WASHINGTON — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who had polio as a child, says any of President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees seeking Senate confirmation should “steer clear” of efforts to discredit the polio vaccine. “Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous,” McConnell said in a statement Friday.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blamed the murder of a health care CEO on "people's anger" about unfair insurance practices. During a Sunday interview on Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker noted that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) suggested that Luigi Mangione allegedly shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson because "you can only push people so far and then they start to take matters into their own hands." "I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder," Warren later clarified. Sanders insisted that "Elizabeth Warren obviously understands killing and murder and shooting somebody in the back is totally unacceptable." "But what I think has happened in the last few months is that what you have seen rising up is people's anger at a health insurance industry which denies people the health care that they desperately need while they make billions and billions of dollars in profit," he added. Sanders argued that Warren "did not" applaud Thompson's killing. read more

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he expects former Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump's defense secretary unless someone comes forward to confirm anonymous allegations about alleged drinking problems and sexual assault. "I'm in a good place with Pete, unless something I don't know about comes out," Graham told NBC's Kristen Welker on Sunday.

It seems polio survivor Mitch McConnell is not a big fan of revoking the approval of the polio vaccine. After recent reporting by The New York Times that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s crazy lawyer, Aaron Siri, had previously petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, McConnell condemned the attempts in a statement released this weekend, but failed to mention either Kennedy or Siri by name. In a statement reported by numerous outlets on Friday, McConnell, who contracted the disease as a child in 1944 – 11 years before the licensing of the world’s first polio vaccine – said: “The polio vaccine has saved millions of lives and held out the promise of eradicating a terrible disease.

Here we go again with our legacy media in the US capitulating in advance to Trump: ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million toward Donald Trump’s presidential library to settle a lawsuit over anchor George Stephanopoulos’ inaccurate on-air assertion that the president-elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer E.

Fox's Jesse Watters served up a huge heaping helping of revisionist history on this Friday's The Five. During a segment discussing the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, after attacking AOC, Bernie Sanders and Michael Moore's comments on why there is so much anger out there over the health care system in the United States, Watters spewed this nonsense, pretending that Democrats had filibuster-proof majorities in Congress during all of Biden and Obama's terms in office. WATTERS: Now, the Democrats can't complain about health care because they just had all the power in the world the last four years.
