'War of words': MAGA infighting turns nasty when Fox News host attacks Trump’s Middle East envoy



President Donald Trump's stranglehold on the Republican Party is so strong that countless GOP lawmakers and governors are in constantly fear of saying or doing anything that might offend him. Yet there is plenty of infighting within the MAGA movement and among Trump's supporters.

"War Room" host Steve Bannon and SpaceX/Tesla/X.com leader Elon Musk are both major Trump allies, but there is considerable bad blood between them.

Meanwhile, far-right Fox News host Mark R. Levin and Steve Witkoff, Trump's Middle East envoy, are bitterly attacking one another and having what Mediaite's Isaac Schorr describes as an "online war of words."

Levin took offence to Witkoff's comment, "The neocon element believes that war is the only way to solve things."

In a May 9 post on X, formerly Twitter, Levin wrote, "The envoy talks like the fifth column isolationists. Nobody believes war is the only way."

In a subsequent post, Levin tweeted, "By the way, neocon is a pejorative for Jew. Unbelievable."

The American Conservative's Kurt Mills attacked Levin's posts, tweeting, "'Fifth column.' This Fox host groundlessly calls Trump’s chosen envoy a traitor to the United States. Perhaps the White House will stop granting Levin interviews or access to POTUS."

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
