    Fox News host’s on-screen graphic is being compared to the infamous “14 words.” Rumor has it Republicans are liking Carlson as a presidential candidate for 2024, no doubt to continue Trump's racist legacy.
    That graphic:



    I'll add that Carlson called Sen. Tammy Duckworth a "coward" for not debating him.

    The heir to the Vanderbilt fortune just called a veteran who lost her legs defending this country a "coward". If he wants to protect this nation's heritage she should f*** off of the airwaves forever.

    This is a new low, even for Fox News.

    When it comes to Faux News, there IS no bottom. Meanwhile, Carlson should count his lucky stars Sen. Duckworth won't give him the time of day, because she'd gut him like a fish in a debate.

    Thing is, he wouldn't debate her, he'd just shout over her.

    And she doesn't owe him a debate or "debate". You don't owe Nazis a "debate" to spread their views, and I think that philosophy applies to Tucker's dumb ass.

    In both 2015, as well as 2016, "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" published profiles of Justin Harris, a member of the Arkansas House of Representatives who we covered not so much for his radically socially conservative record or that he was a theocrat who wanted Bible studies to be an actual elective course in Arkansas schools, but for the fact that he was involved in a scandal where he adopted two girls, then decided they were afflicted by demons, tried performing exorcisms on them, and then "rehomed" them with a former employee who he had fired who then started molesting the girls (all the while, collecting subsidies on his adopted children, who he no longer had in his home). Revoltingly, nobody registered on the ballot against Harris, and this story broke almost literally at the deadline to file for the 2014 elections... so he won another term in office unopposed. Because "rehoming" adopted children was legal at the time in Arkansas, he was not found to have committed a crime, but ignored calls to resign from office during the scandal. In fact, the self-righteous tool got on social media to quote scripture about being unfairly accused, and the Lord would "laugh at the wicked", showing us all that he felt HE was the real victim. Republicans and conservatives in Arkansas seem way too comfortable with his sordid history, as somehow, don't ask me how, he was given the “Power Of Courage” award by “The Family Council Action Committee” forhow he “demonstrated courage by standing strong in faith when situations were tough at the State Capitol and they did so with grace" and was "consistently a model of Christian values in his home, community, and church.” Unless the FCAC was giving this award out ironically, I think they need their heads checked. Let's just be glad that Harris will no longer be a fixture in government, at least.

    On this date in 2017, "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" published its profile of Wendy Long, a two-time loser in attempts to be elected to the U.S. Senate in New York. In 2012, she allowed Sen. Kristen Gillibrand to win her Senate seat by the largest margin in New York history. In 2016… well, given how Sen. Chuck Schumer was one of the more popular senators in his home state, there weren’t a lot of GOP candidates looking to line up to take a crack at him… he was thought to be more formidable than even Gillibrand four years earlier. But, some New York pundits started trying to chip away at Schumer’s support with the Jewish community after the Obama administration and Democrats managed to approve a treaty to curb Iran’s nuclear program that they felt was too lenient. That opened the window that maybe someone could give Schumer a run or his money… and unfortunately for Republicans, the only candidate that came through that window was Wendy Long. After all, Wendy Long has been a friend to lunatic conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza for a quarter century now, going all the way back to when both were in college together and while working on the school newspaper “accidentally” published an excerpt from Hitler’s Mein Kampf about how “warding off the Jews was doing the Lord’s work”, on Yom Kippur of all days. D’Souza actually managed to try and act like he was the victim after the two were forced to apologize for the actions of an “unnamed staffer”. Anyhow, D’Souza was convicted of election fraud, believed to have been in his attempts to get his old pal Wendy elected by making illegal straw donations to her campaign. Well, Long was already established as wanting to govern as a Catholic, outlawing abortion, gay marriage, and wanting to even push back against birth control. She eventually couldn’t pretend to be sane any longer herself, and got on Twitter to post about how a neighborhood had become crime infested after a “mosque displaced a church”, earning her the criticism of her own party. She was only warming up. Wendy Long started speaking in front of the Oath Keepers, the infamous anti-government militia group that will support anyone who lets them still have easy access to guns, and not be treated like the paranoid domestic terrorists that they are. Again, Wendy was keeping some interesting company. Finally, she hyperbolically referred to Chuck Schumer as an “enemy of the Constitution”, at an event that declared him one of the Oath Keepers’ “dirty dozen Marxist traitors in America”. Wendy Long only got 27% of the vote against Schumer. Considering she had yet to pay off over a quarter of a million dollars in debt from her FIRST attempt to be elected to office, she probably should have probably sat out her second one or spent the money on a good therapist.

