With 2016 election denier and two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton selling yet another book, it was the perfect time for ABC News program The View to invite her on and promote Vice President Kamala Harris’s run for the presidency. As part of this effort, the purported conservative voice at the table, Alyssa Farah Griffin took a role in teeing up Clinton to promote the supposed virtues of ABC’s chosen candidate. In introducing Clinton, moderator Whoopi Goldberg energized the audience by proclaiming – without evidence – that, “A lot of Americans feel cautiously optimistic about the election right now.” The ABC host also invoked Clinton when declaring “it is up to us to make sure history does not repeat itself,” in terms of allowing former President Trump back into the White House. Farah Griffin’s first question was a softball pitch designed to allow Clinton to bloviate about how Harris had supposedly “moderated” on many of her policy proposals: Madam Secretary, I want to ask you about Kamala Harris, the vice president who now the presidential candidate for the Democrats. She has moderated on a number of policy issues from supporting the Green New Deal to at one point supporting banning fracking, now being for it. I welcome centrism and welcome growing and evolving while you're in office but what would you say to -- and Bernie Sanders actually said basically she needs to do this to win. I agree it's a good strategy. What do you say to Republicans who can't support Trump or moderates who are worried this is more about getting elected and she may actually govern more to the left? You know her well. Clinton’s initial reaction was to chalk it up to Harris being “a very practical person.” “She knows where she stands. She’s got a good moral compass,” she claimed. “And so being in that sort of practical world where you're neither, you know, one extreme or the other is what I want in the presidency.”     She followed up by trying to brush away Harris’s far-left positions by suggesting they were just things she said in an effort to get the Democratic nomination in 2016. “Secondly, you know, when you're campaigning in a primary, which is where some of this all came from, you know, you're maneuvering,” she argued. Farah Griffin’s other question was a tee up for Clinton to pay lip service to denouncing political violence following the second assassination attempt on their favorite hate object: FARAH GRIFFIN: Madam Secretary, we saw the second attempt on Donald Trump's life this past weekend, this assassination attempt. We know the Iranian regime has a price on his head. Are you fearful for his safety and for vice president Harris's for that matter and what do you make of this conversation around political rhetoric? CLINTON: Well, first of all, political violence has no place in this country. Everybody needs to condemn it as strongly as possible. We need to do everything necessary to keep candidates and public officials safe because as you point out, Alyssa, it's not just home-grown terrorism. Now we have to worry about foreign adversaries. It's not enough they interfere in our elections. They seem to be encouraging the targeting of our candidates. So, let's do everything we can to make sure that everybody is safe and I can't be more strong about that. These words would later be proven hollow as Clinton engaged in the same kind of inciting and stochastic terroristic rhetoric that inspired the second wannabe assassin: This election, it's not just between two people. It's between two very different ideas about what our country should be. And it's between, you know, democracy and autocracy, it's between freedom and oppression, it's between someone who wants to bring us together, Kamala Harris wants to be the president for everybody. Clearly, for them, they don’t want the public to be distracted by anything as trivial as an assassination attempt on the candidate they hate; and they need to keep the focus on getting Harris elected.

[Applause] Yes, yes, yes, yes! But at the DNC last August, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton reminded the Democratic National Convention that it is up to us to make sure history does not repeat itself. [Applause] (…) 11:10:47 a.m. Eastern ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: Madam Secretary, I want to ask you about Kamala Harris, the vice president who now the presidential candidate for the Democrats. She has moderated on a number of policy issues from supporting the Green New Deal to at one point supporting banning fracking, now being for it. I welcome centrism and welcome growing and evolving while you're in office but what would you say to -- and Bernie Sanders actually said basically she needs to do this to win. I agree it's a good strategy. What do you say to Republicans who can't support Trump or moderates who are worried this is more about getting elected and she may actually govern more to the left? You know her well. HILLARY CLINTON: I'd say three things. Number one, she is a very practical person. This was a woman who prosecuted criminals, transnational trafficking, put people in jail for, you know, violating the law and hurting other people. She comes from that tradition. She knows where she stands. She’s got a good moral compass. And so being in that sort of practical world where you're neither, you know, one extreme or the other is what I want in the presidency. Secondly, you know, when you're campaigning in a primary, which is where some of this all came from, you know, you're maneuvering. (…) 11:29:52 a.m. Eastern ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: Madam Secretary, we saw the second attempt on Donald Trump's life this past weekend, this assassination attempt.

