Team Trump Blames McConnell for Orchestrating DeSantis Blow-UpHIDDEN HAND Jamie Ross News Correspondent Published Jan. 18, 2022 4:50AM ET Reuters/Joshua Roberts Relations between Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have broken down in recent weeks—and the ex-president’s team is ready to dish out some blame. The Daily Beast reported Monday that Trump has incessantly insulted DeSantis to anyone who will listen since the turn of the year, and the Florida governor has been happy to publicly condemn Trump’s early response to the pandemic. Now, according to NBC News, Trump’s advisers have pointed the finger at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been accused of being the “hidden hand” behind the falling out. The aides made the link because DeSantis condemned Trump’s pandemic policies on Ruthless, a podcast co-hosted by McConnell adviser Josh Holmes. “I like Josh. Josh is great. But he’s a wholly owned subsidiary of McConnell World. And there’s no way you can tell me that this was all a coincidence,” an unnamed Trump adviser told the network. McConnell’s Senate spokesman declined to comment on the report.

NH Libertarian Party Celebrates MLK Day By Tweeting, ‘America Isn’t In Debt to Black People… It’s the Other Way Around’ By Michael LucianoJan 17th, 2022 [ Apparently whtie racial resentment is a big thing among Libertarians. ] The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire tweeted and deleted a Martin Luther King Jr. Day post on Monday that – to put in the most charitable terms conceivable – did not exactly meet the moment. It all began when Nikole Hannah-Jones of New York Times Magazine its 1619 Project took exception to an MLK-themed tweet by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). She quoted part of King’s 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech in which he said, “It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.'” Missing smthg: It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked insufficient funds. t.co — Ida Bae Wells (@nhannahjones) January 17, 2022 Upon seeing the tweet, the person(s) responsible for running the Twitter account for the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire got an idea for a tweet. It wasn’t a very good one. The tweet was deleted, but not before one user was able to take a screenshot: The Libertarian Party of NH deleted their tweet, but not fast enough. pic.twitter.com/jQZpVKejx5 — Ethan Grey (@_EthanGrey) January 17, 2022 “Black people in America get special access to essential drugs, receive special federal funding due to race, and are first-in-line for every college and every job,” it read. “America isn’t in debt to black people, if anything it’s the other way around.” The tweet appeared to be repeating the misleading claim that’s made the rounds on right-wing media to suggest White people are being denied treatments for Covid-19. [ It's failed ex-President Trump who made the claim that blacks get special treatment for COVID. ] This is hardly the first time the Libertarian Party in the Granite State has offered a hot take. In November, its Twitter account declared, “Racism is pretty much a non-issue in America. Libertarians suffer more oppression than black people.” mediaite.com
