Trump Fan Twists Himself In Knots Trying To Defend Herschel Walker’s Abortion Hypocrisy

According to many Republicans, abortion is murder and needs to be declared illegal across the country, no matter the reason a woman may be trying to terminate her pregnancy, with some on the right even going so far as to say there should be no exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother.

That hardline position is leaving many right-wingers in a difficult position when it comes to Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker, who says he’s opposed to abortion yet reportedly paid for at least two women he impregnated to terminate their pregnancies.

Such was the case with a Georgia man who was interviewed by Jason Selvig of The Good Liars.

The man — who was wearing a pro-Trump cap and told Selvig that he did indeed support Walker — was asked:

“You think abortion is murder?”

The man replied:

Selvig then asked:

“Do you think that Herschel Walker is a murderer if he paid for an abortion?” 

The man responded:

“Well, actually we’ve all done bad things.”

Once again, Selvig pressed:

“Murder is, you know — that’s one of the worst you could do, right?”

The man attempted to change the topic to Walker’s opponent, incumbent Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock:

“Warnock hasn’t repented for his sins.”

But Selvig had the perfect comeback:

“But, I mean, totally unrelated to Raphael Warnock, if Herschel Walker paid for an abortion, and you think abortion is murder, does that not make him a murderer?”

That led the man to tell Selvig:

“You know, it’s according to what you want to call murder. I mean, if you see somebody breaking into your house and you kill him, is that murder? If you accidentally run over somebody—”

Selvig asked yet again:

“Is abortion murder?” 

The man replied:

“Well, if you do that, a premeditated taking of a life, I think that is murder.”

Selvig:

“So that, by definition, if the allegations are true, he was a murderer, but that’s okay with you because he repented.”

The man continued to twist himself into pretzel shape, replying:

“Well, what is sin is sin. I mean, some sins are more long lasting.”

Spoken like a true fake Christian who has either never read the Bible or read it and didn’t understand a word about forgiveness, redemption, and sin.

Here’s the video:

WATCH Barack Obama School A Heckler At An Arizona Campaign Event: ‘Set Up Your Own Rally!’

Former president Barack Obama had the perfect comeback for a heckler who attempted to interrupt his speech during a campaign rally for Democratic candidates in Phoenix, Arizona, and video of the event has quickly gone viral.

The Washington Post reports that Obama was speaking on behalf of Sen. Mark Kelly and Katie Hobbs, who are facing Blake Masters (R) for senator and Kari Lake (R) for governor.

Republicans want “an economy that’s very good for folks at the very top, but not always so good for ordinary people,” Obama began telling the crowd of around 1,000 in a high school gymnasium in Phoenix on Wednesday.

“Like you, Obama!” a young, male heckler interrupted. “Are you gonna start yelling?” Obama replied, as the crowd erupted into loud boos in an attempt to drown out the heckler.

That’s when the former president displayed some of his signature calm and humor, telling the heckler:

“Hold up, hold up, everybody. Hey, young man, just listen for a second. You know you have to be polite and civil when people are talking, then other people are talking and then you get a chance to talk.

“Set up your own rally! A lot of people worked hard for this. Come on, man.”

Obama also noted that such interruptions are common in today’s political climate, urging the audience to stay focused on the real goal: Winning the midterm elections next week:

“This is part of what happens in our politics these days. We get distracted.”

“You got one person yelling and suddenly everybody’s yelling. You get one tweet that’s stupid and suddenly everybody’s obsessed with the tweet. We can’t fall for that. We have to stay focused.”

Arizona has been in the news lately thanks to armed thugs showing up and attempting to intimidate voters putting absentee ballots into drop boxes.

On Wednesday a federal judge ordered that a group monitoring Arizona ballot drop boxes for signs of fraud should stay at least 75 feet away from ballot boxes and publicly correct false statements its members have made about Arizona election laws. The ruling also prevents drop-box watchers from taking photos or videos of voters and using the material to spread baseless allegations of electoral fraud.

VIRAL VIDEO: Tennessee Mom Denounces Homophobic Fake Christians For Their Hypocrisy

Jessee Graham is a mother of four children who lives in Columbia, Tennessee, and she’s had enough of fake Christians who want to persecute LGBTQ Americans while at the same time saying nothing about the abuse of women and children by members of the clergy.

Graham spoke recently at Maury County Board of Trustees, NBC News reports, after the director of the public library, Zachary Fox, was forced to resign.

Fox’s resignation last week came after months of community pushback over the library’s display of LGBTQ books for Pride Month in June. Community members were also dismayed when Fox’s bar, Bad Idea Brewery, hosted a drag brunch last month.

