There is a reason dishonest hack Josh Gerstein did not include WH Counsel Will Scharf's full comments about the founders.
Instead, Gerstein went for a pathetic dunk in a lame attempt to score political points with incoming House Democrat leadership.
Take off the jersey, Josh. There is a world of difference between what Scharf actually said and what Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia said about being motivated by "gay" "pettiness."
Here's the full clip and transcript from Scharf: "It brings home that, you know, we, we do lionize our founders, we should. They were truly great men, and we live in their shadow, but they were still men.
The thing I like the most about, you know, Brookhiser’s Gouverneur Morris biography is it really personalizes him. I mean, Gouverneur Morris, incredible attorney, incredible American patriot, an early abolitionist, I mean, just a really great man, also a famed womanizer who was proud of the story, probably apocryphal, circulated about him, that he wore a peg leg because he had mangled his leg jumping out of one of his paramour’s windows late at night.
I think it was actually a carriage accident, but the fact that Gouverneur Morris was sort of amused by this and let it sort of stand out there tells you about the, the, you know, what a character he was.
You read Madison’s notes on the federal convention, these were brilliant, brilliant people, but there’s also just a degree of, of sort of pettiness and interpersonal dynamics that comes through as well.Luther Martin of Maryland, who is on the wrong side of just about everything historically, was a noted anti-federalist, but was considered one of the truly great attorneys of the early republic.
You know, Luther Martin argues the Maryland side in McCulloch v. Maryland, he defends Aaron Burr at his treason trial, defends Samuel Chase at his impeachment trial, which is one of the most interesting moments in early American history to me. Luther Martin at one point stands up and gives, I think, like an eight-hour speech at the federal convention, and Madison records it in basically a paragraph and a half.
It’s like, at this point, Luther Martin stood up in discourse at some length, and nobody listened to him, which I’m guessing is not what actually happened.But these were two men who were clearly on opposite sides of things and, and didn’t have much, much of that personal rapport, you know, between them.But it really just brings home that, you know, the political fights that we have today, the nature of government today, you know, things can seem, you know, very hostile, very difficult. But we’ve lived through times like that in American history before, and that was certainly the case in the founding era."
On Monday morning November 9, 2026, my husband Conor suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke resulting in a deep brain bleed. He is now in the Neuro ICU, fighting with everything he has.
Anyone who knows Conor knows he lives life to the fullest and has the most enormous heart. He is the person who shows up for the people he loves, every time and without hesitation. Now he needs all of us to show up for him.
These last few days have been the hardest of our lives. We are exhausted and facing so many unknowns. I'm also overwhelmed with gratitude for the family and friends who have dropped everything to be by our side. Every day with Conor is a gift, and every small sign of progress brings hope. I wake up every morning as his wife and lean over to kiss him, thank God he is in my life and for bringing me Conor. I’m still doing that now, just from his hospital bedside.
The road ahead is long and uncertain. Conor will need critical care, rehabilitation, ongoing support, and he won't be able to work for the foreseeable future. This fundraiser will help cover medical bills and lost income, so I can focus on what matters most: being with Conor, supporting his recovery, and bringing him home.
If you're able to give, any amount makes a real difference. If you can't, sharing this page helps just as much.
And please, pray for Conor. Pray for his strength, his healing, and the days ahead.
Conor is the strongest person I know, and I believe in him with everything I have. I can’t wait for the day he wakes up, smiles at me, and says, “hi, beautiful” because that’s how he always wakes up. Thank you for your love, generosity, and prayers. They mean more than I can say.

I don’t care what your politics are, treating young staff assistants and interns like this (while filming them) for clicks online is disgusting behavior.
The Washington Post is trying to make a scandal out of Secretary Rubio traveling to attend his son's football games.
They admit he's required to travel by government plane and that his trips all comply with federal rules, but they published the story anyway to suggest impropriety.
Most parents do whatever they can to see their children compete, but the Washington Post tries to paint that as bad judgment.
Completely absurd article.
The Biden Admin turned a blind eye the countless kids who were trafficked across Biden's open border because they REFUSED to take basic precautions like confirming kids were actually related to their supposed 'family' sponsors.
Anyone criticizing this commonsense action doesn't care about the safety of unaccompanied minors, they care about scoring political points.
An 8-year-old Haitian boy was escorted by federal immigration agents inside a government building in San Diego, California, after attending an immigration check-in with a man who claimed to be his uncle.
The Department of Homeland Security said the man could not establish legal guardianship of the child, prompting ICE to classify him as an unaccompanied minor and place him in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
DHS defended the decision, saying it was made to ensure the boy’s safety, and disputed claims that he had been placed in immigration detention. Children transferred to the agency’s care are typically housed in shelters or foster homes until a suitable sponsor is found or they turn 18.
“Miller wants to spend more time highlighting administration policies he believes haven't gotten enough attention, and that will appeal to working-class voters concerned about the economy…
His priorities will sound familiar to Trump watchers: eliminating what the administration considers ‘woke’ policies from colleges and workplaces, lowering prescription drug prices, and rooting out government and health-care fraud.”
🔥🔥🔥
Here’s @StephenM full answer when asked in December 2025 when asked if the chief of staff’s job to tell the president what he doesn’t want to hear:
“No, I wouldn’t say that,” Miller replied, finding fault with my framing of the question and insisting that this president wants to hear everything.
“The chief of staff would never have to encounter the scenario you’re describing. President Trump craves, he loves the every-minute detail of management, having every piece of information, having every side of everything, having inputs into the Oval Office from every square, every quarter, every person.”
As for the president’s staff, Miller said, their job is “implementing the president’s vision, the president’s directions, the president’s agenda, the president’s plans for the future…. We’re just here on his behalf to see that that is done.”
Democrats ran on a promise to make things more affordable but they’re using their power to go after their perceived political enemies
Republicans need to step up and focus on delivering for the American people.
We need to lower costs once and for all
Dems pretended to care about kitchen table issues to get elected. Newsflash: they don’t. They just want to go after President Trump.
Republicans need show voters that they’re party who can deliver on issues that actually matter.
Insane exchange. Newly elected Democrat Adam Hamawy refuses to call Iran an adversary.
BROWN: Do you see Iran as the adversary?
HAMAWY: "We pushed them into a fight"
BROWN: But are they the adversary?
HAMAWY: "We should be making friends"
BROWN: They've been saying "death to America" for decades
HAMAWY: "We've been saying 'death to Iran'"
BROWN: They've killed a lot of Americans
HAMAWY: "And we've killed a lot of them"
BROWN: So you don't see Iran as an adversary?
HAMAWY: "I see that we are pushing Iran into a fight"
NEW: Trump's new Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is no longer recused from AI, space and Paramount issues, White House says. Katie Miller, his wife, quit her job at SpaceX and sold her shares today, exited her Paramount contract over the weekend. https://t.co/mCwD0UivxS
Dems last week: we were elected to to help the American people!
Dems today: actually we're super petty and we're just going to go after our political opponents 🤪
“Maybe it’s because I’m gay, but pettiness is a thing. We’re not going to forget these crimes.” —Rep. Robert Garcia on prosecuting Trump’s administration
New in @playbookdc: A person familiar with Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s thinking about running for majority leader told Playbook he’s “received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode. The door is not shut.”
