Stars at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday were silent hours after authorities said there had been a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. The ABC broadcast from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles lasted for more than three hours, and not one presenter or winner mentioned a single word about the plot to kill Trump, this time at his golf club in Florida. Secret Service personnel opened fire on a man who poked a rifle muzzle through a fence at Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach. The suspect fled and was later arrested. CNN reported that Trump returned to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach after the incident. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! During the broadcast, several stars did get political despite not mentioning Trump. One took a swipe at the former president’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Actress Candice Bergen recalled playing unmarried, pregnant news anchor “Murphy Brown” and being criticized by then-Vice President Dan Quayle in the 1990s. ?

Picture Emerges of Second Would-Be Trump Assassin

“It’s undeniable at this point that Asgard archaea contributed a lot to the complexity that we see in eukaryotes today.”

Celebrities participating in the 76th annual Emmy Awards on Sunday on ABC surprisingly steered clear of presidential politics this election season, despite a couple of jabs directed at vice-presidential candidate JD Vance and his past ‘childless cat lady' remarks that were taken out of context and overblown by the left.  Within the first 10 minutes of the show, singer and actress Selena Gomez took a veiled swipe at Vance while directing a joke at her Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, calling them “childless cat ladies.” Martin Short: And Steve, let me just say what an honor it is for me to be working with someone who looks like he's fallen and can't get up. Steve Martin: And let me say what an honor it is for me to be working with someone who looks like a former women's tennis champion. Selena Gomez: And let me say what an honor it is work with two guys who are this far away from being ‘childless cat ladies.’ Actress Candice Bergen also got her claws out, going after Vance with another cat lady jab while presenting the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Candice Bergen: I was surrounded by brilliant and funny actors, had the best scripts to work with and in one classic moment, my character was attacked by Vice President Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother. Oh how far we’ve come. Today, a Republican candidate for vice president would never attack a woman for having kids. So as they say, my work here is done. Meow! Aside from the cat lady jokes, there was no mention of the presidential candidates or even the current sitting president, Joe Biden, which is rather surprising considering how politically vocal celebrities were during the former President Donald Trump's administration. While the speakers were mum on presidential politics, they weren’t mum on identity politics, as it was center stage throughout the 3-hour show. Actor John Leguizamo attempted to take a dig at Republicans, who take issue with forced ‘DEI’ (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) initiatives, by sarcastically saying he was a Hollywood ‘DEI’ hire. Leguizamo, who was born in Columbia, then went on a rant about the historic lack of diversity in Hollywood and the stereotypical roles assigned to Latino actors. While the actor celebrated progress related to the matter, he still called for Hollywood to do more to tell the stories of ‘excluded groups.’ John leguizamo: Hi, I'm John leguizamo. I'm one of Hollywood's DEI hires. That's right, DEI. The D is for diligence. The E is for excellence. The I is for imagination. Everyone in this room tonight has dedicated their lives to diligence, excellence, and imagination. And we are all DEI hires. What a beautiful and diverse room this is tonight. When I was growing up in Jackson heights, queens, a scrawny little wannabe gangster, you're not from queens, don't lie, I didn't even know that people like me could be actors. At fifteen, I didn't know the word representation. Actually, there were lots of words I didn't know back then. But I saw a lot of brown face. I saw Marlon Brando play Emiliano Zapata in "Viva Zapata," and Al Pacino play Cuban gangster Tony Montana, and Natalie wood play a Puerto Rican beauty named -- ♪ Maria ♪ everybody played us except us. I didn't see a lot of people on TV who looked like me. Of course, there was Ricky Ricardo. "Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do." I know some of you remember the Looney Tunes cartoon mouse and his lethargic, useless sidekick, Speedy Gonzales, "The fastest mouse in all Mexico," and his lethargic, useless sidekick Slowpoke Rodriguez. "Sorry, Senior Pussycat. I can't play with you no more. It's time for my siesta." That's how we saw ourselves, because that's all we saw of ourselves. Someone should alert Leguizamo that it’s not 'racist' Republicans calling the shots when it comes to script writing and role casting in Liberal Hollywood. Just sayin'.  Speaking of casting, Nava Mau apparently made Hollywood history by being the first Latina Trans nominee for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for a role played in Baby Reindeer. Mau didn't actually win the category, but received significant praise and recognition from liberal media.    Baby Reindeer's Nava Mau shares a powerful message for transgender representation at the #Emmys. ? pic.twitter.com/sWHWw2tD5W — E!

