California man accused of vandalizing vehicles in Donald Trump mask
By Robert Gearty | Fox News

This guy is in yuge trouble.

California deputies reportedly did a “double take” when they saw a man in a Donald Trump mask slashing tires and breaking the windshield of a parked vehicle on Memorial Day.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department said deputies came across the masked vandal during patrol checks of local businesses around 4 a.m. Monday in Laguna Hills.

“They had to do a double take when they saw a person resembling President Trump slashing tires and breaking the windshield of a parked vehicle,” the department said.

But Trump mask aside, officials said the perpetrator was no joke and carried a loaded handgun, body armor, an airsoft shotgun and a helmet.

Online records showed Zimmerman was released on bond from the Orange County Jail.

The jail listed his occupation as unemployed.

Alyssa Milano slams 'has been' Jon Voight over support of President Trump: 'Stay in your lane'
By Tyler McCarthy | Fox News

Alyssa Milano took a shot at actor Jon Voight and Republicans after the 80-year-old actor shared videos in which he praised President Trump.

Similar to Milano’s digital activism on the left, Voight is one of the few outspoken conservative actors in Hollywood that uses his social media to promote political causes he believes in. The “Ray Donovan” actor posted a two-part video message where he heralded Trump as the best U.S. president since Abraham Lincoln, which Milano took issue with.

“Now I understand why Republicans like to discredit actors and our political views,” she wrote. “‘Stay in your lane, Jon!’ ‘Has been!’ “F-lister trying to stay relevant!’ ‘Nobody cares what an out of touch actor thinks!’”

The Academy Award winner began his video, in which he addressed all Republicans, by declaring his staunch support for Trump and deriding Democrats.

"I know that you'll agree with me when I say that our president has our utmost respect and our love," Voight said. "This job is not easy for he's battling the left and their absurd words of destruction. ... Our nation has been built on the solid ground from our forefathers and there is a moral code of duty that has been passed on from President Lincoln."

The star credited the administration with making the country, as he sees it, “stronger, safer and with more jobs.”

So far, Voight hasn’t directly responded to Milano’s criticism. The 46-year-old “Charmed” actress has ramped up her political activism in recent months, most notably going after Georgia and Alabama over their “heartbeat” abortion bills.

In addition to calling for filming boycotts and a sex strike, Milano reposted a thread from Twitter that individually called out Alabama lawmakers by name if they voted in favor of the new bill. The new measure makes performing an abortion in the state a felony, punishable by up to 99 years or life in prison unless the mother’s health is at risk, with no exceptions for women impregnated by rape or incest.

Rabbi Avi Shafran: When Ilhan Omar attacks Jews, don’t bash non-Jews for defending us

By Rabbi Avi Shafran | Fox News
Heavy security surrounded Montreal’s Jewish Public Library recently, for an address by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The former Muslim Brotherhood member, who abandoned her youthful embrace of militant Islamism and became an advocate for Muslim women’s rights, told those gathered something they didn’t particularly want to hear but that hardly surprised them.

While acknowledging the threat to Jews posed by the white supremacy movement, she insisted that “Islamist-driven anti-Semitism [is] the reigning anti-Semitism of the day.”

It is, she said, “the most zealous, most potent Jew hatred” in the world today.

Having grown up being told that Jews were evil subhuman enemies of all that is good, and having reflexively hated Jews despite never having met one, the Somali-born Ali, 49, has the credentials to know of what she speaks.

And she went on to criticize the tepid Congressional response to Representative Ilhan Omar’s infamous slurs of American Jews. What was originally conceived as a clear resolution focused on anti-Jewish tropes turned into an anodyne rejection of a laundry list of hatreds, including “Islamophobia,” signaling, Ms. Ali contended, that “there’s nothing exceptional about anti-Semitism.”

Ali’s contention that the world’s oldest, most persistent and most illogical murderous animus is a singular evil certainly resonates with people like me, Jews whose parents lost innumerable close relatives in the Holocaust. Several of my children are named for grandparents, aunts and uncles who were murdered by the Nazis and their helpers. Visibly Jewish Jews like me, moreover, even today are targets of insults and slurs from people we don’t know – and who certainly don’t know us.

