CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Tears Apart Trump Attorney’s False Jan. 6 Claim

Kaitlan Collins wasn’t having it with Trump attorney Scott Gessler after he falsely claimed that the former president attempted to prevent the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 attack by authorizing the National Guard to the Capitol that day.The CNN anchor, on Friday, brought up the Colorado judge who found that Trump engaged in insurrection but rejected an attempt to bar him from the state’s primary ballot in 2024.Collins asked Gessler, former Colorado Secretary of State, if he disputed anything the judge laid out about Trump’s behavior on the day of the insurrection before Gessler replied with the evidence-free claim.“Absolutely. He did not act with intent or specific intent at all. We thought the evidence was very clear, that he made efforts to ensure he authorized the National Guard, to make sure t...

CNN Anchor Brutally Checks Former Trump Attorney’s ‘Two-Tiered’ Justice System Claim

Trusty, who resigned from Trump’s legal team after the Justice Department indicted the ex-president over his handling of classified documents, defended 45′s “right to be frustrated” with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James before criticizing the justice system.“Look, I don’t have to sign off – or sign on – on anything that the president says. But I can tell you that the grounds for frustration, the concerns about a two-tiered system, are legitimate ones,” Trusty said.Republicans have alleged that there’s a “two-tier” justice system that has victimized Trump in recent months.Collins, on Thursday, said she was going to let Trusty go but continued the interview to check his remarks.“You can’t really call it a two-tiered system of justice. Look ...

‘It’s Really Dangerous’: Liz Cheney Blames Kevin McCarthy For House GOP Chaos

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said she wishes that the chaos in the House GOP was “surprising” as she blamed ousted former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for the tumult in the party Sunday.“What we’ve seen is a result of really the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made all the way back after the 2020 election – and certainly after January 6,” Cheney told CNN’s Jake Tapper after he asked about the House GOP “fiasco” on this weekend’s edition of “State of the Union.”She continued: “And looking the other way in the face of the kind of assault on our democracy that we’ve seen from Donald Trump and his allies in the House, including Jim Jordan. Elevating those members, frankly, some of whom are white supremacists, some of whom are antisemitic, a number of whom were involved direct...

Ex-Ohio State Wrestler Eviscerates GOP Lawmaker’s ‘Fighter’ Praise For Jim Jordan

Former Ohio State University wrestler Will Knight on Tuesday tore down the characterization of speaker nominee Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) as a “fighter.” (Watch the video below.)Fellow Trumper Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) used the term in a speech nominating Jordan before he failed to get enough votes for the speaker’s gavel.The glowing reference to his time on the “wrestling mat” drew audible gasps in the House, presumably because Jordan’s stint as an assistant coach at Ohio State included accusations that he overlooked the allegations of sexual abuse of team members by school doctor Richard Strauss.Knight was one of the athletes who said he was molested, and he wasn’t impressed by Stefanik’s praise for the Ohio congressman, which CNN’s Abby Phillip replayed for him.“The funny thing is that whe...

Nancy Mace Slammed For Her Biden Impeachment Inquiry Logic

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) was slammed online over her argument for an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.Mace told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins she supports opening an inquiry because “it would give us another tool in the toolbox, specifically to look at Joe Biden’s bank records.”“Any piece of evidence, right or wrong, I want the American people to see all of it, whether it backs us up or not,” she said.“But isn’t it supposed to be the evidence that leads you to pursue impeachment? An impeachment inquiry?” Collins asked.“Well that’s what the inquiry is for, is to get more evidence,” Mace replied.The Republican-led House Oversight and Accountability Committee has been investigating Biden for months, looking to substantiate allegations he engaged in corruption and bribery linked to his so...
