White Supremacists Are Celebrating Vivek Ramaswamy’s ‘Great Replacement’ Rant

For months, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has been dog-whistling to supporters of extremist far-right ideologies and wild conspiracy theories like QAnon. On Wednesday night, at the fourth Republican presidential debate, Ramaswamy went full tilt: After blasting the three other debaters for turning on former president Donald Trump, Ramaswamy argued, without evidence, that the January 6 Capitol riot was an inside job, the 2020 presidential election was stolen, the government had lied about 9/11, and the “deep state” was responsible for all these things.Then, Ramaswamy claimed that the “great replacement theory is not some grand right-wing conspiracy theory, but a basic statement of the Democratic Party’s platform.” The great replacement theory is a widely-debunked conspiracy tha...

Laura Ingraham Says Nikki Haley’s Strong Showing In Debate Is Political ‘Suicide’

Nikki Haley got rave reviews on her performance in the third Republican presidential debate ― but Laura Ingraham was troubled by where some of the praise came from: mainstream media. (Watch the video below.)“Well, it’s nice to get good press. I do get that,” the Fox News host said. “But politically, this is suicide for Nikki Haley. There’s no future in the Republican Party for someone who’s been endorsed by Politico and The New York Times. So Nikki Haley can be a media hero or she can be a leader in the GOP, but she cannot be both.”While Haley was not officially endorsed by the Times, Opinion section writers there did compliment her with the headline, “She Certainly Beat All The Boys.“Crisp and confident. She refused to let her opponents’ attacks go unanswered,” one wrote. “Neoconservatis...

Nikki Haley Takes On the Scum at the Third Republican Debate

The Republican Presidential primary has been a curiously hidden contest: with Donald Trump effectively boycotting the trail, the remaining candidates have mostly struggled to draw the attention of potential supporters and the political press, both of whom seem sure that the real action is elsewhere. But by the end of the third Republican debate, on Wednesday evening, the main development of the primary had become clear. Nikki Haley is the best debater in the field, and she would probably be the G.O.P.’s most effective opponent to Joe Biden. “Do you want Dick Cheney in three-inch heels?” Vivek Ramaswamy, who has been baiting the former South Carolina governor all campaign, asked the audience at one point. Haley’s response drew cheers: “They’re five-inch heels.” But she didn’t disavow Chene...

Trump, Ducking Debate, Blasts His GOP Rivals On Social Media

DeSantis challenged Trump to appear on the debate stage, saying voters had a right to hear from anyone gunning for the White House.The Trump campaign went a step further after the debate ended, calling on the Republican ...

Ron DeSantis’ leaked presidential debate advice, calling it “the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a long time.”The New York Times on Thursday published documents detailing debate and campaign strategies for the Republican presidential candidate that were posted on the website of Axiom Strategies, a company owned by the chief strategist of DeSantis’ super PAC, Never Back Down.After the Times reached out for comment Thursday, one particular memo was removed from the website.

Chris Christie Says Trump’s Ego Won’t ‘Permit’ Debate Without Him

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Sunday he didn’t believe Donald Trump’s suggestions that he might skip the first Republican primary debate next month because his 2024 rival’s ego won’t allow him to miss such a big event.“I think he’ll be there because, look, I’ve known him for a long time,” Christie said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” “His ego, I think, will not permit him to have a big TV show that he’s not on. And I think he’d be enormously frustrated sitting back in Bedminster and watching what I’m going to do to him on that stage in absentia.”Trump remains the front-runner in polls of potential GOP presidential hopefuls, with a wide gulf between himself and his next-closest competitor, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. But a dozen people are vying for the Republican nomination, ...
