Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fumed after Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), a fellow far-Left member of “The Squad,” lost his primary race this week following his full on embrace of anti-Semitism following Hamas’ October 7 massacre. Ocasio-Cortez, who has an extensive history of palling around with anti-Semites like Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), campaigned for Bowman in the days prior to his blowout loss. “This was about $20 million in big money being spent in a historic sum, unlike any seen in American history, point blank period,” AOC told reporters when asked if Democrat leadership could have done more to support Bowman. “And I think we need to have a real conversation about AIPAC. I think that what we do need to have [is] a real conversation about is how a Republican, primarily Republican and largely Republican financed organization is playing and dumping money and playing an extremely divisive role in the Democratic Party.” AIPAC is not right-wing, conservative, or a Republican organization and it has long given money to candidates on both sides of the aisle. “And by the way, it makes it much harder for us to coalition build and to create the winning coalitions that not just can ensure that we have representation at the congressional level,” she continued. “But they are spending this money into our party for a reason, because we need that coalition to win back House majorities. We need that energy and coalition of a progressive base in order to make sure that we win statewide and federally, and Republicans are pouring money to finance these for a reason because people and representatives like Jamaal Bowman can move and reach communities that many other areas of the Democratic Party cannot.” “And so if Republicans can finance taking people like that off the board, they can also make it easier for themselves in November,” she concluded. “And so I think for all of us as a party, regardless of your stances, it’s very important that we have a conversation about why Republicans are playing such a large role in financing division and among Democrats.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP At no point during her response did she ever address the actual question and she never disavowed herself from blatant anti-Semitic remarks that Bowman made, including his denials of the October 7 massacre. Ocasio-Cortez also did not seem to understand that Bowman lost to a liberal Democrat, 70-year-old George Latimer, not a Republican. Ocasio-Cortez did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire about whether she had a problem with the Democrat Party’s decision to meddle in Republican Party primaries in the 2022 midterms.

Miss Maryland contestants said they were shocked to realize they had been changing and using the restroom “in the same space as a biological man” after discovering they had competed against a male after he was crowned Miss Maryland USA. Speaking to the Daily Signal, several women who competed in the recent Miss Maryland contest said they were “disgusted” and called the competition “rigged” after a trans-identifying male who goes by the name Bailey Anne Kennedy won the competition on the first day of Pride month. On June 1, the trans-identifying male was crowned Miss Maryland USA, a competition that promises a “fair environment in which young women have the opportunity to develop skills that will help them win in life by being their personal best in everything they do,” the outlet noted. “I first realized I competed with a biological man a few days after the competition,” contestant Elizabeth McCarthy said. “I saw it on the Miss Maryland USA Instagram post. At first, I was shocked. I felt sick to my stomach and was so upset for the other women in the top five. I was disgusted and disappointed that the pageant coordinators allowed women to undress in front of a man without any disclosure.” EXCLUSIVE: Miss Maryland USA crowned a man who identifies as a woman on the first day of Pride Month. Until now, the contestants had not spoken up. But there was widespread frustration. Now these women speak to @DailySignal: https://t.co/7Zc9xua9Pc — Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) June 26, 2024 “I feel Kennedy won this competition because it was set up,” she added. “What are the odds that a trans-identifying individual wins the Miss Maryland USA title on the first day of Pride Month? I feel that men are taking over everything that women worked so hard for.” Another contestant told the outlet, “I felt lied to. I would’ve liked to know ahead of time, as I was subject to change, utilize the bathroom, and be in the same space as a biological man … it surely seemed like the organization and Bailey was trying to hide this fact until it was convenient to them.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP A third contestant said the fact that a trans-identifying male won the crown on the 1st day of Pride Month shows the “competition was rigged.” “There isn’t a doubt in my mind that it was not,” the contestant said. “For example, I think in previous years, the pageant secured different judges … I think they were changed. In addition, the staff were not respectful nor pleasant. I completely understand that this is a pageant and it is fast paced, but there is a certain respect that individuals should provide, especially since we are all grown women who can take direction and listen.” “I believe it is disheartening to have so many women pay for coaches, hair and makeup, and find sponsors when they already knew who they were going to select,” she added. Kennedy will now compete for the title of Miss USA in Los Angeles in August, a competition that is part of the Miss Universe pageant, which is now owned by a trans-identifying male.

Former President Donald Trump has ramped up his criticism of President Joe Biden, focusing on recent signals from the White House that Biden might skip a proposed debate. Trump, campaigning for the 2024 election, suggested he might follow suit if Biden continues to avoid direct confrontation. Trump's fiery remarks were delivered during a rally in Dayton, Ohio, where he accused Biden of being a "great threat to our democracy" and labeled him as incompetent and corrupt. Trump took aim at Biden's reluctance to participate in a debate, calling it a sign of weakness and a tactic to avoid public scrutiny of his policies and record. Joe Biden didn’t agree to a drug test before the debate tonight. Trump did. Joe Biden didn’t agree to debate a third party candidate. Trump did. Joe Biden requested there not to be a live audience. Trump didn’t. Now – who is more fit to be President? — Steve (@SteveLovesAmmo) June 27, 2024 The Biden campaign has hinted that the president might not attend the debate, a move that has sparked controversy and accusations from Trump's camp. Trump seized this opportunity to question Biden's ability to defend his administration's actions and policies in a public forum. "If Joe Biden is too afraid to debate, maybe I won't waste my time either," Trump declared to a cheering crowd, emphasizing his readiness to challenge Biden directly. Trump's comments reflect his broader strategy of portraying Biden as unable to handle the demands of the presidency. The former president criticized Biden's handling of the border crisis and accused him of using the Department of Justice to target political opponents, including Trump himself. These accusations are part of Trump's ongoing narrative that the current administration is weaponizing government agencies for political gain. Flashback to the 2020 debate where Trump had to remind Biden what point he was on Biden: “Manufacturing went in the hole, number one — Number two. Number three, the… Trump: “No you were on number two” Biden: No… pic.twitter.com/2hsTkNFSQV — johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) June 26, 2024 In addition to his attacks on Biden, Trump continued to highlight issues such as crime and immigration, blaming Biden's policies for recent violent incidents. Trump pointed to the tragic murder of a Georgia nursing student, allegedly by an illegal immigrant, as a consequence of what he called Biden's "savage attack on America." He argued that such crimes are a direct result of the president's lax immigration policies. The debate over who poses the greater threat to democracy has become a central theme in the 2024 election campaign. Trump and Biden have each accused the other of undermining democratic institutions, creating a stark choice for voters. Trump's allegations against Biden, coupled with the president's counter-accusations, underscore the deep divisions within American politics. As the election season heats up, the issue of debates and direct confrontations between the candidates is likely to remain in the spotlight. Trump's suggestion that he might skip the debate if Biden does adds another layer of complexity to the already contentious race. Both candidates are using every opportunity to rally their bases and discredit their opponent, setting the stage for a highly charged and divisive campaign. Trump's strategy of framing Biden's debate avoidance as a sign of fear and weakness is designed to question the president's competence and readiness to lead. This narrative is likely to resonate with Trump's supporters, who view Biden's reluctance to debate as indicative of broader issues within his administration. As the 2024 election approaches, the political rhetoric from both sides is expected to escalate, with each candidate leveraging their platform to paint the other as a fundamental threat to the nation's future. The ongoing battle between Trump and Biden highlights the high stakes of the upcoming election and the significant impact it will have on the direction of the country.