    On this date in 2018, “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day” published a profile about Gary Emineth, who was a 2018 candidate for U.S. Senate in North Dakota, and please do note the past tense we used in that introduction. Eminith is by no means a political outsider, though, having served several years as a member of the Republican National Committee and as the Chairman of the North Dakota GOP. He last ran for a seat in the North Dakota state legislature back in 1984, and 34 years later, he decided to take a crack at U.S. Senate. The main problem with Emineth’s candidacy was that he apparently forgot all the horrible things he had posted on Facebook over the past several years that were collected by CNN’s K-File, and got reminded of them, one after another, in a live interview back home. Perhaps the most inflammatory post was Emineth submitting a poll question to his followers as to whether or not there should be a government ban on mosques. (For those who paid attention in basic civics courses, such a ban would be a violation of the First Amendment on the grounds of violating someone’s freedom of religion.) Anyway, a stammering Emineth could only defend that by saying he “only retweeted it”. But that wasn’t the only thing that was found on his Facebook page. There was also a post where Eminith complained about “a bunch of Arabs” during a protest by Palestinians against Israelis (hint: not Arabs) and another where he referred to President Obama as a “POS”, and he gave several explanations for what the abbreviation was supposed to mean, before settling on it being a typo and he meant to type “POTUS”. There was then a third post that compared people on welfare to wild animals that shouldn’t be fed, which Emineth didn’t deny that meaning of, and that he actually was making a valid point. Needless to say, it wasn’t long thereafter that Emineth realized he wasn’t going to help his party win a seat in the Senate, and Emineth’s candidacy literally only lasted about a week and a half.Instead, Emineth submitted himself as a candidate for the North Dakota State Senate, choosing instead to challenge Democratic State Senator Erin Oban in District 35 of the State Senate, and still lost in that race by about 9% of the vote.

    On this date in 2019, “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day” profiled Jasmine Saavedra, who ran for Congress to try and be the U.S. House Representative for California’s 44th Congressional District. Saavedra, a dedicated Trump supporter who is already out of her gourd enough to be one of the few “Latinos for Trump” (she’s an immigrant from Nicaragua… and… apparently doesn’t seem to realize she’s not Trump’s kind of person…) said her top priority in Congress was to see to getting the border wall built. If there’s not already enough hypocrisy to make you sit down, Saavedra seemed to think embracing the very worst kinds of bigotry that Republicans can muster would be a great way to fundraise, and decided to stalk a transgender woman around town, then post a live video to Facebook where she did her best to gather a mob of customers from around a Denny’s restaurant when that woman used the restroom to storm in to harass her. Facebook banned Saavedra from their platform for violation of terms. Suffice to say, this did not prove to be a winning strategy in a blue-leaning district in a year where Republicans got shellacked in California, and Saavedra was under criminal investigation for her actions. Jazmina Saavedra somehow was the top Republican candidate for this seat, finishing with a whopping 10% of the vote in the primary, and failing to qualify for the general election. Her political career, as it was, seems to revolve around getting kicked out of bars and restaurants and play the victim, even in red states. As such, we will set aside her profile at this time and take a look at another kooky Republican today instead. (Current crazy/stupid scoreboard, is now 887-45, since this was established in July 2014.)

