By Ashley Parker. Donald J. Trump said Wednesday that he hoped Russia had hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, essentially encouraging an adversarial foreign power to cyberspy on a secretary of state’s correspondence.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said, staring directly into the cameras during a news conference. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
Mr. Trump’s call was an extraordinary moment at a time when Russia is being accused of meddling in the United States’ presidential election. His comments came amid questions about the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s computer servers, which American intelligence agencies have told the White House they have “high confidence” was the work of the Russian government.

Media Accuses Trump of ‘Treason’
By Joe Kovacs. Donald Trump’s suggestion Wednesday that Russia help find Hillary Clinton’s missing emails is being viewed by some as a joke, while others say it’s tantamount to treason. . .
Former CIA Director Leon Panetta told CNN Trump’s remarks were “totally outrageous,” and he questioned the Republican presidential nominee’s loyalty to the U.S . . .
Journalist David Gregory, speaking on a CNN roundtable, said Trump’s comments were childish:
“You know, I’ve run out of words to express my shock in how, uh, completely beyond the pale that Donald Trump is as a potential leader of the Free World, the commander-in-chief of our country. This was truly beyond the pale,” Gregory said. . .
When asked if he was concerned that he may be encouraging Moscow to spy on the Democratic Party, Trump said, “It gives me no pause. If Russia or China or any of those country gets those emails, I’ve got to be honest with you, I’d love to see them.” (Read more from “Trump Asks Russia to Help, Media Accuses Trump of ‘Treason'” HERE)

By DennisMichaelLynch. The DNC aided and abetted two illegal aliens on Monday night during the nationally televised DNC Convention 2016 in Philadelphia. Thus, according to the law, the DNC twice violated Section 8 U.S. Code 1324.
At 8:04pm local time, the DNC invited an illegal alien to accompany her daughter to tout Hillary Clinton for president. During her speech, which was televised on national TV, the daughter explicitly said her mother is in the United States illegally. Minutes before the mother and daughter team took to the stage, the DNC played a video showing the daughter communicating with Hillary Clinton during one of her tour stops in Nevada. It was then that the daughter (Karla) admitted to Hillary Clinton that her mother (Francisca) received a government issued letter of deportation. Clearly, the mother is ignoring the deportation order, and so to is the DNC and Hillary Clinton. (Read more from “Look: Dems Just Broke Federal Law on Live TV… DNC Cameras Catch Everything” HERE)

ASTRID SILVA–the DNC’s Champion ILLEGAL ALIEN and Obama’s Old Campaign Buddy
By Girls Just Wanna Have Guns. She has been here illegally since the age of 4 and now she is the left’s champion illegal alien. Check out the work she used to do for Obama in 2012. This ought to shock you . . .
We actually know quite a bit about [Astrid] Silva, because she’s a DREAM activist, and the organizing director of the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada (PLAN). She’s on a DACA work permit from Obama, and for good reason: she campaigned for him in 2012. (If I were a betting woman, I’d bet that Francisca’s and Karla’s entrée to the convention came through Silva.)
PLAN’s staff page describes her thus (emphasis added):
Astrid Silva is PLAN’s organizing director. She started at PLAN as a volunteer and transitioned to staff after receiving her Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) work permit. Astrid has been referred to as the “face” of immigration, and Harry Reid’s conscience when it comes to immigration reform. Her personal story was highlighted by President Barack Obama and she was chosen by the White House to introduce him at a Las Vegas. She is a leader among DREAMers in Nevada and is the co-founder of DREAM Big Vegas, a Southern Nevada organization for undocumented youth. Astrid is a graduate of Advance Technologies Academy, holds two associates degrees from the College of Southern Nevada and currently attends Nevada State College.

On Monday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-MA (F, 16%) spoke at the Democratic National Convention. While she intended to throw her political tomahawk at Republicans, she actually hit Obama.
In her remarks, Warren argued, “Washington works great for those at the top,” and that the favoritism for the elite has been facilitated only by Republicans.
Well, I have news for her. Those at the top have benefited more from the Obama administration than from any other president in history.
As a candidate, Obama promised to shut the White House doors to lobbyists – and curtail the revolving door mentality of administration officials rotating among government positions and high paying lobbying jobs.
