into everyone’s mind.
They have convinced themselves that Trump didn’t do any of the COVID measures. It was all Democrats.
I don’t think want to bring George Floyd up again either especially since there’s audio of Trump praising Gov. Walz.

It appears they are going to convince people (themselves at least) that Kamala is running from her basement like they tried in 2020 with Joe. He did more official campaign events in 2020 than Trump did.

I heard earlier I think it was Marc Eisen (it was a W speechwriter) on Kilmeade’s radio show. They were praising Vance’s stalking stunt in front AF2 while claiming Kamala was running from her basement because she hasn’t held a press conference yet. 🙄

You'd think that they could come up with some new angles, but instead, they just keep repeating the same old tired tropes.

Will he actually take any questions?

Will any corporate media spokesmodels/reporters have the courage to call him on this vile attack on America's military?

We shall see.

that the Clintons hated people in the military and that Obama didn’t show members of the military proper respect. So I assume that they all will be denouncing Trump for this

The RWNM is a closed loop; no outside information penetrates it. Rebuttals/clarifications never reach ears.

Watch Jordan Klepper videos for example after example.