It's between two very different ideas about what our country should be. And it's between, you know, democracy and autocracy, it's between freedom and oppression, it's between someone who wants to bring us together, Kamala Harris wants to be the president for everybody. [Applause] And that includes people who don't vote for her. Because she knows if we don't start bringing our country together we are vulnerable, not only internally to division but externally to bad actors. You know, in Russia, in Iran, in China, and elsewhere who want to keep dividing us and bring us down. So, this is an election that is going to determine the future of America. (…)

Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear signed an executive order Thursday forbidding so-called "conversion therapy" for Kentucky minors. Radicals are still permitted to groom confused children into becoming transvestites even though Republicans have thankfully banned sterilizing sex-offender drugs and irreversible genital mutilation in the state. However, medical and mental health professionals certified or licensed to practice in the state are now effectively barred from helping kids get over their gender dysphoria and accept their bodies. The executive order — which both echoes and cites the Trevor Project as an authority on the subject despite the falsity of one of the radical activist group's core claims — defines conversion therapy as: any practice, treatment, or intervention that seeks or purports to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, including efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions toward individuals of the same gender. This definition reflects the successful campaign by gender ideologues to bundle efforts to treat gender identity disorder with efforts to dissuade homosexuals from being gay. Beshear, who unsuccessfully attempted to veto Republicans' ban on sex-change mutilations for kids last year, said, "This [EO] is about protecting our youth from an inhumane practice that hurts them." 'He can't just issue an executive order and prescribe law.' The language of the executive order suggests that those professionals who would dare coach children through their delusions and to accept the reality of their biological sex could lose their licenses. Beshear's order makes clear, however, that affirming a confused minor's "gender identity" and facilitating the minor's "identity exploration and development" are acceptable, as is "any practice, treatment, or intervention that assists an individual seeking to undergo a gender transition or an individual who is in the process of undergoing a gender transition." Beshear has tasked state agencies with taking reports of offending professionals to their respective certification or licensing boards for potential disciplinary action. The governor appears keen to pressure those institutions beyond his reach to fall in line, encouraging all professional certification or licensing boards, departments, and autonomous agencies in the state not subject to his supervision to "explore and implement all options to prohibit the practice of conversion therapy on minors and the referral of minors for conversion therapy." The order also makes it illegal to use state or federal funds "for the practice of conversion therapy on minors, referring a minor for conversion therapy, or extending health benefits coverage for conversion therapy with a minor." Chris Hartman, director of the LGBT activist group Fairness Campaign, said in a statement, "Today Gov. Beshear sends a crystal-clear message to all of Kentucky’s LGBTQ kids and their families – you are perfect as you are," evidently missing the irony that the order bars professionals from helping kids accept the physical reality of who they are. 'This EO stands to chill and stigmatize Christian counseling in the midst of a mental health crisis in KY.' Richard Nelson, executive director of the Commonwealth Policy Center, told the Lexington Herald-Leader that the ban's failure to advance in the Kentucky legislature is evidence that it shouldn't be enacted unilaterally by Beshear. "The legislative route has been tried, which is how we arrive at laws and public policy in the state, and they've not garnered legislative approval. There's a reason for that," said Nelson, adding that the ban might infringe upon First Amendment rights. Conservative attorney Chris Wiest suggested to the Herald-Leader that it amounts to political theater. "He can't just issue an executive order and prescribe law. This is really basic Con Law 101 stuff, and I think the governor knows it, frankly," said Wiest. "He's not stupid, but he gets the headlines and he excites the base." Republican state Rep. Josh Calloway tweeted, "Why is [Andy Beshear] determined to keep vulnerable children confused? I will fight this with every fiber of my being." "Leave the kids alone!" added Calloway. "This EO, which similar forms have been determined to be unconstitutional, will have a chilling effect on Christian counseling, and possibly violate religious liberties...I expect this to be s[w]iftly challenged!" tweeted state Sen. Robby Mills (R). "Parents have the right to raise their children in a manner that is based on biblical standards and to help their children receive faith based counseling. This EO stands to chill and stigmatize Christian counseling in the midst of a mental health crisis in KY," added Mills. Matt Sharp, senior counsel at the Alliance Defending Freedom, told the Washington Post, "The government has no business censoring private conversations between clients and counselors, nor should counselors be used as a tool to impose the government’s biased views on their clients."