Yet, it’s never been worse. In 2015 alone, there were 70 K street lobbyists who accepted powerful jobs in the White House. In 2014, Politico reported that Obama had decided to reverse part of a lobbyist ban put in place by President George W. Bush. Furthermore, they reported, “The Obama administration will release a new rule this week, which is expected to allow registered lobbyists to participate in policymaking deliberations in an advisory role.”
So, big corporations are going to write our laws? You’ve got to be kidding me!
Perhaps the lobbyist’s new role in drafting legislation can explain the White House visitor log, which certainly makes plenty of time for “those at the top.”
But it’s not just the cronyism that has Elizabeth Warren upset. She also went on a tirade against big banks, tax and regulatory loopholes, and special interests.
When giant companies wanted more tax loopholes, Washington got it done.
When huge energy companies wanted to tear up our environment, Washington got it done.
When enormous Wall Street banks wanted new regulatory loopholes, Washington got it done.
They sure did, Senator Warren, and it was all happened under the man who promised “change,” President Barack Obama.
Take, for example, a bill that Congress passed in December 2015, which provided $630 billion in tax breaks to special interests and lobbyists. It included specific tax cuts to industries like Puerto Rican Rum manufacturers, NASCAR, and the Hollywood film industry.
In my December analysis of the crony tax breaks, I wrote:
[H]ow lucrative are these tax breaks for K street? Americans for Tax Fairness in 2014 analyzed this very question. They found that corporate American hired a battalion of 1,359 lobbyists to infiltrate Capitol Hill [and the White House] at a cost of $2.9 billion.
Did President Obama reject the tax package as a “handout to lobbyists” or veto the legislation as “only benefiting the elites”? Absolutely not.
Regarding the “huge energy companies” that Senator Warren rails against, she should note that no Administration is more to blame for cronyism in the energy world than that of President Obama. This was the president that awarded a big donor a $535 million loan to fund a solar company named Solynda. Touted as an opportunity to provide clean energy and support 4,000 new jobs, this energy company went bankrupt on the backs of taxpayers.
At other times, it appears the Obama Administration’s energy policy is synonymous with political donations. In that sense, I suppose Obama really is trying to go “green.” In July 2012, Breitbart highlighted just a few of Obama’s cronies that received taxpayer funded loans, writing,
[Steve] Westley, who bundled between $700,000 and $1 million for Obama’s two campaigns and sits on an Energy Department advisory board, also unabashedly mixes politics and business. His venture firm, the Westley Group, saw federal green energy dollars steered to at least four companies in his portfolio.
I wonder if Senator Warren is referring to these shenanigans when she directs her angst towards Washington’s support of the big guy?
Finally, the Obama Administration is the king of Wall Street cronyism. Take Obama’s former National Economic Director, Larry Summers. Since his departure, he has been routinely paid millions as a keynote speaker by JP Morgan, and Hedge Bermuda Global Hedge Fund, among others.
David Markowitz, a former top assistant at the Securities and Exchange Commission under Obama, has also cleaned up in his new job as a general counsel at Goldman Sachs. Obama’s former Budget Director, has likewise decamped for a Vice Chairmanship at Citibank? The list goes on.
Contrary to popular myth, Obama never took on Wall Street. He bailed them out. Obama took the banks deemed “too big to fail,” saved them, and made them even larger. Consider this analysis from MIT economist, Simon Johnson in his book, 13 Bankers:
In the end, the major banks got business as usual. The shake out of 2008 left the big banks even bigger. Bank of American absorbed Countrywide and Merrill Lynch – and watched its assets grow from $1.7 trillion at the end of 2007 to $2.3 trillion in September 2009. JPMorgan grew from $1.6 trillion to $2 trillion.” And “…By the end of 2009, five banks together had over 95 percent of the market for derivative contracts trade by U.S. banks.
In fact, if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency, the Wall Street cronyism is likely to be more pronounced than even under Obama. After all, Clinton is already bought and paid for. Since 2001, Bill and Hillary Clinton have made $153 million by delivering speeches to big corporations. That amount includes $7.7 million to big Wall Street banks.
