist Steve Bannon had to jump in and pump the brakes. Giuliani, currently facing a billion-dollar defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems for pushing baseless claims of voter fraud about the company, has been on a mission recently to distance former President Donald Trump […]

MSNBC anchor Brian Williams drolly roasted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Thursday night over his recent trip to “kiss the ring” of former President Donald Trump, playing “exclusive” footage of their Mar-a-Lago meeting. Earlier in the day, the top Republican congressman traveled down to Florida to meet with Trump about the future of the GOP. The meeting took place just a few weeks after McCarthy […]

MSNBC host Chris Hayes repeatedly pressed recently fired Fox News political editor Chris Stirewalt on Thursday night over his former network’s peddling of misinformation, even raising his eyebrow when Stirewalt seemed to defend Fox at one point. Following his termination last week in what Fox News insiders described as a “purge” and “blood bath,” Stirewalt broke his silence on Thursday morning with a Los Angeles Times […]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to task on Wednesday night for seemingly kowtowing to the most extreme lawmakers in his caucus, explicitly saying McCarthy’s the one who “answers to these QAnon members of Congress, not the other way around.” In recent days, social media posts have resurfaced from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)—already known for peddling the unhinged QAnon conspiracy theory—in […]

A day after getting thrown off Twitter for repeatedly sharing election disinformation, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell appeared on Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s program on Tuesday night for an extremely sympathetic interview—and proceeded to fire off bizarre conspiracies left and right. Lindell has been one of former President Donald Trump’s biggest boosters, financially backing many of the pro-Trump lawsuits attempting to overthrow President Joe Biden’s victory. […]

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is apparently in talks to sign with Fox News, according to reports.

McEnany did not immediately respond to a request for […]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday night pandered to and seemingly defended QAnon, the violently unhinged conspiracy theory whose adherents believe that a deep state cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiliac cannibals is plotting against former President Donald Trump. After an insurrectionist mob incited by Trump stormed the Capitol in order to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s election victory, social media companies cracked down and […]

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar is not buying former White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx’s attempted image rehab on Monday, invoking the infamous moment Birx remained quiet while then-President Donald Trump suggested injecting bleach to combat coronavirus. In a lengthy interview with CBS News over the weekend, Dr. Birx—who announced her retirement last month during the White House transition—largely distanced herself from the previous administration […]

The View’s Meghan McCain, who has made a huge show over the years of being an anti-Trump conservative, on Monday seemed to count herself among the “cult of Trump” while railing against Katie Couric comments made about the MAGA fans who continue to believe the “stolen election” lie. Earlier this month, following the insurrectionist Capitol riot incited by President Donald Trump, Couric sparked a multi-day outrage […]

Former White House coronavirus coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx claimed on Sunday that former President Donald Trump was being fed “parallel data streams” from another source on the pandemic and was “presenting graphs” that she never made. During an interview on CBS News’ Face the Nation, Dr. Birx appeared to be doing a bit of reputation rehab by distancing herself completely from the Trump administration. Besides telling […]

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) grew increasingly agitated and testy on Sunday morning when ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos repeatedly pressed him to acknowledge that the 2020 presidential election wasn’t stolen—something Paul refused to do. Stephanopoulos immediately kicked off Sunday’s This Week interview with Paul by asking him a “threshold” question about the results of the election, wondering aloud if he accepted that President Joe Biden’s victory […]

Newsmax host Rob Finnerty on Friday morning scoffed at the notion of President Joe Biden placing a bust of civil-rights hero Rosa Parks in the Oval Office, derisively referring to the move as part of his “administration of identity politics.” Among the many things right-wing media has found itself outraged over in the first days of the Biden administration has been the new president’s decision to […]

Fox News contributor Karl Rove curiously railed against President Joe Biden’s call to battle racism and white supremacy on Thursday morning, saying that particular part of the inaugural address personally “offended” him. After spending much of Wednesday praising Biden’s speech, in which the new president called for uniting the nation and ending “this uncivil war,” the veteran Republican strategist reversed course the following morning, blasting Biden’s […]

