Charismatic Christian prophets have gained new influence since becoming identified with the former president.
A Glendale Republican lawmaker is no longer allowed to access legislative broadcast equipment after the Arizona Mirror reported on May 3 that he used the Senate’s broadcast studio to appear on a far-right talk show last week with a host who has declared Adolf Hitler a “hero.”
For the second time, BlazeTV host Lauren Chen joined a livestream with Nico Kenn De Balinthazy (a.k.a. “Sneako”), a misogynistic, pro-Hitler Internet personality. During the broadcast, Chen defended antisemitic claims that Jews “killed Jesus” and “control the government or Hollywood or the media.”
Newsmax host Eric Bolling asked South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem whether her book editor could have been “a liberal plant” intent on making her look bad after Noem received backlash over several passages from her new memoir.
As Stormy Daniels testifies in Donald Trump’s criminal trial, it’s worth pausing to appreciate the madness of the broader political circumstances.
