Battleground state face-off: Harris, Trump hold dueling rallies miles apart

Battleground state face-off: Harris, Trump hold dueling rallies miles apart




MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump held competing rallies at the same Friday night, just a few miles apart in battleground Wisconsin’s largest city.With just four days until Election Day, the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees made their final stops in Wisconsin, where nearly all the latest public opinion polls indicate a margin-of-error race between the two candidates.”We got four days to get this thing done. Four days. No one can sit on the sidelines,” the vice president emphasized to her supporters. “For you who have not yet voted, no judgment, but please get to it when you can.”In order to carry Wisconsin, Harris needs to run up the score in Milwaukee and its surrounding suburbs in order to make up for the expected red-wave in the state’s rural counties.NOVEMBER SURPRISE: DISMAL JOBS REPORT HANDS TRUMP INSTANT AMMUNITION TO FIRE AT HARRISThe Harris campaign said that over 12,000 packed into the Wisconsin State Fair Park Exposition Center, in West Allis, just yards outside the Milwaukee city limits.Trump, holding court at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum – the same arena where he accepted his party’s presidential nomination during the Republican National Convention in July – told his supporters “I want your damn vote.”VICE PRESIDENT KEEPS HER DISTANCE FROM BIDEN IN FINAL STRETCH TO ELECTION DAYSpeaking ahead of Harris at her rally was popular rapper and songwriter Cardi B, who told the crowd she hadn’t planned on voting in the presidential election until Harris replaced President Biden in July atop the Democrats’ 2024 ticket.”I wasn’t going to vote this year. … But Kamala Harris joining the race, she changed my mind completely,” the entertainer said.The rallies were Harris and Trump’s final appearances in Wisconsin ahead of Election Day – and it was the second time this week that the major party nominees held rallies on the same day in Wisconsin.”As of this weekend, the way to predict the winner is to flip a coin. It’s that close,” University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor emeritus Mordecai Lee told Fox News.CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS IN THE 2024 ELECTIONThe Democratic and Republican Parties’ vice presidential nominees — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, respectively — have also both crisscrossed Wisconsin, and major surrogates — including former Presidents Obama and Clinton for Harris — have parachuted into the Badger State. Obama returns on Sunday.Both campaigns and their aligned committees and super PACs have also flooded Wisconsin airwaves with TV ads in the closing stretch leading up to Election Day next week.Wisconsin, along with Michigan and Pennsylvania, are the three Rust Belt states that make up the Democrats’ so-called “blue wall.”Democrats reliably won all three states for a quarter-century before Trump narrowly captured them in the 2016 election over Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton to win the White House.Four years later, in 2020, President Biden swept all three states by razor-thin margins to put them back in the Democrats’ column and defeat Trump. In Wisconsin, Biden carried the state by just over 20,000 votes out of more than 3.2 million cast.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

SEAN HANNITY: Another day, another desperate hoax from the Harris campaign and their allies

SEAN HANNITY: Another day, another desperate hoax from the Harris campaign and their allies




Fox News host Sean Hannity debunks the left’s lies as the Harris campaign and the media claim former President Trump called for Liz Cheney to be shot and killed. SEAN HANNITY: Another day, another desperate hoax from the Harris campaign and their allies in the state-run media mob. They know of no shame. If you watch fake news CNN, MSNBC and read the headlines on Google or any other wing of the state-run media mob, you might think that Donald Trump called for Liz Cheney to be shot and killed. It’s not true.For example, here’s the awful AP quote: “Harris assails Trump for saying Liz Cheney should have rifles shooting at her.” It is not only misleading, it is completely false. And yet another outright lie, a big lie, designed to smear, slander, besmirch Donald Trump. EVEN LIBERALS, TRUMP CRITICS BLAST MEDIA’S COVERAGE OF HIS LIZ CHENEY COMMENTS: ‘A BALD-FACED LIE’ …Kamala Harris’ campaign surrogates, the state-run media mob – they have zero fidelity to truth. Instead, they have an unyielding rage for Trump. They have contempt and hatred for his supporters and have nothing but contempt for the American people. And right now, they are proving they will do and say anything to cling on to power with zero fidelity to truth at this point. One huge, big lie after another.

