A Democrat running against President Joe Biden in 2024 criticized the court ruling that kicked former President Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado. In a post to X on Wednesday‚ Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) rejected the Colorado Supreme Court majority’s decision the night before to disqualify Trump from the state’s presidential primary on the view that he engaged in an insurrection on January 6‚ 2021‚ using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. “Do I believe Trump is guilty of inspiring an insurrection and doing nothing to stop it? I was there. Absolutely‚” Phillips said in a post to his campaign X account. “Do I believe it’s wrong to ban him from the ballot in Colorado without a conviction? Absolutely. Do I believe the [U.S. Supreme Court] must opine immediately? Absolutely.” Do I believe Trump is guilty of inspiring an insurrection and doing nothing to stop it? I was there. Absolutely. Do I believe it’s wrong to ban him from the ballot in Colorado without a conviction? Absolutely. Do I believe the SCOTUS must opine immediately? Absolutely. — Dean Phillips (@deanbphillips) December 20‚ 2023 Phillips‚ who trails the incumbent by a wide margin in polls‚ spoke out shortly after Biden commented on the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling. While addressing reporters‚ Biden similarly asserted the opinion that Trump “supported” an insurrection‚ but cast doubt on the 14th Amendment case. He did not go as far as Phillips in calling for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the ruling. “It’s self-evident‚” Biden said to someone who asked if Trump is an “insurrectionist.” He continued‚ “You saw it all. Now whether the 14th Amendment applies‚ I’ll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. There’s no question about it. None. Zero.” Reporter: “Is Trump an insurrectionist‚ sir?” President Biden: "It's self-evident. You saw it all. Now whether the 14th Amendment applies‚ I'll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. There's no question about it. None. Zero." pic.twitter.com/SlWwQ5TtJs — The Recount (@therecount) December 20‚ 2023 In a statement‚ Trump’s campaign vowed to appeal the 4-3 decision in Colorado‚ which was designed to be placed on hold until January 4 or until the Supreme Court rules on the case‚ and other GOP candidates for president and officials have criticized the ruling. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Trump himself decried “ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” in all-caps posts to his Truth Social account while also calling for other legal matters he faces to be dropped. He additionally said‚ “A SAD DAY IN AMERICA!!!” Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‚ another presidential candidate whose independent bid is surging among key groups‚ slammed the Colorado ruling‚ too. “Trump blocked from the ballot in Colorado. When a court in another country disqualifies an opposition candidate from running‚ we say‚ ‘That’s not a real democracy.’ Now it’s happening here‚” Kennedy said on X. “I’m not a Trump supporter (if I were‚ I wouldn’t be running against him!) But I want to beat him in a fair election‚ not because he was kicked off the ballot. Let the voters choose‚ not the courts!” Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur‚ who is running campaign for president despite being an immigrant from Turkey in defiance of the U.S. Constitution’s “natural born citizen” clause‚ voiced support for the 14th Amendment case against Trump‚ but also chastised the Democratic Party’s handling of the election process. “While people are outraged that Trump has been taken off the ballot in Colorado‚ at the same time‚ the Democratic Party has taken all of Biden’s opponents off the ballot in Florida‚ Tennessee and North Carolina primaries‚” he said on X. “Democracy is on the line in a lot of ways in this election.”

Daily Wire co-founders Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing landed at spot number 18 on Mediaite’s 2023 “Most Influential in News Media” list. Shapiro and Boreing eclipsed big names in media‚ such as Piers Morgan‚ Fox News “Fox &; Friends” team‚ Joe Rogan‚ Tucker Carlson‚ and Anderson Cooper. “Less than a decade into its existence‚ Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing’s Daily Wire has become one of the most influential media organizations in the country. Period‚” Mediaite said of the duo. “With Shapiro as the face of the Daily Wire and Boreing as the man behind the curtain‚ it has by sheer force of will made itself ubiquitous.” “The Daily Wire isn’t just one of the most popular outlets on Facebook‚ it’s also built a massive audience on YouTube and beyond‚” the blurb continued. “The true tell of the pair’s growing influence is the fact that the Daily Wire is no longer fighting for its slice of the pie within conservative media‚ but doling out slices of its own to its various high-profile personalities.” Boreing has led the way in expanding The Daily Wire’s reach in entertainment ventures. Already this year‚ The Daily Wire launched Bentkey‚ a kids entertainment company‚ following an announcement of a $100 million investment. Take a look at all Bentkey has to offer: pic.twitter.com/f23Imva5ZA — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) October 16‚ 2023 In October‚ The Daily Wire announced that it’s creating its own live-action adaptation of the “Snow White” fairytale‚ “Snow White and the Evil Queen‚” starring actress and Daily Wire host Brett Cooper. A teaser clip for the film‚ which is set for release in 2024‚ was posted to social media as Disney battles tumultuous times with its “Snow White” film‚ starring radical feminist actress Rachel Zegler‚ who publicly disparaged the classic story. Announcing Bentkey's first live-action feature film: Snow White and the Evil Queen starring @imbrettcooper pic.twitter.com/HpYoskemAG — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) October 16‚ 2023 In a quick release‚ The Daily Wire also dropped a comedy about a down-and-out basketball coach (played by Boreing) who would do anything to win — including getting his old guys team to play against ladies‚ in “Lady Ballers.” The film dropped to rave reviews from viewers‚ though most mainstream critics tried to ignore the popular comedy. Also in production from The Daily Wire is The Pendragon Cycle‚ which is currently being shot in Europe. Shapiro‚ for his part‚ continues to be one of the most influential and popular media figures. Following the horrific attacks from terror group Hamas on 10/7‚ Shapiro quickly became a leading voice on the issue. The Daily Wire news team‚ under both Shapiro and Boreing‚ continue to break consequential news stories‚ from immigration‚ to public school scandal‚ to foreign affairs. Moreover‚ The Daily Wire has been behind numerous lawsuits against the federal government‚ including a COVID vaccine mandate and apparent government censorship of Right-leaning media‚ including The Daily Wire. Mediaite rounded out its list with Bill Maher‚ Matt Drudge‚ Megyn Kelly‚ the MSNBC “Morning Joe” squad‚ and Sean Hannity. In the very top spot is the “Dominion Voting Systems.” Mediaite said that the defamation lawsuit against Fox News “towered over the others” in media. “In the end‚ a voting technology company slayed and humbled an American media titan‚” the media outlet said.
