Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), a former U.S. Navy SEAL, said there’s possibly a “mole in the Secret Service.” “My advice to the president is to bolster your private security around you,” Crane said. “Not only to fill holes in the gaps that the Secret Service continues to leave open, but also to watch the watchers. There is a very real possibility at this point that there is a mole within the Secret Service team surrounding the president or at the highest levels of the Secret Service,” he continued.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) reignited his criticisms of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after he reintroduced the government funding bill pulled from the House floor last week. “@SpeakerJohnson is a neocon,” Massie bluntly stated. “He will not dispute what I’ve said,” he added. .@SpeakerJohnson is a neocon. He will not dispute what I’ve said. — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) September 17, 2024 Here’s a screenshot: “Congress has an immediate obligation to do two things: responsibly fund the federal government, and ensure the security of our elections. Because we owe this to our constituents, we will move forward on Wednesday with a vote on the 6-month CR with the SAVE Act attached,” Johnson said Tuesday. “I urge all of my colleagues to do what the overwhelming majority of the people of this county rightfully demand and deserve – prevent non-American citizens from voting in American elections,” he added. “Your bill does NOT responsibly fund government. It’s 12 bills rolled into one bill that continues the profligate spending that’s ruining our country. The fact that you’ve added a 13th bill to it does not make it a serious solution. Please quit insulting our constituents,” Massie responded. Your bill does NOT responsibly fund government.

He also previously joined Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in an effort to oust Johnson from his top spot earlier this year. Massie’s comments came shortly after Johnson announced plans to move forward with a stopgap plan to kick the September funding deadline into March, while also attaching a partisan bill pushing for stricter proof-of-citizenship requirements in elections. “Like an undead but doomed zombie, the CR+Save Act is back. Speaker Johnson is fake fighting by attaching a bright shiny object (that he will later abandon) to a bill that continues our path of destructive spending. I won’t be any part of this insulting charade. I’m a h*** no,” Massie said. Like an undead but doomed zombie, the CR+Save Act is back.

Chip Roy of Texas, requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship to register as voters. The bill already passed the House in July, with five vulnerable Democrats defecting and voting alongside 216 Republicans to support it. “The only way to make the SAVE Act a law would be to refuse to pass a CR until the Senate agrees to pass the SAVE Act and Biden agrees to sign it into law,” Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said in a post on X. “This would force a Gov shutdown on Oct 1 because Biden and Schumer both said they will shutdown the government as they are that adamant against the SAVE Act.” “I refuse to lie to anyone that this plan will work and it’s already DOA this week,” Greene continued. “Speaker Johnson needs to go to the Democrats, who he has worked with the entire time, to get the votes he needs to do what he is already planning to do.” Massie and Greene, as well as Republican Reps. Beth Van Duyne of Texas, Wesley Hunt of Texas, Greg Steube of Florida, Jim Banks of Indiana, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Matt Rosendale of Montana, Cory Mills of Florida and House Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers had all confirmed their initial opposition to the CR before Johnson decided to shelve the bill.

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings unloaded on a Monday night panel, torching Democrat panelists over claims that former Vice President Al Gore actually won the 2000 presidential election over former President George W. Bush. Jennings dubbed the exchange, “Conspiracy Theory Night here at The Abby Phillip Show,” mocking his fellow panelist Elie Mystal for suggesting that the Supreme Court would find a way to change the outcome of the 2024 presidential election in former President Trump’s favor. “Can someone remind me of the rules on election denialism?” Jennings asked in his caption on X. “Two panelists assured me on @cnn that the 2000 election was stolen. Plus, Dems gave the game away on Harris’s moderate rhetoric. My 10pm nightcap on Conspiracy Theory Night!” WATCH: Can someone remind me of the rules on election denialism?

It will be a redo of 2000. So the people in Harris’s camp need to understand they need to win by more than one state. They need to win by two, three, four states to make their margin of victory so large that the Supreme Court can’t take it away from them.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Anchor Abby Phillip appeared unsure how to respond, saying simply, “Hmmm, there’s a lot going on in that.” Jennings jumped in, saying, “I mean, for the record, [George W.] Bush won Florida.” “Come on, guys. It’s conspiracy theory night here at the Abby Phillip show!” he added when several jumped in to object. Jennings went on to give his take on Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign’s attempt to appeal to the middle — namely that he wasn’t buying it, and he didn’t think anyone else should either.