Harris campaign targets different messages about Israel-Hamas war to Jewish, Arab-American voters

Harris campaign targets different messages about Israel-Hamas war to Jewish, Arab-American voters




The Harris campaign is reportedly launching ads targeting Jewish and Arab-American voters with different messages regarding the ongoing war in the Middle East. A report from CNN on Friday put a spotlight on Facebook ads from Vice President Kamala Harris last month appealing to Jewish voters in Pennsylvania. “And let me be clear- I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself,” Harris says in the Facebook ad, which had been taken from her DNC convention speech. “And I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7, including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.”GAZA PROTESTERS PLAGUE HARRIS RALLIES: ‘WISH I COULD VOTE FOR U’After an edit, Harris adds, “And know this: I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.”  But, as CNN noted, the ad removed portions of Harris’ speech acknowledging the “heartbreaking” “suffering” that has taken place in Gaza.Meanwhile, the Harris campaign launched a separate ad, this one aimed at Arab-Americans in Michigan, expressing solidarity with civilians in Gaza.”What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating,” Harris says in the ad. “We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering and I will not be silent.”In another speech featured in the same ad,” Harris says, “Our common humanity compels us to act.” The video itself is captioned as “VP Harris has been working to end the suffering in Gaza.”The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.PROTESTERS INTERRUPT KAMALA HARRIS’ MICHIGAN RALLY: ‘NO MORE GAZA WAR!’There has been a lot of attention in Michigan where Arab-Americans have expressed outrage over the Biden administration’s handling of the Middle East and have threatened to withhold their support for the Democratic ticket. Meanwhile, former President Trump is hoping to make inroads with that key voting bloc, recently making a campaign stop in the highly Muslim-populated Michigan city of Dearborn. Both campaigns are also vying to win over the significant Jewish population in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

Trump clarifies he meant Cheney wouldn’t have ‘guts’ to fight a war with rifle comment after Dem backlash

Trump clarifies he meant Cheney wouldn’t have ‘guts’ to fight a war with rifle comment after Dem backlash




Former President Trump on Friday clarified that he meant former Rep. Liz Cheney doesn’t have the “guts” to fight on the front lines of war after he received a backlash from Democrats over comments he made Thursday about having guns trained on her. “All I’m saying about Liz Cheney is that she is a War Hawk, and a dumb one at that, but she wouldn’t have ‘the guts’ to fight herself,” the Republican presidential nominee wrote on Truth Social. “It’s easy for her to talk, sitting far from where the death scenes take place, but put a gun in her hand, and let her go fight, and she’ll say, ‘No thanks!’ Her father decimated the Middle East, and other places, and got rich by doing so. He’s caused plenty of DEATH, and probably never even gave it a thought. That’s not what we want running our Country!”Trump caused controversy when he called Cheney a “radical war hawk” at an event in Arizona on Thursday, adding, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face. They’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, well, let’s send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemies,’ but she’s a stupid person and I used to have meetings with a lot of people and she always wanted to go to war with people.” Trump also told reporters at a campaign stop in Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday: “Even in my administration, she was pushing that we go to war with everybody, and I said if you ever gave her a rifle and let her do the fighting, if you ever do that, she wouldn’t be doing too well, I will tell you right now. But she’s a war hawk. She wants to go kill people unnecessarily. HARRIS SAYS TRUMP’S RIFLE COMMENTS ABOUT LIZ CHENEY ARE ‘DISQUALIFYING’The remarks prompted accusations from liberals of violent rhetoric and that Trump was suggesting Cheney should face a firing squad. “He has increased his violent rhetoric about political opponents – Donald Trump has – and in great detail suggested rifles should be trained on former Rep. Liz Cheney,” Vice President Harris told reporters in a presser Friday. “This must be disqualifying. Anyone who wants to be President of the United States who uses that kind of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president.”TRUMP CRITICISM OF LIZ CHENEY AS ‘RADICAL WAR HAWK’ FRAMED AS CALL FOR VIOLENCE BY ‘IRRESPONSIBLE’ MEDIACheney, a Republican, endorsed Harris for president in September and has been campaigning with the Democratic nominee. Cheney responded to Trump’s Thursday remarks on X Friday, writing, “This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.” She added the hashtags “#Womenwillnotbesilenced” and “#VoteKamala.”CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPRepublicans have also accused Democrats of increasing the possibility of violence against Trump with rhetoric accusing him of being “fascist” and a “threat to democracy.”The former president was shot by a would-be assassin in July and was targeted by another suspect near his home in Florida.

Even liberals, Trump critics blast media’s coverage of Liz Cheney comments: ‘A bald-faced lie’

Even liberals, Trump critics blast media's coverage of Liz Cheney comments: 'A bald-faced lie'




