Trump cornered, won't answer how he'll vote on abortion Donald Trump found himself cornered on the issue of abortion when he struggled to provide a clear stance on a Florida ballot amendment seeking to overturn the state’s six-week abortion ban. When pressed, he vaguely stated that six weeks was "too short" and that he wanted "more weeks," but he avoided committing to a definitive position. This moment highlighted his inconsistent approach to abortion, which has varied over the years depending on the audience. Following his muddled response, the president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America quickly issued a statement clarifying that Trump had not yet committed to a position. This incident underscores Trump's tendency to treat abortion as a political tool rather than a core belief, shifting his views to suit electoral needs. Trump can't handle being called "weird" Donald Trump, during a rally in Wisconsin, bizarrely fixated on defending himself against accusations of being "weird," a label he instead projected onto his political opponent, Tim Walz. Trump's insistence on not being "weird" contrasted sharply with Walz's recent emotional interview, where Walz shared a heartfelt moment with his son, showcasing his genuine and relatable character. The absurdity of Trump's rant only served to highlight his own peculiar behavior, making his attempt to paint Walz as strange seem even more out of touch. This incident underscores the growing use of projection in political rhetoric, where accusations are often leveled to deflect scrutiny from one's own flaws. From yesterday’s show: OH NO: JD Vance ATTACKS childless teachers JD Vance has faced increasing backlash for his repeated attacks on women who don't have children, often labeling them as "sociopathic," "mentally unstable," and "psychotic." Vance has expressed contempt for childless individuals, particularly women, accusing them of making the country less stable and being more sociopathic than parents. His remarks have resurfaced in various clips, drawing widespread criticism. In a 2021 forum, Vance specifically targeted Democratic leaders and Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, for not having children, suggesting they lack the moral authority to influence children's education. Weingarten responded, calling Vance's comments "gross" and insulting to modern families and teachers. This pattern of derogatory remarks highlights Vance's apparent disdain for those without children, ignoring the valid reasons many choose or are unable to have kids. From yesterday’s show: Fox ALREADY FURIOUS that Kamala will be interviewed Kamala Harris conducted her first major interview since President Biden exited the race, sparking criticism from conservatives. Critics, including CNN's Scott Jennings, argued that Harris's choice to include her running mate, Tim Walz, suggests a lack of confidence in her ability to answer questions on her own. Fox News commentator Jesse Waters also questioned the move, suggesting Walz’s presence was intended to shield Harris from difficult queries. However, joint interviews are a common practice, as seen with Trump and JD Vance last month, hosted by none other than Jesse Watters. Governor Kristi Noem further intensified the debate, alleging that the pairing was a strategy to enhance Harris's image. The controversy underscores the persistent yet flaccid conservative critiques of the Harris-Walz campaign. More on the show: -- Jesse Dollemore fills in for David.