I’ve had pennies thrown at me on the street and “Heil Hitler!”s shouted at me (even uttered to me with a smirk earlier this year on a public bus). If I had just one of those pennies for every time someone in a passing car screamed at me, I’d be much closer to becoming one of “them rich Jews” that my fellow bus passenger went on to rail about.

But Ali’s courageous stance – speaking critically of a theology that celebrates the murders of “infidels” isn’t for the fainthearted – does more than resonate. It invigorates.

Knowing that someone who isn’t Jewish and has no connection to Judaism is willing to take a public, fearless stance against Jew-hatred is not something I take for granted. It is evidence of a humanitarian good will all too rare.

Meghan McCain is another heroine of mine here (heroism runs in the family). Not long ago, on “The View,” she became emotional during a discussion of Omar and Rashida Tlaib’s offensive comments.

“Just because I don’t technically have Jewish family that are blood-related to me doesn’t mean that I don’t take this as seriously [as do Jews],” she said of Omar’s infamous “Benjamins” comment about Jewish money influencing Congress to support Israel.

“With the rise of anti-Semitism in this country, is it more important to defend party politics, or is it more important to [address] anti-Semitism?” she asked her fellow panelists. “If what Ilhan Omar has been saying for the past few weeks were said by a white Republican male,” she elaborated, “how would you be reacting to it right now?"

Ms. McCain teared up when mentioning former Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman and his wife, Hadassah, calling the couple – with whom her late and lamented father was famously friendly – her “family,” and adding that she takes “the hate crimes rising in this country incredibly seriously.”

And it wasn’t the first time Ms. McCain focused on anti-Semitism. Back in January, she called out “Women’s March” organizer Tamika Mallory for her association with the viperous Louis Farrakhan.

Less than invigorating, in fact downright disgusting, were some of the reactions to Ms. McCain’s “The View” sentiments. A Jewish emotionally disturbed cartoonist who regularly portrays religious Jews and supporters of Israel in the most asinine and grotesque ways, ridiculed the conservative commentator for arrogating to herself the authority to speak out on Jewish issues just because of “her friendship with Joe and Hadassah Lieberman.”

The crazed caricaturist set pen to paper and produced a grotesque caricature of a bawling Ms. McCain holding a Nazi-era yellow “Jude” star and pouring “Matzo Ball Mix” into a bowl. And when Ms. McCain rightly criticized the ugly cartoon as anti-Semitic, the bilious caricaturist dismissed her judgment as “hilarious.” “A Christian woman,” he said contemptuously, “is saying a Jewish cartoonist is anti-Semitic.”

Well, yes, precisely. And she’s right. The Christian woman, and the formerly Muslim one, Ms. Ali, know exactly what anti-Semitism is. And the Jewish cynic not only doesn’t, he promotes it.

A writer at the Jewish Forward echoed the cartoonist’s cartoonish sentiments.

“Meghan McCain,” she wrote, “is a religious Christian” and thus, “cannot be a victim of anti-Jewish hatred, because she is not Jewish.”

Ms. McCain never claimed, though, to be a “victim” of anti-Semitism, but rather a caring human being deeply pained by it. And her pain was amplified by her family’s friendship with, and respect for, a Jewish couple. She has every right and reason to protest what she regards as hateful rhetoric.

And any Jewish American, like the cartoonist, who feels that she hasn’t is what the Talmud calls an “upender of a good deed,” or, rendered into simple English, an ingrate.

Personally, I’m grateful beyond words for every non-Jew who is concerned with my wellbeing and that of my fellow Jews.

The vast majority of American Jews know how fortunate we are to be citizens of this remarkable country. And nothing could better capture America’s promise and essence than the fact that non-Jewish public figures aren’t cowed by threats of violence and condescending snideness, and are willing to speak up on our behalf.

CNN - DEFENDER OF RAPISTS, DISARMING AND SHAMING RAPE VICTIMS

CNN host faces criticism after strange comment about armed rape survivor
By Sam Dorman | Fox News

CNN host Chris Cuomo seemed to raise eyebrows on Twitter Wednesday when he tweeted an enigmatic comment about one of the National Rifle Association's (NRA) promotional videos.