Newsmax host Greg Kelly had a very difficult time coping with Joe Biden officially becoming president on Wednesday. So much so, that he essentially wished for America’s failure. All throughout President Biden’s inauguration day, right-wing media struggled to come to grips with the end of Donald Trump’s presidency. After heaping praise on Trump’s “graceful” exit from the White House—Trump skipped the inauguration after inciting an insurrectionist […]

Hours after Fox News anchor Chris Wallace heaped praise upon President Joe Biden’s inaugural address, his network colleague Greg Gutfeld roundly mocked the Fox News Sunday moderator’s remarks and, of course, tore apart the new president’s speech. Immediately following Biden’s speech, in which he called upon Americans to “end this uncivil war,” Fox News viewers were greeted Wednesday afternoon with Wallace labeling it “the best inaugural […]

Rep. Jamie Raskin (R-MS) paid tribute to his late son on Sunday while contrasting that tragedy with the insurrectionist riot incited by President Donald Trump, emotionally declaring, “I’m not going to lose my son in 2020 and lose my republic in 2021.” On New Year’s Eve, the Maryland lawmaker’s 25-year-old son, Tommy—who was a Harvard law student, poet, and animal rights activist—took his life, writing an […]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson dismissively mocked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday night for describing her experience surviving an insurrectionist riot, belittling the congresswoman’s claims that she “narrowly escaped death” by derisively referring to her as “Sandy.” At the top of his primetime program on Thursday, Carlson repeated his previous assertions that the deadly Capitol riot that was ignited by President Donald Trump was absolutely […]

Moments after President Donald Trump became the first president in history to be impeached twice, Fox News host Pete Hegseth on Wednesday grasped at straws for a defense: “What happened happened,” he said, and besides, Trump literally never used the word “insurrection.” Appearing on Fox News’ The Five, the unwaveringly pro-Trump Fox & Friends Weekend host first excoriated the impeachment process, complaining that Democratic “hyperbole was […]

A week after publicly breaking with President Donald Trump over the insurrectionist Capitol riot, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) accused Congress of “outrageous misconduct” on Wednesday night for impeaching the outgoing president for inciting the seditious MAGA mob, revealing he was fully back on the Trump train. Graham also argued that if Trump were to be convicted by the Senate after he leaves office, this would open […]

Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy on Wednesday morning was forced to repeatedly smack down his co-host Brian Kilmeade, forcefully explaining multiple times what President Donald Trump did to incite a riot and why he faces a second impeachment. Kilmeade, who a day before called for Congress to not impeach so as to appease violent Trump supporters, kicked off the president’s favorite morning show by essentially […]

Former Republican National Committee spokesperson Elizabeth Harrington not only doesn’t believe that President Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection last week, but on Tuesday she claimed that, actually, the “real insurrection” was President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory.

Trump campaign spokesperson Hogan Gidley wanted Fox News viewers to know on Monday that President Donald Trump does not feel “emasculated” by losing his beloved Twitter account, fawningly declaring the president the “most masculine person ever” to occupy the White House.

Remember when Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) explained away her decision to acquit President Donald Trump of impeachment last year because, in her opinion, “the president has learned from this case?” Well, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) gave us the sequel to that hopelessly naive notion on Sunday morning. Amid a growing chorus of Republicans calling for the president to resign for inciting an insurrectionist attack on the […]

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace didn’t allow former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney to use his program to rehabilitate his reputation on Sunday, repeatedly confronting the ex-Trump aide over his personal “responsibility for enabling” President Donald Trump’s behavior. Last week, Mulvaney joined a bevy of Trump administration officials to resign following Wednesday’s deadly insurrectionist Capitol riot that the president incited. “Those who choose to […]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson fumed on Thursday night over other media outlets accurately describing the pro-Trump U.S. Capitol riot as an “insurrection,” claiming it was nothing more than a “political protest that got out of hand” while conceding that President Donald Trump “recklessly encouraged” it. At the top of his primetime program Thursday night, the far-right Fox News star appeared to place some distance between […]

