Illegal Kills American Woman — Stephen Miller Responds Without Hesitation

/

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller issued a clear directive Thursday following the arrest of an illegal immigrant involved in a fatal car crash that claimed the life of a 24-year-old woman in Colorado. Miller stated on X, “The entire family will be deported.”

The incident in question occurred in July 2023, when a 16-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia, driving without a license, struck and killed Kaitlyn Weaver while traveling at 90 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone.

Weaver, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, died at the scene, as reported by The Western Journal.

Last week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed the arrest of the Colombian teenager along with his family members, all of whom are also in the country illegally.

“The minor, who was convicted of reckless driving resulting in death, was arrested along with his family who are also illegal aliens,” ICE said in a statement.

Just one week prior to the ICE action, the minor had been sentenced to probation and community service, avoiding jail time despite the fatal nature of the incident.

The sentencing drew widespread public criticism and renewed calls for immigration enforcement reform, particularly concerning criminal cases involving illegal immigrants.

The case has become a flashpoint in the ongoing national debate over illegal immigration and public safety.

Conservative leaders have pointed to it as another example of how current policies can allow those in the country unlawfully to avoid significant legal consequences, even in cases involving the death of an American citizen.

This is not the first time such a case has prompted national attention. Critics have long argued that existing immigration enforcement mechanisms fail to address individuals who have committed serious offenses while in the United States illegally.

ICE has stated that enforcement priorities include illegal immigrants who have been convicted of crimes or pose a threat to public safety.

Stephen Miller, a longtime advocate for stricter immigration policies, has maintained that deportation should be the standard for all illegal immigrants, especially those involved in criminal acts.

In this case, the call to remove the entire family aligns with the Trump administration’s broader approach to immigration enforcement.

Weaver’s death has become a rallying point for immigration reform advocates who argue that more robust enforcement is necessary to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

As of now, ICE has not released the names of the individuals arrested or provided a timeline for removal proceedings.

The Exact Moment Kamala Harris Ditched Joe Biden in Her Campaign Revealed

/

During a September 2024 memorial event marking the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Joe Biden was captured on video briefly wearing a red Trump campaign hat, a moment that reportedly marked the end of his joint public appearances with Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the election.

The event took place in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where Biden had been meeting with first responders.

During the visit, Biden engaged with a Trump supporter and, in what the White House at the time described as a “gesture of unity,” placed the Trump-branded cap on his head while speaking with the individual.

Footage from the event shows Biden interacting casually with the group before briefly wearing the red cap, which bore Donald Trump’s campaign branding.

While the White House downplayed the moment as a bipartisan gesture, new details published in the book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again suggest the episode caused internal tension within the administration—particularly with Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to the book, Harris was deeply frustrated by the incident. Upon seeing the footage of Biden wearing the hat, she reportedly turned to her team and asked, “What is he doing?”

She continued, “This is completely unhelpful. And so unnecessary.”

The book asserts that this moment was the final time Harris appeared alongside Biden at a public event before the 2024 election.

The Trump campaign quickly seized on the incident, circulating the footage and mocking the optics of the moment.

“Kamala did so bad in last night’s debate, Joe Biden just put on a Trump hat,” the campaign posted on social media.

Another post from the campaign added, “Thanks for the support, Joe!”

The 9/11 memorial in Shanksville was one of several high-profile appearances Biden made in September 2024, as public scrutiny over his cognitive and physical fitness intensified following a series of on-camera stumbles and media reports questioning his capacity to continue his reelection campaign.

The event, meant to mark a solemn national anniversary, ended up becoming part of the broader political narrative surrounding the campaign.

Original Sin, authored by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, has drawn attention for its detailed account of the Biden White House in the months leading up to the 2024 election.

The book highlights numerous behind-the-scenes incidents that reportedly contributed to internal disagreements among senior staff and campaign figures, with the 9/11 event cited as a flashpoint between Biden and Harris.

The White House has not publicly responded to the new claims made in the book.

As of now, there has been no official comment from either Harris or Biden’s post-presidency office on the reported fallout from the event.

SPLC Brands Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA a Hate Group, Kirk Issues a Scorching Response

/

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has added Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and PragerU to its annual “hate map,” listing both conservative organizations under the category of “anti-government extremist groups.”

This marks the first time TPUSA, a prominent conservative youth organization, has been included on the SPLC’s controversial list.