The backlash the legacy media is facing over its coverage of former President Trump’s recent comments about former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is going far beyond his supporters. At an event in Glendale, Arizona, Trump took a swipe at Cheney, who has been campaigning in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, for being a “radical war hawk.””I don’t blame [former Vice President Dick Cheney] for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual. Very dumb, she’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face,” Trump said. “You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in the nice buildings saying ‘Oh gee well, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.”TRUMP CRITICISM OF LIZ CHENEY AS ‘RADICAL WAR HAWK’ FRAMED AS CALL FOR VIOLENCE BY ‘IRRESPONSIBLE’ MEDIASeveral news organizations twisted Trump’s comments to suggest he was calling for Cheney’s “execution.” The New York Times ran the headline “Trump attacks Liz Cheney using violent war imagery.” The Washington Post published “Trump suggests ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney should have guns ‘trained to her face.’” CNN’s headline went even further, reading “Trump says ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney should be fired upon in escalation of violent rhetoric against his opponents.”The Drudge Report went viral with its top of the page headline in bold red caps, “TRUMP CALLS FOR CHENEY’S EXECUTION.” FROM COVINGTON CATHOLIC TO BORDER WHIPS, LIBERAL MEDIA HAS RECENT HISTORY OF PEDDLING ‘CHEAP FAKES’The sensational coverage happened on-air as well. “Former President Donald Trump is escalating his violent rhetoric, suggesting one of his most prominent critics, the former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, should be fired upon,” CNN anchor Kasie Hunt told viewers.Hunt’s CNN colleague Jim Acosta grilled Rep Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., over Trump’s comments, saying, “When he says nine barrels shooting at her, that obviously evokes images of a firing squad. It evokes images of an execution, does it not?”MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire called it “the latest escalation of really dangerous, violent rhetoric,” while former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told “The View” co-hosts it “absolutely” was a threat to Cheney. Not everyone is buying the narrative, however. And not just Trump’s defenders. Critics of the former president across the political spectrum are calling out the media’s coverage. “Trump did NOT call for Liz Cheney to be executed,” former GOP congressman and anti-Trump critic Joe Walsh reacted on X. “Look, you know how I feel about Trump, and I’ve been out there every day for 2-3 months campaigning my ass off to help get @KamalaHarris elected, but this short clip is so deceptive. Trump is NOT calling for Liz Cheney to be executed in front of a firing line. He’s not. Listen to the entirety of what he said.””He’s an utterly horrible human being who’s utterly unfit for office, but the truth should always matter. And the truth is that Trump is not calling for Liz Cheney to be executed,” Walsh added. LIZ CHENEY BASHES TRUMP IN NEW KEY BATTLEGROUND HARRIS AD AS ELECTION HITS FINAL SPRINT”Donald Trump did not call for the execution of Liz Cheney. That is a bald-faced lie,” The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur wrote. “He was making a point about how she is a chickenhawk. But also, Trump shouldn’t talk about guns being ‘trained on her face,’ especially in a time where we’re worried about political violence.””This is a classic case of Trump saying something outrageous and the press bailing him out by being purposely misleading. You didn’t have to lie about it for the comment to be totally irresponsible. And when you do, you lose all credibility and no one believes anything you say,” Uygur continued. TV EXECUTIVE PANICS THAT TRUMP WINNING MEANS PRESS HAS NO INFLUENCE: ‘MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS DEAD’”I don’t support Donald Trump but I also don’t support journalists lying to their audiences, and when he says (paraphrased) ‘these pro-war people wouldn’t be talking such a big game if they were on the front lines’ it is actually not the same thing as saying they should be shot,” The Free Press columnist Kat Rosenfield said.”Folks, Trump didn’t threaten to execute Liz Cheney,” Vox correspondent Zack Beauchamp said. “He actually was calling her a chickenhawk, something liberals said about her for ages. Look at the context — Trump is talking about giving her a weapon. Typically, people put in front of firing squads aren’t armed.BIDEN’S ‘GARBAGE’ SHOT AT TRUMP SUPPORTERS DOWNPLAYED, DISMISSED, SPUN BY MEDIA: ‘COMES DOWN TO AN APOSTROPHE’Political scientist Ian Bremmer blasted the Drudge Report’s headline, saying, “this is extraordinary irresponsibility, made worse only by the fact that it’s increasingly common across the political spectrum in the United States.”The Trump ‘bloodbath’ comment and his latest on Liz Cheney have both been exaggerated and taken out of context all while the press imagines apostrophes to excuse Joe Biden. This is why trust in the press is collapsing and why Trump is on the verge of winning,” conservative radio host Erick Erickson pointed out.”The corporate media has completely given up on even pretending to maintain a tiny pretense of non-partisan neutrality,” journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote. “Compare this WashPost ‘news article’ about what Trump said to what he actually said. This is why, as Bezos told them, nobody trusts them: deservedly so.”

Opponents of antisemitism on campus frustrated by Schumer’s failure to move on legislation: ‘Stunning’

Opponents of antisemitism on campus frustrated by Schumer's failure to move on legislation: 'Stunning'