Clinton has even proven she’s willing to promote legislation that supports the titans of Wall Street, for the right price. As the Washington Times reported in 2015, “Mrs. Clinton introduced a bill when she was New York’s junior Senator that allowed a donor to the Clinton Foundation to use tax-exempt bonds to build a shopping center in Syracuse, New York…”
In fact, if there is one candidate that is most friendly to the big guys on Wall Street, it is Clinton. The Wall Street Journal reported in May that half of all Hillary’s campaign contributions had come from Wall Street. On the other hand, Trump only garnered 1 percent of his from the same crowd.
Elizabeth Warren is absolutely correct; we can’t have another eight years of politicians who are only interested in enriching their friends and donors – or those simply looking out for the big guy. That is what we received under Obama; that is certainly what we’ll receive in Hillary. Warren didn’t realize it, but in calling for an end to favors for big business, she was actually urging voters to reject Obama, and thus reject Hillary. I agree.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sought to distance herself further from the deaths of four Americans in the Benghazi attacks during an interview with 60 Minutes that was broadcast Sunday.
Although Clinton said in the interview that, as America’s secretary of state, she “took responsibility” after the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, she also pointed the finger at others for security failings before they took place.
Clinton said she was not at fault for the Benghazi attacks in which four Americans were killed, citing the multiple investigations into the events and the fact that none of them charged her with negligence.
She said that after the attacks, she took a leadership role to prevent future such incidents.
“When this happened in Benghazi, I immediately stood up an independent committee – distinguished Americans, military and civilian experts,” she said. “They came out and they said, ‘You know, the ball was dropped – in security. And, you know, some of the decisions that were made, probably should have been rethought.’”
CBS’s Scott Pelley then asked, “But wasn’t that your ball to carry?”
“No, it wasn’t. It was not my ball to carry,” Clinton said.
“Read all of the reports, all many hundreds of pages of them, including this latest one, which was a political exercise from the very beginning,” she said, then added a comment about pre-attack reports. “Those never reached me. Those never came to my attention.”
Rick Moran, writing on The American Thinker, said even if that were true, Clinton would still be responsible as the head of the State Department.
“If the alarming reports from Libya about the lack of security at the diplomatic compound never reached her desk, her top aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills should have been fired,” he wrote. “Someone, somewhere, higher than a mid level functionary must have seen those requests for additional security help. And the failure to pass the requests on to Clinton — if there was a failure — constitutes gross negligence.” (For more from the author of “Clinton’s Claim About Benghazi Sparks Instant Outrage” please click HERE)
Two undercover filmmakers whose videos exposed abortion provider Planned Parenthood won’t face criminal charges after all. Instead, they’re hailing the news as a First Amendment victory for citizen journalists.
On Tuesday, the Harris County district attorney’s office dismissed all charges against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt. The duo worked undercover to produce a series of videos alleging Planned Parenthood’s involvement in the sale of unborn baby body parts. It is illegal to “knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue.”
Daleiden, project lead at the Center for Medical Progress, and Merritt were indicted by the Houston-based grand jury in January for using false government identification during their undercover investigation. Daleiden was also indicted for “intentionally and knowingly” offering to buy human organs. The two faced up to 20 years in prison, LifeSiteNews reported.
Daleiden, 27, called the charges against himself and Merritt, 62, “bogus” and “politically motivated.” He said the dismissal of charges “is a resounding vindication of the First Amendment rights of all citizen journalists, and also a clear warning to any of Planned Parenthood’s political cronies who would attack whistleblowers to protect Planned Parenthood from scrutiny.”
“Planned Parenthood did wrong here, not David Daleiden,” said Peter Breen, Daleiden’s attorney.
Breen said Daleiden used “standard undercover journalism techniques” and followed applicable laws. He also called it “a huge win for the First Amendment rights of undercover journalists.”
For the investigation, Daleiden set up a fake biomedical research company, Biomax Procurement Services. Daleiden and Merritt falsified California driver’s licenses to match their undercover identity.
After a string of the undercover videos were released last summer by the Center for Medical Progress, federal and state investigations, as well as a nationwide effort to defund Planned Parenthood of taxpayer funding, ensued.
Planned Parenthood has claimed no wrongdoing. Earlier this year, the Houston grand jury declined to charge the nation’s largest abortion provider.