Some in the mainstream media are encouraging Democrats to continue calling former President Donald Trump a threat to democracy even in the aftermath of two assassination attempts, including one with a suspect who parroted such talking points before trying to kill the GOP nominee.Less than a day after the second attempt on Trump's life in West Palm Beach, New York Magazine writer Jonathan Chait wrote, "Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. That was true before an assassination attempt was foiled at his golf course Sunday, and it remains true after.""Supporting liberal democracy requires simultaneously affirming the right to engage in legal, peaceful activity while opposing violent and criminal actions. Trump upholds neither side of the equation," Chait added.Piggybacking off of Chait's piece, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart said Trump's criticisms of Democrats' rhetoric toward him is simply projection and that Democrats must continue calling Trump a grave threat to the nation."Anything he accuses somebody of, just do a little search and you will see that he is guilty of it himself and he’s trying to deflect and project. Using his own quotes against him or to highlight them, the New York magazine is right, Democrats are pointing this out for a reason," Capehart said."When he stands there and says, 'I would like to punch that guy in the face, and if something happens to you, I will pay your legal bills,' what is that? From that small thing to inciting an insurrection in the building outside that window there. He’s the one that has been inciting violence. For Democrats to point that out is not inciting violence themselves, but it’s warning people, warning the American people. Democrats have to keep doing it," he explained. - YouTube www.youtube.com Ryan Routh, the second man accused of trying to kill Trump, posted multiple times on his X account about his support for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris."[Joe Biden,] your campaign should be called something like KADAF. Keep America democratic free. Trumps should MASA...Make Americans slaves again master. DEMOCRACY is on ballot and we cannot lose. We cannot afford to fail. The world is counting on us to show the way," Routh posted in April.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

What began as a fantasy football feud ended with a Pennsylvania man pleading guilty to federal felony charges in connection with a fake mass shooting threat that crossed international borders and a fake domestic bomb threat. Matthew Gabriel of Philadelphia got into an argument with a member of his fantasy football league in a group chat in August 2023. After learning his league-mate was traveling to Norway to study abroad, Gabriel allegedly submitted an anonymous online tip to the Norwegian Police Security Service.'His actions were extremely disruptive and consumed significant law enforcement resources on two continents, diverting them from actual incidents and investigations.'The tip read: "On August 15th a man named [Victim 1] is headed around Oslo and has a shooting planned with multiple people on his side involved. They plan to take as many as they can at a concert and then head to a department store. I don’t know any more people then [sic] that."The tipster added, "I just can’t have random people dying on my conscience. He plans to arrive there unarmed spend a couple days normal and then execute the attack. Please be ready. He is around a 5 foot 7 read [sic] head coming from America, on the 10th or 11th I believe. He should have weapons with him. Please be careful." Law enforcement in Norway and the United States spent more than 900 investigative hours over a five-day span, according to the New York Post. When interviewed by the FBI, Gabriel allegedly admitted that he had submitted the tip and that he had fabricated the mass shooting threat. Despite prosecutors filing federal charges for the first phony tip, Gabriel “inexplicably” fabricated a bomb threat to frame the fantasy football league member.United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero stated, “While already being prosecuted for one hoax threat spurred by, of all things, his fantasy football league, Matthew Gabriel inexplicably decided to send another.” In March 2024, the University of Iowa received an email with the subject line “Possible Threat.” "Hello, I saw this in a group chat I’m in and just want to