Pro-Israel leaders and activists are expressing frustration and disappointment that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has yet to plan a vote on a bill aimed at tackling the rising tide of antisemitism on college campuses.Many fear the delay could lead to the bill getting “watered down” – or potentially getting derailed altogether. “This is a very good bill. It’s a very important bill. It comes at a very, very urgent time in terms of the dynamics of our country, and it should be passed, and it should be passed and signed into law right away. I mean, the sooner the better,” said Elan Carr, CEO of the Israeli-American Council and former U.S. special envoy to combat antisemitism.”There’s deep disappointment that this has been slow-rolled,” Rabbi Abrahm Cooper, former chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and director at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, added. “I think, in many ways, taking that tactic only highlights the fact that there are obviously elements of the Democratic Party that are anti-Israel.”Carr echoed Cooper’s suggestion that the delay could likely be due to concerns that “this bill could reveal fissures that would be embarrassing for some.” CNN’S JENNINGS CALLS OUT STUDENT ‘HITLERS,’ ANTISEMITISM ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES: ‘OPEN YOUR EYES’The bill in question is the Antisemitism Awareness Act, passed in bipartisan fashion on May 1. It seeks to mandate that the Department of Education adopt the same definition of “antisemitism” used by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), an intergovernmental organization aimed at uniting governments and experts to advance and promote Holocaust education. Under the bill, the IHRA definition would become standard for use in Title VI cases brought forward by the Department of Education.Schumer has promised to put the Antisemitism Awareness Act up for a vote before the end of the year, according to Axios, which reported that he wants to attach the measure to the must-pass defense bill that will be voted on during Congress’ lame-duck session following the election. The move would pressure any potential dissenters to get on board with it.According to Jewish Insider, Republican Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin have opposed the bill on grounds it limits free speech, while the New York Times reported Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah has also voiced his own objections.A spokesman for Schumer indicated the majority leader’s strategy was to attach the bill to another measure senators would feel compelled to vote for.”Senator Schumer has a long and strong history fighting antisemitism, and the goal with passing antisemitism legislation has long been to use a viable, must-pass vehicle to accomplish that. We fully intend to get it done before the end of the year,” said Schumer Communications Director Angelo Roefaro.The American Jewish Committee’s Director of Policy and Political Affairs, Julie Rayman, pointed to Schumer’s “earnest commitment to passing impactful legislation to counter antisemitism in the Senate.” But other proponents of getting the bill passed, such as Carr, expressed fear that Schumer’s decision to delay the vote until the lame-duck session – which starts after the November election – might jeopardize the bill’s prospects of being passed. FOX NEWS ‘ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED’ NEWSLETTER: JEWISH STUDENTS FEEL TARGETED AS COLLEGE RESUMES”One thing I don’t want to see happen is that this thing will be amended in ways that will make it actually more harmful than not doing anything at all,” Carr said. “My concern is it could get watered down, and the final product could do damage to the very causes that this bill is supposed to advance.” Carr pointed to a similar situation that happened in Indiana’s state legislature, where a bill that passed by both chambers was ultimately vetoed by the governor because it failed to incorporate the entire IHRA definition of antisemitism. “Senator Schumer’s choice to delay a vote on the Antisemitism Awareness Act by attaching it to unrelated legislation is disappointing, risking unnecessary setbacks,” said Florida GOP Rep. Carlos Giménez. Giménez voted in favor of the Antisemitism Awareness Act earlier this year and introduced different legislation targeting hatred towards the Jewish community. “I urge Senator Schumer to act now—protecting students from antisemitism must be a straightforward, bipartisan commitment that doesn’t get sidelined by political calculations.”FOX NEWS ‘ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED’ NEWSLETTER: CHICAGO’S JEWISH COMMUNITY SHAKEN BY SHOOTING    Gerard Filitti is senior counsel with the Lawfare Project, a nonprofit which provides pro bono legal assistance to protect the civil rights of the Jewish community. He argued that in light of the Education and Workforce Committee’s report chronicling Schumer’s laissez-faire attitude towards campus antisemitism, there is “a very real concern” that Schumer might not ever bring the Antisemitism Awareness Act to the floor for a vote at all.”Senator Schumer’s lack of leadership on one of the most pressing civil rights issues in our country is stunning,” argued Filitti. “Schumer has had six whole months to bring this bill up for a vote, and his failure to do so is not just puzzling but rather troubling; antisemitism is not, and should not be made, a partisan political issue. As with other forms of racism and bigotry, it takes bipartisanship to combat Jew-hatred, and in light of the ongoing crisis of antisemitism we see on college campuses, this bill should have passed the Senate months ago.”

Harris says Trump’s rifle comments about Liz Cheney are ‘disqualifying’

Harris says Trump’s rifle comments about Liz Cheney are ‘disqualifying’




Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday called former President Trump’s rifle remarks about Liz Cheney “disqualifying,” accusing him of increasing his “violent rhetoric.””He has increased his violent rhetoric about political opponents – Donald Trump has – and in great detail suggested rifles should be trained on former Rep. Liz Cheney,” Harris told reporters at a presser after getting off Air Force Two in Wisconsin. “This must be disqualifying. Anyone who wants to be President of the United States who uses that kind of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president.”She called Cheney, who has endorsed Harris and has been campaigning with her, a “true patriot who has shown extraordinary courage in putting country above party. Trump is increasingly, however, someone who considers his political opponents the enemy, is permanently out for revenge and is increasingly unstable and unhinged.” In calling Cheney a “radical war hawk” at an event in Arizona on Thursday, Trump said: “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face. They’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, well, let’s send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemies,’ but she’s a stupid person and I used to have meetings with a lot of people and she always wanted to go to war with people.” TRUMP CRITICISM OF LIZ CHENEY AS ‘RADICAL WAR HAWK’ FRAMED AS CALL FOR VIOLENCE BY ‘IRRESPONSIBLE’ MEDIATrump’s comments immediately drew a backlash on the left, with some clips online not playing the full context of what he was saying. Harris told a reporter who asked if she was concerned about Cheney’s safety that she hadn’t talked to the former Wyoming congresswoman since Trump’s comment was made, “but I know Liz Cheney well enough to know she is tough, she is courageous and has shown herself to be a true patriot at a very difficult time in our country where, to your point, we see this kind of rhetoric that is violent in nature, where we see this kind of spirit coming through with Donald Trump that is so ladened with the desire for revenge and retribution.” LIZ CHENEY BASHES TRUMP IN NEW KEY BATTLEGROUND HARRIS AD AS ELECTION HITS FINAL SPRINTShe added it’s important to make sure “we are fighting against and speaking out against political violence.” Trump clarified his Cheney comments on Truth Social on Wednesday afternoon, writing, “All I’m saying about Liz Cheney is that she is a War Hawk, and a dumb one at that, but she wouldn’t have ‘the guts’ to fight herself. It’s easy for her to talk, sitting far from where the death scenes take place, but put a gun in her hand, and let her go fight, and she’ll say, ‘No thanks!’ Her father decimated the Middle East, and other places, and got rich by doing so. He’s caused plenty of DEATH, and probably never even gave it a thought. That’s not what we want running our Country!”Cheney reposted a clip on X of Trump’s remarks about her that didn’t include the part about him accusing Cheney and others all being war hawks, writing, “This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.”She included the hastages “#Womenwillnotbesilenced” and “VoteKamala.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPRepublicans have also accused Democrats of increasing the possibility of violence against Trump with rhetoric claiming he’s “fascist” and a “threat to democracy.”Trump was shot by a would-be assassin in July and was later targeted by another suspect near his home in Florida.

Unearthed letter reveals Walz boasted about Minnesota hosting ‘numerous senior Chinese leaders’

Unearthed letter reveals Walz boasted about Minnesota hosting 'numerous senior Chinese leaders'




Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, boasted about Minnesota hosting several top Chinese leaders in a letter unearthed by Fox News Digital.The Minnesota International Chinese School showcased a 2021 letter from Walz on its YouTube channel celebrating the 10th anniversary of the school’s Chinese New Year.”Minnesota has a longstanding relationship with the people of China,” Walz said in the letter. “The state has promoted Minnesota’s connections with China and has hosted numerous senior Chinese leaders for decades. Thousands of Minnesotans claim ancestral connections to China, which has helped foster numerous ties between Minnesota and China.””These ties are rapidly expanding through the growth of education, trade, and investment opportunities between our two peoples,” he added before congratulating the school on a “very important milestone” and “teaching our language learners and future leaders the importance of speaking multiple languages and of being global citizens.”HARRIS VP PICK SPENT YEARS PROMOTING RESEARCH FACILITY THAT COLLABORATED WITH ‘CHINESE MILITARY COMPANY’The letter came within 10 days of Zhao Jian, the Consul General of China in Chicago, recording a four-minute greeting in Chinese for the school, according to the school’s YouTube channel. Walz’s connection to Jian has been under scrutiny in recent weeks after the House Oversight Committee unearthed a meeting between Walz and Jian earlier this year discussing “China-U.S. relations and sub-national cooperation.”While the specifics of the meeting aren’t clear, a 2022 report from the Biden administration’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI) highlighted how U.S.-based Chinese consulates like the one Walz met with “play an active role” in “foreign influence operations” on behalf of the CCP. DHS EMPLOYEE WARNED COLLEAGUES THAT WALZ’S NOMINATION ‘FEEDS INTO’ CHINA’S EFFORTS TO INFLUENCE DCWalz’s decades-long ties to China have come back to haunt him since Vice President Harris picked him to join her Democratic ticket as the vice presidential nominee. He worked briefly in China as a teacher, traveling to Guangdong in 1989 for a teaching-abroad program to teach English and American history. Walz was initially believed to have made dozens of trips to China over his lifetime, but a campaign spokesperson would later try to walk that number back and say he made approximately 15 visits to China, which included his honeymoon in 1994. “I’ve lived in China and, as I’ve said, I’ve been there about 30 times. . . . I don’t fall into the category that China necessarily needs to be an adversarial relationship. I totally disagree, and I think we need to stand firm on what they’re doing in the South China Sea, but there’s many areas of cooperation we can work on,” Walz previously said in an interview with Agri-Pulse Communications.He also came to the defense of the Chinese Communist system, saying during a 1991 school lesson that it “means that everyone is the same, and everyone shares.” “The doctor and the construction worker make the same,” he continued, according to the Washington Free Beacon. “The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing.”Walz was also quoted by a local outlet in 1990 reflecting on his visits to China, saying, “No matter how long I live, I will never be treated that well again. . . . They gave me more gifts than I could bring home. It was an excellent experience,” Walz said, adding that he had been “treated exceptionally well.”Fox News Digital recently reported that a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official sounded the alarm with colleagues about how Harris’ decision to pick Walz for the presidential ticket “feeds into” activities the People’s Republic of China (PRC) were conducting “with him and local government,” warning that Beijing could “target” him to exert influence on U.S. policy. “Walt’s [sic] got the Vp,” reads the message, with the identity of the sender redacted. “You all have no idea how this feeds into what prc has been doing here with him and local gov.”The official added, “It’s seriously a line of the intel. Target someone who is perceived they can get to DC.” House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer wrote in a letter to Mayorkas on Tuesday that the Committee is “releasing the above message as an example of communications within DHS’s possession in which DHS officials express concern about the CCP targeting politicians and their influence operations at the state and local levels — and specifically, concerns about the CCP’s influence operations as they related to Governor Walz.”Walz has also faced scrutiny for his ties to a Minnesota-based medical research institute with a long track record of collaborating with a firm labeled by the Pentagon as a “Chinese military company” and with Chinese officials with controversial ties to the CCP.In 2014, Walz welcomed a delegation from China to the institute that included Wang Yanling, the vice governor of Henan Province and a Communist Party doctor. Yanling is listed as holding several positions in the Chinese Communist Party over the course of many decades.Several members of the Chinese Communist Party have sat on the board of directors at the Henan Cancer Institute, according to an archived version of the organization’s website.Fox News Digital reached out to Harris-Walz campaign.Fox News’ Brooke Singman and Adam Shaw contributed to this report.

