‘Dr. Fauci has a huge ego’ and ‘mistakes were made’: Bob Cusack

Washington Examiner executive editor Bob Cusack said Dr. Anthony Fauci’s Senate hearing was significant, but argued that lawmakers undermined its impact by how they conducted the proceedings. “I think the emphasis of the hearing is a bit off,” Cusack said Wednesday on CNN’s Laura Coates Live. “Having the hearing is a good thing because mistakes […]

MAGA Republican abruptly ends presser rather than disavow son-in-law's Nazi posts

A Senate candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump fled a rural Georgia press conference Thursday rather than answer questions about his son-in-law, white nationalist influencer David Alan Scheer II.Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) abruptly ended the event after reporters peppered him with questions about a CNN report that found Scheer had built a large online following promoting white nationalist ideology, sharing Nazi imagery, and posting antisemitic conspiracy theories.Collins is the Republican Senate candidate challenging Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) in November. "We fully addressed that, but Jon Ossoff refuses to disavow these Democrat socialist movements in our country," Collins said, according to Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, when reporters asked him to condemn his son-in-law's statements."Could you address the question regarding anti-Semitism?" a reporter asked.Collins deflected with a list of complaints about Ossoff's votes on spending, cash bail and immigration."These aren't Georgia values, y'all. That's what he needs to answer to," the candidate said.Then he packed up his notes, and a reporter followed him out."You don't want to talk about your son-in-law at all? Do you embrace him in the family? Share his views?" the reporter called out.Collins did not respond.CNN's reporting found that Scheer — who is married to Collins' daughter and lives on a Collins-owned property — promoted Patriot Front, the white supremacist group that marched through Washington, D.C., over the July 4th weekend. "There's nothing wrong with White Nationalism," Scheer wrote in YouTube comments, according to the CNN report.Scheer also warned in a podcast that white people faced extinction and called for "clearing our land of other people."Collins quietly removed Scheer's photo from his campaign website after the CNN story broke.Trump's pick for the Georgia Senate seat has not condemned his son-in-law's statements."Nobody speaks for me, and I don't speak for anybody else," Collins said when asked about the controversy last week.In a statement, Ossoff called Collins "a known bigot and antisemite" and said his ties to Scheer disqualified him from office."Mike Collins has always stood with the Jewish people and Israel, and condemns all forms of antisemitism, no matter the source," deputy communications director Sam Densmore said, not addressing Scheer directly.

GOP senator snaps at 'mistaken' Trump as Todd Blanche turmoil heats up

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) fired back at President Donald Trump on Wednesday, saying opposition to his IRS tax settlement runs far deeper than just two senators.At 11:15 AM, Trump wrote on Truth Social that acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was "a STAR" with the potential to be "one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time."He blamed Cornyn and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) — "both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action" — for blocking the confirmation.Just seven minutes after Trump backed down, Cornyn rubbed salt in the wound by responding to Trump on X."POTUS is mistaken if he believes concerns about the provisions in his tax lawsuit settlement are limited to me and Senator Tillis," Cornyn wrote on X.The standoff forced the Senate Judiciary Committee to scrap a scheduled Thursday vote on Blanche's nomination, a setback for one of Trump's top Cabinet picks, MS NOW reported."I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd's name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office," Trump wrote on Truth Social, threatening to pull the nomination entirely and resubmit it once both senators leave office.Earlier Wednesday, before Trump's post, Cornyn and Tillis had told Politico that someone inside the White House — not Trump himself — was blocking a deal."I don't know who it is — I'm just trying to get them out of the way so we can get the president his AG," Tillis said."If this were just between me and Todd Blanche, we would have worked this out, but, apparently, he's getting some pushback from higher ups at the White House," Cornyn said, adding that he did not know who was responsible. "I don't know who, but it doesn't need to be this hard.""Why don't you call over the DOJ and tell them they have one hour and 50 minutes to get me what I asked for," Cornyn told reporters Wednesday afternoon, as negotiations with the Department of Justice dragged on, MS NOW reported."What I've advised the chair, and I would assume Senator Cornyn said something similar, is that we're not prepared to vote yes yet," Tillis said Wednesday night, confirming neither senator had moved.

'Begging!' Cornyn-bashing panel erupts in laughter at standout Republican's 'courage'

Sen. John Cornyn’s demands of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche provoked roaring laughter on MS NOW on Thursday morning.A fit of giggles overtook the “Money Power Politics” panel as they tried to discuss Republican senators balking on Blanche — and whether or not he should replace Pam Bondi.“By the way, just to go back to [Texas Senator] John Cornyn and [North Carolina Republican] Thom Tillis, and they're not exactly profiles in courage” Ayman Mohyeldin said. That led to host Stephanie Ruhle to cover her face with her notes as she burst into laughter.Contributor Pablo Torre had set up Mohyeldin with a comment.“All of the economic corruption, the abuse persists because it's not being regulated by someone like an attorney general," Torre said. "And so the question of, do you want this system to keep spinning? This is a moment in which people have the opportunity to say, we should all get out of the car.”A now laughing Mohyeldin continued, “When you kind of nail this story down to what it's about, they're asking Todd Blanche in the Department of Justice to put in writing, to put in writing what?”“It’s so embarrassing,” Torre interjected.“Yeah, literally,” Mohyeldin continued over the laughter. “They're like — they're begging him. They're like, ‘Please just put it down in writing what you said to us in the hearing, like you already said it to the world, the world heard it, but we know it doesn't mean anything in the world.’” - YouTube youtu.be

Republicans strangle bill to block Trump's IRS immunity deal

The Senate Finance Committee just voted down a check on the Trump administration's efforts to shield him from tax audits, according to a new report. Republicans in the Senate Finance Committee defeated the Democrat's block in a 14-13 vote as part of committee work on a broader tax-administration bill, Politico reported Thursday.While Democrats argued Trump's audit immunity arrangement amounted to an abuse of power, Republicans claimed the Senate committee wasn't the correct venue to address it. “This is not the place,” said committee chairman Mike Crapo (R-ID). “If this bill were to become the vehicle where this issue is resolved, it would achieve basically making this bill a partisan bill” and that “would turn this bill into a bill that has a much dimmer future for becoming law.”Lawmakers later approved the full bill at 26-1 with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) casting the lone dissenting vote.“No other taxpayer, ever, has gotten this kind of a deal,” Warren said. “I cannot support a bill that rubber stamps Donald Trump’s corruption. Congress needs to stand up and put a stop to it.”The audit immunity plan originated in May, when the administration proposed exempting Trump and his family from IRS audits in exchange for dropping a lawsuit against the agency over a contractor's leak of Trump's tax information to the New York Times.Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who sits on both the Finance and Judiciary committees, has pushed for changes to narrow the plan's scope — limiting it to the parties named in Trump's lawsuit and to tax returns already filed, rather than future ones.Cornyn has said Blanche agreed to those terms verbally during his confirmation hearing but has not yet put them in writing, prompting the Judiciary Committee to postpone a scheduled vote on Blanche's nomination while negotiations continue.Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), another Republican critical of the original immunity plan, said he believes the administration is negotiating in good faith to resolve the outstanding objections.It remains unclear whether any revised version will be enough to satisfy Democratic critics of the arrangement.
