A former MSNBC host unloaded on Donald Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance on Friday over a late-night post Vance made defending his choice to "change my tune" on the MAGA leader. Vance made a lengthy post on X, writing: "If you were to ask what caused me to change my tune about President Trump from 2016 to 2020, I could give you a few reasons. But what we're seeing in Springfield really drives it home." Vance cited "skyrocketing" housing prices, as well as rising cases of communicable diseases, crashes, crimes and even insurance premiums. He also decried the government's response to those alleged societal ills. "Confronted with many of their citizens begging for relief, our broken elites offer only scorn," he said. Vance then alluded to a racist and baseless conspiracy theory in the city, which he and Trump perpetuated this week .

During his presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, September 10, former President Donald Trump promoted the racist conspiracy theory that in Springfield, Ohio, Haitian migrants were kidnapping pets — including cats and dogs — and eating them. Harris and debate moderator David Muir clearly saw that claim as absurd, and Muir said there was no evidence to support it. Yet since the debate, Haitian immigrants in Springfield have feared for their safety — especially in light of bomb threats. The conspiracy theory has been debunked by Springfield Mayor Rob Rue and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who discussed it during an interview with CBS News .

I usually write what I hope are thoughtful pieces about American politics that feature something like a beginning, middle and end. But today, I’m going to comment on short videos I have seen throughout the week. Some refer to the news. Others refer to universal themes of our democratic condition. Either way, I think they say something interesting and important about our country, our politics and the moment we’re in. I’ll start with Kamala Harris. The vice president held two rallies in North Carolina on Thursday. In this clip, she talks about health care, a serious issue deserving serious thought. Before she gets that far, however, she respects the gravity of the subject by identifying what’s not serious. Meaning Donald Trump. During the debate, he was asked a simple question: What’s your plan for health care? He gave a long rambling joke of an answer but what everyone remembers is the punchline. “Concepts of a plan!” Harris said, quoting Trump. “I mean, we’re 54 days from this el

Peter Wehner, who has said that he left the Republican Party "because of Donald Trump," explained in a Wednesday column published by The Atlantic, how Kamala Harris completed her mission of humiliating the ex-president during the candidates' first debate Tuesday night. Emphasizing that he's "never seen a candidate execute a debate strategy as well as Harris did," in his 48 years of watching presidential debates, the former GOPer submitted that by forcing "Trump to go on the defensive," the vice president successfully "broke her opponent." "What Harris appeared to understand, better than anyone else who has debated Trump, is that the key to defeating him is to trigger him psychologically," Wehner wrote.
