Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump insisted Sunday she had "no idea" after appearing on podcasts that Russia allegedly funded. In an interview on NewsNation, host Chris Stirewalt asked Trump if the RNC was concerned after the Department of Justice revealed a Russian influence operation to push Kremlin-friendly messages in conservative media. "I think it's always concerning when there's anyone other than an American citizen or Americans trying to decide and influence American elections," Trump argued.

The felon had a brain fart at his rally on Saturday in Mosinee, Wisconsin, where he gave a shoutout to his friend "Leon" Musk. If this were just one error or blunder, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the 78-year-old's slip-ups are becoming more frequent. "Boeing had a little — I shouldn't say," Donald told the crowd.

When Lara Trump became co-chair of the RNC, it surprised no one she pledged to use all of the committee's resources to help Donald Trump. But what nobody could've predicted was Lara would find time to pursue a singing career w/ a metal-scraping-pavement voice. There's a screaming goat in here - and it sounds better than Lara.

In 2016, Republicans said that Trump would change after he was sworn in and become more Presidential. That never happened. In 2020, his Republican enablers forgot their 2016 promise and disregarded their hero trying to overturn a fair election.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) defended former President Donald Trump's Jan. 6 attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election by claiming that Americans who opposed his effort were "in the minority." During a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week program, host Jonathan Karl told Sanders that former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) was supporting the Democratic presidential nominee because she believed Trump was "unfit for office." "How do you square [Harris'] record that you just talked about, which is obviously debatable and will be debated, with what happened at the end of the Trump presidency where he did try to overturn a presidential election, tried to overturn a Democratic election?" Karl wondered. "I do think she actually is significantly in the minority here," Sanders pushed back.