Pro-life activists had revealed a potential conflict of interest between the district attorney’s office and Planned Parenthood. Operation Rescue found that a prosecutor in the office also serves on Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast’s board of directors.
In his statement, Daleiden said:
Planned Parenthood tried to collude with public officials to manipulate the legal process to their own benefit, and they failed. A year after the release of the undercover videos, the ongoing nationwide investigation of Planned Parenthood by the House Select Investigative Panel makes clear that Planned Parenthood is the guilty party in the harvesting and trafficking of baby body parts for profit.
“The dismissal of these charges is just more evidence that they should not have been brought in the first place,” said Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation.
“The bias and misconduct of the prosecutor was evidenced by her turning over the undercover videos to Planned Parenthood, which was supposed to be the target of the investigation,” von Spakovsky added. “Instead, the prosecutor apparently violated grand jury secrecy rules and coordinated with Planned Parenthood to target the undercover journalists who had exposed Planned Parenthood’s wrongdoing.”
Planned Parenthood has said the Center for Medical Progress videos are part of an “elaborate, illegal conspiracy in order to block women’s access to safe and legal abortion.”
“Relying on old tactics, anti-abortion activists have leveled a new series of false claims against Planned Parenthood since July 2015,” Planned Parenthood’s website says. “Using heavily edited videos, extremists made now widely discredited and debunked accusations about our practices to facilitate fetal tissue donation at a small number of Planned Parenthood health centers.”
Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, calls Daleiden a “hero.”
“Planned Parenthood needs to be held accountable for their horrendous business practices of betraying their clients and selling their babies piece-by-piece for profit,” Hawkins said in a prepared statement.
Planned Parenthood called the Center for Medical Progress’ work and congressional investigations into their organization a “smear campaign.”
“Daleiden shone a spotlight on the darkness that is the abortion industry and faced unrelenting personal attacks as a result,” said Roger Severino, director for the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at The Heritage Foundation. “Now that the misguided prosecution against him has failed, the focus should go back to where it always belonged, on defunding Planned Parenthood and ending the unconscionable practice of buying and selling of aborted baby parts.” (For more from the author of “Undercover Filmmaker Who Exposed Planned Parenthood Calls His Case a ‘Huge Win’ for Journalists” please click HERE)

Three years after he was convicted of murder, Kermit Gosnell’s shuttered abortion clinic still stands mere miles from Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center, home to this week’s Democratic National Convention.
As Democrats gather in the city to anoint their presidential candidate, film director and citizen journalist David Altrogge is preparing the release of a new film, “3801 Lancaster: American Tragedy.” The award-winning documentary, hailed by media commentators including Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper on CNN, will release on iTunes and Amazon Video on Aug. 2.
The documentary tells the true story of Gosnell and Altrogge cannot help but express outrage after careful research of the facts.
“Real women and babies lost their lives—because the Pennsylvania Department of State and the Department of Health chose to look the other way,” he said in a recent interview. “Whether you’re pro-life or pro-choice, can’t we at least agree that women deserve better?”
Interviewing Gosnell over seven months, Altrogge developed a relationship of sorts with the notorious abortion doctor—who is currently serving three life sentences in a Pennsylvania prison for involuntary manslaughter of a woman seeking an abortion at his clinic and first-degree murder of three infants born alive (among other criminal charges). Gosnell himself narrates many scenes in the “3801 Lancaster” documentary.
Now, Altrogge shares his response to the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the practices of Planned Parenthood, and why citizens should not stay silent.
Q: What is your reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision last month, striking down the Texas law that would have provided higher clinic safety standards?
A: I’m disappointed by the court’s decision. It was my hope that, as a nation, we would learn from what happened in Philadelphia at Dr. Gosnell’s clinic and implement commonsense clinic regulations to prevent it from happening again in Texas and elsewhere.
The grand jury report in the Gosnell case specifically recommended the implementation of ambulatory surgical center standards to protect women seeking abortions, which is what Texas did through state law HB 2. This Supreme Court decision makes it clear our country hasn’t learned what happens when we make women’s access to abortion a higher priority than women’s safety. It’s only a matter of time before our nation has another abortion clinic disaster like we had in Philadelphia.