The video showed Kimberly Corban, an armed mother who acquired firearms after her rape in college. "I'm a mother of two, and if that predator or anyone else tries to harm me or my family, they have to come through my firearm first," she said, before praising the NRA's efforts to protect gun rights.

When Cuomo tweeted the video, he posted a comment suggesting that Corban's story was unique to the United States. "Only in America," he tweeted.

It's unclear what exactly Cuomo meant but he has criticized politicians for inaction after mass shootings. His tweet also seemed to echo gun control advocates who argued that because of lax gun control policies, only the United States experienced so many shootings.

On Twitter, Corban responded by asking if he wanted to talk about the tweet.

JOHN LOTT: GUN CONTROLS BACKED BY DEM PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES WOULD HURT POOR AND MINORITIES

Others derided the CNN host for making an apparent slight towards Corban.

Others responded by agreeing with the literal meaning of Cuomo's tweet -- that only in America could women defend themselves so effectively with firearms.

Fox News contributor Lawrence Jones faces racist taunts from protesters at 'Impeach Trump' rally

A pair of anti-Trump protesters directed racist abuse at Fox News contributor Lawrence Jones at a New York City rally over the weekend.

Jones, the editor-in-chief of Campus Reform, was interviewing participants at the demonstration held by the NYC Coalition to Impeach Donald Trump at Foley Square in Lower Manhattan on Saturday when he was heckled.

"This is who they are, Sean," Jones told Fox News' "Hannity" Monday night. "So often, those of us that are on the right are painted as the racist people, the hateful people ... I was just asking these people simple questions about if they felt like the president should be impeached or not. These guys come up to me and they say, go back to Fox News to pick cotton. They say, go back to Kenya. This is who these people are, but I doubt many people in the media are going to condemn these people."

According to a Fox News producer at the scene, two men walked up to Jones near the end of the rally and told him to go back to Fox News "where there's more cotton for you to pick."

The producer said he asked one of the men: "What did you just say?" When the man made the same comment, the producer asked if he "was really going to say that," to which the man responded: "I sure am."

With Jones' camera rolling, the man confronted by the producer, wearing a gray shirt, turned his back to the camera and made an obscene gesture. The second man, wearing a red shirt, told Jones: "He'll tell you to go back to Kenya next."

"You say what now?" Jones asked.

"He'll tell you 'go back to Kenya' next," the man in the red shirt said.

Saturday's demonstration, which was attended by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., was one of several around the country calling for President Trump to be removed from office.

Jones said Monday night that the men who insulted him Saturday were "upset" and "fearful."

"They know that with our reports and exposing the poverty and the failure of policies that all these Democrat cities have been doing to many people that look like me... they believe that all black people need to think the same way. They want us to stay on the welfare system so we can't progress in life and I'm going to expose it every single day," Jones said. "If they think I'm going to stand down because they yelled obscene things to me, they got another think coming."

John Cusack blames 'bot' after being accused of sharing anti-Semitic tweet
By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News

Actor John Cusack is facing backlash for a tweet critics are calling anti-Semitic, which he later blamed on a "bot."

In a screenshot shared by journalist Yashar Ali on Monday, Cusack shared a cartoon writing, "follow the money." The cartoon shows a hand with a Star of David pushing down a group of people along with a Voltaire quote saying, "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." The tweet has since been deleted.

Shortly after the tweet was deleted, the "Say Anything" star explained to his followers that he was reacting to "pro Palestinian justice" and that a "bot" was to blame for the post.

"A bot got me," Cusack tweeted. "I thought I was endorsing a pro Palestinian justice retweet - of an earlier post - it came I think from a different source - Shouldn’t Have retweeted."

His tweets didn't stop the growing backlash. Many also blasted his tweets blaming the "bot," which critics called "absurd."

Ali, one of the first to respond to the tweet, wrote: "This is disgusting." In a later tweet, the freelance reporter added: "His bot excuse is absurd."

The actor continued to try to explain the tweet, prompting one person to write: "John, just stop. Good god."

Former Dem congressional candidate pleads guilty in death of husband: reports
By Bradford Betz | Fox News

A former Georgia Democratic congressional candidate pleaded guilty Thursday to voluntary manslaughter in the 2018 death of her husband, according to reports.

