'Can you believe any of that crap?': Trump voter says he has a 'trust issue' with Musk



David Hayes, a Colorado bison rancher and three-time Trump voter, wants the government to be smaller, but he isn’t a fan the way Elon Musk is doing it. He shared his frustrations about Elon Musk with CNN in a segment aired Monday.

“I don’t know how many people he's fired,” Hayes said. “And you know, Musk keeps saying, ‘Well, I found a billion dollars of waste here.’ And Social Security. There's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that are collecting it that are between 100 years old and 150. Can you believe any of that crap? You can't substantiate it. You can't believe it. So that's a trust issue.”

Musk’s claim that dead people are collecting social security has been disproven.

Hayes called the president “unfocused” and “arrogant.” Still, he said he would still vote for Trump if he had a do-over of the 2024 election.

Colorado Trump voter Esmerelda Ramirez-Ray, a conservative independent, approves of Trump’s whirlwind first month.

“I voted for that. I love it,” she told CNN. She added: “I voted for a president that was going to put America first. I voted for a president that was going to secure our borders and I voted for a president that was going to make sure that we were respected throughout the world. And I believe I'm getting that.”

Ramirez-Ray works as a court interpreter for defendants who don’t speak English.

“She agrees with Trump that some who cross the border illegally are violent criminals, but she wishes he would add that the overwhelming majority are good people,” said CNN’s John King.

“I was raised as a migrant worker, working in the fields. Those are the people that are out there picking their crops. So even though I support Trump, I don't believe that he's the end all be all savior of humanity. Nobody is,” she said.

"Half of the Trump voters we spoke to raised some questions about Elon Musk and about what's going on and about what they see as chaos, and so I wouldn't shoot up any flares yet; we're only a month in ," King told CNN host Jake Tapper. "But if you're a Republican in Congress, pay attention to those 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...

'Uniquely egregious': Judge orders newspaper to delete editorial criticizing government

Image
Without even conducting a hearing, a Mississippi judge ordered a local newspaper to remove an editorial criticizing local officials over a lack of transparency. The Independent reported Wednesday that the Clarksdale Press-Register in Clarksdale, Mississippi has since deleted the editorial in question following an order handed down by Hinds County Chancery Court Judge Crystal Wise Martin. The editorial called out municipal leaders in Clarksdale for not properly notifying the public about a hearing on proposed tax increases. Judge Martin's order accused the paper of "reckless disregard of the truth," and asserted that the editorial disrupts the local government's "legitimate function to advocate for legislation they believe would help their municipality during this current legislative cycle." "The notice was posted at city hall as required by law and said stated the city would 'give appropriate notice thereof to the media,'" the editori...

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