    Joey Saladino

    Welcome to what is the 887th original profile here at “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day”, where we’ll be discussing Joey Saladino AKA Joey Salads, who was a 2020 candidate for U.S. House of Representatives for New York’s 11th Congressional District, hoping to knock off sitting Democratic Congressman Max Rose and flip his seat back red. Now, Joey Saladino aka Joey Salads should not be confused with the Joseph Saladino, a Republican who served on the New York State Assembly from District 9 from 2013-2017. Because one is a political legacy whose father was a New York State Supreme Court Justice and resigned after it was revealed he pocketed $16,000 of Hurricane Sandy relief money he wasn’t entitled to, and the guy we’re profiling today, Joey Salads, is a racist troll who, when he isn’t just s***posting as many racial slurs onto Twitter as he can, makes “prank” videos today that are just him harassing people in bigoted scenarios like going to a black neighborhood with an “ALL LIVES MATTER” sign, and then playing the victim if anyone confronts him about it.

    Which kind of makes him the endgame of current Republican campaign strategy, when you think about it.

    Perhaps the most jarring of those videos would be the one where Saladino turned up at a Trump rally wearing a Nazi armband as a “prank”, and oddly most other attendees seemed fine with it. And the Republican Party was fine with having a candidate for office who posted a video of himself peeing into his own mouth onto the internet.

    No, that’s not hyperbole.

    Joey Saladino dropped out of the Congressional race in December of 2019, but is a gross enough racist that even Twitter suspended him permanently in May of 2020. Here’s hoping his whole “business model” of likes and views goes in the toilet, where his soul apparently did.

    What interesting is that she said that she'd appear but that Tucker owed her an apology first. Somehow he spun his into her being a coward. He also called her silly and unimpressive...then why'd you want her on the show in the first place Tucker?

    There was also the prank where Joey parked a car that had Trump signs on it and it was attacked by black men. It quickly came out that he had staged the whole thing.

    As much as I'd love to have you guys visit, if you are from one of these states then maybe next year.

    And, if you are from one of these states, I wish you luck and good health.

    Amy Kennedy and her clan sideline a Norcross' New Jersey political machine I Stile

    When squaring off against an entrenched political machine, it certainly helps to have the the glamour and muscle of the Kennedy dynasty on your side.

    That was a key takeaway from Tuesday when Amy Kennedy, a fourth-generation south Jersey native who married one of President John F. Kennedy's nephews, scored a stunning victory in the Democratic primary for the 2nd Congressional District.

    Kennedy defeated Brigid Callahan Harrison, a Montclair State University political science professor, and Will Cunningham, a lawyer and former investigator of the House Oversight Committee.

    Kennedy will now take on Jeff Van Drew, who defected to the Republican Party last December, a move that drew national attention and the grateful embrace of President Trump. The fall contest now looms as a showdown between a progressive Democrat with Kennedy cachet against a veteran Cape May county lawmaker and Trump loyalist.

    I haven't been out of the house in Arizona without a mask and gloves since March, and I've been awestruck at the number of people who STILL AREN'T MASKING UP.

    Hey, if I had my legs pop off me like gory Roman candles and then went on to run a damn marathon, win a political office, and then shoot for being President, I’d feel I’d have nothing left to prove.

    I suspect Tucker (seriously, how did he end up with a last name for a first name?) himself honestly doesn’t sincerely believe what he’s saying, but hey, gotta keep the viewer base riled up for ratings.

    Tucker Carlson has two last names and no first names because he is always 'Last'.

    Kanye West Says He’s Done With Trump—Opens Up About White House Bid, Damaging Biden And Everything In Between

    Oh...boy....

    • That he’s running for president in 2020 under a new banner—the Birthday Party—with guidance from Elon Musk and an obscure vice presidential candidate he’s already chosen. “Like anything I’ve ever done in my life,” says West, “I’m doing to win.”
    • That he no longer supports President Trump. “I am taking the red hat off, with this interview.”
    • That he’s ok with siphoning off Black votes from the Democratic nominee, thus helping Trump. “I’m not denying it, I just told you. To say that the Black vote is Democratic is a form of racism and white supremacy.”
    • That he’s never voted in his life.
    • That he was sick with Covid-19 in February.
    • That he’s suspicious of a coronavirus vaccine, terming vaccines “the mark of the beast.”
    • That he believes “Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work.”
    • That he envisions a White House organizational model based on the secret country of Wakanda in Black Panther.
