Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign could be derailed if she picks Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate. During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle” with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Gingrich discussed the potential running mate picks floated for Harris and highlighted the issues of choosing Shapiro.

Critics slammed CNN after anchor John King said there were “risks” in putting forward Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as the Democratic vice presidential nominee because “he’s Jewish.” “He’s certainly under consideration,” King said on CNN Sunday night, referencing discussions with allies of Vice President Kamala Harris. “He’s a first-term governor, he’s Jewish, there could be some risks in putting him on the ticket, but certainly some of our voters here in Pennsylvania said, ‘Hey, we like Gov. Shapiro, give him a look,'” he added. The popular X account StopAntisemitism underscored the hateful comment by pointing out how different the response...

CNN’s John King admitted that former President Donald Trump is on course for an unprecedented landslide victory this November. The CNN analyst says Trump could win as many as 330 electoral votes (only 270 are needed to secure victory). King explained: “If Donald Trump won, what we have here, dark red states, solid Republican.” “Light red states, leaning Republican.” “If he won just those right there, he would already have the path to 270,” King added. “He would have 272 electoral votes,” he explained.

There is only one Democrat who thinks he’s winning or in a good position to win: Joe Biden. Every other member of his party, excluding his Rasputin-like inner circle, knows he’s in trouble. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) reportedly told donors that House Democrats face annihilation if the president remains in the race. The polling reflects that the map has only improved for Donald Trump ever since Biden’s abysmal June 27 debate. CNN’s John King’s projection of the 2024 race isn’t just brutal for Joe Biden; it’s also something of an epitaph. We’re sixteen weeks away from Election Day, and with...

CNN anchor John King said Tuesday on “CNN News Central” that Special Counsel Jack Smith going to Subway for lunch was a “message” to former President Donald Trump. [cut] "JACK SMITH GOING TO SUBWAY TODAY IS A MESSAGE TO DONALD TRUMP. DONALD TRUMP TRIES TO INTIMIDATE PEOPLE. HE TRIES TO BULLY PEOPLE. HE TRIES TO SCARE YOU AWAY. THAT WAS JACK SMITH, WITH NO WORDS AND A SIMPLE $5 SUB IN HIS HAND, SAYING I’M HERE. I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.”

CNN legal analyst Paul Callan on Monday praised the prosecution in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, where closing arguments has been underway.... When asked by CNN anchor John King how the prosecutor, Thomas Binger, has been performing in presenting his closing arguments, Callan praised Binger while taking a shot at Schroeder. “I think he’s doing reasonably well. I mean, he’s doing is something that the judge didn’t do, which is speaking in a way that people can generally understand. I find that his contention about [Joseph] Rosenbaum is kind of implausible on its face,” said Callan, referring to Rittenhouse’s first...

In 1977, 16-year-old Lliana Gay Adank and 17-year-old Eric Shawn Goldstrand, both North Eugene High School students, went fishing and had a picnic and never returned. They were later found shot to death. Forty-four years police say they have solved their homicide. This week, the Lane County Sheriff's Office announced they solved and closed the cold-case homicides of Adank and Goldstrand. In 1977, the victims' parents notified the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, who reportedly found Adank at the secluded picnic area, Goldstrand in the nearby brush a few hours later. “ The female victim had been sexually assaulted and both...

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the non-existent testimony of two witnesses prove beyond a shadow of doubt the guilt of the defendant." Even a lawyer with much less ability than a Perry Mason would easily get such a declaration laughed out of court. However, that is exactly the assertion that John King made on CNN's Inside Politics on Sunday when he declared there was something somehow significant by the fact that two generals (actually three according to the chyron) have remained silent on the Atlantic magazine charge that President Donald Trump called fallen veterans "suckers" and "losers."

VIDEO As was totally expected in light of Brian Stelter urging the media to rudely interrupt the Republican convention speeches, CNN is taking his advice. Already today, Anderson Cooper and John King slammed President Trump after CNN rudely cut away from his convention speech. Another who joined the in the anti-Trump frenzy was Jake Tapper who, as you can see, went full smear. One humorous lowlight of his segment was when he turned it over to a CNN correspondent who acted shocked, SHOCKED that the speakers at the convention would be supporting Trump. Yeah, who ever heard of speakers...

