Trump rape comment sends MS NOW host scurrying for clarification

A Saturday afternoon MS NOW interview with blunt-talking Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) ended with host Alex Witt quickly issuing a response to the lawmaker calling the president a rapist.Brought on to talk about former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s appearance before members of the House Oversight Committee on Friday, where the fired former Trump official was described as “combative” and unwilling to talk about the president, the New Mexico Democrat also weighed in on reports that Trump’s DOJ is looking at investigating Trump sexual abuse victim E. Jean Carroll.“What are your thoughts on this?” Witt prompted her guest.“I mean, come on, Donald Trump, we all know that you are an adjudicated rapist, and now you're going after survivors that have held you accountable” Stansbury responded.“All of this is an attempt to try to silence people and to try to intimidate them by using the United States Justice Department as a weapon against the American people,” she continued before recalling, “And that is exactly what Richard Nixon went down for. So we can see what's happening here.”“Yeah,” the MS NOW host replied before quickly adding, “I just want to be careful because President Trump was not accused of rape, per se — he was accused of sexual abuse; so going by the proper terminology there.”According to a report from the Washington Post, Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the trial, wrote, “The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’ Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.” - YouTube youtu.be

'None of this is new': Trump defender shut down by CNN's Phillip after E Jean Carroll rant

On Saturday morning, CNN host Abby Phillip was forced to call out a New York Post journalist who went on an extended rant attacking E. Jean Carroll while justifying a possible DOJ investigation of the Donald Trump adversary.On “Table for Five,” the conversation moved from Trump’s “lawfare” slush fund, to the accusations from the Trump administration that Carroll might have perjured herself during one of her winning lawsuits filed against the president.That led the Post’s Lydia Moynihan to go off.With the entire panel talking over each other, Moynihan won out and claimed, “At this point, nothing is official. It's widely reported by CNN and other outlets. Um, basically she [Carroll] was claiming that an incident happened in 1993, 1984. She didn't have any specific date.”“That's not what this case was about, “ Phillip interjected.“But let me just walk through this case real briefly,” the Post reporter insisted before continuing, “I actually do think if you look at the E. Jean Carroll case now, there is new evidence coming to light. She says that Reid Hoffman had nothing to do with it. It turns out he may have, so that's what they're looking at. But I will acknowledge the perception for Trump is problematic.”“One quick point, a clarification of something that you said -- none of this that we're talking about here as it relates to E. Jean Carroll is new,” the CNN host lectured her. “This idea that Reid Hoffman paid for some of her legal expenses was brought to a judge. It was dealt with in the context of the case and the judge heard the arguments and said it does not impinge on her credibility. So that part of it also has been credible,” she added.“None of this is new. We've known about this for years and the judge dealt with these same allegations in the course of this case,” she pointed out. - YouTube youtu.be

Trump reveals potential replacement for artists who bailed on state fair – himself

Artists have been pulling out of the Great American State Fair en masse after discovering the event’s ties to President Donald Trump, and as the Trump administration scrambles to replace the bailing performers, the president floated on Saturday a potential replacement – himself.“I understand Artists are getting ‘the yips’ having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.“The man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists,’ and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!”Since announcing the lineup for the public event designed to celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary, “nearly all” performers have dropped out, with the organization orchestrating the event, the Trump-linked Freedom 250, reportedly being "purposefully vague” about the festival when reaching out to artists.In addition to his proposal of replacing the artists himself, Trump also floated the idea of holding another event concurrent to the Great American State Fair – a “America is Back Rally” at the “same time [and] same location,” though, unlike the fair, “only great patriots” would be “invited.”
