The ‘MOST disingenuous piece of reporting’ on latest Trump assassination attempt

4 days 9 hours ago


When another alleged would-be assassin set his sights on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the room was full of journalists across the political spectrum.

And despite the threat on Trump’s life, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes their coverage of the event has only continued to prove the media’s bias and hypocrisy.

“You would think that when he was almost assassinated again and they were there to witness it, that maybe they might be able to fairly and accurately cover the story, but no, actually, they can’t,” Gonzales says.

“That’s actually just how bad they are and how evil they are. They just, in true arrogant, narcissistic fashion, they just wanted to make it about them,” she continues, before playing a clip of CBS News’ Weijia Jiang.


“This is a room full of reporters. So, I know you’ve already seen the president’s tweet. My apologies, his post on Truth Social,” Jiang said at the WHCD after the attempted assassination. “And law enforcement has requested that we leave the premises consistent with protocol.”

“I said earlier tonight that journalism is a public service because when there is an emergency, we run to the crisis, not away from it. And on a night when we are thinking about the freedoms in the First Amendment, we must also think about how fragile they are,” she continued.

“I saw all of you reporting, and that’s what we do,” she added.

“‘Our job is so dangerous,’” Gonzales comments, mocking Jiang. “‘It’s all about us. ... Our freedoms are under attack. The right for us to do our jobs is under attack.’”

“Actually, lady, the reason that we are in the position that we are in, where people are after the president as much as they are, is because you guys continue to misrepresent and distort reality and stir up a bunch of little activists who go on to then try to murder Donald Trump,” she continues.

“So, I’m just not having it from you. I’m really not,” she adds, pointing out that just moments before the attempted assassination, a journalist on CNN said that Trump “figuratively” wants “journalism dead.”

However, the coverage only got worse as the week went on.

“This one is going to take the award for the most disingenuous piece of s**t reporting from the most insufferable and arrogant excuse for a news anchor there is: Norah O’Donnell from ‘60 Minutes,’” Gonzales says.

“The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, ‘Administration officials, they are targets.’ And he also wrote this, ‘I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.’ What’s your reaction to that?” O’Donnell asked Trump in an interview.

“Well, I was waiting for you to read that, because I knew you would. Because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” Trump responded. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”

“You should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I’m not any of those things,” he added.

“We all know what you’re doing,” Gonzales says, referencing O’Donnell. “He knows what you’re doing.”

“Stop embarrassing yourself,” she adds.

Why Democrats are willing to overlook Graham Platner's Nazi-tattoo scandal

4 days 9 hours ago


As the 2026 primaries ramp up, Democrats may be forced to embrace a scandal-ridden candidate most infamously known for an apparent Nazi tattoo.

Maine's Democratic Senate primary flew into a tailspin after Gov. Janet Mills dropped out of the race this week, leaving Graham Platner as the presumptive nominee.

'He's a blind date for the Democratic Party.'

Platner pitched himself to voters as a blue-collar veteran, but his talking points were quickly overshadowed by a myriad of scandals, including some politically incorrect comments about black people and, of course, the alleged Nazi tattoo. Notably, Platner has since gotten the tattoo covered up.

"I think this is a democratic rebellion against Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Senate establishment," Democratic strategist Len Foxwell told Blaze News. "We know that Chuck Schumer's name is mud among rank-and-file Democrats who feel that neither he nor his leadership have been nearly effective enough in counteracting the policies and the rhetoric of this president."

The frustration with Democratic leadership may be the driver behind the embrace of Platner, who, despite the Nazi controversy, is speaking to an audience that feels disenfranchised by the establishment. These same scandals would be disqualifying for most political candidates, but several Democrats have already begun making excuses for Platner's political missteps.

"He's been very clear about the fact that he went into combat on behalf of the United States," Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said in an interview with Punchbowl. "He went through a really rough period, PTSD-type period, and he has himself said that there are lots of things he's done and said that he completely regrets. And I do believe people should have second chances and that people can learn from their mistakes."

Even though Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer recruited Mills himself, he is now hesitantly backing Platner as the presumptive nominee to face off with Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.

"After years of allowing Trump's abuses of power, Senator Collins has never been more vulnerable and we will work with the presumptive Democratic nominee Graham Platner to defeat her," Schumer said in a joint statement with Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

Prominent progressive commentator Adam Mockler was pressed about Platner's controversial past. CNN's Abby Phillip listed out some of Platner's offenses and asked Mockler if it would be acceptable if a Republican candidate were caught in the same scandals.

"I think we're entering a new era," Mockler said. "And we'll see what the base wants. We'll see who wins when the actual election happens. But for the past decade, Democrats have been unified by our opposition to Donald Trump, and now, Graham Platner has a forward-looking message."

Although it's hard to imagine a political landscape where Democrats willingly overlook Platner's baggage, Foxwell argues that Platner's appeal is not just pragmatic but also genuine.

"They are more inclined to lash out at the establishment and to take a risk on a blind date, which I believe Graham Platner is," Foxwell said. "I believe he's a blind date for the Democratic Party, and he has enormous political upside. He is a strong, natural political athlete, but he is by no means the safest candidate to send against Susan Collins in November. He has a lot of baggage, and Susan Collins is going to have a massive amount of money at her disposal to reinforce those negatives to the electorate."

"Susan Collins is obligated to make this race against Graham Platner, and Graham Platner's path to victory is all about making the race about Susan Collins and Donald Trump," Foxwell added. "Victory is going to go to the one who is ultimately successful."

WATCH: Scott Jennings tosses F-bomb at liberal during HEATED CNN panel on Iran

4 days 10 hours ago


A debate over the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran nearly ended in fisticuffs on a CNN panel between Scott Jennings and a liberal commentator on Thursday.

Adam Mockler of the liberal MeidasTouch Network pointed to inflation and higher gas prices to argue that the decision to attack Iran has been a failure for the Trump administration.

'Do you have the attention span of a gnat? Is that what you have?'

Jennings argued that the war has been successful insofar as it has significantly set back Iran's program to gain nuclear weapons. Others on the panel argued that the U.S. was the aggressor in the war, while ignoring Iran's previous attacks.

"I mean honestly they have been at war with us for 47 years," said Jennings.

"We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with the letters I-R-A that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt," Mockler responded.

"I was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars. Now this war is failing," he added.

"Eight weeks is endless to you? Do you have the attention span of a gnat? Is that what you have?" Jennings laughed.

"I debated you on TV four to six weeks ago, and you said we were weeks away from it. Now you're making condescending remarks because you can't defend the fact that this war is not going your way," Mockler pressed on.

"Not going your way?" Jennings repeated, exasperated.

"Name one political concession!" Mockler continued.

"Get your f**king hand out of my face! First of all," Jennings said sternly.

CNN host Abby Phillip stepped in to calm the panel down.

"I'm not going to have this guy's hand in my face," Jennings added. "Honestly."

Mockler went on to jab at Jennings in a post on social media.

"MAGA beta male with low emotional control and high cortisol CRASHES OUT on young man preoccupied with war," he wrote along with a video of the altercation.

Also in the mix was Geraldo Rivera, who countered with his own experience covering a previous attack on U.S. soldiers by Iran.

"In 1983, I was in Beirut when the Marine Corps barracks was blown up by a suicide bomber sponsored by the Iranians. Two-hundred-thirty Marines died," he said.

Kat Abughazaleh, a progressive journalist who ran unsuccessfully for Congress, replied by suggesting that the murder of 230 Marines had a statute of limitations.

"That's awful, that's terrible, but it's not 1983," she said.

CNN published 10 minutes of the debate, including the altercation between Jennings and Mockler on its YouTube channel.