On May 20, CNN's "Cuomo Prime Time" aired one of those jokey interviews between CNN host Chris Cuomo and his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The governor had submitted himself to a coronavirus test on camera. Chris decided to mock the size of his brother's nostrils by unveiling a series of ever-larger Q-Tips (or test swabs) and cracked his brother up. CNN happily posted the fun on YouTube under the headline "Chris Cuomo teases brother Andrew with giant test swab," now at more than 693,000 views. Before that, Chris asked his brother "First of all, is it true that...

CNN’s coverage of Monday’s White House coronavirus press briefing put a harsh spotlight on the network's line-blurring between journalism and agenda-driven opinion, media experts tell Fox News, and even has some wondering if the liberal network has abandoned objective coverage of the president altogether. CNN cut away from Trump’s task force briefing on Monday when the White House aired a brief video designed to combat recent reports that the response to coronavirus didn’t happen quickly enough. CNN host John King quickly called it “propaganda,” which became the phrase du jour for the network during a series of events that one...

Friday over a testy exchange President Donald Trump had with NBC White House Correspondent Peter Alexander during a White House press briefing. The president told Alexander that he was a “terrible reporter” after Alexander asked what Trump would tell Americans who are scared about the coronavirus pandemic.

CNN anchor John King defended Republicans on Thursday, arguing they made a "legitimate point" in asking why the intelligence community whistleblower -- who brought the complaint that prompted Trump's impeachment -- hadn't been questioned. "You're asking the Congress, the Senate now, to remove the President of the United States," King said. "It's a legitimate point for the president's team and the Republicans to say: 'Shouldn't we go to the very origin of this?'"

VIDEO On Sunday's September 29 "Inside Politics," host John King completely overlooked what should have been a YUUUUUGE political story, namely that Mayor Pete Buttigieg has ZERO percent black support in South Carolina (and probably elsewhere). So how did he miss such a big story? Probably because he was almost totally focused on an impeachment fable based on second hand whistleblower information (i.e. RUMOR). Congratulations, John King, for allowing impeachment fever to completely blind you to what should have been a very significant political story.

Watch what happens when CNN and John King edit and take Mark’s constitutionally sound argument about the National Emergencies Act and separation of powers out of context. Here's tonight's FREE show!

A drawing of the Whyda, the pirate ship that John King is believed to have been sailing on when he died. (Expedition Whydah Sea-Lab & Learning Center) The silk stocking, shoe and fibula believed to be John King's, found in the wreckage off Wellfleet. (Expedition Whydah Sea-Lab & Learning Center) He was a boy, no more than 11, when pirates captured the ship he and his mother were sailing on in the Caribbean. As he watched the pirates haul off the ship's cargo of sugar and tobacco, John King made a decision: He would leave his mother and join...

RUSH: And grab sound bite number 23. Folks, it’s Steve Bannon. I don’t think I’ve got enough time for this. Do I have 35 seconds or a minute 35 left? How much is left in this segment? Oh, good, we do have time. Okay, Wall Street Journal guy’s on CNN this afternoon, John King speaking with political correspondent Michael Bender, Wall Street Journal. The question’s longer than the bite. He’s asked about the Alabama election and what happened there. And here’s the point of it. BENDER: The base is still there. I mean, Rush Limbaugh was on the radio yesterday,...

Seconds after President Trump’s Monday remarks finally calling out the KKK, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists by name, CNN hosts and panelists made clear that there was nothing Trump could have said that would have satisfied them, excoriating him for not going far enough and announcing “policy in terms of addressing this.” Inside Politics aired during and immediately after the President’s statement and Bloomberg’s Margaret Talev got the first crack, slamming Trump for not doing “outreach to people not white or who might feel that they were on the victimized end of the message that the protesters were carrying.”Never Satisfied: CNN...

So, it IS a story then? The intelligentsia at CNN has been falling all over itself to try and pretend that the Susan Rice bombshell is something you should ignore. As Don Lemon made perfectly clear, CNN doesn’t believe there’s a story here, they aren’t interested in covering it, and they won’t help a bunch of crazed right-wingers promote a conspiracy theory. Here’s Lemon shortly after the big news broke:

In stark contrast to his CNN colleagues Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon downplaying the significant revelations about former National Security Adviser Susan Rice unmasking the names of members of the Donald Trump  team on intelligence reports, Inside Politics host John King scoffed Tuesday afternoon at Rice's change of stories about her role. When someone known for liberal hackery openly mocks Rice, you know the dam is bursting even at CNN.
