Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro was sentenced Thursday to four months in prison after he was convicted in September of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to testify and provide documents to the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Speaker Mike Johnson’s “dear friend” and longtime pastor has quite the story about his flock turning on him.
The ex-president continued to whine over his rival’s presence in the GOP primaries.
It might be tempting to dismiss a self-published book by an anti-abortion activist who’s been accused of preaching violence, but it’s been praised by then-Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin and a Republican state lawmaker in Alabama who gave author-signed copies to his colleagues. Michael Flynn, Donald Trump’s disgraced National Security Advisor who helped plot the efforts to overturn the 2020 election and now leads the election-denying Trumpian carnival known as the ReAwaken America Tour, called Trewhella’s book “a masterful blueprint showing Americans how to successfully resist tyranny.”
It’s commonplace for partisans to claim that the other side doesn’t really want to solve a particular problem (racism, abortion, etc.) because they don’t want it to go away as a base-mobilizing issue. Very seldom, however, does the opposition actually confirm that.
“You can say that now. It’s okay. You can say that now.”