Kellie Lynn Collins, 31, was facing charges in the shooting death of her 41-year-old husband, Curt Cain, whose body was found in his home in Aiken, S.C., last August. Investigators determined he’d been shot in the back and died from loss of blood.

<strong>Kellie Collins, who was a Democratic congressional candidate in Georgia, pleaded guilty Thursday to voluntary manslaughter. </strong> (McDuffie County Sheriff's Office)

Collins and Cain had only been married for one week before his death. The Augusta Chronicle reported that Collins had been made the beneficiary of Cain’s insurance less than a month before he was killed.

The McDuffie County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia arrested Collins on Aug. 8, 2018, and extradited her to Aiken five days later, The Aiken Standard reported.

Collins had run as a Democrat to represent Georgia’s 10th Congressional District but dropped out before the 2018 election. Cain was serving as the treasurer of her campaign, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Collins initially rejected the plea deal but accepted after speaking with her lawyers, The Chronicle reported. A charge of grand larceny was dropped as part of the deal, the report said.

CNN's Don Lemon accused of assault in sexually charged encounter at New York bar
By Liam Quinn, Greg Wilson | Fox News

CNN primetime host Don Lemon was accused of a bizarre, sexually charged assault of a bartender in New York's tony Hamptons last year in a civil suit filed earlier this week.

Dustin Hice, of Florida, stated in the lawsuit that he was living in the Hamptons and working at The Old Stove Pub in Sagaponack during the summer of 2018. On July 15, after closing, Hice claimed he left with the owner and co-workers to party at another bar, Murf's Backstreet Tavern, in Sag Harbor, where they saw Lemon. Recognizing the newsman, Hice offered to buy him a vodka drink called a "lemon drop," according to the suit. Lemon declined the offer, Hice claimed, but later approached him inside the establishment.

"[Lemon] put his hand down the front of his own shorts, and vigorously rubbed his genitalia, removed his hand and shoved his index and middle fingers into Plaintiff's mustache and under Plaintiff's nose," according to the lawsuit, filed Aug. 11 in Suffolk County Court, and first reported by Mediaite.

Lemon allegedly asked a crude question about Hice's sexual preference, leaving him "shocked and humiliated," according to the suit.

"Mr. Lemon, who was wearing a pair of shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt, put his hand down the front of his own shorts, and vigorously rubbed his genitalia, removed his hand and shoved his index and middle fingers in Plaintiff’s mustache and under Plaintiff’s nose," the suit allegedly stated.

In the suit, Hice also said Lemon was different from the "Me Too" advocate who he often saw on TV.

"When the cameras are turned off, however, Mr. Lemon’s actions are in stark and disturbing contrast to the public persona he attempts to convey," the suit reads.

Hice denied going after CNN on social media, telling the New York Post: "I have never ever ranted about anyone, especially a news station. … I am a private, religious man."

Barbra Streisand tweets cartoon of Nancy Pelosi impaling Trump with giant high heel
By Sam Dorman | Fox News

Renowned entertainer Barbra Streisand tweeted a gruesome cartoon on Saturday in an apparent attempt to express her displeasure with President Trump during his ongoing feud with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

The cartoon showed massive high heels, including one labeled "Pelosi." Impaled on the black heel was a tiny Trump with what looked like blood flowing from his chest.

Streisand's tweet was just the latest attack on Trump, who she also called a "moron-in-chief" on Saturday morning. In another tweet on Thursday, the singer claimed that Trump continually showed he was unfit to serve as president.

Also on Saturday, Streisand tweeted out an article arguing for Trump's impeachment. The featured image showed a giant peach crushing the president.

Streisand previously claimed Trump made her "gain weight," said she was thinking about moving to Canada if Republicans won the House, and released a song expressing her frustration with the administration.

On Saturday, Donald Trump Jr., Trump's son, joined others in calling out Streisand's tweet.

"These undercover threats that echo innuendos of harming the POTUS will not and should not be tolerated!" commentators Diamond and Silk tweeted.

Melania Trump: Lawyer who invoked Barron Trump's name for laughs at impeachment hearing 'should be ashamed'
By Morgan Phillips | Fox News

First lady Melania Trump said Stanford Law Professor Pamela Karlan, who testified at Wednesday’s impeachment hearing, "should be ashamed” for invoking her 13-year-old son’s name as the butt of a joke during testimony.

