Raw Story

Donald Trump spent Tuesday campaigning in Georgia, but someone apparently forget to tell him.

The former president spoke at a campaign rally in Savannah, where he touched on his plans to lower taxes and boost manufacturing, but he spent much of his 90-speech criticizing vice president Kamala Harris on border security and the economy, although he baffled many with a late-night post capping off the day.

"A great day in Louisiana!" Trump posted shortly after midnight on Truth Social.

Trump seemingly tried to cover up his mistake by posting about "internal polling" that showed him winning Louisiana – which he easily won in 2016 and 2020 – "by the largest margin," and then sent out a "thank you" to Georgia shortly before 2 a.m.

"He was in Georgia," posted The Lincoln Project.

"Trump spent the day in Georgia then posted that it was 'A great day in Louisiana,' another example of how he’s changing American politics with his outside-the-box approach to social media," noted USA Today columnist Rex Hubke. "Also, Joe Biden is old and in mental decline."

"Trump was in Georgia, not Louisiana. Who’s gonna tell him?" said Bloomberg columnist and Trump biographer Tim O'Brien.

"Dementia Don strikes again. (Trump was in Georgia today. not Louisiana)," added the account Republicans Against Trump.

"Trump appears to have lost a total grasp on things," The New Republic wrote. "Donald Trump can’t seem to remember what state he’s even in anymore."

The New Republic pointed out that wasn't even the first geographical error he'd made that day after he misstated the name of Charlottesville, Virginia, the site of the infamous 2017 white nationalist rally.

“She didn’t say anything except lies, like bloodbath, like Charlottestown,” Trump said during the Savannah rally in response to an attack line from Harris during their debate earlier this month.

The spokesperson for Charlie Kirk's Turning Point Action group expects Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to help former President Donald Trump to win over "females" because she said birth control was "poison" and men in the U.S. "don't have sperm anymore."

During a Tuesday interview, Turning Point's Caitlin Sinclair hailed Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) strategy for the Trump campaign.

"Look, we talk about this gender divide all the time right now, right?" Sinclair told Real America's Voice. "And I think this is the way Donald Trump can get more of the females on board."

Sinclair cited low fertility rates and "the highest numbers of autoimmune conditions in this country, in history."

"So this is how, if you ask me how we can bridge this gender gap and divide," she continued, "this is how Donald Trump can attract more of the female voters who care about all of these issues, care about how birth control is poisoning us, they care about how the men in this country don't have sperm anymore."

"So this is my answer to how we can bridge that divide," Sinclair added. "And I am definitely on board MAHA, because, guys, there is no Make America Great Again, there is no MAGA without MAHA."

In a report earlier this year, The Washington Post noted that "prominent conservative commentators have seized upon mistrust of medical professionals, sowing misinformation as a way to discourage the use of birth control."

Women are increasingly being charged with pregnancy-related crimes since the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that had found a constitutional right to abortion. Abortion bans are playing a role.

A new study, "Pregnancy As a Crime: A Preliminary Report on the First Year After Dobbs," found 210 cases of pregnancy-related crimes were charged in the first year since the Dobbs decision, the Supreme Court ruling that rescinded the constitutional right to abortion. That is the largest number of cases in any 12-month period since the year Roe v. Wade was decided.

"Most of the cases identified were in just two states: Alabama and Oklahoma," according to the Associated Press. Essentially half of all cases (104) were charged in just one state: Alabama. Oklahoma ranked second with 68.

"Wendy Bach, a professor at the University of Tennessee College of Law and one of the lead researchers on the project, said one of the cases was when a woman delivered a stillborn baby at her home about six or seven months into pregnancy," the AP reports. "Bach said that when the woman went to make funeral arrangements, the funeral home alerted authorities and the woman was charged with homicide."

Mary Ruth Ziegler, a legal historian focusing on abortion at University of California Davis School of Law, told CNN, “Prosecutions of pregnant women for conduct during pregnancy didn’t start with the anti-abortion movement, but they definitely accelerated with the anti-abortion movement.”

Lourdes Rivera, president of Pregnancy Justice, the nonprofit organization that released the study, told the AP, “It’s an environment where pregnancy loss is potentially criminally suspect.”

Rivera, speaking to Jezebel, "said the report’s findings reflect how 'post-Dobbs, abortion bans have created a chilling effect, an environment for law enforcement to misapply existing criminal laws and the ideology of fetal personhood' to wrongly criminalize a range of legal behaviors from pregnant people."

