McCarthy calls out CNN to reporter’s face after network host said the open border is a ‘talking point’

by Leave a Comment

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called out CNN on Monday after a host on the left-leaning network asserted that claims about the southern border being “open” are “talking points.”

What is the background?

On Sunday, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) tried informing CNN host Jim Acosta of the seriousness of the border crisis, which has seen nearly 4 million migrants enter the U.S. under President Joe Biden’s watch.

But Acosta ignored the facts and offered up his best impression of a White House spokesperson.

“It’s open. I mean, nobody can deny that,” Norman said.

“The border is not open. That is something that is peddled as a talking point — it’s not true,” Acosta responded. “There are fences. There are walls. There are Border Patrol agents who work on the border.”

What did McCarthy say?

During a press gaggle at the Capitol, CNN reporter Manu Raju asked McCarthy what needs to change about his “strategy” to pass a funding bill to avert a government shutdown.

McCarthy agreed that something needs to change and knocked out two birds with one stone. On one hand, he noted that CNN’s rhetoric is wrong, while on the other he urged Republicans to keep the government funded to ensure that border enforcement authorities get paid.

“Something’s got to change,” McCarthy said. “I can refer to your network, CNN, referred to yesterday that an ‘open border’ is a talking point.

“Well, we just set a new record of 11,000 people came across illegally. The record was just Friday, a few days before, of 10,000,” McCarthy continued. “I’m not sure how you continue to report — when you see what’s going on across this nation — to continue to fund the government to secure the border? I think members should be for that.”

Customs and Border Protection sources told Fox News there were approximately 11,000 migrant encounters at the southern border from Sunday to Monday, making it the “single highest day in recent memory.”

That number, of course, excludes migrants whom authorities never encountered.

Meanwhile, the Washington Free Beacon obtained internal government documents showing the Biden administration knew that a large population of migrants was preparing to come to the U.S. months ago.

Despite their advance knowledge, the administration failed to take action, either to prepare local communities overwhelmed by the surge or to forestall the surge completely.

Does THIS prove the Left is DONE with Biden?

by Leave a Comment

It took three years, but the mainstream media is finally catching up to just how much of a disappointment America’s commander in chief really is.

And at this point, it’d be almost impossible to ignore. According to a new poll, President Biden’s disapproval rating has just hit a record high of 56%. Not only that, but his support in essential voting blocks is slipping.

Biden’s approval rating is slipping to 46% with voters in the age group 18-24, while he also has only a 43% approval rating with Latinos and 36% with Independents.

Glenn Beck, while shocked that the media is reporting on it, is not shocked that Biden is doing poorly.

“Tell me what he has accomplished, honestly. And I mean this sincerely. Can you think of anything that is, you know, his voting base would say, ‘Well, he did this’?” Glenn says.

“There’s nothing,” he answers himself.

“Not unless you’re a total moron, a real buffoon,” Pat Gray chimes in.

Meanwhile, Trump is doing great.

His lead in the GOP primary has surged, with the former president now leading by 43 points. He’s also the first choice among national Republican primary voters at 59%.

In addition, Newsweek just published an opinion piece titled “Mr. President: You’re Going to Lose to Trump. We’re Begging You to Step Down,” penned by the Young Turks’ very own Cenk Uygur.

“The old rule about incumbents was that if they are under 50 points in approval, they’re toast.” Uygur writes. “President Joe Biden is under 40. There’s almost no chance he’s going to win.”

“If you’re a Republican, Biden is a God send,” he adds.

Rep. Nancy Mace schools ABC anchor for doing Biden’s bidding on impeachment inquiry: ‘The facts are everywhere’

by Leave a Comment

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) shut down ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl on Sunday for claiming there is “no evidence” to support an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

On ABC News’ “This Week,” Karl asked Mace about criticism from Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), who opposes the impeachment inquiry. But Mace quickly dismissed her colleague’s concerns because, in her view, “the facts are everywhere.”

“There are text messages, there are emails, there are witnesses, there are whistleblowers, there are meetings, there are phone calls, there are dinners. And you can’t say, ‘Hey, there’s a little bit of smoke, we’re not going to follow the fire,'” Mace said.

“And the inquiry … gives us expanded subpoena powers. I want the bank records of Joe Biden. All of that should be on the table to prove out the allegations in the [suspicious activity] reports. We’re talking about a significant sum of money. We are talking about bribery. And in the Constitution — Article II, Section 4 — that is the basis for impeachment,” she explained.

In response, Karl claimed there is “no evidence” to support the allegations. But Mace quickly corrected him.

“There are witnesses. The [FBI’s FD-]1023 form,” Mace protested. “There is evidence. You can’t say that there’s no evidence when there is evidence.”

“There’s no evidence connected to Biden,” Karl asserted again.

The fact that Karl insisted there is “no evidence” against Biden despite not refuting anything she actually said left Mace astonished. She then reminded the journalism professional how journalists used to hold politicians accountable — at least when there was a Republican in the White House.

