The alleged suspect in this morning’s shooting of a news crew has posted to his social media accounts what appear to be videos he himself took during the shooting.
Late Update: The alleged shooter has reportedly shot himself. Conflicting reports on his status. Initial reports were that he had died, but more recent reports are that he is in critical condition.
Donald Trump has his bouncer toss Univision anchor Jorge Ramos from his press conference. “Go back to Univision!” Watch here.
TPM Reader JB has his own take here ….
If you go to Univision.com right now, the video is on the front page top. Not top of the news section; top center of the whole website (at least on a phone). There is a headline like “Trump Kicks Jorge Ramos Out of Press Conference” and then the money quote: “Go Back to Univision”.
The video has no set up or commentary from a Univision reporter or news anchor. None is required. This is one powerfully self-explanatory clip. It is hard to imagine the message being any clearer to the millions of Univision viewers, spat straight from the sneering, hateful mouth of a big, blonde-haired and red-faced White Man:
It all seems commonplace today. But here’s how the Christian Right transformed American politics.
As Tierney Sneed reports, Silicon Valley wants to end birthright citizenship like it wants a hole in the head.
After Trump’s latest screed against Megyn Kelly, the Fox News posse, including Sheriff Ailes, joins forces in calling him out.
We know now that Donald Trump is not only the numerical frontrunner in the GOP primary race but a very dominant one at that. And there’s no sign his strong plurality showing in pretty much all the state and national polls is going to change any time soon – though it’s important to remember there’s almost 6 months until the first voting. So I’ve been trying to game out some scenarios for how this race unfolds.
It’s almost sad to watch Jeb Bush try to hold on to his brand as the Republican who really likes Hispanics while also showing he can be just as big a xenophobe as the next presidential candidate – almost sad but more often funny. He’s spent the last few days trying to come up with a palatable way to say “anchor baby.” So yesterday down at the US-Mexico border he explained that “anchor babies” are really more a problem with “Asian people”, not Mexicans.
Yep, it’s a disaster. GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has a net -51% favorable among Hispanics.
This is what’s frightening about the instability in the Democratic nomination race: you could end up with a numbskull like Scott Walker as President. Either channeling 2008 McCain or perhaps just finding new forms of doofus militarism, Walker is calling on President Obama to cancel the state visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s because the borderline collapse of their economy is pulling down our stock market.
