Former President Bill Clinton had a harsh — and definitely Not Suitable For Work (NSFW) — assessment of his wife’s failed 2016 presidential campaign‚ saying‚ according to a new book from author Ryan Grim‚ that her campaign “could not sell p***y on a troop train.” According to Grim’s book‚ “The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution‚” former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mistake was in leaning too hard on identity politics — which he argued was an attempt to damage her main primary opponent‚ Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) by claiming that he was “sexist‚” among other things. “To the extent that the campaign tactic moved the needle at all‚ it likely pushed moderate voters paying only marginal attention to the campaign towards Sanders‚ who spoke like a normal person while Clinton began ascending into what her ally James Carville would later call‚ ‘faculty lounge speak‚'” Grim wrote. Carville‚ a longtime Democratic strategist‚ later raised his concern on that point several times‚ arguing that the average American voter was likely to be turned off by people using language that they didn’t understand. “They come up with a word like ‘Latinx’ that no one else uses. Or they use a phrase like ‘communities of color.’ I don’t know anyone who speaks like that. I don’t know anyone who lives in a ‘community of color.’ I know lots of white and black and brown people and they all live in … neighborhoods‚” Carville explained in 2021. “This is not how people talk. This is not how voters talk. And doing it anyway is a signal that you’re talking one language and the people you want to vote for you are speaking another language.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP But Bill Clinton put his beef in much starker terms‚ according to Grim’s book. “Former President Bill Clinton‚ surveying the landscape and the ham-handed efforts at identity politics was bereft‚ lamenting to a longtime friend in the fall of 2016 that Hillary’s campaign ‘could not sell p***y on a troop train‚'” he wrote.

Candace Cameron Bure dismissed attempts last year to “cancel” her over her comments about traditional marriage and said she sees it as a test of her faith‚ as she quoted a Bible verse which deals with seeing test of trials as a blessing. During the 47-year-old actress’ latest episode on the “Candace Cameron Bure Podcast‚” the “Full House” star talked about the backlash she faced in 2022 after she voiced her Christian and conservative views. (7:07) “When I had a lot of these ‘bullets’ kind of hit me in the last year or so‚ they’ve been a really big challenge to me personally‚ to my heart‚ to my character‚ to my relationships‚ to my jobs‚  Bure said. “I remember being so upset over it‚ because it’s like how do you recover?” “I’ll just say it‚ Cancel Culture is very real‚” she added. “And they were trying to cancel me.” Bure said her brother‚ actor Kirk Cameron‚ called her up at the time and welcomed her into the James 1 club. It was then that Bure looked up the verse and found a message about overcoming struggles‚ which she said was comforting. “Consider it pure joy‚ my brothers and sisters‚ whenever you face trials of many kinds‚ because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance‚ let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete‚ lacking nothing‚” Bure read the quote. “…But blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because having stood the test‚ that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” In 2022‚ the “Fuller House” star faced a backlash and was accused of “bigotry” and of “selling out” after she voiced her opinion about traditional marriage when asked about leaving Hallmark for the Great American Family network. In the Wall Street Journal interview‚ Bure said that GAF storylines would “keep traditional marriage at the core.” Her departure from the network came after Hallmark’s programming and advertising started involving LGBTQ-themed stories. Bure develops‚ produces and stars in movies on GAF. Immediately following the media attention from her comments‚ Bure shared a lengthy statement addressing the backlash‚ saying that she had never intended to hurt anyone and that the media’s apparent need to divide people was only continuing to feed the current “toxic climate.” “We need Christmas more than ever‚” she said.

A Detroit man has been charged in connection to the fatal stabbing of synagogue leader Samantha Woll in October‚ officials announced on Wednesday. Michael Manuel Jackson Bolanos‚ 28‚ faces offenses for homicide-felony murder and home invasion‚ Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said during a press conference. He was also charged for lying to an officer investigating larcenies or attempted thefts from motor vehicles on the day of Woll’s death‚ she added. The charges come after police announced the arrest of a person of interest on Sunday‚ roughly two months after the killing. Worthy said Bolanos was appearing for an arraignment as she spoke. She emphasized that certain details would come out in court‚ including when a reporter asked if Bolanos acted alone. Woll‚ the 40-year-old president of Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue‚ was found stabbed outside her home on the morning of October 21 and pronounced dead at the scene‚ according to authorities. She was killed at a time of increased concerns for the safety of Jewish people in the United States and abroad as Israel went to war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip after the group launched terrorist attacks on Israeli soil on October 7.

