Matt Gertz at MMFA:

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance is using a right-wing media tour to clean up the firestorm over his remark that the country is run by “childless cat ladies” who “don't really have a direct stake” in its future. It isn’t going well. [...]

Mimicking Carlson’s cruel affect, weird obsessions, and unhinged misogyny helped Vance win support for his Senate campaign from the Fox star and his viewers, and he made similar comments to other right-wing audiences at the time. But the Carlson clip resurfaced after Vance became former President Donald Trump’s running mate, exposing his message to the broader public and triggering a wave of revulsion. Vance’s attempts to curtail the political damage — through even more interviews with pro-Trump pundits — are further exposing the dangers of his reliance on the right-wing bubble.

Vance’s first try at rebutting his critics, on former Fox host Megyn Kelly’s streaming show, was a debacle. He claimed to have been making a “a sarcastic comment,” joking that he has “nothing against cats,” as if that had been the real concern with his remark. And he lashed out at the actress Jennifer Aniston, who has publicly discussed her struggles with fertility and criticized Vance’s “childless cat ladies” comment, calling her response “disgusting.” Attacking celebrities plays well within the right-wing bubble, where cultural resentment makes for great content. But outside of it, politicians who don’t wish to cultivate reputations as off-putting weirdos generally try to avoid generating headlines about their feuds with a star of Friends. The Trump campaign apparently recognized that Vance’s Kelly interview had failed to stop the bleeding because he took another shot at it with a Sunday night appearance on former GOP congressman Trey Gowdy’s Fox show. But Gowdy wouldn’t defend Vance’s remark; he led into the interview by pointing out that Catholic nuns don’t have children but “love this country, living lives of service to others,” and declared that “some of the finest people I know don’t have children.”

[...] But that’s not what Vance said. He told Carlson that “the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children” and that it does not “make any sense that we've turned our country over to people who don't really have a direct stake in it.” He did not offer any rhetorical carve-outs for those who might wish to have children but struggle to find a partner, or with fertility, or with the adoption system. And he included Harris, who has two stepchildren, among the “childless cat ladies” who he claimed lack “a direct stake” in the country. Since it’s not politically viable to defend what he actually said, Vance is pretending that he was making a critique of Democrats over “anti-child” policies. But because that’s not true, he has to make up Democratic positions to get mad about.

Trump VP pick J.D. Vance is going on a right-wing media tour to clean up his disastrous “childless cat ladies” comments he made back in 2021.

Do you get the impression that the narrow GOP majority in the House won’t last very long? 🤔🤨

Hunter Biden’s laptop is the new Hillary Clinton email server. Their hearings will be as ridiculous as the 2015 GOP Benghazi hearings.

The 1,657 TV shows that spent less time on the air than the Hillary Clinton Benghazi hearing  (archived)

Despite their length, the only thing I can remember about the Benghazi hearings is the weird hair of GOP committee chair Trey Gowdy.

Mike Johnson exists in the gray space between RINO shill and Republican. He’s not MAGA. That places him in the same space as Trey Gowdy, and that’s not saying much. Trey is a likeable guy and sounds like he wants to be, or could be, a principled Republican. YET, when it came down to it, he didn’t do much of anything.

If you’re not for America, you are against America and Americans.

We need a new Speaker of the House, something that should be very possible in a Trump presidency.

Trump Falsely Claimes He's 'Being Forced' Off Campaign Trail

Every time Trump opens his mouth he does nothing but lie. He's still grifting his followers for $

Trump is bilking them for all he can get.

We've seen this before. Remember when Trey Gowdy tried to fabricate emails against Hillary that he claimed were classified, and the DOJ or FBI stepped up and said "no, they’re not. The originals did not have any markings or redactions on them at all. You added those markings to make them look official." Again, if the Republicans can’t cheat, they can’t win. They're finally being called out on their cheating on a regular basis and they’re being made to look like the fools that they are.

Gideon Taaffe at MMFA:

After former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally, right-wing media have claimed that Democrats and others should tone down their supposedly inflaming rhetoric and President Joe Biden should pardon Trump. Meanwhile, right-wing media have repeatedly used overheated rhetoric when discussing Democrats, framing the 2024 election as a “political war” and “the end of the republic” if Biden wins. 