Karlan used Barron Trump’s name to illustrate her point that President Trump can’t rule like a king.

"The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron," Karlan said in the committee room, prompting chuckles across the room.

“A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics,” the first lady tweeted. "Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it."

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham also expressed distaste for the quip.

“Classless move by a Democratic ‘witness’. Prof Karlan uses a teenage boy who has nothing to do with this joke of a hearing (and deserves privacy) as a punchline,” Grisham tweeted. “And what’s worse, it’s met by laughter in the hearing room. What is being done to this country is no laughing matter.”

Karlan was one of three legal scholars asked to testify by the Democrats in the first Judiciary Committee impeachment-inquiry hearing. The sole GOP witness was Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School.

Karlan’s Barron punchline came amid questions from Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee, D-Texas, about Trump’s conduct. “Contrary to what President Trump has said, Article Two does not give him the power to do anything he wants,” Karlan said, referencing the U.S. Constitution.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., confront Karlan later in the hearing for what he called her “little joke” about Barron.

"It does not lend credibility to your argument. It makes you look mean,” Gaetz said.

Melania Trump and President Trump have been in the U.K., meeting with the royal family and Prime Minister Boris Johnson, along with attending a NATO anniversary reception. Barron is Melania’s only child.

The Washington Post attacks Melania Trump's 'ridiculous' jacket after approving of her Christmas decorations

By Brian Flood | Fox News
After taking issue with Melania Trump's White House Christmas decorations last year, The Washington Post now has a problem with what the first lady was wearing when she unveiled this year's theme.

After skewering Melania Trump’s holiday decorations in the past, The Washington Post has this year approved of her White House decor, and decided instead to criticize the former fashion model's appearance in a widely mocked piece on Tuesday that labeled the first lady's jacket "ridiculous."

The liberal paper’s fashion critic Robin Givhan wrote a piece headlined, “Melania Trump’s Christmas decorations are lovely, but that coat looks ridiculous,” which criticizes the outfit the first lady wore when unveiling the décor.

The Post, which called last year’s decorations a “nightmare forest,” spent a single paragraph complimenting this year’s “lovely” edition before pivoting to disapproval.

WHITE HOUSE UNVEILS CHRISTMAS DECOR WITH 'SPIRIT OF AMERICA' THEME

“For her tour, Mrs. Trump wears all white: a dress with a simple jewel neckline, white stiletto-heeled pumps and a white coat. The coat is draped over her shoulders as she strolls through the White House,” Givhan wrote. “The coat looks ridiculous.”

The fashion critic said “the coat is a distraction” and “a discomforting affectation taken to a ludicrous extreme.”

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham blasted the Jeff Bezos-owned outlet.

"It has become an annual holiday tradition for the media to attack all that the First Lady does," Grisham said in a statement to Fox News. "If this was a Democratic Administration, I suspect Mrs. Trump and her work would be featured positively in every mainstream news outlet."

The first lady announced that the White House had been decorated for the holiday season with adornments inspired by “The Spirit of America,” this year's patriotic theme.

She introduced the decorations on Monday with a video, walking alongside Christmas trees glowing with white lights, later sprinkling faux snow on a tree, adjusting roses on a fireplace and fixing a miniature wreath on the traditional gingerbread White House in the State Dining Room.

MELANIA TRUMP BRUSHES OFF CHRISTMAS DECORATION CRITICS: 'I THINK THEY LOOK FANTASTIC’

“In a video that is intended to celebrate the warmth and welcoming spirit of the holiday season, that simple flourish exudes cold, dismissive aloofness,” the Post fashion critic wrote. “Her attire suggests that she’s casually passing through and has little affinity for the occasion. She’s not getting comfortable, so why should you?”

Givhan added that the first lady has “styled herself in a manner that contradicts” claims that she is an “engaged hostess who sweats the details and frets about her guests’ comfort,” instead appearing like someone who would greet “guests at the front door, tells them to remove their shoes and warns them not to sit on the Lalanne sheep.”

The piece piles on, suggesting that a coat tossed over the shoulders is a tired cliché and goes on to mock other jackets she has worn over the years.

