| Not Sorry White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany continued to defend the clearing of protesters from Lafayette Park before President Donald Trump's Bible photo op last week, when asked by reporters at Monday's briefing.
On the question of whether Trump is “sorry” for how things went down, McEnany said, “No. The president is sorry about the fact that Antifa wreaked havoc in our streets and the failure of some members of the media to note that.” She then named CNN names to blame.
President Bone Spurs
Meghan McCain dropped the hammer on President Trump as The View returned from hiatus to review the last two weeks of civil unrest following the death of George Floyd.
"Trump has always prided himself and shown himself to be this big, bad, tough guy," said McCain. "All I see is president bone spurs who seems quite scared of the crisis that’s coming out in front of him."
All In Fox Business host Kennedy declared she’s “all in” when the topic of the "defund the police" came up on Fox News Channel's Outnumbered, Monday.
“I have a whole list of things I would like to defund, and if we’re talking about responsible, rational cost-cutting, I’m all in," said the Fox host.
Speaking of Defund the Police Former Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden broke with the liberal groundswell in an interview with CBS News that will air in full tonight.
In the preview clip, Biden says "No, I don’t support defunding the police" when asked by anchor Norah O’Donnell.
But, says Biden, he does support "conditioning federal aid to police, based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness"
For her part, Sen. Kamala Harris said that Trump and others reacting with outrage to the "defund the police" movement are being deliberately misleading.
"It's just creating fear where none is necessary," said Harris on Good Morning America. She also said it means reform, but that reform "doesn’t mean we get rid of police, of course not.”
So what is the "defund the police" all about? Mediaite's Ken Meyer looks deeper into the topic here.
Nosedive In its latest daily tracking poll, Rasmussen Reports showed a six-point swing overnight in the president’s approval ratings. After clocking in with 47 percent approval and 52 percent disapproval among Americans on Monday, Tuesday’s poll showed Trump at 44 percent approval and 55 percent disapproval.
Also from Rasmussen For the first time, a majority of Americans now believe that black Americans are treated unfairly by the police, according to another new survey. Plus a record number for believing that discrimination by police is "a bigger problem than crime" in low-income areas.

As a result, Fox News recaptured the primetime lead in the demo, as the top shows battled it out.
Rallies to resume RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel seemingly surprised co-host Steve Doocy on Tuesday when she said in a Fox & Friends visit that the Trump campaign is probably going to be holding “full rallies” in the coming weeks, despite the Covid-19 threat.
"Journalism is in trouble" Fox News’ Howard Kurtz said Monday the New York Times kerfuffle over Sen. Tom Cotton is just the latest reason that “journalism is in trouble.”
“If we’re at a point where even one of the nation’s largest newspapers feels it has to cave and attack a piece that it commissioned from a United States senator, whose view about the military actually has majority support in many polls — this is not a fringe guy pushing some fringe idea — then I think journalism’s in trouble, Kurtz told host Dana Perino.
"This is why a major chunk of the country no longer trusts the media," he said. 6.5.0 |