With thousands of pro-Trump protesters overwhelming police at the U.S. Capitol and breaching the highly secure building, several Fox News hosts and reporters initially went out of their way to describe the MAGA mob storming the chambers of Congress as “peaceful.” Following President Donald Trump’s rage-filled “Stop the Steal” speech in which he urged followers to march to the Capitol and “fight” for him and his […]

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Wednesday lamented the Republican Party’s last-ditch effort to overturn President Donald Trump’s decisive election loss, noting that Americans “have never seen” anything like this before and that it is “kind of sad.” With tens of thousands of irate MAGA supporters gathered in Washington, D.C. to protest Congress’ certification of the Electoral College votes, at least 13 GOP senators and up […]

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) on Monday was repeatedly confronted by CNN anchor Jim Sciutto to prove his outlandish boasts that he possesses a “preponderance of evidence” that multiple states committed election fraud. Higgins, who says he will join House and Senate Republicans in objecting to Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s electoral victory, claimed he was challenging the legitimacy of the election results because it’s his “solemn […]

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) ominously warned during a Fox News appearance on Monday night that the United States is in a “cold civil war” that will shift to a “full-scale hot conflict” if the Democrats sweep Tuesday’s Georgia runoff races and take control of the Senate. Prior to the Texas lawmaker’s appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson struck fear into his viewers […]

Fox News anchor Bret Baier pressed Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) on Monday night over the conservative lawmaker’s ploy to object to the presidential election results in Congress this week, directly asking him if he has a responsibility to tell his constituents that Joe Biden will still become president later this month. Late last month, Hawley became the first Republican senator to jump aboard President Donald Trump’s […]

Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) straight-up admitted on Sunday morning that she was outright refusing to give a direct answer when pressed to reveal whether she would have voted to override President Donald Trump’s veto of the most recent National Defense Authorization Act. Last Friday, the Senate overwhelmingly voted 81 to 13 to override the president’s veto of the annual defense bill, with most Republicans joining Democrats […]

CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Sunday repeatedly confronted Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Republicans’ efforts to undermine confidence in this past year’s election results, pushing back when the governor disagreed that President Donald Trump’s lies about election fraud were the main reason many GOP voters believe the election was stolen.

While Ossoff used Wednesday’s impromptu interview to appeal to Fox News […]

Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood ramped up the crazy on Wednesday night by suggesting Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was somehow involved in Justice Antonin Scalia’s death and part of a child-sex cult.

Besides filing […]

Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff on Wednesday morning turned the tables on Fox News, using the opportunity of an impromptu live interview to lambaste his Republican opponent Sen.

Fox News host Raymond Arroyo wildly claimed on Tuesday night that car accident deaths are being counted as COVID-19 casualties if the victim tested positive for coronavirus, citing a “couple of coroners” that he purportedly talked to as proof.

Democratic Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman on Monday night trolled Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and other Republicans over Patrick’s offer of reward money for proof of voter fraud, pointing that the only documented fraud cases in the Keystone state involve President Donald Trump.

Fox News anchor Sandra Smith on Wednesday confronted Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) on whether or not she supports President Donald Trump’s demand for $2,000 stimulus checks, asking if the Trump-boosting senator was trying to ignore the question and not “commit to it.” Prior to the president potentially blowing up the COVID-19 relief bill at the last minute by threatening to veto because the proposed $600 checks […]

Fox News host Pete Hegseth completed the circle on Wednesday morning, applauding President Donald Trump for pardoning four military contractors convicted of killing 14 unarmed Iraqi civilians in 2007.