The SPLC’s updated Year in Hate and Extremism report was released Thursday, documenting 1,371 so-called “hate and extremist groups” across the United States in 2024, down from 1,430 the previous year.

The SPLC’s entry for TPUSA alleges the group “sows and exploits fear that white Christian supremacy is under attack by nefarious actors, including immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community and civil rights activists.”

The report continues, stating that “TPUSA and its spokespeople often warn their audience that their children, wives, religion, way of life and they themselves are under attack by various constructed enemies.”

It further accuses TPUSA of “exploit[ing] complicated feelings of insecurity and anxiety to manufacture rage and mobilize support to revive and maintain a white-dominated, male supremacist, Christian social order.”

Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk in 2012, is widely known for its presence on college campuses and its advocacy for limited government, free markets, and American constitutional principles.

The group has held major student leadership conferences and worked with numerous conservative figures and elected officials.

Charlie Kirk responds:

“Being on their list is a badge of honor. It means they’re terrified that we’re so effective. Keep crying, SPLC—America’s done with your scam.”

Also listed in the SPLC’s 2024 report is PragerU, a nonprofit that produces educational videos and digital content from a conservative perspective.

PragerU was founded by conservative commentator Dennis Prager and has gained widespread attention through its short-form videos on history, economics, religion, and politics.

Like TPUSA, this is the first time PragerU has appeared on the SPLC’s “hate map.”

The SPLC’s new classification of these groups follows similar designations in recent years.

The organization previously listed Moms for Liberty, a parental rights group, under the same category, sparking backlash from parents and education advocates across the country.

Although the SPLC was originally established to fight legal battles against violent racist organizations, including the Ku Klux Klan, its critics argue that it has since shifted into a partisan advocacy group, targeting conservative and religious organizations under vague or politically motivated labels.

Despite the controversy, SPLC data continues to be cited by media outlets and researchers.

The Guardian, which reported on the SPLC’s new findings, noted that the total number of groups identified by the organization has decreased.

According to the outlet, this is due in part to what the SPLC believes is a mainstreaming of certain ideologies, which it says are now more embedded in politics, education, and broader society.

“The 5% drop in hate and extremist groups in 2024 can be attributed to the fact that many feel a lesser sense of urgency to organize, because their beliefs have infiltrated politics, education and society in general,” the SPLC report claims.

The SPLC’s updated map and report are already drawing reactions from conservative organizations and public commentators, who argue the group continues to conflate political disagreement with extremism in order to maintain influence and visibility.

Tom Homan Slams Rep. McIver After ICE Assault, Demands More Deportations

/

White House Border Czar Tom Homan criticized Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver on Tuesday following her indictment for assaulting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during an incident at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the confrontation took place earlier this month and involved McIver and fellow Democratic Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman and Rob Menendez Jr., along with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka speaks to a crowd gathered in opposition to ICE on Tuesday, Mar. 11, 2025, after ICE released a statement last week announcing the opening of Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ as a detention center.

The group forced their way into the ICE facility in an attempt to stop the detention of individuals suspected of being in the country illegally. Baraka was arrested during the incident.

Footage from the scene shows McIver in a red outfit repeatedly pushing and striking federal officers during the encounter. She was later charged with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with federal agents.

U.S. Attorney Alina Habba announced the indictment on Monday evening, stating, “No one is above the law — politicians or otherwise.”

McIver responded to the charges on Tuesday, calling them “purely political” and accusing ICE agents of escalating the situation. “They created an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation when they chose to arrest Mayor Baraka,” she said in a public statement.

Rep. Watson Coleman also responded to the incident by launching into a profanity-laced tirade, claiming the situation stemmed from racial bias. “Bullsh*t!” she said when asked why the group stormed the facility, also invoking accusations of “White supremacy.”

Homan condemned the lawmakers’ behavior and rhetoric. “It’s disgusting,” he said.

“While these people are sitting home at night and sleeping in their beds nice and comfortably, the men and women of ICE are on the street, putting their lives on the line to arrest public safety threats and national security threats. She should be thanking them for making her community safer, rather than attacking them.”

Homan also commented on the Supreme Court’s recent 8-1 decision to lift a lower court’s injunction blocking President Trump’s order to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Venezuelan nationals.

The decision gives federal authorities the green light to begin large-scale removals.

“We’re going to have more deportations,” Homan said. “If they don’t have any status to be in the country, that means they need to be deported.”

The administration has pledged to move forward with enforcement, citing national security concerns and the need to uphold immigration law.

