"When we gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom… It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor— it’s actually much better because everyone who gets the Congressional Medal, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead. She gets it and she’s a healthy beautiful woman."

You left out

3. They have a secret earpiece and are receiving the answers from a staff member

4. They choose the subjects.

None of this matters. When Harris and Walz are exposed, the people will reject them.

Bongino is saying with good evidence that negative commentary in the media is being released by traitors in the Trump Camp. He says Kellyanne Conway is one of them, people who mainly opposed the Vance pick.

I don’t think it. matters. Give them the questions, try to speak to them via earpiece.

How are they going answer any question that legit?

Here’s a couple:

To Walz:

1. Many of the soldiers you served with are accusing you of Stolen Valor for many reasons (and the reporter names them). How is going to answer that?
2. You set a snitch line during COVID
3. What’s with the tampons in the boy’s bathroom?
4. What’s with abortions no questions asked in MN
5. What’s with you comments about the National Guard being made up of cooks?
6. etc

To Harris

1. You deceived us when you said just a few weeks ago that Biden was totally normal.
2. You have all these ideas to reduce inflation etc. Why not implement them now?
3. Why are you reluctant obviously to speak to the press?
4. How are you a different campaigner from the one who ran for president and received not one delegate?
5. why is the media covering for you?

This is a bunch of crap. The Medal of Honor implies you put your ass on the line in combat period. EOS The other crap say your a guy that didn’t get shot at but worked hard to support the. Greater good. Rush Limbaugh got a medal for working hard for the country He didn’t deserve to be medel of honor. Eugene sledge, and Audie Murphy, and all the big guys at the battle for Leytte , they ,deserved the congressional Medal of Honor. IMO. Also the men that took Okinoua .

Congressional Medal of Honor is not a technically correct term.
It’s the “Medal of Honor” awarded by he President on behalf of Congress.

There is a Congressional Medal of Honor Society chartered by Congress, that refers to the award as the Medal Of Honor

Might be sarcasm - a dig pointjng out that the Medal of Freedom is basically a political reward for friends, whereas the Medal of Honor has to be earned at risk of life and limb. If sarcasm, not a great idea to air it in public against one of his biggest donors, Miriam Adelson. There were rumors of tensions with her, so this might have bubbled to the surface.

Oh so what. He gave a great tough speech and this is what they do.
Just had this discussion with my wife. No matter what a republican says, or if they say nothing, a controversy will be created.

he was talking about Miriam Adelson who received the Medal of Freedom. I agree that he probably tried to express a very benign sentiment but he worded it really awkwardly to say the least. If your opponents can harm you by quoting you verbatim that’s on you.

Indeed. It’s the political equivalent of the free toy that comes with a Happy Meal - a meaningless partisan award.

To Walz: You made an Executive Order to not only allow medical gender transitioning on minors, but if they were runaways from out-of-state, you would not disclose any information about them to their parents.

When aren’t they casting him in a bad light?
If they can spin DJTs words to put him in a bad light, they will. NPR listed 162 lies during Trumps press conference on 8/8. They will never let up

I can see where people who want to hear it that way will. No one ever gives trump the benefit of the doubt.

He’s going to be nuked in the press tomorrow over this


You don’t seem to realize Trump will be “nuked in the press” no matter what he says. I’m happy that he doesn’t behave like craven, sniveling milquetoast GOP elite and “Twy to hwave dem wike me!”
