CNN’s Christiane Amanpour Takes Aim at Boss Chris Licht Over ‘Earthquake’ Trump Town Hall, Says Network Needs to Regain 'Trust'

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour criticized her network’s decision to host a live town hall with Donald Trump last week, calling the move by CEO Chris Licht an “earthquake.”... Amanpour addressed Trump telling Collins during the town hall that she’s “a nasty person.”

“I would have dropped the mic at ‘nasty person,’” she said. “But then that’s me,” she said. “I’ve been in the ring for a long time with these people.”

Bothsidesism is not always objectivity. It does not get you to the truth. Drawing false moral or factual equivalence is neither objective or truthful. - Christiane Amanpour

Apparently, Kevin McCarthy Is Too Busy To Respond To Impending Floodwaters

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is pointing a finger at Republican lawmakers for their failure to respond to a flood emergency that is inundating their districts of the Golden State.

In a stern letter sent to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.), Newsom reminded the legislators that local leaders have been warning with “great urgency” that their “constituents are ‘in a path of destruction’ from floodwaters.”

SCOTUS Is Just Kicking The Ban Down The Road

The Supreme Court declined to immediately block Illinois’s assault weapons and high-capacity magazine bans, leaving them in place, for now.

A gun rights group and gun shop owner asked the justices to pause the law’s enforcement by intervening in the case ahead of an appeals court’s final ruling. The lawsuit also challenges an ordinance in Naperville, Ill., that bans the sale of assault rifles.

U.S. Secret Service Slackers? Probably.

The U.S. Secret Service is investigating how an intruder managed to enter the home of national security adviser Jake Sullivan in April without being detected by his security detail, the agency said Tuesday.

The incident occurred in late April, when an unknown man, apparently intoxicated, walked into Sullivan's home in Washington, D.C., around 3 a.m., a U.S. law enforcement official said. Sullivan confronted him and told him to leave. The Secret Service detail outside, which consisted of more than two people, was not aware of the intrusion until Sullivan told them. There were no signs of forced entry and the intruder is still at large.

America's Former Mayor Is About To Become America's Pay Her

A former associate of Rudy Giuliani sued the former New York mayor, presidential candidate and attorney to Donald Trump for $10m on Monday, alleging “abuses of power, wide-ranging sexual assault and harassment, wage theft and other misconduct” including “alcohol-drenched rants that included sexist, racist and antisemitic remarks”.

Filed in New York state, Noelle Dunphy’s suit includes the allegation that Giuliani “often demanded oral sex while he took phone calls on speaker phone from high-profile friends and clients, including then-President Trump”.

Not to be a downer (read: realist) but the person who filed the suit about Giuliani has so much dirt on so many people that some Harlan Crowe is going to back up a dump truck of money, unload it on her doorstep, and make her suit go away at whatever price required. - The Hoarse Whisperer tweet
