Former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who was elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee Friday, took to “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the aggressive strategies the RNC will use to protect voting integrity in the 2024 presidential elections. //
We have 3 pillars that we need to focus on at the RNC to ensure victory on November 5th. Turn out the vote, protect the vote, and raise money -- but I would argue that maybe the most important of those three is protecting the vote. Election integrity. //
So I'll tell you right now what is already underway at the RNC. We have for the first time ever, an Election Integrity division. This means vast resources dedicated solely to this cause. //
I can guarantee you that over the next eight months, you are going to see things happened at the Republican National Committee unlike you have ever seen before, because this is a must win election.
If Donald Trump is not elected on November 5th of this year, I do not believe we have the same country on the other side.
It wasn't until midway through that context was given - which undercut what she was suggesting (that Robinson would prefer women couldn't vote):
During this event, Robinson, who was running for lieutenant governor at the time, recalled someone recently asking conservative activist Candace Owens to pick which version of America would make America “great again,” one where “Black people were swinging from cheap trees” or one where women weren’t allowed to vote.
Robinson said he would definitely return to the days in America when women were denied the right to vote “because in those days we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republicans.”
While that last quote contains part of the story, it doesn't give all of it. In the sentence immediately after he said "and they were called Republicans," Robinson said "And they are the reason why women can vote today." //

Okay, look, Robinson did in fact say all these words in this order, but if you watch the clip it's plain he wasn't saying he thinks women should lose the vote. He was making a way too cute point about how he wants Republicans to see themselves as fighters for social change.

Dan Bongino responded to this several times on X today, asking liberals why they are so racist, and why they have such vitriol for black people, and especially those who are Republicans.
The answer is, they can't help it. The Democrats have a long history of racism, and it's never gone away. And it's just as pronounced today as it was pre- and post-Civil War, during the Jim Crow and lynching eras, and as well as during their fights to keep integration from happening and destroying the black society with the "Great" Society.
We should never, EVER let them forget that, and we should always remind black Americans that Democrats are still the slave-master party. The party leaders will do nothing to help them out of poverty, but just "promise" to help them while simultaneously keep black Americans from ever prospering. //

This is worth a read. Expect alot of Charlottesville "very fine people" misrepresentations/lies.

Robinson accused of antisemitism
As for the misrepresented "Nazi" comments, it seems to me he is addressing the insane Nazi attributions the left flings at the conservatives /"right wing." Enough!
Republican Mark Robinson's rise in North Carolina politics has been nothing short of spectacular.
It all started in the spring of 2018 when Robinson, a Greensboro resident who at the time worked in furniture manufacturing, appeared before the city council to speak his mind on gun rights as the city considered canceling a gun show. //

In 1969, a tome was published by Canadian business professor Dr. Laurence Peter that primarily talked about people being promoted to their level of incompetence, but the real take-away found in the later chapters is Dr. Peter's exposure on how human hierarchies actually operate. We warns his readers that the No. 1 Rule of every hierarchy is the 'preservation of the hierarchy.' Had DJT been aware of this warning when he took office in Jan. 2017 and cleaned out every department in our government of entrenched deep-staters we wouldn't have the mess we do today. Mark Robinson is a hierarchy crusher... The Dems know it, the RINO's know it and those buried deep in U.S. and North Carolina gov't know it. The hierarchy "preservation" has already begun in N.C. and Robinson is just the man to stand up and crush it.
As we've written many times on these pages, the only way this original investigative reporting could happen and can continue to happen is through the financial support of our readers. Clearly, we highlight corruption and malfeasance on the left, but sometimes those on the right need to be held to account too so conservatives can win hearts and minds - and elections. Much of the data we reported on with Ronna McDaniel was in publicly-available documents, but RedState was the first outlet to cover it, and still one of the only outlets to dive in. Why? Not only do we have investigative journalists who want to do the work; those journalists aren't constrained by corporate bean counters who are afraid of the ramifications. We go where the truth leads us.
Do not present us with a plan that doesn’t have a wall and doesn’t have total enforcement of the immigration laws with ironclad enforcement provisions. Everything needs to be notwithstanding other laws, so they can’t sue to stop you. There has to be a grant of standing for states to sue to enforce the laws. And there has to be a cut off of any kind of aid the second the border reopens. Good gosh, this isn’t hard. But it seems really hard for you guys. I attribute that to the fact that, and I want to be charitable about this, a lot of you are really stupid.
Stop trying to do immigration deals with the Democrats.
You’re not smart enough to pull it off. Just say no to everything until the Dems comply. What’s the worst case? We have a wide-open border, and we’re not spending money on other people’s wars? That compares favorably to the present situation, where we have a wide-open border, and we are spending money on other people’s wars. //
I don’t know how many times I have to say this because I’ve been around for a while, and I’ve seen this same thing happen again and again and again when squish GOP senators try to negotiate with the Democrats about immigration. I know it’s meant to bully mental defectives, but when it comes to the GOP Senate caucus, that rule does not apply since some of its members apparently cannot learn from experience and must learn through pain. Here is a message to you, spineless Republican senators….
Stop trying to do immigration deals with the Democrats.
This same sorry scenario gets replayed over and over again. //

Hey Kurt, maybe its not because RINO Senators are horrible negotiators, or naive buffoons, but perhaps we need revisit Hanlon's razor. I mean, how many times have RINO doofuses tried to "negotiate" an immigration deal and they wind up getting hosed? It goes as far back as our beloved Ronald Reagan.
So maybe its not naivete or stupidity. Maybe its just plain greed and treachery.

She's just so terrible.
Any Republican at this point should have already figured out the kinds of gotcha questions they're going to be asked and have a ready reply. It's not that complicated--there a limited number of topics that are used in this strategy: race, abortion, gender, illegal immigration, the 2020 election... how hard is it to redirect the racism questions with something like Bongino said: "The U.S. is not a racist country, but we have to acknowledge history and the Democrat-party-created Jim Crow laws." Or "I believe that every child who is conceived is a human being with inalienable rights, including the right to life, but I don't believe in criminalizing miscarriages." Or "Women are equal participants in our society, with a greater percentage of college degrees earned than men and with wages that, when adjusted for things like time in their career, are equal to men's wages." Or "The United States should welcome legal immigrants, but a nation of laws must enforce it borders and prevent the human trafficking and drug smuggling that is creating a crisis." Or "There were election irregularities in the 2020 election, including judicial modifications to election rules. Elections in the United States should be fair and free of interference from U.S. intelligence agencies and leftist judges."
Seriously, if I can type that up in two minutes, why can't Hailey figure it out in two years?

The United States did not have slavery for centuries. Slavery was abolished in the 1860's, the United States was founded in either 1776 or 1787, depending on whether you date from the Declaration of Independence, or from the ratification of the US Constitution. The United States had slavery for about 80 years. The northern states had abolished slavery by about 1820, so only for about 45 years did they have slavery.
Racist attitudes were common in both the northern and the southern states, but Jim Crow laws were in effect in Southern states, and not the entire United States.
In many ways, Johnson didn’t bail out Democrats from a tough political predicament as much as he did his own Republican members.
Until conservatives learn to become active in GOP primaries and make them pay the electoral consequences for their failures, establishment Republicans will continue to sell out their voters on every issue that matters, when it matters.