Kamala Harris booster Alexander Vindman and his wife seized upon the second attempted assassination of President Donald Trump as another opportunity to attack the Republican. Their latest salvos did not go over well online. Vindman served as the star witness in the impeachment inquiry regarding President Donald Trump's July 25, 2019, phone call with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In the years since, the Ukrainian-born former White House official has leaned hard into his new career criticizing Trump. Days after Vindman reposted a Harris promotional video containing an unsubstantiated smear and the claim that "Trump is a danger to national security," a Democratic donor with an intense interest in Ukraine's war effort allegedly set about killing Trump in Florida. Following reports of gunshots outside the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach and a possible assassination attempt, many went online to express concern for Trump and his family — including President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Vindman and his wife alternatively channeled their hatred of Trump. Shortly after the assassination attempt was thwarted, Rachel Vindman, the Harris booster's wife, tweeted, "No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon." 'The "tolerance" of the "Left" ladies and gentlemen.' Rachel Vindman was evidently making light of two shootings: the latest as well as the assassination attempt on July 13 when Trump was shot, former firefighter Corey Comperatore died trying to protect his family, and two others were badly injured. Some found it hard to believe that the Harris booster's wife would rush to make such a callous comment. Former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson asked, "Did you really just say this?" Comedian Rob Schneider wrote, "The 'tolerance' of the 'Left' ladies and gentlemen. At least these demons expose themselves as the loathsome cold hearted charlatans that they are." Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) wrote, "Does this represent the stance of the whole Vindman family? Especially the one running for Congress?" Waltz was referring to Alexander Vindman's twin, Eugene Vindman, who is running for Congress as a Democrat in Virginia's 7th District. Fox News host Laura Ingraham wrote, "This lovely specimen is the wife of chief impeachment witness against Trump Alexander Vindman. Today she mocked the 2nd attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Of course, if same had happened to Zelenskyy, she'd demand an international inquiry." Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, tweeted, "This is disgusting." Rachel Vindman later revealed that her initial message was being interpreted just as intended, stating in a subsequent tweet, "Sorry you're triggered [laughing emoji]. I mean no I'm not. I don't care a little bit." "Trump has been inciting violence against his enemies for years. He douses a situation in gasoline, lights a match, & walks away claiming no responsibility," added Rachel Vindman. "Look at what is happening in Springfield, OH right now but he wants to claim he's a victim. You cannot have it both ways." Alexander Vindman soon joined his wife in attacking Trump and downplaying attempted political assassinations. When Trump co-campaign manager and U.S. Marine veteran Chris LaCivita suggested that Alexander Vindman should condemn his wife's statement, Vindman instead wrote, "I condemn you. I condemn your lack of integrity, your attacks on immigrants, your desecration of Arlington National Cemetery." Vindman was not referring to the Biden-Harris administration's trampling of graves and toppling of the Jewish American-designed Reconciliation Memorial but rather Trump's recent visit — in which the Republican joined several Gold Star families in paying respects to the fallen, specifically the 13 service members killed in the Biden-Harris administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Vindman added, "Your candidate @realDonaldTrump has incited political violence for a decade. He could reduce the temperature of this election cycle. But you MAGA thrive on bullying. Fact is you are all weak." The Harris booster proceeded to insinuate that Trump was at fault for his targeting, writing, "Donald @realDonaldTrump instigated attacks on legal immigrants resulting in bomb threats. His constant stoking of political violence doesn't receive enough scrutiny. And the violence he inspires doesn't receive enough condemnation." When Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) suggested the Vindman family "is saying if Trump won't shut up he deserves to be killed," Alexander Vindman responded, "You & the MAGA extremists have polluted our politics. On November 5th the American public will cancel Trump & Trumpism." Alexander Vindman's twin, Eugene Vindman, took a different approach, writing, "I am grateful that no one is hurt, and thankful for the law enforcement agents who acted bravely and swiftly in the line of duty." Eugene Vindman is running against Republican Derrick Anderson, a former A-Team leader in the Green Berets and Special Forces detachment commander who previously served in the Trump administration.