Hakeem Jeffries Struggles When Cornered on CNN About Joe Biden’s Mental Decline

/

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was confronted during a CNN interview Wednesday over allegations that top Democrats worked to conceal Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his final months in office.

Appearing on CNN’s The Situation Room, Jeffries was questioned by anchor Wolf Blitzer, who cited a recent incident involving Biden’s reported confusion at a campaign fundraiser hosted by actor and political activist George Clooney.

According to multiple accounts, Biden did not recognize Clooney at the event, raising further questions about his mental state during his presidency.

“Why should voters trust Democrats when it’s clear so many in your party went to great lengths to keep Biden’s condition hidden from the public?” Blitzer asked.

Jeffries deflected the question, stating, “I can’t tell you what happened between George Clooney and President Biden. I wasn’t at that event. What I can say is that we’re not looking back. We’re going to continue to look forward because at this moment we’ve got real problems that need to be addressed on behalf of the American people.”

Rather than address the specific concerns surrounding Biden’s cognitive state, Jeffries pivoted to accusing Republicans of targeting social safety nets.

“Americans are focused on Republicans snatching away health care, food assistance, and other things that hardworking people rely on,” he said.

Blitzer continued pressing the issue, asking Jeffries directly whether he noticed signs of decline in his interactions with Biden near the end of his presidency.

“You interacted with President Biden during those days, those final days he was president of the United States. Did you see, did you sense that there was a major deterioration?” Blitzer asked.

Jeffries responded by describing internal party discussions at the time.

“The conversations with President Biden during those final days surrounded what would be best for the party at that given moment in time,” Jeffries said.

“President Biden subsequently made the decision that he was going to pass the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris. Of course, that was a decision that we [Democrats] supported strongly.”

Blitzer then questioned whether Jeffries and other Democrat leaders should have intervened earlier as signs of Biden’s decline became more apparent.

“As you look back, you were in a leadership position when President Biden decided to run again. Should you have done more at that point to intervene?” Blitzer asked.

Jeffries again avoided a direct answer, shifting the focus to Democratic victories in special elections.

“The American people have consistently shown their trust in Democrats by rejecting MAGA extremism at the ballot box,” he said.

The interview has sparked renewed debate over the timeline and transparency surrounding Biden’s final year in office and the Democratic Party’s decision-making process during that period.

While Democratic leadership continues to rally behind Vice President Kamala Harris, questions remain over what party officials knew about Biden’s condition—and when.

No formal statements have been released from the White House or from former President Biden’s aides regarding the Clooney incident or Jeffries’ comments.

Letitia Gets More Bad News as DOJ Launches Criminal Investigation

/

The Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James following a referral from a former federal housing official under the Trump administration, Fox News has confirmed.

A source familiar with the matter said a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia has issued subpoenas related to allegations that James misrepresented a property in Virginia as her primary residence in order to obtain more favorable loan terms.

The probe is reportedly also examining a separate claim that James inaccurately listed the number of livable units in a Brooklyn property, allegedly to secure another favorable loan.

The criminal referral was made by William Pulte, then-Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who requested that the Justice Department investigate both incidents.

According to Pulte, James claimed a single-family residence in Virginia was her primary home despite serving in public office in New York.

In the second case, she allegedly overstated the number of livable units in a multifamily property located in Brooklyn.

James’ attorney, Abbe Lowell, responded to the investigation in a statement Thursday, characterizing the claims as politically motivated and previously addressed.

“These baseless and long-discredited allegations, put to rest by my April 24 letter to the Department of Justice, are suddenly back in the news just days after President Trump publicly attacked Attorney General James,” Lowell said.

Lowell further stated, “This appears to be the political retribution President Trump threatened to exact that AG Bondi assured the Senate would not occur on her watch. If prosecutors are genuinely interested in the truth, we are prepared to meet false claims with facts.”

Following the referral, Lowell sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ, accusing President Trump of leveraging the Justice Department for political retaliation.

In the letter, Lowell cited past statements by the president targeting James and referenced public calls for accountability.

James has been a prominent legal adversary of President Trump, participating in multiple lawsuits against his administration during his first term in office.

Most notably, she led the civil case against Trump and the Trump Organization, alleging they falsified business records to receive favorable loan terms.

A judge ultimately ordered Trump to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties, although the ruling is currently under appeal.

In his letter, Lowell argued that Trump’s prior claims about a politicized Justice Department are contradicted by the current investigation.