“Her attire would be less attention-grabbing if she took off her coat and indicated that she was happy to stay awhile,” Givhan wrote.

The Washington Post defended the piece, however, telling Fox News: “Robin Givhan is a fashion critic, which means she shares her perspective on the news, trends and business of the fashion industry.”

The Post and Givhan have both been shredded on social media.

“White House Christmas decorations triggers deranged criticism,” Sen. Marco Rubio wrote on Instagram. ”‪Does anyone in the world of major media have enough self awareness to realize the damage their hatred of @realdonaldtrump is inflicting on them & journalism?"

The Post’s tweet promoting the story was also mocked, receiving nearly 4,000 negative comments compared to only 688 likes as of Tuesday morning.

Melania Trump is no stranger to ridicule from the press and a variety of mainstream media outlets bashed her holiday decorations in 2018. The Washington Post was among the critics then, too, with an opinion piece referring to Melania’s “nightmare forest” that recycled many of the derogatory comparisons made by Twitter trolls days earlier.

Last year, the first lady brushed off criticism of her White House Christmas decorations that featured a lot of red, which the first lady’s office called “a symbol of valor and bravery.” Melania Trump even invited everyone to check them out in person.

"It’s the 21st century and everybody has different tastes, I think they look fantastic,” she said at a Liberty University event following criticism of the decorations.

Melania Trump: Lawyer who invoked Barron Trump's name for laughs at impeachment hearing 'should be ashamed'
By Morgan Phillips | Fox News

First lady Melania Trump said Stanford Law Professor Pamela Karlan, who testified at Wednesday’s impeachment hearing, "should be ashamed” for invoking her 13-year-old son’s name as the butt of a joke during testimony.

Karlan used Barron Trump’s name to illustrate her point that President Trump can’t rule like a king.

"The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron," Karlan said in the committee room, prompting chuckles across the room.

“A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics,” the first lady tweeted. "Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it."

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham also expressed distaste for the quip.

“Classless move by a Democratic ‘witness’. Prof Karlan uses a teenage boy who has nothing to do with this joke of a hearing (and deserves privacy) as a punchline,” Grisham tweeted. “And what’s worse, it’s met by laughter in the hearing room. What is being done to this country is no laughing matter.”

Karlan was one of three legal scholars asked to testify by the Democrats in the first Judiciary Committee impeachment-inquiry hearing. The sole GOP witness was Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School.

Karlan’s Barron punchline came amid questions from Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee, D-Texas, about Trump’s conduct. “Contrary to what President Trump has said, Article Two does not give him the power to do anything he wants,” Karlan said, referencing the U.S. Constitution.

White Christmas lights remind me of street and porch lights.
Christmas lights ought to be festive.
The style of the coat and the wearing of the coat smacks of elitism.
Baron was not slighted not even the least bit slighted. Much ado about nothing.

Yet more drivel from Faux news...and they failed to mention that she also has a nice rack.

Oh my goodness, not an innocuous mention of Barron! They criticized Melania's attire, oh lord!

Oh my goodness, not an innocuous mention of Barron! They criticized Melania's attire, oh lord!

Typical Faux News propaganda BS...the professor apologized and admitted that she should have said it, but maris predictably decided to do his "copy and Paste" thing and Faux still felt the need make a big deal about nothing.

Trump lies and says awful things about exceptional people but refuses to apologize and his sheep think it's OK, but a professor simply uses the word "Baron" without any malice and then apologizes for it anyway and she's ridiculed ?



Gotta love the double standard.

Sorry @MARIS61 but you just stepped in a big pile of dog shit on this one......all politicians are bald faced hypocrites, but the Republican always seem to be the lead dog on the hypocrisy sleigh ride. Did we REALLY forget the abuse that was directed at 12 year old Chelsea Clinton when her father was in office??? Rush “I Need More Drugs” Limbaugh called her “the White House dog”, and “Saint” John McCain (yes, I know you don’t claim him but he was the Republican standard bearer for decades) said the reason Chelsea was ugly was because “Janet Reno was her father”. And those are just two examples of many. Perhaps you should find a ladder to get down from your high horse before you fall even farther......