make sure everyone is safe and fine," the email began. "I don’t want anything bad to happen to anybody. Thank you. A man named [PERSON 1] from I believe Nebraska sent this, and I want to make sure that it is a joke and no one will get hurt."The email contained a screenshot of a fantasy football group message that read: “Hello University of Iowa a man named [Victim 1] told me he was gonna blow up the school.”The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania stated in a press release, "Gabriel knew that the victim was not going to blow up the university and that the message had been sent in jest by another member of the fantasy football group regarding Gabriel’s prior threat. Despite knowing that there was no actual threat to the University of Iowa, the defendant transmitted the email knowing that the University of Iowa would view it as a true threat."Gabriel’s attorney, Lonny Fish, told the Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday, “It was just a practical joke. It probably went a little further than it was meant to go.”On Wednesday, the 25-year-old pleaded guilty to two felony counts of transmitting interstate threats — each punishable by up to five years in prison. Gabriel is set to be sentenced in January, and prosecutors agreed to recommend a 15-month house arrest sentence and three years of probation.“This guy is fortunate as hell to get house arrest,” Fish said of his client. “I wouldn’t recommend anyone else do this and expect to get the same result.”U.S. Attorney Romero said, “His actions were extremely disruptive and consumed significant law enforcement resources on two continents, diverting them from actual incidents and investigations. Hoax threats aren’t a joke or protected speech, they’re a crime. My advice to keyboard warriors who’d like to avoid federal charges: always think of the potential consequences before you hit ‘post’ or ‘send.’”Wayne A. Jacobs, special agent in charge of FBI Philadelphia, declared, “You do not get to express emotions through violence or threats of violence. We thank our international partners for their assistance in bringing together this case."What sparked the fantasy football league feud was not revealed.Like Blaze News?

Two assassination attempts against a former president and the current Republican presidential candidate in under two months is already a catastrophe beyond words. Despite this, “the left had the audacity to blame president Trump,” ridicules Liz Wheeler. But she knows the truth: “The rhetoric from the left – calling Trump Hitler, calling him an authoritarian, calling him a dictator, calling him evil, telling women that he's trying to take over their bodies, telling LGBTQIA-identifying people that he's trying to marginalize them and genocide them, that his policies will kill them” is the real reason leftist maniacs keep plotting to kill him. - YouTube youtu.be She points to a recent tweet from none other than Kamala Harris as one of countless examples of the inflammatory rhetoric employed by the left: “14 days [after she posted this tweet], Ryan Routh tried to assassinate Donald J. Trump. Do you think that this is not correlated?” asks Liz. What’s even more disturbing is that Routh, from what evidence tells us, wasn’t “a babbling schizophrenic hearing voices telling him to kill Donald Trump.” Routh was just “a Democrat who very clearly fell for the rhetoric – the Hitler rhetoric – of the Democrat Party” and who likely felt “he would be doing a service to humanity to take Trump out,” says Liz, adding that the left’s emotive language is “intended to create situations like this, create people who are willing to murder President Donald J. Trump.” Equally disturbing is the fact that the mainstream media, which is just the marketing arm of the Democrat Party, has essentially “dismissed [the first assassination attempt] from the news cycle.” Just last week, when Donald Trump brought up the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt during his debate against Kamala Harris, “the ABC moderator cut him off.” “We're still talking about the JFK assassination, what, 70 years later? But six weeks after Donald Trump was the victim of an attempted assassination … according to ABC, we should just move on to another topic,” Liz condemns. “They want Donald Trump dead. Period.” To hear more of Liz’s scathing commentary, including her deep dive into Routh’s disturbing and violent past, watch the clip above.
