Fox News cuts off Kamala Harris’ first campaign speech after she comes for Donald Trump
Fox News declined to air Vice President Kamala Harris's first presidential campaign speech in its entirety, pulling the plug soon after she attacked Republican nominee Donald Trump.
During an event in Wisconsin, Harris said she would challenge Trump's record "any day of the week."
"So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump's type," she asserted. "As Attorney General of California, I took on one of our country's largest for-profit colleges that was scamming students. Donald Trump ran a for-profit college that scammed students."
"As a prosecutor, I specialized in cases involving sexual abuse," she pointed out. "Well, Trump was found liable for committing sexual abuse."
Harris said that the presidential race was "about two different visions for our nation."
"One where we are focused on the future," she said. "The other focused on the past."
But only minutes after the speech began, Fox News cut back to its anchors in the studio while other networks, including CNN, MSNBC and Newsmax, ran it in its entirety.
"All right, she said she'll put her record up against Donald Trump's record any day," Fox News host Sandra Smith told co-host John Roberts. "Very little mention, John, of her accomplishments while vice president, while in the White House."

"Yeah, critics would say if she was to base a speech on her accomplishments in the White House, it would be a very short speech," Roberts opined. "But now we know at least what her major line of attack is going to be."
"So she's going to, it's going to be the prosecutor versus the convicted felon thing," he added, rolling his eyes.
‘Homesick’ MAGA rioter who tried to claim asylum in Ireland arrested on return to U.S.
Wisconsin Trump supporter Paul Kovacik tried to flee the country and claim asylum in Ireland — only to grow homesick, return to America, and promptly get arrested.
In a legal filing flagged by Politico's Kyle Cheney it was revealed that Kovacik late last year fled to Dublin to claim asylum shortly before he was to begin what was supposed to have been a 90-day prison sentence.
However, it seems that Kovacik couldn't last more than seven months in a foreign country.
"On June 19, 2024, Kovacik decided to voluntarily return to the United States from Ireland," the court filing states. "Kovacik advised that he... had recently decided to voluntarily withdraw his asylum claim and return to the United States because he felt 'homesick.'"

Kovacik then flew into Minneapolis, where he was "promptly arrested" and taken to Hennepin County Jail before being transferred to a prison in Chicago where he is currently serving his original 90-day prison sentence.
However, even after getting out of jail, he may get additional time, as the court filing states that "there is probable cause to believe that" he broke the law that "makes it a crime to fail to surrender for service of a sentence pursuant to a court order."
Major donor believes Democrats ‘squandered’ chance to draft party’s next ‘Lebron James’
A big-time donor for President Joe Biden thinks the Democrats missed a big opportunity by passing the ball to Vice President Kamala Harris without a convention, and he won’t be funding her run.
John Morgan, a Florida attorney and major donor for previous Democratic candidates, shared his views with Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Tuesday afternoon on why he’s not giving the Democratic presidential nominee any money.
“Harris brings a lot of great things to the table,” Morgan said. “Is she the best messenger? Is she the best person? Is her way the best way to go forward? And for me, I don’t think so.”
He compared the convention process to a fantasy basketball draft, noting that any smart player’s top draft should be a no-brainer.
“We would pick Lebron James,” Morgan said. “We had that type of opportunity but they seem to be squandering it by taking a lesser pick.”

Cavuto pressed Morgan on who he thinks his party’s Lebron James is, and he listed off several party favorites: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Witmer – noting that a vetted combination of star players would be the strongest choice.
But that ship has sailed, Morgan said, adding that whoever she picks as a running mate is irrelevant at this point.
“The deal is done. I don’t think there’s anything more that can be done,” Morgan said. “People vote for president, they don't vote for vice president.”
