A news briefing by President Donald Trump's legal team outlining details of his challenges to the Nov. 3 election was summarily dismissed Thursday by Fox News, whose reporter ostensibly called lawyer Rudy Giuliani a liar. Without any independent verification, Fox News' White House correspondent Kristin Fisher claimed Giuliani's statements were "light on facts," "baseless," or "simply not true." "That was certainly a colorful news conference from Rudy Giuliani, but it was light on facts," Fisher said in her report. "So much of what he said was simply not true or has already been thrown out in court." Trump lawyers Giuliani,...

Failed Republican presidential candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina claimed Wednesday that President Donald Trump is an “inadequate man” who “lacks the mental faculties and strength” necessary to do his job. “Inadequate men in big jobs are always dangerous.

“Trumpism without Trump” is what America needs in four years, said conservative author Ann Coulter during a lecture at the University of Texas at Austin on Thursday night hosted by the university’s Young Conservatives of Texas. In a wide-ranging speech that reached far beyond the event’s proposed topic of immigration, the political commentator explained to a socially-distanced crowd of 97 people why she believes the 2020 U.S. presidential election has produced “the best of all possible outcomes” for conservatives. “The reason I’m very happy that [President] Trump lost – and lost narrowly – is that a second term of Trump...

Thursday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Meghan McCain suggested President Donald Trump’s coronavirus response “could be the silver bullet that takes out this administration.” McCain said, “The problem is when I watched it live like we all did, is he’s a politician that inspires anger really well. If you want to get riled up and angry, he’s a politician who does it well. The I feel your pain and fear, incapable of it. He could have been reading the phonebook last night. He should have been saying, I understand Americans are scared. Have a Ronald Reagan-esque moment. His inability to...
