Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Tuesday on “CBS Mornings” that he believed the indictment of former President Donald Trump on federal charges would make him unelectable in 2024. Co-host Gayle King asked, “He’s getting support from a lot of fellow Republicans. Are you one of those going Trump is my guy?” Ryan said, “No, I’ve been a never Trumper for some time. We’re not going to win if we nominate Trump, we’re going to lose. He hasn’t won since 2016. We lost the House in 2018. We lost the presidency in ’20. We lost the Senate. We would...

Between Monday night and Tuesday morning, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC spent 43 minutes and 47 seconds on former President Trump being found liable for sexual abuse in a New York civil suit brought by lefty advice columnist E. Jean Carroll. At one point in those roughly 44 minutes, Carroll let slip that CBS Mornings co-host and Democratic donor Gayle King admitted off-camera she said “hooray” Tuesday when she heard the verdict. Tsk, tsk to E. Jean as she let slip an answer to a question many wonder: Do liberal journalists openly cheer or high-five when...

The jury in the E. Jean Carroll v. Trump case ruled on Tuesday afternoon that former President Trump is liable for sexual abuse and defamation charges. While Trump announced ahead of a verdict he planned to appeal the decision, Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley unpacked the case on "The Story" and weighed the "biggest problem" the president faces in an appeal. JONATHAN TURLEY : That dog won't hunt. If that's the argument on appeal, then it's going to be a rather quick appeal. There are other issues here that he might appeal on. Judge Kaplan was really quite yielding on...

In true House of Cards fashion , Tara Reade, who has accused President Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in the 1990s, posted a bone-chilling message days before potentially having to testify before Congress. Last week, Reade warned about the dangers of the Democrat Party and how powerful they can be when someone or something threatens their chances of having control of the country. "I want to make something clear," Reade tweeted. "If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden. Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying, and intimidation over the last three years will not...

CBS anchor Gayle King promoted Vice President Kamala Harris by calling her “Madam President” at the end of an interview in which the VP declared she’d definitely be President Joe Biden’s running mate in 2024.

This morning CBS Morning News was on in the house (not my choice) and they were covering the latest spin on Hunter Biden's laptop. CBS overall was unusually critical of the evidence on the laptop. But what caught my attention was at the end of the story when anchor Gayle King made this comment starting at the 5:48 mark: "Could be a lesson to pay your bills. Eighty-five dollars could have changed everything had the bill been paid." Is it just me or did she say that criminals should do a better job of covering up their crimes?

The 47-year-old news anchor — who muscled her way into the evening slot in 2019 as she fled a reportedly strained relationship with co-host Gayle King on “CBS This Morning” — now stands vulnerable to the network’s bean counters as her ratings have stayed stubbornly stuck in third place, according to sources close to the situation. Insiders likewise pointed to O’Donnell’s hefty pay package that is in the ballpark of $8 million a year and a three-year contract that’s slated to expire next spring.

Monday, CBS “This Morning” host Gayle King revealed her Thanksgiving festivities this year will go on without members of her family who are yet to get the coronavirus vaccine. King told National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was discussing the importance of the White House’s door-to-door push to encourage people to get the vaccine to fend off the Delta variant, that she has members of her own family who are reluctant to get the vaccine.

Prince William was photographed looking glum while driving in London today after Meghan Markle's friend Gayle King revealed Prince Harry had spoken to him and their father Charles for the first time following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's interview with Oprah Winfrey. The CBS presenter, who attended Meghan's $500,000 baby shower in 2019, said she spoke to the Sussexes who told her that Harry had talked to the Duke of Cambridge and Prince of Wales over the weekend. But she said the conversations were 'not productive' and the Sussexes were keen for the 'royals to intervene and tell the...

Gayle King of CBS News found herself in the social media crosshairs after questioning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s use of the word “henchmen” to describe the president’s associates in an interview. The television journalist’s name was trending on Twitter early Saturday as folks slammed King, who called out Pelosi’s language as “egregious” and questioned whether the California Democrat’s words were “just as insulting as what [the president’s] saying about you.” “Dear Gayle King, Trump cronies are henchmen. They are prepared to engage in crime, dishonesty, violence, and debauchery to defend the pathological lying, racist, wannabe dictator in the White House....

Stacey Abrams is not a serious politician. Her influence is built on the sole foundation of media adoration inflated by glowing profiles but ignored by the Biden campaign during the presidential veepstakes. Failed 2018 Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams thought she might be on the ticket this week. Given her weeks of public campaigning in the run-up to the vice presidential selection process, her allies in the media seem to have agreed.Breaking with longstanding tradition, Abrams openly sought out the number two spot after narrowly losing her bid for the Georgia governor’s mansion just two years earlier. Ever since...

Gayle King delivered an emotional reaction on Tuesday’s CBS This Morning after the show played the racially charged viral video of a white woman calling the police and falsely claiming a black man was threatening her life.

Stacey Abrams is taking a break from running Georgia to campaign to be former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate. Pretty soon, she’ll be calling the veepstakes rigged, dragging the Democratic National Committee as racist, and claiming to be the nominee anyway. It’s become her signature formula since failing to capture the Georgia governor’s mansion in 2018. Just a year and a half later, ambition has once again come calling. This time it brings the romance novelist one step closer to reaching her self-inspired destiny of clinching power in the White House. Maybe the 27 lost souls in the Democratic...

So much for turning over a new leaf. Just after apologizing to Gayle King for calling her a “dog-haired b#tch,” Snoop Dogg is now mocking King’s bestie Oprah Winfrey for taking a fall in front of thousands at her 2020 Vision tour stop in LA Saturday. She was not injured and blamed her shoes. But Snoop commented on social media, “Michael and Kobe blew a gust of wind. Balance,” after 50 Cent jokingly suggested Michael Jackson’s ghost tripped her. Snoop followed that with, “God don’t like ugly.”

Snoop Dogg said Saturday he wasn't threatening CBS News anchor Gayle King over a recent interview in which she broached the Kobe Bryant rape case following his death last week. The clarification comes after CBS News president Susan Zirinsky said the network "fully supports" King while vigorously condemning “reprehensible” threats made against King. "When I said what I said, I spoke for the people who felt like Gayle was very disrespectful towards Kobe Bryant and his family," Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., said in a video on Instagram on Saturday. "Now with that being said,...

CBS News President Susan Zirinsky has addressed the fallout from Gayle King’s interview about Kobe Bryant, calling threats against the CBS This Morning co-anchor “reprehensible.” “We fully support Gayle King and her integrity as a journalist,” Zirinsky told the Associated Press Saturday. “We find the threats against her or any journalist doing their job reprehensible.” Zirinsky’s comments came one day after Oprah Winfrey, revealed in an interview that King is “not doing well.” “She now has death threats and has to now travel with security,” Winfrey told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on the Today show.
