'Trump tried to steal your vote!' Senator reminds GA voters of ex-president’s misconduct



US Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) on Tuesday addressed voters during Vice President Kamala Harris' rally in Atlanta Tuesday, reminding them that former President Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 election in their state.

The MAGA hopeful was criminally charged last year by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, along with 18 other Trump allies info their efforts to interfere with the presidential election.

"A Florida man called into Georgia and said 'I need 11,870 votes," Warnock said to the energized crowd. "I want you to think about that,. Georgia, Donald Trump tried to steal your vote. Kamala Harris is trying to earn your vote! And she's been doing it."

Warnock, who's also the pastor of Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church — home church to Martin Luther King Jr. — continued, "This struck me with a certain kind of deep, deep frustration, as a Christian pastor — I heard Donald Trump say to a Christian group that 'If you vote for me, you won't ever have to worry about voting again. And he said that like that was some good news.

The Georgia senator emphasized, "We are the state of [former US Rep.] John Lewis (D-GA). We are the home state of [civil rights activists] Andrew Young and CT Vivian. We are the home state of Martin Luther King Jr., and you dare say to me that if you vote for me, you won't have to vote again?"

Warnock added, "That doesn't sound like freedom. That sounds like bondage. And so this campaign, folks, is about freedom. We want freedom right? I you want freedom, you Gott vote like you've never voted before!"

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

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

'It is his aphrodisiac': Ex-RNC chair explains how gag order 'stimulates' Trump and his base

Image
As President Donald Trump faces gag orders in two separate cases — one from Judge Arthur Engoron presiding over his New York civil fraud trial, and the other from Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will preside of his Washington, DC January 6 trial in March — some experts expect him to violate the orders soon. With a history of threatening and verbally attacking others, MSNBC's Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday pointed to the fact the ex-president's rhetoric influenced January 6 rioters who chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!" Noting Trump "gets deeply stimulated and excited by the violence," Wallace asked analyst and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele what he thinks the MAGA hopeful's "calculation is on whether violating these gag orders lands him in jail is a good thing or bad thing for him." POLL : Should Trump be allowed to hold office again? Steele replied, "You put your finger on two very important words t
