'But Mr. President': Fox News begs Trump for minutes as Lindsey Graham segment derails

President Donald Trump hijacked a Fox News tribute to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), ranting about voter fraud for four minutes while falsely claiming Graham had been warming to killing the Senate filibuster.Graham, a South Carolina Republican, died Saturday at 71 of a sudden aortic dissection, hours after returning from Ukraine. Fox News had Trump on Monday morning to pay tribute.Instead, Trump used Graham's death to push his stalled voter ID legislation — the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act — and to demand senators kill the filibuster to pass it.Graham had publicly and repeatedly opposed eliminating the filibuster, warning it would trigger court-packing and abolish the Electoral College. Trump didn't mention that, and instead, he told Fox viewers Graham had been coming around.He was very strong on fighting for the SAVE America Act, Trump said. He really became the primary advocate for it. And I think he would have felt the same way about terminating the filibuster.About a minute in, host Lawrence Jones tried to steer things back.And Mr. President, did you know the senator — Jones began.Trump kept going.He was really coming a long way on the terminating the filibuster, Trump continued. The SAVE America Act — it's voter ID. It's proof of citizenship. Look what happened to the kid in California. They sent a million ballots. Nobody knows where they came from.Nearly two minutes in, Jones tried again.Yeah — the host offered.Trump kept going, pivoting to baselessly allege fraud in a California congressional race. Jones cut in.But Mr. President, did you notice anything different? Jones pressed.Trump ignored him again. Millions and millions of ballots. It's impossible, he said, then turned to a California candidate he claimed had been robbed. He said he thought he won. I said, why didn't you complain?At the two-minute mark, Jones managed a single utterance.Mhmm — Jones said.Trump rolled on — into Republican candidate Steve Hilton's California governor's race, claiming he'd personally called in the FBI to stop ballot fraud there.I said, here we go. They're gonna find ballots, Trump said.Nearly three minutes in, Jones tried once more.So Mr. — so Mr. President, real quickly, did you notice anything different from Lindsey — Jones pleaded.Trump talked over the Fox News host.After three and a half minutes, co-host Griff Jenkins finally broke through, steering the conversation to Graham's defense of Brett Kavanaugh's U.S. Supreme Court confirmation.He was totally against me, Trump said of Graham's 2016 primary challenge. I'll get you in South Carolina. That didn't work out too well.Then Trump recalled Graham's moment of doubt on Jan. 6 — and scored it.So I gave him a 99 instead of a 100, Trump said.

Trump Toadie Scott Jennings Insists Gas Prices Are Not Up
Jennings tried to gloss over concerns about the pain people are feeling at the pump, and his cohort Kaitlan Collins on CNN shut him down when he tried to paint it as a non-story. On Thursday’s episode of The Source, Jennings claimed that thanks to President Donald Trump and his administration, the economy is booming. “Gas prices are not up, they’re down below 4 a gallon nationally,” he said. “Oil’s trading at 71 a barrel. We don’t run the gas price tracker on the screen anymore for a reason, you know? It’s because it’s a non-story.” After he finished reeling off other so-called accomplishments of the Republican party, Collins took him to task on what he said about gas prices being a “non-story.” “The president doesn’t think they’re a non-story, because he was sounding like President Biden yesterday, saying that these companies are gouging people,” Collins fired back. “He wants to look into it, because he doesn’t think prices are coming down fast enough. So he’s been talking about that.”read more

'He's obviously physically unwell': Trump's facial 'drooping' singled out on MS NOW
After watching a montage of clips of Donald Trump dismissing American consumers’ economic woes, an MSNBC regular noted the president’s physical decline with a new observation.Speaking with host Jacob Soboroff, attorney George Conway claimed, “I hear a longstandingly mentally ill man, a narcissistic sociopath who is cognitively declining in his elder years, becoming increasingly disinhibited.”Continuing in that vein he added, “He is somebody who basically doesn't care about anything because, you know, he's obviously physically unwell. We don't know whether he was the person who got that Eli Lilly drug through the compassionate use exemption, and we don't know exactly what his health is — he's drooping on one side.”“Did he have a left hemisphere CVA?” Conway asked while gesturing at his own face and mistakenly calling it a CB.“We don't know any of that, because they obviously would lie to us about any of it,” he added. “He just knows that he doesn't need to answer to anybody anymore, and that's why he's seeking to — he’s just basically doing whatever he wants.” - YouTubeyoutu.be

US Sen. Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized for three weeks, and it’s still not clear why he was admitted or what his condition is. Aides for the Kentucky Republican have been fiercely protective of his condition – publicly and privately – during his hospitalization. Despite requests for updates from CNN, his office has not disclosed a medical reason for the hospitalization or provided specifics on his health status beyond saying last week that he “continues to improve” and “is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters.” CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings spoke with McConnell and told CNN’s Kasie Hunt on “The Arena” the details of his conversation. 0:00 What we know about McConnell’s hospitalization 1:24 What Scott Jennings and Mitch McConnell talked about 4:26 Should McConnell be more transparent with the public? 7:02 What the lack of information tells us?
