AOC Utterly TORCHES Republican Leaders TO THEIR FACES on LIVE TV

MS NOW host Catherine Rampell took a sharp jab at President Donald Trump on Sunday for skipping the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) convention for the first time in nearly a decade, suggesting he did so to avoid embarrassing optics tied to his “obsession” with crowd sizes.

“If we know anything about Donald Trump, it is his obsession with a handful of fairly specific things: gold plating, the Village People, and of course, crowd sizes. So you can only imagine how he must feel seeing this split screen,” Rampell said on MS NOW’s “The Weekend Primetime,” queuing up a split-screen video of the massive No Kings rallies and the CPAC event in Texas.

“On the left side, you have the absolutely massive No Kings day protests which took over small towns, big cities all over the place, all around the world. Organizers say at least eight million people showed up. And then on the right side of your screen you have CPAC. Womp, womp. Notice a difference?”

This year’s CPAC conference notably does not have either Trump or any of his children speaking at the event, often a strong draw for conservatives to attend the event. Turnout appears to have suffered as a result, Mother Jones reported.

“It’s sh----,” said GOP delegate Warner Kimo Sutton of the event’s turnout, speaking with Mother Jones. “Last time this place was packed.”

The U.S. Army said it had opened an investigation into an apparent visit to conservative singer Kid Rock's home by two AH-64 Apache attack helicopters.

In a social media post over the weekend, the singer shared a video of himself saluting an Army helicopter hovering over his so-called "Southern White House" near Nashville.

"Fort Campbell leadership is aware of a video circulating on social media depicting AH-64 Apache helicopters operating in the vicinity of a private residence associated with Mr. Robert Ritchie (also known as 'Kid Rock')," 101st Airborne Division spokesperson Maj. Jonathon Bless said in a statement. "The command has initiated an investigation to review the circumstances surrounding this activity."

"The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and Fort Campbell maintain strict standards for aviation safety, professionalism, and adherence to established flight regulations," the statement continued. "We take all concerns regarding aircraft operations and their impact on the surrounding community seriously."

The helicopters were also seen over a "No Kings" protest in downtown Nashville. Bless told NewsChannel 5 that he could not explain why the Army flew over the demonstration.

"This is a level of respect that s--- for brains Governor of California will never know," Rock wrote in his social media post on Saturday. "God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her."

Occupy Democrats condemned what was called a "photoshoot."

"Why are taxpayers paying for military helicopters to fly past Kid Rock's house for a photoshoot?" the group wrote on Facebook.
