MAGA hardliner and Trump fluffer, Tom Cotton, joined Jake Tapper on State of the Union on Sunday morning and to say that the interview went sideways would be an understatement. Outside of the fully expected "Trump is normal, nothing he says or does is bad" bs, Cotton actually had the gall to accuse Kamala Harris (who is married to a Jew!) of being ANTISEMITIC!

TRUMP: Any Jewish person that votes for her, especially now, her or the Democrat Party, should be able to have their head examined.

At his rally last night, the felonious, disgraced former President said the same things that he posted earlier on Truth Social.

Karl Rove: “Every presidential campaign wrestles with how to use its three biggest resources—money, issues and time. The last is the most precious. Campaigns can always raise more money or generate more issues. But they can never create more time.” “This is why Kamala Harris’s campaign wisely isn’t responding to many of Donald Trump’s attacks.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, to "sue the hell out of CNN" after the outlet reported on comments he wrote on a pornographic website. During a Sunday interview on Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker asked Graham if Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump should withdraw his endorsement of Robinson. "He deserves a chance to defend himself, Mark Robinson," Graham dodged.
