OH NO: Charlie Kirk ADMITS they're planning to cheat in 2024
Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk had a bad week, not only because Donald Trump was arrested but also because progressive judge Janet Protasiewicz won her election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, tipping the balance of power to the liberals. Kirk admitted to his talk show audience that this victory in Wisconsin was going to thwart Republican efforts to cheat in the 2024 presidential race. Charlie said, “Wisconsin was a blowout and there goes the Wisconsin Supreme Court and it decreases our chance to be able to win the White House in 2024.” Kirk is saying the quiet part out loud, which is that the way they planned to win Wisconsin in 2024 was not necessarily by winning the most votes, but by filing motions that would get to the State Supreme Court so it could grant the state’s electoral votes to the Republican nominee. This is exactly why these state and local races matter because it can put a stop to right-wing efforts to win by lawfare when a majority of voters don’t side with them.
CULT: MAGA commentator would "take a bullet" for Trump
In the latest example of blind loyalty and cult-like behavior from Trump supporters, right-wing commentator Anna Perez said on her program that it makes sense for right-wingers to want to take a bullet for Donald Trump, as he would do the same for them. Perez said, “President Trump would take a bullet for me. President Trump is taking a bullet for me. President Trump is prepared to take a bullet for all of us.” Despite overwhelming evidence that Trump does not care about his supporters, they continue to demonstrate complete obedience and loyalty to him. This behavior is a telltale sign of a cult, with Trump being the leader who demands complete loyalty and obedience from his followers. He uses fear and intimidation to keep them in line and employs propaganda techniques to manipulate his supporters. But as we’ve seen time and time again, if any of Trump’s followers are in need of his assistance, he casts them aside as they are no longer useful to him.
From yesterday’s show:
BRUTAL: Entire Fox panel TURNS on Trump
During a recent segment on “Fox & Friends,” host Steve Doocy asked a panel of Republicans to respond to Donald Trump's call to defund the Department of Justice and FBI over his recent indictment and arrest. Not one of the six panelists showed any support for the idea. While this panel may not be representative of the entire Republican Party, the optics of the situation were a total backfire on TV. This is reminiscent of a similar situation when Fox News hosted a town hall for Bernie Sanders and the audience actually applauded many of his ideas. If Trump and Republicans continue to express support for their newly-found “defund the police” agenda, surely at least some of their supporters will follow suit. This type of behavior is typical in cults since logical consistency takes a backseat to pleasing whatever the current interests of the cult leader are.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump DESPERATE, joins "emergency" prayer call
Former President Donald Trump joined an emergency prayer call after his post-arrest speech at Mar-a-Lago, during which he mentioned that “beautiful Christianity” was under attack. He was joined by Michele Bachmann and other religious leaders, and the audio quality of the call was absolutely terrible. Trump seemed desperate for prayer but more importantly for money. He also said that he was fighting against discrimination and a fake investigation against him. Bachmann beseeched God to declare Trump innocent and to have mercy on him and America. Trump's rare turn to prayer may show that he is scared, however more than likely he just sees this as an opportunity to grift off his followers who are somehow convinced that he’s actually religious.