Ted Cruz knocks McConnell-aligned super PAC for ‘zero support’ in competitive race

Ted Cruz knocks McConnell-aligned super PAC for 'zero support' in competitive race




Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, reiterated his criticism of a group linked to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., at a recent rally, saying it has not assisted him in his competitive Senate race this cycle. “We are getting absolutely zero support from the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF),” the Republican said. Cruz is taking on Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, in the tight race for Senate. Despite the legitimate challenge posed by Allred, Cruz is favored to win the contest. REPUBLICANS CALL ON MAYORKAS TO REINSTATE COVID-ERA BORDER POLICY AMID TUBERCULOSIS ‘SURGE’SLF has notably spent most of its resources in states with key Republican Senate pick-up opportunities, such as Pennsylvania, Montana, Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan. But Cruz pointed out, “In Texas, we have the most expensive Senate race in the entire country.”As the senator noted, the Cruz and Allred campaigns have raised more money than the candidates in any other Senate race, with the two of them raking in a combined $165 million, according to the Houston Chronicle. HARRIS SLAMS ‘OFFENSIVE’ TRUMP REMARK ON PROTECTING WOMEN FROM MIGRANT CRIMEWhile the race has attracted more campaign cash than others, including Cruz’s last re-election bid against Beto O’Rourke, it hasn’t seen quite as much outside involvement as certain other races this cycle. In fact, Ohio has reportedly seen the most spending in its Senate race, topping $400 million, according to USA Today. After Ohio, more than $200 million has been spent in both Pennsylvania and Montana. “Chuck Schumer is spending over $100 million with George Soros trying to beat me. And McConnell in the Senate Leadership Fund is spending zero,” Cruz said, referring to expenditures from the Schumer-tied Senate Majority PAC and other outside dark money groups with connections to Soros. HOW GOP, DEM SENATORS ARE USING 2024 CAMPAIGN TRAIL TO LOBBY FOR CONFERENCE INFLUENCEAllred’s campaign did not provide comment to Fox News Digital in time for publication. “Ted Cruz is one of the best fundraisers in the Republican Party, he ran a great campaign, and he will be reelected handily on Tuesday,” SLF spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair told Fox News Digital in a statement.Less attention has been paid to the Texas Republican’s race — or those of Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Deb Fischer, R-Neb., who are in similarly competitive battles — because most conservative efforts have been focused on knocking off vulnerable Democrats in several more competitive battleground states.TOP REPUBLICANS PROBE BIDEN ADMIN ON AFGHAN NATIONALS’ ALLEGED ELECTION DAY TERRORIST PLOT”The way Washington operates, the swamp doesn’t like people that stand up and fight them,” Cruz told reporters. “And unfortunately, McConnell uses that super PAC to reward senators who obey him and to punish those who stand up to him.”In a recent book on McConnell, titled “The Price of Power,” Michael Tackett, the deputy Washington bureau chief of the Associated Press, detailed how the leader allowed conference members to publicly go against him, to an extent, if it was helpful to them electorally.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