Fox News contributor Karl Rove blasted pro-Trump “Kraken” lawyer Sidney Powell on Tuesday, joining a chorus of Trump advisers and White House officials pushing President Donald Trump to stop turning to the conspiracy-spewing attorney for advice on overthrowing the election.

Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani attempted to put some distance between President Donald Trump and his legal team and former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, insisting on Monday night that Powell “does not speak for the president” and that she only “speaks for herself.” Giuliani’s disavowal of Powell, however, comes as the conspiracy-peddling “Kraken” lawyer met with Trump at the White House for the third time […]

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace took a not-so-veiled shot at his Fox colleagues who have obsessed over soon-to-be first lady Jill Biden’s use of the title “doctor,” noting on Sunday that other prominent figures who aren’t medical doctors have used it and there’s never been a “fuss about that.” Following a heavily mocked Wall Street Journal op-ed that suggested Biden using “Dr.” to highlight her doctorate […]

Anchor Don Lemon took issue with his colleague Chris Cuomo’s friendly interview with Chris Christie on Thursday night, accusing his fellow CNN anchor of allowing the former New Jersey governor to “rehab” his reputation after he became an advocate for mask-wearing. Christie, who spent a week in the ICU recovering from COVID-19 this fall, appeared on Cuomo’s program to discuss the new national ad campaign in […]

Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Will Cain claimed on Thursday that mask-wearing isn’t at all about protecting against the coronavirus but is instead used by “elites” as a way to “virtue signal” to show they are “smarter than you.” A day after the United States set another grisly daily record in coronavirus deaths with more than 3,600—bringing the stateside tally up to 308,000—Cain appeared on America’s […]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson obsessed over Jill Biden’s doctorate in education for the third night in a row on Wednesday, this time devoting roughly ten minutes to mocking her dissertation while claiming the incoming first lady is “borderline illiterate.” In case you missed it, a Wall Street Journal writer took issue with Mrs. Biden—whom he addressed as “kiddo”—using the title “Dr.” in front of her […]

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar fired back at Fox News on Wednesday after the network blasted her outlet for recently interviewing Microsoft founder Bill Gates as a coronavirus authority, touting his expertise and efforts combating pandemics while mocking the so-called “experts” Fox News has turned to on the subject.

CNN anchor Don Lemon let his frustration with White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany boil over on Tuesday night, calling out the former CNN commentator over her relentless attacks on the media while noting she was “happy to be” at the network back in the day. During an increasingly rare White House press briefing on Tuesday, McEnany spent much of her time avoiding questions about President […]

Fox News contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy spent a portion of her weekend seemingly endorsing social-media attacks on her own colleague Jedediah Bila. Campos-Duffy, a stridently pro-Trump former reality-TV star, temporarily replaced Bila—a conservative who has been publicly critical of President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election—on Saturday and Sunday as a Fox & Friends Weekend co-host while Bila dealt with an apparent “home emergency.” The one-time […]

Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera went off on fervent pro-Trump pundit Charlie Kirk on Monday night for insisting that the election was still up for grabs, saying it was “so dishonest” to claim there are plenty of legal avenues for President Donald Trump and urging Kirk to “stop this.” Moments after President-elect Joe Biden delivered a speech affirming his Electoral College victory, in which he assailed […]

Unwaveringly pro-Trump cable-news channel Newsmax has made waves in recent weeks by promoting election denialism and outright refusing to recognize Joe Biden’s presidential victory, taking a bite out of Fox News’ conservative viewership in the process. But that changed a bit on Monday afternoon when anchor John Bachman broke the bad news to the network’s ultra-MAGA audience, calling Biden the president-elect. “Electoral College votes are being […]

CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Wednesday went off on Republicans and President Donald Trump for their “clownish” coup attempt, branding their effort to subvert democracy and nullify the presidential election over baseless voter-fraud conspiracies as “absolutely disgraceful.” Over the past few weeks, Team Trump’s increasingly hapless legal challenges to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victories in various key swing states have been tossed out of court, including […]
