Bill De Blasio Says He Won't Call For Rent Freeze

Ahead of CNN's jaw-dropping story on Trump-endorsed N. C. gubernatorial candidate, Mark Robinson, he firmly denied the allegations, saying, "You know my character." Yes, Mark, we do. We know all about Robinson, who thinks the LGBTQ community is "filth," and yet it's been revealed that he watched trans porn. Robinson is on film at a church saying, "Some people need killing." We know that he wanted no exemptions for abortion, even though he later revealed that he and his wife, who ripped off the Girl Scouts (!!), had an abortion procedure.

How long before Trump's sycophants on Fox are trying to pretend he's never heard of Robinson either? Watters interviewed Robinson earlier this year, so good luck with that lie, pal. After reports broke that Christian nationalist extremist Mark Robinson, who's running for North Carolina governor, made a series of inflammatory comments on a porn site, Fox has been loath to discuss the story and only ran a few short segments on it all day. During one of them on this Thursday's The Five, Jesse Watters made some snide remark about not knowing who Robinson was (whether he was being serious or not, who knows) and his fellow panel member Greg Gutfeld did his best to excuse Trump's support of Robinson, as though there weren't already hundreds of reasons for any sane person to distance themselves from Robinson already, but it's Trump we're talking about, so birds of a feather. TARLOV: And what's a really interesting state in there is North Carolina, which is a big target for the Democrats.

Trump's former MAGA economic advisor Larry Kudlow could barely contain his fury after the stock market hit record highs Thursday in response to the Fed cutting rates on Wednesday. Kudlow, like most Wall Street folks, have been demanding rate cuts for some time from the Federal Reserve and the Street knew it was coming Wednesday, but when Powell finally did it, Kudlow whined and tried to create a conspiracy theory that it was strategically done to benefit Kamala Harris. What a putz.

Representative Glenn Grothman (R-All you can eat buffet) went on C-SPAN's Washington Journal and made the wild claim that, because of the Democrats, immigrants were coming into the country and immediately voting. His proof? Just a hunch: GROTHMAN: Why did all but three Democrats vote against a provision yesterday that you have to prove that you're a citizen before you vote?

ABC, along with most of the media, is more despicable everyday.