Right-wing media are deceitfully using the assassination attempt on Donald Trump to tone police Democratic rhetoric against Trump warning about his threats to democracy as “out of control”, even as right-wing media continue to make unhinged attacks against those opposed to the Orange Führer.

I agree with Matt, Trey sounded good, but in the final analysis Trey was impotent and was NOT a fighter.

Apparently Ron DeSantis feels that science is "woke" and therefore needs to be suppressed.

Ron DeSantis has been accused of a “catastrophic” approach to the climate crisis after he launched his campaign for US president by saying he rejects the “politicization of the weather” and questioning whether hurricanes hitting his home state of Florida have been worsened by climate change.

DeSantis, the Republican Florida governor who announced his bid for the White House via a glitch-heavy Twitter stream on Wednesday, has previously dismissed concerns about global heating as “leftwing stuff” and he expanded upon this theme during a Fox News interview following his campaign launch.

“People tried to say when we had [Hurricane] Ian that it was because of climate change but if you look at the first 60 years from 1900 to 1960 we had more major hurricanes hit Florida than the 60 years since then,” DeSantis told his interlocutor, the former Republican congressman Trey Gowdy.

“This is something that is a fact of life in the Sunshine state. I’ve always rejected the politicization of the weather.”

DeSantis is telling Floridians, "Don't believe your lyin' eyes – or your wet feet for that matter."

Environmental groups have also taken aim at DeSantis over a record on climate they say is no better than Donald Trump’s, his rival for the Republican presidential nomination.

While governor, DeSantis has adopted bills banning Florida’s cities from adopting 100% clean energy goals and barred the state’s pension fund from making investment decisions that consider the climate crisis due to what he called a corporate attempt to “impose an ideological agendaon the American people”. He has also attacked the US military for being “woke” for warning about the national security risks posed by climate impacts.

DeSantis is a ruthlessly ambitious putz who is fixated on accumulating power at all costs.

Warm seas act like jet fuel to tropical cyclones. The temperature of the North Atlantic has unmistakably increased over the past hundred years.

Maybe DeSantis will try to blame "woke thermometers".

The problem for Florida is not so much the number of hurricanes but the intensity of hurricanes.

Category 5 storms making landfall in the US used to be rare. But two (Hurricane Michael, Hurricane Ian) have hit Florida in just the past five years.

Maybe DeSantis cut his high school physics class to watch far right porn. So he may have missed the lesson about warmer air being able to hold larger amounts of moisture.

While wind speed gets the most media attention, it's moisture in the form of rain and storm surge which kills the most people in hurricanes.

We all remember how Trump tried to use a Sharpie to modify a map showing the path of Hurricane Dorian. DeSantis would probably burn the map and close down the National Hurricane Center for being "woke".

DeSantis as president of the US would be a danger to the planet.

it's so annoying that the media is still covering races as if they have no wider effect, like okay you elected the "moderate" Republican, but that Republican will vote to empower Kevin McCarthy (or Mitch McConnell) who will decide what gets voted on on the floor, or in the case of Mitch in 2016, not voted on for a year. They will also empower people like Trey Gowdy to hold insane hearings about nonsense, a 2023 US House under the Republicans will quickly become a FOX News segment holding "hearings" and every Republican will vote to make that happen and the news should make that clear.

Exactly!

And also like... to use this specific example, I don't have any faith that the exceptions to abortion being banned (all of which are difficult to prove or be able to use, let's point that out) will be enough to outweigh their support for a nationwide abortion ban, or the pressure from their fellow Republicans to support such a ban.

This is the same fucking party that opposed the bill providing care and services to veterans exposed to fucking burn pits and other hazards out of a temper tantrum. The same party who some of them say they don't support or agree with Donald Trump but then go out of their way to seek his support or vote to protect him. The same party that talks about people of color being used by Democrats and then vote against voting rights protections or police abuse limitations and rail against "white people being made to feel ashamed of being white" and act like "critical race theory" is an evil bogeyman and against any kind of economic measures that might benefit them.

All the Republicans have is the cravenness of their convictions.
