NEW: President Trump praises the safety and unprecedented scale of the FIFA World Cup held in the United States, calling it the most successful in history:
"We didn't even have a protest... Part of it was that people just wanted to pull together. This country for like a four week period just pulled together. It's really amazing."
Leggo che alcuni esponenti dell’opposizione mi chiedono di prendere le distanze da un video realizzato con l’intelligenza artificiale, diffuso da un altro partito di opposizione, nel quale sono stata inserita a mia insaputa.
Lo faccio senza alcuna esitazione. Quel video non appartiene al mio modo di essere, né al mio modo di intendere il confronto politico. Ho sempre pensato che la politica debba misurarsi con le idee, con il consenso e con il voto dei cittadini, mai con l’intimidazione, con l’odio o con la rappresentazione violenta dell’avversario.
Proprio per questo, però, mi aspetto la stessa chiarezza da chi oggi mi rivolge questo appello.
Mi aspetto che gli stessi esponenti della sinistra trovino il coraggio di prendere le distanze quando un assessore del Partito Democratico arriva a evocare i fucili contro gli avversari politici. Mi aspetto la stessa fermezza quando autorevoli rappresentanti istituzionali della sinistra, davanti a vicende ancora al vaglio della magistratura, scelgono di alimentare un clima di contrapposizione che finisce per delegittimare le Forze dell’Ordine e offrire il pretesto a chi trasforma le piazze in luoghi di violenza.
La condanna delle parole d’odio, di ogni incitamento alla violenza e di ogni forma di intimidazione politica non può valere solo quando è utile alla polemica del momento. Deve valere sempre. Senza eccezioni. Senza doppi standard.
Considero da sempre la violenza, in qualsiasi forma si manifesti, una dimostrazione di debolezza e di insicurezza. Chi è davvero forte non ha bisogno di ostentarlo. È una convinzione che non cambierò mai.
Per questo continuerò a respingere ogni forma di odio e di violenza, a difendere il confronto civile e a rispettare il lavoro di chi serve lo Stato, anche quando significa assumersi la responsabilità di esporsi in prima persona.
Mi auguro che tutti abbiano lo stesso coraggio.
Mitch McConnell’s wife Coco Chao was seen leaving the hospital today to visit her husband while wearing a mask.
Who on earth is still wearing a mask?
This is more evidence that McConnell’s health is so poor they are making people around him mask up.
Why wasn’t she wearing a mask in the photo McConnell’s staff released the other day? 🤔
Just more evidence it was an AI photo or an older photo.
Con la sentenza definitiva per l'omicidio di Saman Abbas si chiude una dolorosa vicenda giudiziaria.
Saman, giovane di origine pakistana in Italia, è stata uccisa dai suoi genitori e da alcuni familiari dopo essersi opposta a un matrimonio forzato e aver rivendicato il diritto di scegliere liberamente il proprio futuro.
Nessuna sentenza potrà restituirle la vita, ma è giusto che i responsabili di questo barbaro delitto siano stati condannati in via definitiva.
In Italia non c'è spazio per chi pretende di negare, in nome di presunte giustificazioni culturali o religiose, la libertà, la dignità e la vita di una donna. Questi sono principi irrinunciabili sui quali non arretreremo mai.
Il mio pensiero va a Saman. Che possa finalmente riposare in pace.
Lindsey Graham's final phone call is being revealed, as he dialed one senator's staffer in desperate need of help.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville is sharing new details about Sen. Lindsey Graham's final moments, revealing Graham called his scheduler after returning from an overseas trip and said, "Listen, I'm having chest pains. I need to do something."
When asked, "Did you call 911?" Graham replied, "No, that's the reason I called you." Tuberville said the scheduler immediately called 911, and "by the time she got there, 911 had knocked the door down, and they were working on him."
Tuberville said, "Lindsey basically worked himself to death," noting Graham rarely took time off and was always traveling to "work out something for our country."
Axios also reported Graham delayed seeking medical attention before his scheduled appearance on Meet the Press, saying, "I can't die now. I still need to do the Russia sanctions, get Iran sorted out and do Israeli-Saudi normalization."
Honored to be able to welcome Darline Graham to the U.S. Senate today.
I know she will carry on Lindsey’s tireless service for South Carolina, and I look forward to serving with her.
🚨BREAKING: Nikki Haley is reportedly considering a run for South Carolina Senate Primary (Lindsey Graham's vacant seat).
I live in SC... oh HELLLL NO! OmG!
This pic is from 2017, when I was reporter. I think it was on the White House South Lawn.
He was a pleasure to cover. His questioning at hearings was always sharp (and entertaining). He would always stop if you needed a quote. He invited me on a CODEL to the 2019 Munich Security Conference. Behind the scenes, he was gracious and down-to-earth. Regardless of what you think of him politically, he was a kind person and had a huge impact in the Senate and on foreign policy.
Rest in Peace, Senator Graham.
Like so many, I’m deeply saddened by the passing of my friend of 25 years, Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey devoted his life to serving our country with conviction, courage, and an unwavering sense of duty. But, importantly, the man behind the public figure was deeply devoted to his family, a kind and generous friend and blessed with a great sense of humor, punctuated by a sharp wit.
While his time on earth has been cut short, he will be remembered by history as a consequential and impactful leader with an enormous heart for America.
Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you for a lifetime of service. May God comfort those who love you and may He grant you eternal peace.
President Trump says he spoke with Sen. Lindsey Graham just hours before the South Carolina Republican's sudden death.
"He sounded great, actually. He said he was tired, but he wanted to pass the Save America Act. And I said, 'Well, we're going to get it done, Lindsey. We're going to get it done. I'll see you soon.' We thought maybe we might even meet today. And then that was it," Trump said.
A legacy left behind.
Lindsey Graham was barely into his twenties when he lost both his parents. In the middle of college, he became the one raising his sister, Darline.
Whatever you thought of his politics, he carried a weight most people never have to carry. And it made him a fighter.
Please keep his sister in your prayers as she grieves the brother she once called "kind of like a brother, a father, and a mother rolled into one."
Rest easy, Senator.
"FOX & Friends" co-host and South Carolina native Ainsley Earhardt reflects on Senator Lindsey Graham's life and legacy.
Graham served South Carolina in elected office for 34 years, from his time in the state legislature in 1992 until his death.
US Senator Lindsey Graham has died at 71 after a "brief and sudden illness," his office said.
The South Carolina Republican was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002, won reelection three times and had been seeking a fifth Senate term after winning the Republican primary last month.
President Trump called Graham a "true American Patriot" who "will be greatly missed."
BREAKING: Sen. Mitch McConnell says a recent fall left him briefly unconscious and hospitalized, but doctors found no broken bones, concussion, heart attack, stroke, tumors or hemorrhages.
