| Not the kind of history he wanted to make Tuesday evening, Rep. Joe Kennedy III made history, being the first in his famous political family to lose a congressional race in Massachusetts. His challenge to incumbent Sen. Ed Markey flopped, with Markey winning the Democratic primary by a comfortable and unchallengeable margin.
The race also exposed some interesting divisions among liberal ranks, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsing the Kennedy scion but younger progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez throwing her support behind the septuagenerian Markey.
Kennedy can always run again, of course, but he'll be out of the game until at least 2022 -- he had to give up his congressional seat to take on Markey.
Photo-Op Fraud
Trump's visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin was always going to be controversial, with unrest after the shooting of Jacob Blake still simmering and state and local leaders publicly saying that they did not want the president to visit.
But Trump's visit to several burned-down businesses ignited new controversy when it was revealed that one of the owners who posed in front of the ashes with the president wasn't actually the owner at all.
Tom Gram bought Rode's Camera Shop from John Rode III eight years ago, and when the White House contacted him to arrange a photo op, Gram declined, not wanting to be a part of a "circus." So he was shocked to see Rode standing in front of the burned-down shop with Trump, pretending to still be the owner.
Gram was annoyed, to say the least, and this time didn't shy away from the cameras. Watch his remarks here.
LAW AND ORDER! While in Kenosha, the president who loves tweeting "Law and Order!" held a roundtable with local law enforcement officials. He complained about antifa and Attorney General Bill Barr weighed in too.
"Fans"?
John Pierce, the attorney for Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old facing murder charges for shooting protesters in Kenosha, posted a video online that drew shocked reactions. In the video, Pierce is shown speaking to his client on speakerphone, and asking Rittenhouse to say a message of thanks "to the fans."
Besides the highly questionable ethics of an attorney exposing his client in a public statement like that, the characterization of Rittenhouse as having "fans" -- even accepting the defense' argument that this was self-defense, many understandably found the idea of cheering on the death of two young men very ghoulish.
Watch the video and decide for yourself.
Joe to Kenosha
Everyone's going to Kenosha now. After originally saying he did not plan to go, Joe Biden will be visiting on Thursday, along with his wife Dr. Jill Biden.
Hey All You Cool Cats and Kittens Carole Baskin of Tiger King fame (or infamy, depending on your view) will be joining the cast on the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars. She's eager to not just master the foxtrot, but to rehabilitate her image, tarnished by Joe Exotic's claims that she killed her first husband.
Hopefully, none of the judges will be fed to tigers if they give her poor scores. (We're kidding, we're kidding!)
Ewww
Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had a disturbing anecdote in her memoir, saying that Korea dictator Kim Jong Un had appeared to hit on her, and Trump suggested she "take one for the team." Read the creepy tale here.
That'll buy a lot of bumper stickers
The Biden campaign announced they raised a record-shattering $364.5 million in August, in the wake of announcing Sen. Kamala Harris joining the ticket. 6.5.0 |