Earlier this year the Republican National Committee released its first new platform in eight years. Some media reports claimed it was "softening" on abortion, and some far-right activists blasted the RNC for that stance. But the new platform included language paving the way for what some call fetal personhood, the belief that human life begins at conception and therefore a fertilized egg is immediately conferred the same civil rights as every other person in America.

CNN reports fetal personhood "is at the root of many of the allegations" examined in the Pregnancy Justice report.

“The goal was not just to have these individual people go to prison, it was meant to set a precedent about what fetal rights look like,” Ziegler said. “So going for the easiest target made sense.”

CNN adds that "the data from June 2022 to June 2023 shows that the vast majority of pregnancy-related charges alleged substance use during pregnancy, according to the new report from Pregnancy Justice. In more than half of the cases, substance use was the only allegation made against the defendant."

The vast majority of the defendants were low income, and proof that the fetus was actually harmed was not required for most of the 210 charges.

"About half of cases were in Alabama, where residents voted in 2018 to amend the Constitution to include protections for unborn life and where the state Supreme Court ruled in February that frozen embryos are children and those who destroy them can be held liable for wrongful death," CNN noted.

“The People of Alabama have declared the public policy of this State to be that unborn human life is sacred,” Chief Justice Tom Parker wrote in his concurring opinion earlier this year. “We believe that each human being, from the moment of conception, is made in the image of God, created by Him to reflect His likeness.”

Pregnancy Justice on social media explained that after the Dobbs decision, "State actors are emboldened, putting pregnant people under INCREASED surveillance and making a dire situation even worse."

Dr. Norman Ornstein, a political scientist, senior fellow emeritus at the American Enterprise Institute, and contributing editor for the Atlantic weighed in on Alabama Public Radio's report from the Associated Press.

"Alabama. Elected Tommy Tuberville. Katie Britt. Kay Ivey. A Hellscape of racism and cruelty," Ornstein wrote, referring to the state's Republican freshmen U.S. Senators and longtime Republican governor.

Mark Robinson, North Carolina's Republican nominee for governor, has reportedly retained a former attorney for Donald Trump to investigate "where and how" comments made on a pornographic website were connected to the candidate.

Robinson hired attorney Jesse Binnall, who worked for Trump's campaign in 2016, WUNC's Colin Campbell first reported Tuesday. The announcement comes following an explosive CNN report that an account linked to Robinson posted comments more than a decade ago on a porn site messaging board in which he defended slavery and called himself a "Black Nazi."

Robinson said Binnall would "investigate where and how these false smears originated."

The candidate previously refused to allow tech experts to prove he did not make the online posts. He has also threatened to sue CNN.

Even MSNBC host Katy Tur couldn't understand what Donald Trump said during a Monday night rally in Pennsylvania.

"Now we have this stupid stuff where you can vote 45 days early," Trump told his rally attendees. "I wonder what the hell happens during that 45. Let’s move — see these votes? We’ve got about a million votes in there. Let’s move them. We’re fixing the air conditioner in the room, right?"

He continued: "No, it’s terrible. What happened the last time was disgraceful, including right here. But we’re not going to let it happen again. You know too big to rig, right? That’s one way you do it."

After showing the clip, Tur confessed, "For the life of me, I don't know what he's talking about when he mentions air conditioning in that soundbite."

Trump urged his voters to cast their ballots early, then claimed that early voting is "a scam," Tur explained.

NBC News senior political editor Mark Murray told Tur that at least 51 percent of voters intend to cast ballots early either in person or by mail, according to the latest polls from their network.

Attorney Gloria Allred revealed that she is filing a lawsuit against rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs from one of his accusers, who only recently learned there was a video of her alleged rape.

According to the filing posted by judicial reporter Meghann Cuniff, Thalia Graves is suing Combs along with his companies, alleging that Combs and bodyguard Joseph Sherman "viciously raped her at the Bad Boy Records studio in New York."

Cuniff was one of the employees at the studio and was "lure[d]" into a meeting with the two men, the lawsuit alleges. Once "sequestered," the men gave her "a drink, likely laced with a drug that eventually caused her briefly to lose consciousness." When she woke she was "bound and restrained."

The filing says that the two men "brutally sexually abused and violated" her. Combs, in particular, "raped her, anally and vaginally" while Sherman "slapped her, and repeatedly thrust" himself "into her mouth."

The complaint explains that Graves was suicidal and has suffered anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and "lives in fear of the defendants."

It wasn't until Nov. 27, 2023, that she learned that Combs and Sherman videotaped the "horrific rape 22 years before and had shown the video to multiple men, seeking to publicly degrade and humiliate both Plaintiff and her boyfriend."

Combs has been federally indicted on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. He denies the charges.