Q: After spending hours upon hours interviewing Kermit Gosnell personally, why do you believe he subjected women to such poor medical treatment?
A: Before actually meeting him, the media reports I heard about Kermit Gosnell were that he’s a monster. Then when I started talking to him I realized, ‘Oh my gosh! He’s thought through what he’s doing and he has rational reasons for it.’
It is much easier if we view him as like a “B movie” monster and an aberration. It makes us feel better to think, ‘OK, that was one crazy guy, but thank goodness he was an outlier and there aren’t others like him.’
What’s so troubling is you look at him and you have to ask the questions: What did he believe? What ideas did he buy into over the years that allowed him to be okay with what he was doing?
Here we have a man who is very intelligent, very successful—who has bought into certain ideas that lead him to some incredibly dark places. They led him to hurt people. That’s one of the most disturbing things about this story.
Q: Why did you choose to tell this story from the vantage point of Gosnell’s former patients, his family, and the investigating officials?
A: The making of this film was a very evolutionary process. We knew from the outset we had to tell it from the vantage point of some of his patients—who were some of the first people we found and interviewed for the film.
We also had this incredible document, the grand jury report, that so clearly laid out the case. After reading it, we thought it would be amazing to be able to interview the investigating officials—the crime scene investigators and the narcotics officer who broke the case. But when we started the film in 2011, there was a gag order on the case so no one involved was allowed to talk about it.
Instead, we started by interviewing former patients, people who had known Gosnell, neighbors, and some reporters. After the trial, we had the incredible opportunity to finally do those interviews with those police officers and with the crime scene detectives—all those really powerful interviews.
Q: As you’ve researched the abortion industry more broadly, do you see the practices of Gosnell’s clinic as the exception or the rule?
A: I don’t believe that Kermit Gosnell is an outlier in the abortion industry. If you look at the amount of money he made doing what he was doing, there’s no way that he’s the only guy doing it.
In the film, we also look at another clinic that also had some really dangerous practices going on in Delaware. The similarities between this Delaware case and Gosnell are striking as far as the Delaware Department of State not responding to complaints, just like the Pennsylvania Department of State failed to respond. Just incredibly similar.
Now, are all other clinics as filthy and unsanitary as Dr. Gosnell’s clinic? I don’t think that is an accurate statement either. But it would be naïve to say there are no others like Kermit Gosnell, who was making a significant profit providing abortion services.
Q: Tell us more about the Planned Parenthood of Delaware story. Why did you include perspectives of pro-choice women on the practices of abortion clinics?
A: Right in the middle of our documentary production, this whistleblower story breaks in Delaware and we realized we had to go out there and tell this story too.
It was important to include the perspectives of pro-choice nurses because what we found and what they shared was powerful. You don’t have to be pro-life to stand up and say, ‘What’s happening here is wrong.’
Even when we disagree on abortion, we should at least agree that women who go into these abortion clinics should expect some level of safe treatment for themselves. It’s mind-blowing and unfathomable to me how people who claim to be pro-woman can be against any sort of regulations.
To the people who are so vehemently pro-choice, I’d say, ‘Look at what happened at Planned Parenthood of Delaware and at Gosnell’s clinic, and what is happening elsewhere. Why can’t you at least say this is wrong, and we have to put a stop to that?’
Q: As a filmmaker who happens to be a Christian, how do you address fellow believers who choose not to be aware or speak up for the most vulnerable in our society?
A: I would encourage you to look at where Jesus said: “Do for others as you would want them to do for you.” When you look at abortion, if you were a potential victim, how would you want others to treat you?
Turning a blind eye is not an option for Christians. We have to look at this. We have to ask, ‘What am I called to do as a Christian? How am I called to stand and speak up?’ I know it makes us so uncomfortable, but we have to address this issue.

Dozens of Bernie Sanders delegates walked out of the arena in protest and entered the media tent at the Democratic National Convention minutes after Hillary Clinton was declared the party’s nominee.
Shortly after Clinton officially won the nomination, supporters of Sanders, her primary rival, clogged the hallways while chanting “this is what democracy looks like” and “this is our country.” From another side of the arena, several people wearing Black Lives Matter shirts also joined in as the group headed outside to the media tent.
