@emzanotti So you’re basically mad that the Bulwark didn’t reach out to your friend Lynsey and invite her on the podcast to a deep dive on one particular allegation against a candidate they already said wasn’t their cup of tea?

[Kelly Hughes @KellyKidwell]

@JohnKolb2 @emzanotti This article just says he could be the nominee, not that it would be a good thing

[Kelly Hughes @KellyKidwell]

@emzanotti @SarahLongwell25 @BryanONolan What are you saying that she hasn’t refuted? Sarah literally said she believes her and Graham Platner isn’t a good person. What else was she supposed to say?

[Kelly Hughes @KellyKidwell]

@emzanotti @JeremyWingert79 I watched her video. She literally said Lynsey was credible and Platner wasn’t a good person. It absolutely refuted you. Or your communication is so ineffective it’s unclear what point needs to be refuted.

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

While MAGA continues to be on their high horse when it comes to Platner, I think now is a good time to remind them that they actually don’t stand for anything at all.

Here are some Trump cabinet members and other federal workers working under him that have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct. (Excluding Trump, who has 30+ accusations and lawsuits.)

• Pete Hegseth (Secretary of Defense): Accused of sexual assault in 2017 (hotel incident; police investigated, no charges filed). He paid a settlement to the accuser and has faced other claims of misconduct/abuse from ex-partners/family.

• Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Secretary of HHS): Accused of groping a former family babysitter in the late 1990s. He has publicly apologized for making her uncomfortable while saying he has no memory of the specific incident.

• Linda McMahon (Secretary of Education; also served in first term at SBA): Named in a lawsuit alleging she and her husband enabled sexual abuse/exploitation of underage boys (ring boys) by a WWE employee in the 1980s–90s.

• Matt Gaetz (nominated for Attorney General, withdrew): Faced allegations of sex with a 17-year-old and paying for sex, plus a DOJ sex trafficking investigation.

• Elon Musk (co-leading DOGE/efficiency efforts, not a traditional Cabinet post): Multiple accusations of sexual harassment/misconduct at SpaceX (e.g., exposing himself, lewd behavior, settlements).

• Rob Porter (White House Staff Secretary, senior aide with significant access): Resigned amid domestic abuse allegations from two ex-wives (physical/emotional). Trump and others initially defended him.

• George Nader (informal Middle East advisor, worked with transition/White House): History of child pornography convictions and sex abuse of minors (U.S. and abroad). Cooperated in probes but highlights vetting issues.

• Jason Miller (senior advisor/communications strategist, multiple roles): Accused in a lawsuit by ex-Trump aide A.J. Delgado of rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, harassment, and sex trafficking (related to pregnancy/abortion claims).

• Ambassadors/nominees like Andrew Puzder (EU ambassador nominee; past domestic abuse allegations from ex-wife) and others with harassment claim.

@KaizerNYC @Djm4465Darryl @micah_erfan Look, I was willing to hear Platner out, but several women are reporting abusive behavior and thus latest one is just the worst. When there’s this much smoke, there’s a fire.

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

Both of these men face extremely serious allegations.

Only one is being called on by his party to drop out.

Both sides are not the same.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

The Democrats are dumping Graham Platner.

The Republicans nominated Ken Paxton.

New: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” https://t.co/Abll3dfrMo

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

Todd Akin, Sharron Angle, Roy Moore, Christine O’Donnell, Herschel Walker, Victor Marx, Ken Paxton, oh and Donald Trump?

[David French @DavidAFrench]

How about we stop looking for "authenticity" in politicians and instead look for virtue?

For anyone who is worried about the communist threat facing America, here is some important information:

No one was eating the dogs or the cats.

No country emptied it's asylums or prisons into America.

Schools were not setting up litter boxes for kids.

America did not win the war in Iran over 30 times. It lost.

Other countries didn't pay the tariffs, you did.

DOGE didn't cut $2 trillion from the budget. It cost more than the tiny amount it did cut.

There is no communist threat. Not one person who has won a primary for Congress this year is a communist.

A political party that can't run on its record because it has been such a massive failure resorts to baseless fearmongering. That's all.

250 years after July 4, 1776, the successor of King George III pays taxes and publishes his returns. The successor of George Washington does not. https://t.co/CbIXDe8UQY

I'm a bit baffled by the people on the right acting like the sky is falling because birthright citizenship will be interpreted the same way it has been for the past one hundred years.

Exclusive: Trump is using tens of millions in taxpayer money meant for national parks to fund his desired projects, including White House paving stones he had promised to pay for, documents obtained by @michaelscherer show: https://t.co/uRQEFX2KED

@MattWalshBlog I can’t think of anything more American than leaving behind your ancestral home to build a future for your children. I can’t wait to continue sharing this country with people who look forward instead of backwards
