‘Craven’ Mitch McConnell condemned for ‘shockingly racist’ remarks about Black voters
Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell was widely criticized for suggesting Black Americans were not fully American.
“Well, the concern is misplaced,” McConnell said. “Because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans.”
McConnell’s remarks were quickly condemned online.
‘Nail in the coffin’: MSNBC analyst explains why Steve Bannon and Mark Meadows are ‘in deep doo-doo’
“It’s a real problem for them,” Katyal told MSNBC on Wednesday night. “Remember, Steve Bannon has been indicted already for contempt for not giving these answers to Congress, so he’s facing criminal charges. Mark Meadows is on his way to the same thing. Both of their defenses to contempt is executive privilege, and the Supreme Court today blew that out of the water.”
“So that means that these two individuals really do have to go and talk to the investigators in Congress, but it also more significantly means the Trump signature move – which is not just to hide these documents, but all these people from testifying on live televised hearings in Congress, he was going to invoke executive privilege for all that — that’s now decimated by the Supreme Court’s ruling.”
“So it’s going to be very hard for all these folks, not just Bannon and Meadows, but (Trump lawyers Rudy) Giuliani and (John) Eastman and the whole cast of characters, to avoid having to testify,” Katyal said. “They can try other arguments, like the Fifth Amendment and so on, but today is a real nail in the coffin for them.”
Steve Bannon rails against ‘scumbag’ Lindsey Graham for supposedly being secret MAGA ‘traitor’
During his daily “War Room” podcast, Bannon said he was not surprised to learn that five GOP senators secretly harbored anti-Trump thoughts.
“The five traitors, and this is the scumbags and slimeballs you have here in the nation’s capital, he got five Republican senators have told him they agree with what he’s doing,” Bannon fumed. “They agree with what he’s doing and they would vote and support him, but they’re afraid of, wait for it, the War Room Posse.”
Trump campaign officials, led by Rudy Giuliani, oversaw fake electors plot in 7 states
Trump campaign officials, led by Rudy Giuliani, oversaw efforts in December 2020 to put forward illegitimate electors from seven states that Trump lost, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the scheme.
The sources said members of former President Donald Trump’s campaign team were far more involved than previously known in the plan, a core tenet of the broader plot to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory when Congress counted the electoral votes on January 6.
Giuliani and his allies coordinated the nuts-and-bolts of the process on a state-by-state level, the sources told CNN. One source said there were multiple planning calls between Trump campaign officials and GOP state operatives, and that Giuliani participated in at least one call. The source also said the Trump campaign lined up supporters to fill elector slots, secured meeting rooms in statehouses for the fake electors to meet on December 14, 2020, and circulated drafts of fake certificates that were ultimately sent to the National Archives.
Trump and some of his top advisers publicly encouraged the “alternate electors” scheme in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada and New Mexico. But behind the scenes, Giuliani and Trump campaign officials actively choreographed the process, the sources said.
