Tucker Carlson DESPERATE to Distance from Shooter He Inspired
Tucker Carlson has been facing a great deal of criticism over the past few days since the Great Replacement Theory he often talks about was one of the motivating factors for a gunman killing ten people at a grocery store in Buffalo over the weekend. Last night on his program, Tucker tried to distance himself along with Fox News from the Buffalo shooter as much as he could. He said the manifesto the shooter wrote “is not recognizably left wing or right wing. It’s not really political at all.” This statement is completely untrue as the document overlaps with the viewpoints that Tucker routinely espouses on his show. Tucker went on to write off the shooter as mentally ill and suggested that was all that was needed to explain why he committed the attack. However, the overwhelming majority of mentally ill people would never commit such a heinous act and obviously there are more compounding factors as to why the shooter did what he did. One of those factors is that he bought into the same Great Replacement Theory talking points that Tucker Carlson believes in and that’s why Tucker is rightfully taking some heat.
Desperate Trump Tries to Save Madison Cawthorn
Today is primary day in a number of states including North Carolina, which means that Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn will be put to the test in his first re-election effort. A number of scandals have come to light about Cawthorn in recent weeks presenting some level of challenge to his campaign. Even though many Republicans appear to want to oust Madison over his claim about them being involved in drug use and sex parties, Donald Trump backs the congressman’s re-election effort. Trump posted on his Truth Social platform in part, “when Madison was first elected to Congress, he did a great job. Recently, he made some foolish mistakes, which I don’t believe he’ll make again…let’s give Madison a second chance!” This endorsement by Trump likely shows that Cawthorn will safely win his race, since the former president claims to value his endorsement record and wouldn’t want to risk it if it was expected Madison would lose.

Trump Sets Record for Immorality at Sickening Speech
Donald Trump spoke to a small crowd in Austin, Texas over the weekend and had a particularly callous moment where he compared the recent mass shootings in Buffalo and Milwaukee to a false claim about American military deaths in Afghanistan. The former president said, “we didn’t lose one American soldier. Think of it. Not one. As opposed to last night, which you saw in Milwaukee and as you saw . . . just as I’m coming on the stage, a tragic event in Buffalo with numerous people being killed. In 18 months in Afghanistan we lost nobody.” It’s outrageous that Trump would make the comparison between mass shootings and a US war oversees as there’s no logical connection between the two. Furthermore, Trump’s claim about American military personnel not dying in Afghanistan during that time period is misleading, as several American military deaths were reported during the time he mentioned.

Abortion Support Hits NEW RECORD Since SCOTUS Draft Leak
New polling data has come out following the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion about Roe vs. Wade that shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans support protecting abortion rights. According to an NBC News poll, 37% of the country believes abortions should always be legal and 23% believe they should be legal most of the time. On the flip side, 32% believe abortion should be illegal with few exceptions and 5% believe it should be illegal with no exceptions. The combined 60% support for abortion rights is the highest level on this question going back to 2003. A separate question about whether Roe vs. Wade should be overturned got only 30% of correspondents to agree that it should and 63% saying it should not. These results show that the Supreme Court is positioned to do something the majority of Americans disagree with and is yet another example of how our system of government often fails to represent the people.