Harvard, Northwestern failed Jewish students during college campus protests: House report

Harvard, Northwestern failed Jewish students during college campus protests: House report




A new GOP-led antisemitism report revealed Harvard University refused to call Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel “violent,” and Northwestern University considered taking Sabra hummus off campus. The 365-page report summarized a yearlong investigation by the House Education and Workforce Committee, collected from more than 400,000 documents from 11 schools across the country into how they responded to a wave of pro-Palestinian protests in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks. HARVARD FINISHES LAST IN NONPROFIT’S ‘FREE SPEECH’ RANKINGS OF 254 COLLEGES: ABYSMALAccording to the report, while drafting a public statement to make after Oct. 7, Harvard University senior administrators edited out the word “violent” to describe the attack after a dean complained it “sounded like assigning blame.” They mulled whether to disavow a declaration put out by some student groups that Israel was responsible for the violence, but ultimately decided not to. Northwestern University President Michael Schill, who testified before the committee last spring, expressed an openness to removing Sabra hummus from campus to appease protesters. The report said Schill appointed anti-Israel faculty to negotiate with the students who camped outside in protest of Israel’s offensive in Gaza. One suggested removing the popular hummus brand. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FACES HATE CRIME, TERRORISM CHARGES IN SHOOTING OF JEWISH MAN IN CHICAGO”It’s a very sore spot for Palestinians because it’s an Israeli hummus brand that’s penetrated most college campuses,” he said in a text message.The provost responded, “I’m all for making a deal. Bargaining in action!”Another suggestion taken under consideration, according to the report, was hiring an anti-Zionist rabbi. However, Northwestern denied ever “seriously” considering boycotting any Israeli company. Schill also excluded Jewish members of his President’s Advisory Committee on Preventing Antisemitism and Hate, according to the report. The report also accused multiple schools of withholding support from Jewish students and found it to be intentional rather than negligent. “The Committee’s investigation found that in multiple cases, these failures came not from mere ignorance or lack of forethought, but rather from intentional decisions by university leaders not to provide their campuses’ Jewish communities the necessary support needed to ensure they felt safe to live on campus or attend classes,” the report read.  ISRAEL’S STRIKE ON IRAN TOOK OUT MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS, ISLAMIC REPUBLIC ‘IS ESSENTIALLY NAKED’The report also discovered Harvard President Claudine Gay, who resigned after testifying on antisemitism before the committee and accusations of plagiarism, asked the university not to label the phrase “from the river to the sea” antisemitic, worried they would then have to discipline students who used it. At Columbia, the report revealed how administrators trying to bring an end to the pro-Gaza encampment considered making bigger concessions than they had previously let on, including proposals to divest from companies “complicit in violating international law” or that “manufacture certain categories of weapons” and partnering with a Palestinian university “where Hamas is active on campus.” The report also highlighted incidents when universities refused to punish students, including Columbia, which allowed some students to go without punishment after they took over Hamilton Hall.In a Dec. 10 board meeting, five days after Gay took the hot seat before the committee, she sharply criticized Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., the House Republican conference chair whose sharp line of questioning led in part to Gay’s resignation. Gay told the board it was hard to have the university’s “moral core” called into question, “esp[ecially] by someone who is a purveyor of hate” and “supporter of Proudboys.”The GOP-led report concluded the universities likely violated Title VI and demanded universities enforce more accountability. “Our investigation has shown that these ‘leaders’ bear the responsibility for the chaos likely violating Title VI and threatening public safety. It is time for the executive branch to enforce the laws and ensure colleges and universities restore order and guarantee that all students have a safe learning environment,” said Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. Northwestern, in a statement, objected to “unfair characterizations of our Provost and valued members of our faculty based on isolated and out-of-context communications” in the report.”The Republican Staff Report remains focused on events that were fully debated in the committee hearing last spring, and it ignores the hard work our community has put in since then to improve our policies and procedures.”

GOP lawmakers sound alarm on military voting ‘deficiencies’ ahead of Election Day

GOP lawmakers sound alarm on military voting 'deficiencies' ahead of Election Day