“The stunning hypocrisy of President Trump’s complaint that the Justice Department had been ‘politicized’ and ‘weaponized’ against him is laid bare as he and others in his administration are now asking you to undertake the very same practice,” he wrote.

Lowell also addressed the specific allegations in detail.

Regarding the Virginia property, he acknowledged that James signed a power-of-attorney document suggesting the home was to be used as a primary residence, but claimed this was an error.

He added that other lender documents made clear the home was not intended to be James’ primary residence.

As for the Brooklyn property, James is accused of inflating the number of livable units to receive lower loan rates.

Lowell argued that Pulte ignored more recent documentation that listed the residence as a four-unit multifamily dwelling, instead focusing on a certificate of occupancy dated from 2001.

Joe Biden Fudged the Numbers—Trump’s Deportation Machine Sets the Record Straight

/

President Donald Trump’s administration is reporting a sharp rise in immigration enforcement actions during its first 100 days in office, outpacing the Biden-Harris administration’s real deportation numbers by a wide margin once misclassified data is accounted for.

Officials are also pointing to a significant decline in illegal border crossings and a surge in self-deportations as a result of renewed enforcement.

Image Credit: Ruben2533 – Shutterstock.com

According to new data released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Trump’s administration has removed 65,682 illegal aliens and arrested 66,463 since January.

The rate of deportations now stands at approximately 660 per day—five times higher than the adjusted rate under the Biden-Harris administration, which had included “turnarounds” at the border in its deportation statistics.

A detailed analysis shows that over 80% of the 271,484 deportations claimed by the Biden administration in fiscal year 2024 were not ICE removals from the interior but were instead apprehensions by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the southern border.

These border turnbacks—classified as “returns” or “expulsions” by CBP—are not counted as deportations under standard ICE practice.

A December 2024 press release from CBP under the Biden administration referred to these actions as “removals and returns,” effectively inflating the deportation statistics. In contrast, ICE under Trump has reported only official interior removals, not including border turnarounds.

When recalculated, Biden’s true ICE removal rate falls to around 130 per day, compared to Trump’s 660 daily removals. Homeland Security reports that more than 142,000 deportations and 158,000 arrests have been made across all enforcement agencies in Trump’s first 100 days.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said in a statement Tuesday:

“We removed over 65,000 illegal aliens to countries across the world. We’re just 100 days into this administration and thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is using every tool at its disposal to enforce our country’s immigration laws and protect our communities.”

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said the early success reflects the administration’s aggressive approach after years of limited enforcement.

“President Trump and Secretary Noem have jump-started an agency that was vilified and barred from doing its job for the last four years.”

She added that illegal migrants are now turning back before reaching the U.S., and use of the CBP Home app for self-deportation is surging. Migration through Panama’s Darien Gap is reportedly down 99.99%.

White House Border Czar Tom Homan credited the current enforcement pace to policy changes but urged Congress to allocate more resources.

“Congress needs to get off their ass. Give us the money we need… We need money for more beds, for transportation, for more officers. We’ve got over 700,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions walking the streets of America.”

The administration has also reinstated the Remain in Mexico policy, requiring asylum applicants to wait outside the U.S. until their court dates—reversing Biden’s “catch and release” policy.

Under Biden, millions were released into the country with court dates or parole. The Center for Immigration Studies estimates at least 160,000 aliens skipped their court dates in FY 2023.

Upon taking office in January, President Trump signed an executive order directing that illegal aliens apprehended inside the country be detained. ICE officials now report that roughly three in four of those arrested under Trump have prior criminal convictions.

Additionally, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that approximately 9,000 illegal aliens have self-deported using the CBP Home app, a tool initially developed during Biden’s term.

While Homeland Security has not confirmed the exact figure, officials acknowledged that “thousands” have used the app to leave voluntarily.

In an address at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix last month, Homan stated, “I’m happy with the numbers, but I’m not satisfied. We need more, and that’s where the budget comes in.”

Phoenix, Arizona – December 22, 2024: President Trumps appointed border czar, Tom Homan at AmericaFest.

On Friday, the Office of Management and Budget submitted its request to Congress for the upcoming budget reconciliation.

The proposal includes $175 million in new funding for Homeland Security to “fully secure the border” and a 13% increase in defense spending, offset by reductions in education, foreign aid, environmental, and welfare programs.

