The Ellipse is where a presidential candidate is making final plea to save democracy. |
Former president Donald J. Trump did an emergency press conference to address voter problems in counties friendly to him. He appeared over an hour and half late, rambled on about immigration, complained about Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden and the usual bullshit that he vomits out.
He then made a play on Fox with the most annoying ass kissing, word vomiting, gas bag of human excrement we know as Sean "Softball" Hannity.
If Trump loses, I hope Fox retires that annoying piece of shit. His show is stale and boring. Most viewers rather change the channel whenever Hannity vomits the same tired crap on his right wing shitshow.
He isn't Rush Limbaugh.
He isn't Alex Jones.
He isn't Bill O'Reilly.
He isn't Mark Levin.
He isn't Tucker Carlson.
He isn't Glenn Beck.
He isn't Joe Rogan.
Hell, he isn't Michael Savage. At least these agitators have character, a strong following, good ratings and legacy. Be as it may, these agitators are going to be in the history books despite their controversies.
Hannity will be a blip on the books. He will have no one remember him.
He will die a miserable man. He may be a good at appealing to conservatives and MAGAland in the media, but even they can't stomach him. He is the most annoying media personality in the history of television.
Trump claims he didn't know the guy. That idiot had him as "Kill Tony". They previewed the script and it was on the teleprompter. They invited him to speak and give his endorsement. You can't be serious.
This comedian may have cost Trump the election. If this does come to fruition, I will make sure this will be on the 2024 Yearly Wrap Up.
The vice president made her closing argument at the Ellipse, the site where Trump instigate his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol. That event will go down in history as a moment of infamy.
Everything between 1/20/2017 until 1/20/2021 was chaos under Trump. Do not let the Republican Party change history by claiming President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were responsible for the unrest in 2020.
Biden was a private citizen and Harris was a senator. Trump failed to address the controversies with racial justice and the pandemic.
Harris plans to lay out her campaign’s closing argument by returning to the site near the White House where Trump helped incite a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol in January 2021 — hoping it will crystalize for voters the fight between defending democracy and sowing political chaos.
This "I alone can fix it" nonsense. This buffoon is not serious about the presidential campaign. |
Her campaign says Harris will give a speech at the Ellipse on Tuesday — one week before Election Day — and will urge the nation to “turn the page” toward a new era and away from Trump.
The site is symbolic, since it’s where Trump delivered a speech on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was convening to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the election that past November. In it, Trump lied repeatedly about widespread voter fraud that had not occurred and urged supporters to fight. Hundreds then stormed the Capitol in a deadly riot.
Word of the speech came from a senior Harris campaign official who insisted on anonymity to discuss an address that is still in development. The Harris campaign is betting that her speaking at the Ellipse can provide an opportunity for the vice president to stress that the country no longer wants to be defined by a political combativeness that Trump seems to relish.
Trump has promised to pardon those jailed for their role in the Capitol attack should he reclaim the presidency during the election Nov. 5.
Closing arguments are important opportunities for candidates to sum up their campaigns and make a concise case for why voters should back them. Trump’s campaign suggested he’d begin framing his closing argument while addressing a rally last weekend in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Instead, the former president spent more than 10 minutes talking about the genitals of the late, legendary golfer Arnold Palmer, who was born in Latrobe.
Her team announced the coming Ellipse addressed before Harris attended a CNN town hall in suburban Philadelphia on Wednesday night, where she took questions from an audience of undecided voters as part of what was once envisioned as a debate with Trump. Harris had said she would participate in a CNN debate but the two sides never worked out a formal agreement. CNN said it also invited Trump to a town hall. but that it didn’t happen.
Harris told the audience that Jan. 6 saw a “president of the United States defying the will of the people in a free and fair election and unleashing a violent mob who attacked the United States Capitol.”
The first audience question was from a self-described “anti-Trump Republican” who was concerned about the Jan. 6 attack.
“I believe the American people deserve better, and they deserve a president who is focused on solutions, not sitting in the Oval Office plotting every day,” Harris said.
Trump rather get his interviews from lemmings like Sean "Softball" Hannity. |
When it comes to Jan. 6, about 4 in 10 likely voters in a CNN poll from September said the economy was their most important issue when deciding how to vote, and about 2 in 10 said protecting democracy was. That compared to about 1 in 10 who named either immigration or abortion and reproductive rights.
Protecting democracy also seems to be more important to Democrats and Harris supporters. Roughly 4 in 10 voters who back Harris call it their top issue, compared to about 2 in 10 who say that about the economy. For Republicans and Trump supporters, about 6 in 10 name the economy as their top voting issue, followed by immigration. Only 5% of Trump supporters said protecting democracy was their top issue.
During the town hall, Harris said Trump is “increasingly unstable and unfit to serve.” Asked directly if she thought her opponent was a fascist, Harris responded, “Yes, I do.”
A short time later, Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt responded, “Kamala will say anything to distract from her open border invasion and record high inflation.”
During the event, Harris was asked how her presidency would be different from Biden’s given that she’s been a part of his administration for nearly four years — a question she’s answered in recent weeks without naming major contrasts. This time, Harris seemed better prepared to talk about how things would be different, saying, “My administration will not be a continuation of the Biden administration” and saying she represented a “new generation of leadership on a number of issues.”
Urged by some allies to apologize for racist comments made by speakers at his weekend rally, Donald Trump took the opposite approach on Tuesday, saying it was an “honor to be involved” in such an event and calling the scene a “lovefest” — the same term he has used to describe the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Trump gathered supporters and reporters to his Mar-a-Lago resort two days after a massive rally at Madison Square Garden featured a number of crude remarks by various speakers, including a set by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe in which he joked that Puerto Rico was a “floating island of garbage.” Some of Trump’s top Republican allies have condemned the remarks, and his campaign took the rare step of publicly distancing itself from Hinchcliffe’s joke, though not the other comments.
But given the opportunity to apologize at multiple events and in interviews Tuesday, Trump instead leaned in. Speaking at his Florida resort, he said that “there’s never been an event so beautiful” as his Sunday rally in his hometown of New York.
“The love in that room. It was breathtaking,” he said. “It was like a lovefest, an absolute lovefest. And it was my honor to be involved.”