FIRST ON FOX: With just four days to go until Election Day, Republican lawmakers are demanding answers from the Pentagon after receiving complaints about inadequate resources to help military service members vote. Active duty service members claim the Pentagon has not allocated enough resources to let them cast their ballot on time and that the stockpile of write-in absentee ballots on at least one military base is depleted and has not been replenished, according to three GOP congressmen. Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich. and Mike Waltz, R-Fla., penned a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Wednesday, writing “with grave concern” about “deficiencies in the Defense Department’s protocols,” which also includes not making service members aware of their options on how to vote.”Our nation’s brave men and women in uniform brought to our attention that there has been inadequate education at the administrative level on how to register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and fill in a federal write-in absentee ballot if their state-issued ballot does not arrive in time,” the lawmakers write.MAJORITY OF VETERANS POLLED SUPPORT RE-ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP: ‘WE WANT TRUMP BACK'”Other service members also stated that when a request for a federal write-in absentee ballot was made, they were told the base’s stockpile of such ballots was depleted and had not been replenished.”The lawmakers say it is imperative that the Pentagon does everything in its power so the nation’s “elite warriors” have every opportunity to vote and that the Department of Defense (DOD) “mobilize all the necessary resources over the next seven days” so that military personnel are given that opportunity.They also requested that Austin clarify what training or guidance is given to service members so that they can vote and what training is given to each unit’s Voting Assistance Office (VAO).The Republicans also asked if there is a sufficient stockpile of federal write-in absentee ballots for service members nationwide to vote if their state-issued absentee ballot does not arrive on time. Additionally, the lawmakers want to know if military personnel have been given sufficient time to review a sample ballot electronically, so they know their voting options ahead of the election or if they have to fill in a federal write-in absentee ballot. BRIAN MAST: I’M A WOUNDED WARRIOR. I’VE SEEN DONALD TRUMP CARE FOR VETERANS. THAT’S WHY I’M VOTING FOR HIMFox News Digital requested comment from the DOD regarding the letter but did not receive a response prior to publication.”Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have mobilized federal manpower, resources, and tax dollars to block state-level election integrity measures, including in Georgia and Virginia, through lawsuits and smears,” Mast, a miliary veteran who lost both his legs while serving in Afghanistan in 2010, tells Fox News Digital.”They claim to care about democracy and the right to vote, yet they’ve failed to plan accordingly to facilitate the right to vote for every single one of our nation’s brave men and women in uniform. This is absolutely unacceptable. Our nation’s elite warriors deserve to have every opportunity to vote for the next commander-in-chief, especially since that person will be making life-and-death decisions for our troops.”Waltz, who served 27 years in the U.S. Army and National Guard, echoed those sentiments. “Both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have dismissed our warfighters serving in combat zones by either falsely claiming the U.S. has suffered no casualties under this administration or by claiming thousands of these service members aren’t in active combat zones,” Waltz tells Fox News Digital. “We need assurances these service members who are putting their lives on the line for our country have the information and tools they need to cast their ballot to vote.” Huizenga too said the situation “is completely unacceptable.””Sadly, this is the latest example of the Biden-Harris Administration failing to stand up for our servicemembers,” Huizenga tells Fox News Digital.A Defense official told Fox News Digital stocks of voting materials and supplies at military installations are based on local need and demand. The official said service members seeking further information or printable copies of a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot can visit FVAP.gov to access those materials.In the 2024 election cycle, the Defense Department’s Federal Voting Assistance Program has trained more than 3,000 Voting Assistance Officers to educate military voters and ensure they exercise their right to vote. “In addition to designating Voting Assistance Officers, every installation commander ensures voting assistance is included in the administrative in-processing as well as pre- and post- deployment checklists required of reporting and detaching personnel,” the official said.Voting procedures for military personnel are governed by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, which requires that service members are regularly notified of upcoming elections and that their absentee ballots receive expedited mail delivery service to be counted in federal elections.

Kelly Stafford rips NFL fans for cheering during player injuries: ‘This is their livelihood’

Kelly Stafford rips NFL fans for cheering during player injuries: 'This is their livelihood'




Cleveland Browns fans came under scrutiny this week after quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals last month. The incident, which was criticized by Browns players, was brought up again this week by Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, after she said some Minnesota Vikings celebrated the injury of one of their own players in last week’s game. During her latest episode of the “Timeout” podcast, Stafford took aim at NFL fans for the poor display of sportsmanship. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM”Speaking of injuries, we had one go down – and this goes with the Deshaun Watson situation – as he went down, fans cheering during injuries. It’s just – it’s enough. And I’m not going to sit here and rail on fans because you guys are also the reason that they get to play the sport they love, but I do think there’s some sort of line that is getting crossed that should never be crossed.”She continued, “And that is cheering when your players or when other team’s players go down. These are people who have families. This is their livelihood so to cheer as you watch their kind of dreams crumble, I’m not really a fan of that.” MATTHEW STAFFORD’S WIFE KELLY STAFFORD OFFERS TAYLOR SWIFT, OTHER WAGS POINTED ADVICE: ‘DON’T LOSE YOURSELF’Stafford did not elaborate on which player was injured, but she said some fans began doing the Vikings Skol chant at the time. “It just shouldn’t happen. It really just shouldn’t happen. We are all better people than that.””When you’re at a game and you see someone go down, let’s just think about the individual and not about the sport or the team or your fantasy f—ing football team that I don’t give a s— about. We just gotta be human in that [moment].” Stafford has not shied away from calling out NFL fans in the past. Last season, she took aim at Detroit Lions fans when she alleged that they booed at her children during a Rams game in Detroit in January. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
