During Thursday’s interview with the former host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, Behar claimed Donald Trump is scapegoating immigrants and warned, “Don't forget Nazi Germany, the Jews were the scapegoat, and look what happened here.” Elsewhere, Noah claimed “some people might struggle” with a…

After Vice President Kamala Harris fumbled away friendly interviews with the likes of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy, CBS’s 60 Minutes, and ABC’s The View in the past week, Harris went on SiriusXM for perhaps the friendliest and most Notable Quotable-worth interview she’ll ever face with former shock jock, Howard Stern. For someone who made his living on indecency (and having certain guests ride…

Long after the Covid pandemic and vaccine mandates were at their peak, Hollywood is still hating on those who were wary about getting the vaccine. Case in point, Hulu’s comedy How to Die Alone, which featured a joke about an airline agent purposely booking difficult flights for “drunk anti-vaxxers.”

CNN’s Dana Bash, channeling Univision’s Jorge Ramos, ended her interview of U.S. Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) by questioning how Hispanics in that state might vote for Donald Trump. The whole thing, quite frankly, reeked of elite bigotry.

Far-left author Ta-Nehisi Coates continued his book tour on Thursday when he joined MSNBC’s Joy Reid on The ReidOut.

Kosta claimed that the debate proves that Republicans only favor diversity when it comes to whether “women should have rights,” while MSNBC’s Paola Ramos continued her book tour and implied that Latinos who support…

Vivek Ramaswamy duels with CNN's Kasie Hunt on immigration in general and the situation in Springfield, Ohio in particular. Ramaswamy recently held a town hall there, and met with leaders of the Haitian community. He expressed the view that the US should only admit immigrants who are unlikely to become dependent on welfare.

On CNN This Morning, David Frum says that JD Vance is a younger version of the racist, authoritarian, corrupt Donald Trump, with a law degree and a better haircut.
