| The Family Feud The war between President Donald Trump and husband to Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, George Conway, continued and escalated in the form of an official campaign email this week.
In an email with a subject that reads “The Lincoln Project Losers are Scam Artists,” the Trump campaign hit back at the Anti-Trump group of Republican political influencers who recently published a damning campaign spot that painted his leadership amid the coronavirus pandemic in the least charitable manner.
It's a group that includes not only Conway, but notable 'Never Trump' figures Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt, both regulars on CNN and MSNBC.
The Trump campaign email labeled the group "scam artists" and even took a shot at MSNBC host (and fellow former Republican) Nicolle Wallace.
Speaking of MSNBC
Morning Joe opened Thursday morning’s show with a montage featuring what can charitably be called President Donald Trump’s inconsistent rhetoric on the coronavirus and how his administration has handled it.
The montage culminated in an Oval Office moment from Tuesday—which happened to be National Nurses Day—in which the president snapped at a nurse for saying PPE supplies have been limited and "sporadic" during the pandemic.
The MSNBC hosts then ripped Trump over his reaction and suggested he lacks an "empathy gene."
Fleecing the President Democratic strategist James Carville called Trump's campaign team a “pack of grifters” who know he won’t win the 2020 election and lie to him about it. “His campaign manager got two condos, a Ferrari, a yacht, a Range Rover and they’re all just fleecing the campaign," he said at one point in the epic rant. "This is all about making money and they’re going in there and giving him fake polls.”
Russia Probe Redux
In a blast from the past, Fox & Friends slammed the Mueller investigation on Thursday over a new, mostly-unredacted memo the Justice Department released this week.
Co-host Brian Kilmeade lamented that the release took so long before unleashing about what he says the memo reveals. "The probe shouldn’t have been launched, money shouldn’t have been wasted, the legal fees through the roof," he said.
Ainsley Earhardt agreed, saying it “just proves what the president has been saying,” that “we never would have known about this if Hillary Clinton were elected. Think about all the lives ruined because of this.”
About that memo
The Department of Justice on Wednesday released a copy of a memo outlining the scope of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and the potentially criminal activity Mueller was authorized to examine. Law&Crime has all the details.
CBS denies fake news claim
CBS News pulled footage of cars supposedly lined up for coronavirus testing at the Cherry Health Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the network said Wednesday, after an allegation the line had been partially faked.
“CBS News did not stage anything,” the network said in a statement to Mediaite. “Any suggestion to the contrary is 100 percent false."
They pointed a finger at the hospital staff for the situation.
Spiking guidelines CNN reported new details on the Trump administration’s decision to shelve new CDC guidelines for reopening the country that included concerns over the business impacts and objections that faith-based institutions were “unfairly targeted.”
“A senior CDC official who tells me, as of late last night, the writing was on the wall that the White House would not implement their 17-page recommendations on reopening America," correspondent Nick Valencia told co-anchors Erica Hill and John Berman.
