'Full white-power': Trump lawyer blasted for blatant 'racism' during PA rally



Just hours after Donald Trump said to a room of Black journalists that he "didn't know" Vice President Kamala Harris "was Black until a number of years ago," one of the ex-president's lawyers also suggested that she also doesn't know the presumptive Democratic nominee is Black.

Alina Habba, who represented the MAGA hopeful in his New York civil fraud case earlier this year, spoke at her former client's Harrisonburg, Pennsylvania rally Wednesday, telling rally-goers: "I am a strong woman. A mom, a lawyer, and an American."

The MAGA ally continued, "And unlike you, Kamala, I know who my roots are, I know where I come from, and I don't play around with the constitution."

Several journalists and political experts immediately slammed the Trump lawyer for her "weird" remarks.

Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko said: "This afternoon was apparently just a warmup for this evening’s racism"

USA Today columnist Rex Huppke commented: Jeeeeeeesus. I guess they looked at Kamala Harris' polling surge and said, "F*ck it, let's go full white-power movement."

Media Matters for America writer Eric Kleefeld wrote: "The Republican Party is now officially running on a campaign that you can’t trust biracial people."

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5...

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I...

Trump was hit by glass fragments — not a bullet: report

Image
Law enforcement officials have claimed to two different sources that former President Donald Trump was not grazed by a bullet but rather by glass shards. The officials in question told both Newsmax's Alex Salvi and Axios' Juliegrace Brufke that Trump was hit by glass shards that may have erupted from the shattering of a teleprompter that was hit by gunfire. Earlier on Saturday, law enforcement sources confirmed that the person suspected of firing a weapon at a Pennsylvania Trump rally had been killed, as had at least one person in the crowd. Videos showed Trump grabbing his neck after apparent gunshots had been fired before Secret Service agents pulled him to the ground. They then took him away in an armored vehicle to a hospital where he was treated for injuries. The identity of the shooting suspect has not yet been released. from Alternet.org https://ift.tt/ILgqr53 via sinceretalk
