Trump Rally Attendee's Brain is Mush
Trump supporters were interviewed by Walter Masterson and The Good Liars at the Trump rally in Florence, South Carolina over the weekend. One woman made the case that Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping are all working together against the “deep state” in the United States. This woman expressed concern over elites releasing bioweapons across the world if the Trump/Putin/Xi team doesn’t stop them. Another woman said that it was probably true and included Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A third person made the case that numerology shows that the word “corona” is from the devil because it’s six letters long. But then apparently too many people figured that out, so the government changed it to COVID-19. She went on to explain that “ovid” means sheep and 19 is military code for surrender, so the whole thing works out to “see sheep surrender.” These people seriously need help.
Eric Trump Competes for Worst Interview in History
Eric Trump is apparently trying to challenge his dad for being the worst interview guest in history, and he put in a strong showing for that honor on Sean Hannity’s show. Eric tried to run interference for the right-wing over Joe Biden’s handling of Ukraine getting a nearly 60% approval rating. Eric said that if his dad was still in office, this whole thing would have been avoided: “My father would, you know, call up and he would have said, ‘Vladimir, don’t even think about it. Don’t even try us. I’m telling you, it’s not going to work out very well for you.’” Of course, when Trump was in office, he’d simply take Putin’s side at every turn, like when he said he trusted Putin over US intelligence officials on the topic of election interference. Eric went on to brag about the military aid that Trump sent to Ukraine, which is laughable, given that he was impeached over withholding that very aid and trying to extort President Zelenskyy over it. Despite Eric Trump’s efforts, this interview certainly won’t be the trick to lowering Joe Biden’s approval rating on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Tucker Carlson Turns Delusional UFC Fighter Into a Hero
UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell made headlines last week for his take on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and it was so compelling to the right wing that Tucker Carlson had to have him on his program. Mitchell said at a UFC press event that even though he doesn’t know what’s going on in Ukraine, and doesn’t think anyone knows what’s going on in Ukraine, that there was certainly something corrupt going on there related to Joe and Hunter Biden. In a hero’s welcome interview with Tucker, the Fox News propagandist made it seem as though the controversy was over Mitchell saying he’d fight for Arkansas and the United States but not for Ukraine. In truth, that’s not why Bryce received criticism over his statements. He got criticism for claiming ignorance and then spewing right-wing conspiratorial talking points. Mitchell went back into that realm during the interview, saying, “I believe our leaders, a lot of these elites are guilty of treason.” We’ll see if Bryce is able to get another round of press attention for his positions on foreign policy, or if this will be the end of his “hot takes.”

MyPillow Mike Lindell Headlines Delusional Trump Rally Attendees
Donald Trump held a rally over the weekend in Florence, South Carolina and as is often the case, a handful of his supporters were interviewed by the media. One such fan was MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell who told Right Side Broadcasting some new claims about supposed 2020 election fraud. Lindell said that 1.5 million votes were “stoled [sic]” from California and a million each were taken from Texas and Florida. The pillow tycoon then rattled off a list of states he said Trump won, all of which of course, in reality went in the Biden column. Another fan in attendance was Kate Arrington who is a US congressional candidate from South Carolina. Arrington was asked which policies would be at the top of her list of priorities and the answer she gave should surprise no one. She said, “first thing we need to do when we get up there, fire Fauci. Second thing, get rid of the department of federal education. And third thing, start impeaching Biden. And open Hunter Biden’s laptop.” With a platform like that, it’s no wonder why Trump has endorsed Arrington for Congress and why she may actually win.