When asked if they were being forced out of the arena, one woman clad in a Sanders T-shirt said they were leaving voluntarily, adding, “It’s been a tough day.”
As a group of Sanders supporters entered the media tent, they were swarmed by reporters with cameras and iPhones.
Several people decked out in Sanders attire were also escorted out of the arena by convention staff. One woman screamed that she would not vote for Clinton and said she planned to “leave the Democratic Party.” (Read more from “Breaking: Right After Bernie’s Endorsement, something MASSIVE Happened Hillary Never Expected” HERE)

By Ricard Pollock. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen referred congressional charges of corrupt Clinton Foundation “pay-to-play” activities to his tax agency’s exempt operations office for investigation, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
The request to investigate the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation on charges of “public corruption” was made in a July 15 letter by 64 House Republicans to the IRS, FBI and Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They charged the foundation is “lawless.”
The initiative is being led by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who serves as the vice chairwoman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees FTC. The FTC regulates public charities alongside the IRS.
The lawmakers charged the Clinton Foundation is a “lawless ‘pay-to-play’ enterprise that has been operating under a cloak of philanthropy for years and should be investigated.”
Koskinen’s July 22 reply came only a week after the House Republicans contacted the tax agency. It arrived to their offices Monday, the first opening day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Clinton Fundraises off Polls Showing Her Losing
By Jesse Byrnes. Hillary Clinton’s campaign is fundraising off polls that show her lead over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has evaporated.
“I’m pointing this out because it’s part of a broader trend,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook wrote in an email to supporters of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee about the polling.
“Poll after poll is showing that Trump has been eating away at our lead, and after his convention, he’s erased it entirely,” Mook added.
While the campaign aide argued they expected “some of that,” as candidates traditionally get a bounce after their conventions, “that doesn’t make these next few weeks any less critical.”
The fundraising appeal asks for supporters to pitch in $1 for Clinton’s campaign. A button in the email directs viewers to the campaign website where amounts range from $5 to $500. (Read more from “Clinton Fundraises off Polls Showing Her Losing” HERE)

By Raheem Kassam. The flag of pan-Arab nationalism, born out of violent rebellion and struggle (or jihad), was flown today on the floor of the Democratic National Convention. What it means that the flag of “Palestine” can be spotted in Philadelphia, with not an Old Glory in sight, is that the Democratic Party of America is taking a hard-left turn.
Bernie Sanders delegate Ali Akın Kurnaz is being credited on Twitter with raising the flag which represents a violent struggle against the only functioning democracy in the region, Israel. This is the only reasonable interpretation of what hard-left activists attempt to dress up in the garbs of “human rights” and “self-determination”.
The Palestinian flag is symbol of barbaric Arab nationalism, the kind of which saw the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem meet with Adolf Hitler in 1941 to discuss ridding the Arab world of Jews.
According to Time magazine, Haj Amin al-Husseini – who someone like Mr. Kurnaz would presumably laud as a “freedom fighter” – began his meeting with the Nazi leader by declaring that the Germans and the Arabs had the same enemies including “the English” and “the Jews”. In a historical context, his further mention of Communists was only another nod to his vicious anti-Semitism.
But grassroots activists scarcely dictate the wider views of the party, you might argue. And there are plenty of Democrats who are affirmed friends of the State of Israel. True, but with the pace of politics right now, we must address the trajectory of the party. We can do this in two ways.

DNC’s ‘All-Gender’ Bathrooms Mere Publicity Stunts?
This is too good: The virtue-signaling Democrat Party “coincidentally” placed their “all-gender restroom” directly across from the press booth. Oh, and it isn’t even an “all-gender” restroom, it’s a women’s restroom with an “all-gender” sign, according to radio host Jason Rantz.
Recently, Democrats have pushed their campaign for so-called transgender bathroom rights–the “right” for men who merely claim to be women the use of female locker-rooms and bathrooms–as a “civil rights” issue. This is, of course, a hard slap in the face to those who actually suffered through a suppression of their civil rights, but nonetheless, this is the left’s narrative. . .
Other reports have claimed that there are more “all-gender restrooms” on site, but they are likely just women’s rooms with a new sign, too. Check out the photo below, for instance: The sign reads “all-gender” while another sign directly below it says “women.” This is odd, to say the least.
