Staff Exodus After Anti-Impeachment Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) Announces Plans to Join GOP
Staff Exodus After Anti-Impeachment Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) Announces Plans to Join GOP
Six staffers for New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) have resigned following reports of the anti-impeachment Democrat’s plans to switch to the Republican Party to avoid a primary challenger.
CNN reports: “Five aides to New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew — Javier Gamboa, Edward Kaczmarski, Justin M. O’Leary, Mackenzie Lucas and Caroline Wood — wrote in the letter that they can ‘no longer in good conscience continue our service in the Congressman’s employ.’ A sixth staffer also resigned Sunday evening, a source with knowledge of the matter told CNN. Among the staffers who quit were Van Drew’s legislative director, communications director and his scheduler.”
Wrote the staffers in a letter: “Sadly, Congressman Van Drew’s decision to join the ranks of the Republican Party led by (President) Donald Trump does not align with the values we brought to this job when we joined his office.”
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy ripped Van Drew on Saturday: “Betraying our values by siding with Donald Trump is the final straw and made it impossible for him to continue being supported by our party, as grassroots activists, local party leaders in his district, and I have made clear in recent weeks. This party switch is cynical and desperate, and I am confident that a Democrat who shares the values and priorities of our Democratic Party will hold this seat.”

CNN reports: “The heckling lasted for about one minute, according to CNN’s Kate Bennett, who was in the room. But the audience remained raucous, audibly speaking over her remarks throughout her brief speech to the B’More Youth Summit. … She was again loudly booed, and also cheered, as she departed the stage at the conclusion of her speech. This is the first time the first lady has been publicly booed at a solo event, though the Trump administration has had strained relations with the city of Baltimore.”

Devin Nunes Met with Ukrainian Prosecutor to Dig Up Dirt on Bidens, Says Indicted Giuliani Henchman
Devin Nunes Met with Ukrainian Prosecutor to Dig Up Dirt on Bidens, Says Indicted Giuliani Henchman
Ranking Republican House Intelligence Committee member and Trump ally Devin Nunes (R-CA), who has hammered witnesses all week in the impeachment inquiry he has repeatedly labeled a “circus,” was allegedly directly involved in Trump administration schemes to dig up dirt on Joe Biden in Ukraine.
Joseph Bondy, a lawyer for indicted Giuliani henchman Lev Parnas, says his client is willing to testify to Congress that Nunes met last year with Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin in an effort to dig up dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

NBC News reports: “Parnas was indicted last month for allegedly making illegal campaign contributions. He pleaded not guilty while expressing willingness to cooperate with impeachment investigators.”
CNN reports: “Bondy tells CNN that his client and Nunes began communicating around the time of the Vienna trip. Parnas says he worked to put Nunes in touch with Ukrainians who could help Nunes dig up dirt on Biden and Democrats in Ukraine, according to Bondy. That information would likely be of great interest to House Democrats given its overlap with the current impeachment inquiry into President Trump, and could put Nunes in a difficult spot. … Parnas’ claims about Nunes’ alleged involvement offers a new wrinkle and for the first time suggests the efforts to dig up dirt on the Bidens involved a member of Congress.”
Nunes called the reports “demonstrably false and scandalous” in a statement to Breitbart News. Nunes said he plans to sue CNN and The Daily Beast for what he said are false reports.

Conway was not pleased. More, via The Hill: “It’s the same stuff all the time. What you just quoted is said every day by other voices but you wanted to put it in my husband’s voice because you think somehow that that will help your ratings or that you’re really sticking it to Kellyanne Conway … Where is the shame, where is the introspection? … I think you embarrassed yourself and I’m embarrassed for you because this is CNN now? I looked up to you when I was in college and law school, I would turn on CNN to see what Wolf Blitzer had to say about war, famine, disruption abroad. I really respected you for all those years as someone that would give you the news and now it’s what somebody’s husband says.”
More of the interview below. We’ll post a full clip if it becomes available.

Richard Spencer Unleashes Racist and Anti-Semitic Tirade in Audio Leaked by Milo Yiannopoulos
Richard Spencer Unleashes Racist and Anti-Semitic Tirade in Audio Leaked by Milo Yiannopoulos
Richard Spencer, who has been at the forefront of the resurgence of the white supremacist movement fomented by Donald Trump and in January 2017 denied being a neo-Nazi after being punched in the face while trolling a protest, unleashed a racist and anti-Semitic tirade in an audio snippet released on Sunday by alt-right homocon troll Milo Yiannopoulos.
Richard Spencer is a fucking Nazi.
Don’t believe it?

Says Spencer in the clip: “My ancestors f**king enslaved those little pieces of f**king sh*t. They don’t do this to f**king me. We’re going to f**king ritualistically humiliate them. Little fucking kikes. They get ruled by people like me. Little f**king octaroons.”
BoingBoing reports: “Yiannopoulous claims the recording was made in the immediate aftermath of counterprotestor Heather Heyer’s murder at the 2017 Charlottesville ‘Unite the Right’ rally.”
Yiannopoulos released the audio on Telegram because he was reportedly upset that he was banned from Twitter over hate speech and Spencer is still on the platform, according to Angry White Men, a site that tracks white supremacists: “Relegated to Telegram, Milo had been complaining that Spencer, and not he, still had a Twitter account. ‘This is Richard Spencer,’ Yiannopoulos griped in a post containing the leaked audio. ‘Spencer is still on Twitter, as is David Duke. But Gavin [McInnes], Alex [Jones], Laura [Loomer], Roger [Stone] and I are apparently too much.’”
Twitter users pointed out that CNN has invited Spencer on in recent weeks as a legitimate guest commentator.

Hillary Clinton Believes Russia is Grooming Tulsi Gabbard as Third Party Candidate, Calls Jill Stein a ‘Russian Asset’
Hillary Clinton Believes Russia is Grooming Tulsi Gabbard as Third Party Candidate, Calls Jill Stein a ‘Russian Asset’
In an interview with David Plouffe for his podcast Campaign HQ, Hillary Clinton alleged that Russia is grooming Tulsi Gabbard as a third party spoiler candidate, and labeled Jill Stein a Russian asset.
Said Clinton: “I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on someone who’s currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. That’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset. Yeah, she’s a Russian asset—I mean, totally. They know they can’t win without a third-party candidate. So I don’t know who it’s going to be, but I will guarantee you they will have a vigorous third-party challenge in the key states that they most needed.”
When asked if Clinton was referring to Tulsi Gabbard, her spokesman Nick Merrill told CNN’s Dan Merica, “If the nesting doll fits.”
Gabbard has pledged not to run as a third party candidate in an interview with CNN.
During this week’s debate, Gabbard denied that she’s a Russian asset. She called those making the allegations “completely despicable.”