That was the breaking point for Graham, who gave an impassioned speech to the Board of Trustees in which she noted that so-called “church” people are guilty of horrific abuses.

“I’ve never been sexually assaulted at a drag show, but I have been in church, twice. The men at the church told me it was my fault.”

Graham continued, the anger in her voice palpable as she spoke:

“They haven’t done anything to anyone. I am so sick of listening to this weird, fake pious crap about Christianity being the reason behind, ‘We have to protect the kids.’ Jesus didn’t go anywhere and condemn people! He did not ever walk into any place and spew hatred and lies and completely annihilate a group of human beings who just want to exist.

“You don’t need a moral compass to recognize that something is wrong when it immediately hurts other people So, why are we even here? Why are we even doing this? Why does hate even have a platform? I am so sick of these straight, white Christian males who are already at the top of the food chain acting like someone is out to get ’em! Leave them alone!”

Graham told NBC that attacking drag performers may be politically popular, but it’s the height of hypocrisy:

“It is hugely offensive to wipe away so many assaults that are currently being investigated at church while you’re pointing a finger at people who are just being authentic and happy. There’s not even a comparison of the two.”

How viral is the video of Graham? So far, it has been viewed over 1 million times, and if you listen closely, you can hear that many in the audience are applauding and cheering her on.

Jessee Graham is what a true American hero looks like.

Geographically-Challenged Oz Makes A Fool Of Himself And Proves He Truly Is A Carpetbagger

Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Mehmet Oz may be a doctor, but he proved his complete ignorance of the state he asking to elect him during an interview he gave to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night.

Oz, who has lived in New Jersey for years, is running against Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) for the Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Pat Toomey (R), told Hannity:

“Pennsylvania is too important. This is important, we do not have a Republican senator north of North Carolina on the Atlantic coast until you get to Maine if I don’t hold this seat. And there has been a Republican senator in Pennsylvania most of my life. I’m gonna keep one here as well.”

As Mediaite notes, Oz may own homes in multiple states, but he clearly knows little or nothing about where exactly those houses are located:

The multimillionaire does own homes in Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Two of his Florida estates are actually on the beach.

But his Pennsylvania properties do not back up to Pennsylvania’s coastline because Pennsylvania has no coastline. That did not stop Oz from pitching a very special message to voters Monday night. In essence, Oz asked them to make him the state’s next senator so the east coast can keep its Republican representation.

There is absolutely no point where the Keystone State touches the Atlantic Ocean. Never has been and never will be, which is something Oz might know if he wasn’t just moonlighting as a Pennsylvania resident in an attempt to steal a Senate seat.

Twitter users were also eager to take Oz to school on his faux pas.

Stephen King Responds To Musk’s Plan For Charging Twitter Users And It’s Absolutely Brutal

 

Even though he’s only owned Twitter for a couple of months now, Elon Musk is already losing money hand over fist on the social media site, with Bloomberg reporting that Musk’s net worth is down a cool $8 billion in the week since he paid $44 billion to purchase a controlling interest.

How to solve the massive hemorrhaging of cash from Twitter? Well, Musk floated the idea of charging $20 a month for those who want “verified” accounts, which are easily identified by the blue check mark you see next to some users, for example on MSNBC’s Twitter account:

The Washington Post reports that Musk is desperate to find ways for his new acquisition to pay for itself.

Musk is scrambling to find ways to shore up Twitter’s business and increase its revenue. Though the company is no longer public, it now has to make huge interest payments every year on the debt Musk accrued by buying it. Musk also pitched his co-investors on the deal by saying he would be able to improve the company’s business rapidly in the years after taking it over.

Right now, Twitter makes most of its money from advertising, and Musk is currently in New York meeting with advertisers to shore up relationships with them, including representatives of the biggest marketing agencies, according to an executive at one of those agencies who spoke on the condition of anonymity. But advertising won’t be enough, Musk has said repeatedly.

But the idea of charging users for verified accounts isn’t sitting well with many, including novelist Stephen King, who was eager to let Musk know that his plan is only going lead to millions dropping Twitter altogether, which could prove catastrophic for Musk’s dreams of making a mint off the site.

King let Musk have it.

Musk tried to counter with a better offer.

Others joined King and noted that since they’re providing the content for Twitter, maybe Musk should be sending them a check every month instead of the other way around.

Even an online poll shows that the vast majority of Twitter users will refuse to fork over a red cent for the right to post on the platform.

Sounds like Elon should have stuck to inheriting money from his daddy and being an insufferable asshole. At least he’s good at those.