“It was the fourth estate. It was the media and journalists when Nixon was going down that helped do that investigation, helped bring down the president when he broke the law,” Mace said. “[Now], you guys want to deny that there’s evidence. It’s everywhere.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has repeatedly explained the impeachment inquiry gives lawmakers expanded powers to answer questions and probe whether Biden acted corruptly to enrich his family. The inquiry may not result in impeachment proceedings, but it at least allows lawmakers to follow the “smoke” to which Mace referred.

Karl’s assertion that there is “no evidence” against Biden came after the White House distributed talking points to the media, directing them to downplay the evidence that has been uncovered so far.

McCarthy forces reporter to make critical admission after she claimed impeachment inquiry launched ‘without evidence’

by Leave a Comment

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy went toe-to-toe with a reporter on Thursday who claimed he launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden “without evidence.”

During a press gaggle, Associated Press reporter Farnoush Amiri questioned McCarthy’s decision to open an impeachment inquiry — but the top House Republican quickly turned the tables.

“Are you concerned about all this stuff that was just recently learned?” McCarthy asked Amiri. “Do you have any concern? Have you asked the White House any questions?”

“Yes,” the reporter answered.

“Do you believe the president lied to the American public when he said he’d never talked to his son about business dealings? Yes or no?” McCarthy followed up.

Amiri told McCarthy that she “can’t answer” that question — but that didn’t deter McCarthy. In fact, his next series of questions prompted notable admissions from Amiri.

“Do you believe when they said the president went on conference calls? Do you believe that happened?” McCarthy followed up.

“That’s what the testimony says, yeah,” she admitted.

“Do you believe the president went to Cafe Milano and had dinner with the clients of Hunter Biden, who believes he got those clients because he was selling ‘the brand’?” McCarthy then asked.

“That’s what the testimony said,” Amiri admitted.

“Do you believe Hunter Biden when you saw the video of him driving a Porsche that he got $143,000 to buy that Porsche the next day? Do you believe that $3 million from the Russian oligarch that was transferred to the shell companies that the Bidens controlled after the dinner from Cafe Milano took place?” McCarthy followed up.

Again, Amiri admitted that each of those allegations were testified to under oath. The admission is significant because the testimony that Amiri acknowledged is evidence.

Finally, Amiri moved her goalposts. After answering McCarthy’s questions, her subsequent query was not about the veracity of the evidence but about whether lying is “an impeachable offense.”

“Well, do you want to know?” McCarthy asked in response.

That final question underscores the media problem with the Biden family allegations: the legacy media is not interested in uncovering the truth about allegations of Biden family corruption. Instead, media outlets are taking cues from the White House and downplaying what House investigators have uncovered so far.

CNN host pulls out New Mexico Constitution when governor insists she has right to suspend gun rights: ‘Where is the right?’

by Leave a Comment

CNN anchor Poppy Harlow whipped out the New Mexico Constitution on Tuesday to ask Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) what empowers her to suspend gun rights.

In the interview, Lujan Grisham repeatedly attacked New Mexico law enforcement for opposing her order, which temporarily suspends open and concealed carry rights in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. She claimed her critics have no solution for gun violence, suggested law enforcement is ignoring the problem, and asserted anyone who opposes her is using “NRA talking points.”

“It’s not for police to tell me what’s constitutional or not,” the tyrant-in-training screeched.

Ad hominem attacks aside, Harlow directly confronted Lujan Grisham over her assertion that she has the “right” to suspend rights endowed to New Mexicans by the U.S. Constitution and the New Mexico Constitution.

“But where is the right? Where is the right?” the CNN anchor asked.

At first, Lujan Grisham tried to dodge the question. She invoked abortion rights, the NRA, and a recent Supreme Court case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. But Harlow had had enough and whipped out the New Mexico Constitution.

“The New Mexico Constitution, I looked last night. Article 2, Section 6, says this: ‘No law shall abridge the right of citizens to keep and bear arms for security and defense. No municipality or county shall regulate in any way any incident the right to keep and bear arms,'” Harlow explained. “Are you not in violation of both the U.S. Constitution and your state’s constitution?”

Lujan Grisham said her order does not violate the constitutions she swore to uphold, describing the actual text of her state constitution as a “narrow reading,” as if the words themselves are an interpretation.

After the governor attacked law enforcement once more, Harlow confronted Lujan Grisham again, this time using her own admission that her order will not stop criminals from using guns. The governor denied she is using the order to make a “statement.”

Finally, Harlow posed a hypothetical: “What if a Republican governor of a state declares a health emergency and unilaterally outlaws abortion in that state, where the legislature has not done so by statute? Following your logic, would that also be sound?”

Lujan Grisham responded that suspending abortion rights would not be OK because her order is “about protecting everyone’s rights” and passing pro-life laws “is about restricting some rights.”

But as Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen (D) explained, Lujan Grisham’s order “only punishes law-abiding citizens” because “criminals do not follow the law or a public-health order,” and thus the order does not protect anyone’s rights. Tragically, that came true on Saturday when yet another Albuquerque resident lost their life to gun violence.
