Twitter and Facebook have both moved to suppress New York Post reports that the former vice president lied about never talking to his son Hunter about his business dealings in Ukraine, where Biden had the prosecutor general fired. US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has lashed out at a journalist for asking his thoughts on allegations against his son. CBS reporter Bo Erickson, attached to the Biden election campaign, asked the former vice president on Thursday night for his response to the New York Post story alleging his son Hunter peddled his father’s influence to Ukrainian and Chinese businessmen for money […]

After Republican Senator John Kennedy declared “racist” one of the worst insults Americans might face during Supreme Court confirmation hearings, social media took up the challenge, deluging the Louisianan with alternatives. Kennedy uttered the offending phrase in defense of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, the conservative lawmaker President Donald Trump nominated to the Supreme Court last month to fill the vacancy left by the deceased Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “I know, for someone unaccustomed to it, that it hurts to be called a racist. I think it’s one of the worst things you can call an American,” Kennedy declared in his trademark southern […]
US President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden have had an intense first presidential debate in Cleveland on Tuesday. During the debate, Trump and Biden were constantly interrupting and sniping at each other, making it hard for moderator Chris Wallace to follow the time limits set for each speaker. He even had to raise his voice when the debaters interrupted each other or diverged from the topics they were supposed to discuss. Heated Debate Seeking to dispel rumours of his age-related sluggishness, Biden called Trump “the worst president America has ever had” and energetically attacked his handling of the coronavirus outbreak, economic crisis […]
The View landed a spicy guest for the first episode of its 24th season on Tuesday when former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders joined the five co-hosts to talk about her new book, Speaking for Myself: Faith, Freedom, and the Fight of Our Lives Inside the Trump White House. And it couldn’t have come at a more fraught moment for her former boss. The first question for Huckabee Sanders went to Meghan McCain, who found herself once again in the middle of the latest Trump scandal after new reporting around the president’s disparaging remarks about the military, including her […]
Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie defended President Donald Trump’s past disparagement of the late Sen. John McCain’s war service and prisoners of war in general, claiming that it was all just “politics” and the “heat of the campaign.” Wilkie took issue with the bombshell report in The Atlantic that alleges Trump called fallen war heroes “losers” and “suckers,” saying the story’s anonymous sources “brought you fake heart attacks and fake strokes.” He was then pressed by CNN host Dana Bash on Trump’s very public denigration of McCain. “Do you understand why people might find the details of these stories we’re hearing […]
Earlier today Democrat lawmaker Cedric Richmond (D-LA) hurled racist insults at Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and his son during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. During the hearing Democrat Richmond attacked Republican lawmakers in the room who “have never lived in my shoes.” Rep. Gaetz then countered the Democrat for assuming no Republican member do not have different race family members. Channel News 8 reported: Richmond acknowledged that he knows Republicans on the committee who “have black grandchildren,” but he added, “It is about black males, black people in the streets that are getting killed, and if one of them happens to […]
Rudy Giuliani’s defense of Donald Trump escalated into an ill-tempered row with Piers Morgan, as the pair traded insults over the US president’s response to the wide-scale protests sparked by George Floyd’s death. During an interview on ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’ on Thursday, Giuliani – who is Trump’s lawyer – hit out at Morgan’s co-host Susanna Reid for suggesting the US president’s recent tweet in which he declared that “When the looting starts, the shooting starts” – referring to the protests and riots – was in any way racist. The tweet was subsequently censored by Twitter. Also on rt.com Fists fly […]
As Elon Musk sues Californian authorities for stopping a Tesla factory from reopening, he has found a somewhat novel way of dealing with his critics – dismissing them with short Russian insults. The target of Musk’s Cyrillic ire is Robert Reich, an economist and labor secretary under the Clinton administration. A well-known proponent of fairer distribution of wealth, Reich shared a story about the Tesla CEO’s plans for legal action in the Golden State with the comment: “Elon Musk threatens to take away people’s jobs unless he’s allowed to risk their health. Capitalism at its worst.” Elon Musk threatens to take […]
