CNN’s Daniel Dale has done the unthinkable. He took aim at @KamalaHQ, the official rapid response page on X for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. With over 1.3 million followers, the account has a wide reach, and according to Dale, “has made a habit of misleadingly clipping and inaccurately captioning video clips to attack former President Donald Trump.”

The account has been “repeatedly deceptive” and has made “inaccurate comments on multiple occasions,” Dale wrote. And he goes on to detail eight of the account’s most disingenuous posts from the last month.

BASH: You just said that you're creating a story.

VANCE: We ought to be talking about public policy. [09:15:05]

BASH: Sir, you just said that you're creating the story.

VANCE: What's that, Dana?

BASH: You just said that this is a story that you created...

VANCE: Yes.

BASH: So, the eating dogs and cats thing is not accurate.

VANCE: We are creating -- we are -- Dana, it comes from firsthand accounts from my constituents.

I say that we're creating a story, meaning we're creating the American media focusing on it. I didn't create 20,000 illegal migrants coming into Springfield, thanks to Kamala Harris' policies. Her policies did that, but yes, we created the actual focus that allowed the American media to talk about this story and the suffering caused by Kamala Harris' policies.

Following the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, a common refrain from the left was that political violence is a "both sides" issue. MSNBC tried that line multiple times, as did some of the major newspapers, with the idea being that you can't call out Democrat rhetoric because Republican rhetoric has caused issues as well.

So what was the evidence for that equivocation being used as a way to deflect from someone trying to murder Trump again? CNN's Dana Bash provided a perfect example of it when she accused JD Vance of inciting "bomb threats" in Springfield, OH.

To be sure, the claim was dubious from the moment it left her mouth. //

Gov. Mike DeWine says that all of the bomb threats that were made against Springfield schools were hoaxes and came from overseas.

But we were reliably informed by the media that JD Vance's cat memes were responsible for this

SpaceX allegedly used an “unapproved launch control room” and “did not conduct the required T-2 hour poll” for the June 2023 Falcon 9 flight for the PSN SATRA Mission, which involved launching an Indonesian communication satellite. In July, SpaceX then allegedly used an unapproved, newly constructed “rocket propellant farm,” or a specialized facility to fuel the EchoStar XXIV/Jupiter mission. SpaceX now has 30 days to respond to the civil penalty.

The proposed fine is raising speculation that the FAA wants to get tough with SpaceX, which is also facing allegations that it violated environmental regulations with Starship rocket launches. Last month, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket also failed to stick its landing, resulting in a fiery explosion. It's unclear what caused the malfunction, but the FAA has cleared the company to continue Falcon 9 flights in the interim. //

Last week, SpaceX also blasted US government regulations for pushing back the next launch of Starship to possibly late November when the vehicle is ready to fly for its next test. “The narrative that we operate free of, or in defiance of, environmental regulation is demonstrably false,” the company said at the time.

In response, the FAA told PCMag it's conducting a more in-depth review of the next Starship flight due to changes made by SpaceX. "In addition, SpaceX submitted new information in mid-August detailing how the environmental impact of Flight 5 will cover a larger area than previously reviewed. This requires the FAA to consult with other agencies," the agency said.

In February 2023, the FAA also fined SpaceX $175,000 for failing to submit pre-launch data to the agency for an earlier Starlink mission. SpaceX later paid the fine in October 2023.

HOST: But the rhetoric is on both sides, it's coming from the right, it's coming from the left

JENNINGS: The rhetoric, they have tried to kill this man twice. He got shot in the ear, and this guy was setting up shop outside of a golf course to try to kill him this weekend, and I know after something like this happens, it's very fashionable to, you know, talk about rhetoric on both sides.

Donald Trump is the target. He's the current target, and it's happening, and it's happening again, and I just, honestly, we have to have a conversation about elections. If you lose an election, the country is not going to come to an end, okay. What I want Democrats to do, honestly, is to say, it's okay. Like, if Donald Trump wins, democracy will not end, the constitution will not end, we're not going to live in a dictatorship, there will not be a bloodbath. All the things they say are totally fabricated to me, it would be a good day to stop doing that. //

JENNINGS: And I know everybody's talking today about all the rhetoric in this country and what are going to do to fix it going forward. It's too late. Folks, it's too late in my opinion because all of the rhetoric about Donald Trump over the last several years, that he's a threat to democracy, that the country will come to an end if he gets elected president again. You know, even over the weekend, we had people blaming him and JD Vance for a bomb threat in Springfield.

Well, if you have believed that over the weekend, then how could you not believe the rhetoric leading up to today is not somehow responsible that this man has now somehow survived two assassination attempts?

In one of the most unbelievable developments of 2024, Israel somehow hacked into the pagers and cell phones of Hezbollah fighters and caused them to explode. News of hundreds of injuries, including dismemberments broke on Tuesday morning. Shortly after, videos of devices blowing up began to circulate.

Hundreds of members of Hezbollah were seriously wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded.

Here is one video of one of the pager explosions.

I'm thinking this is not some secret code that makes a phone or pager battery blow up.

My best guess is that Israeli intel penetrated the supply chains of phones and pagers shipped to the Middle East and loaded a lot of them with a small explosive. Then they traced the buyers to keep a list of phones and pagers tied to known or suspected Hezbollah members. A call with a certain code causes that small explosive to go off.

As my colleague Teri Cristopher chronicled, Kamala Harris has repeatedly used that phrase to describe the former president, presenting him as a dictator-in-waiting ready to end the republic. According to the Trump campaign, that kind of rhetoric has consequences, and they sought to prove that on Monday by dropping a laundry list of statements made by Democrat politicians and media figures.

When you continually tell people that one man is not just bad for the country, but that he's akin to Adolf Hitler and will put "LGBTQ" people in prisons, that is an invitation for the less mentally stable among us to act. Think about it. If Trump really is the second coming of one of the most murderous figures in world history, then why wouldn't someone try to eliminate him before the election? //

Democrats are so convinced they are righteous among the few, though, that they will say anything at this point. Does that mean that every person quoted above was explicitly calling for Trump to be assassinated? No, but it does mean that they are purposely feeding into something very dangerous. This is the second, not the first attempt on Trump's life. If ignorance was an excuse prior, it's not anymore. //

When you see it compiled together like that, it's even more appalling. And apparently, yesterday, Elon Musk pointed out that no one is taking a shot at Biden or Harris. Which is accurate. That simple factual statement led for calls for his deportment from the U.S., with the hashtag regarding it trending on X. It's maddening.