As reported by the Detroit Free Press‚ police previously said Woll attended a wedding the night before she was slain‚ and there were no signs of forced entry at her home. Authorities also shared how officers observed a “trail of blood leading officers to the victim’s residence” in the Lafayette Park neighborhood where they believed the crime took place. Detroit police had taken a man from Kalamazoo‚ Michigan — roughly 140 miles away from Detroit — into custody and released him shortly afterward last month. Worthy indicated on Wednesday that the investigation ultimately determined that this person was not a “suspect” in the Woll case. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP During the press conference on Wednesday‚ Detroit Police Chief James White lauded investigators for “painstakingly going through just tons of evidence” in a case that involved state and federal partners. White said the defendant was already on the “radar” of authorities in connection to the car theft probe a few weeks ago and had even been in custody‚ but had to be released due to a lack of evidence to submit to prosecutors. The Michigan Department of Corrections shows Bolanos has a rap sheet for prior offenses that includes a conviction for receiving and concealing stolen property in 2014 and a sentence of five years in a state prison‚ according to The Detroit News. Woll‚ who became a leader of the Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue in 2022‚ had done work for high-powered Democrat officials from Michigan over the years and advocated for Jewish-Muslim solidarity. Her funeral reportedly drew hundreds of people from different faiths‚ races‚ and nationalities. Dr. Monica Woll Rosen‚ the late Woll’s sister‚ said her late sibling was the “kindest‚ most generous human I’ve ever met” and “so deeply wanted peace for this world.”

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo struggled to keep it together during a segment on his show this week where he interviewed a social media influencer who has Tourette’s syndrome. During his show on Tuesday‚ Cuomo interviewed 20-year-old Baylen Dupree‚ who has amassed an audience of 9 million followers on TikTok‚ which she uses to educate people about the neurological disorder. “I’m not going to censor her. Yeah‚ she’s going to say some things that you would not want to say yourself‚ let alone have said to you‚ which is probably going to be my position‚” he said. “But as I told Baylen just moments ago‚ she’s not going to say anything to me that my whole team hasn’t wanted to say since the day that they met me. But I love the bravery and I love that we can get through the stigma and just treat somebody with decency because we all deserve it.” During various moments throughout the interview‚ Dupree would have moments where her Tourette’s syndrome took over. “I want people to learn that Tourette’s is a neurological‚ involuntary motor and vocal disorder‚” she said. “F*** off. F*** off. F*** off. I don’t tic 24/7‚ and there’s a lot of… Little baby weiners. F*** off. F*** you‚ Chris. There’s a lot of things that people don’t understand. Like‚ people think that cussing is with everyone who has Tourette syndrome‚ but it’s only in 10 percent of people with Tourette’s.” During another moment‚ Dupree said: “I also get very evil people that would comment and say like — go f*** yourself‚ Chris. Little baby weiners. [inaudible] up your ass. Butter your own biscuit‚ fat a**.

The GOP-led House passed a resolution on Wednesday condemning anti-Semitism and the controversial testimony of three college presidents on the topic. A final tally showed 303 members voting in support of the bipartisan measure‚ 126 members voting against it‚ and three lawmakers voting “present.” Two others did not vote. All the members who opposed the measure were Democrats except for Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY)‚ who introduced the resolution with Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)‚ cheered the measure’s passage by heralding it as a “historic bipartisan effort to stand for moral truth.” The resolution called out Harvard University President Claudine Gay‚ MIT University President Sally Kornbluth‚ and now-former University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill. Each president dodged on the question of whether calling for the genocide of Jews on campuses violated their schools’ policies on bullying and harassment during a hearing last week held by the Committee on Education &; the Workforce. As stated in the resolution‚ Gay insisted that it “depends on the context”; Kornbluth said it would only constitute harassment if it were “targeted at individuals”; and Magill stated‚ “It is a context-dependent decision.” “The world is watching as Members from both sides of the aisle stand resolutely with the Jewish people to condemn antisemitism on university campuses and the morally bankrupt testimony of the Harvard‚ MIT‚ and Penn university presidents during last week’s House Committee on Education and the Workforce hearing‚” Stefanik added in a post to X. “It is disappointing and revealing that 128 Democrats chose to vote against condemning antisemitism on college campuses and the pathetic and abhorrent testimony of the university presidents.” After last week’s hearing‚ the presidents faced intense backlash and started issuing statements attempting to clarify their positions. Magill resigned over the weekend under pressure from the board of Penn’s Wharton business school and Stefanik’s resolution suggested the others should “follow suit.”  So far‚ Harvard and MIT are sticking behind Gay and Kornbluth. Some of the opponents of the resolution took issue with what they suggested was a double-standard on decrying anti-Semitism within the GOP and calls for the ouster of the remaining university presidents. Bemoaning what he called a “gross overreach‚” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said‚ “Congress should not meddle in the hiring and firing of college presidents.” Though the vote on the resolution is done‚ lawmakers have indicated they are not ready to let the issue go. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC)‚ chairwoman of the House Committee on Education &; the Workforce‚ recently announced an investigation into Harvard‚ MIT‚ and UPenn over “rampant anti-Semitism displayed on their campuses.”