Michelle Obama “Clearly Hates” Barack: Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly Unleashed

/

Tucker Carlson offered pointed commentary about former First Lady Michelle Obama and her relationship with former President Barack Obama during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, suggesting that Michelle harbors resentment toward her husband and linking what he described as “unhappy marriages” to broader societal problems.

Carlson, who formerly hosted a prime-time show on Fox News, told Kelly that he believes Michelle Obama “really dislikes her husband,” and that “it’s super obvious.”

He added, “I’m not just saying that to be catty… I think I’m trying to feel compassion for her, but her hostility toward the guy is unbelievable.”

The discussion centered on public speculation about the Obamas’ 32-year marriage, which has faced renewed scrutiny following recent interviews by Michelle Obama and comments by President Obama referencing a “deep deficit” in their relationship.

Carlson claimed that Michelle’s demeanor and comments about her marriage are emblematic of a larger issue.

“There’s nothing more destabilizing than an unhappy marriage,” Carlson said.

“She’s like a freak show and it’s easy to make fun of her and I enjoy it, but I do think it’s a whole class of people who are afflicted with the same kind of restlessness and rage and emptiness and they’re the ones wrecking our society.”

Kelly agreed, saying, “Everything Michelle says about her husband is negative.”

She compared it to her own relationship, stating, “I almost never say negative things about Doug. He’s not perfect but when I think about him, I don’t immediately go to whatever is negative. I go to what’s positive and what I love about him.”

Michelle Obama has publicly discussed the challenges of her marriage, including on her podcast In My Opinion, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson.

In past interviews and public appearances, she has spoken candidly about her husband’s ambition, their early financial struggles, and the difficulty of adjusting to political life.

In one episode of actress Sophia Bush’s podcast earlier this month, Michelle addressed growing speculation about her marriage, particularly her absence from high-profile events like President Donald Trump’s inauguration and the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter.

Addressing the rumors directly, Michelle said, “So much so that this year, people couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself. They had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.” She added, “That this couldn’t be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself, right?”

She also pushed back on how her public persona has been framed by critics and the media.

“The first label they put on us as Black women is that we are angry,” she said. “The irony is, like, yeah. I am probably less light than many of my white female friends.”

The former first lady has also expressed frustration with how the media portrayed her during the Obama presidency, citing one journalist’s claim that she was “emasculating” her husband simply by speaking candidly about her experiences.

Despite the speculation, the Obamas have been seen dining together in Washington, D.C., on two separate occasions in the last month.

Reality Hits Adam Schiff in San Francisco—and It’s Not Pretty for Democrats

/

Image Credit:© Jack Gruber-USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Content Services, LLC

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., issued a stark warning to fellow Democrats during an appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday night, sharing a personal story that he said highlighted major concerns about his party’s leadership, particularly in California.

During a panel discussion, Maher asked Schiff to address the current state of the Democratic Party, especially in how it governs liberal strongholds like California.

Schiff acknowledged the challenges facing his party, saying, “So we’re gonna have to change how we do business in California. We’re gonna have to address people’s legitimate concerns about crime.”

Schiff recounted a personal experience from two years ago in San Francisco, when his luggage was stolen from his car.

He admitted that he had been warned not to leave valuables inside his vehicle but chose to ignore the advice.

“And what was most memorable about the experience for me as I went to this Target in South San Francisco, 10 o’clock at night, and I’m getting the toiletries I’m gonna need for my next two days in the city,” Schiff said.

“First of all, I had to get the clerk, which is hard to find, to unlock the shampoo or the whatever. So that’s one thing.”

He continued by describing what happened at the checkout counter.

“And then I get to the cashier. The cashier asked me if I want one of those Target bags with a little bullseye on it. And I said, ‘Yes, that Target bag is gonna be my luggage for the next two days,” Schiff said.

According to Schiff, the cashier then asked what had happened, and after he explained the situation, she responded bluntly.

“She basically said in not so many words, ’Yeah, Democrats are a**holes.’ And I thought, you know, if the cashier in South San Francisco at 10 o’clock at night believes that Democrats are a**holes because the shampoo was locked up and my stuff got stolen out of the trunk, we’ve got a major problem that we have to address.”

Maher responded to the story, saying, “That’s an awesome story. That says a lot. I hope all the Democrats listen to that story.”

Schiff went on to express optimism about new leadership in San Francisco.

He mentioned Democratic Mayor Daniel Lurie, saying Lurie is “helping lead the way in how we kind of reinvent how Democrats are doing governance.”

The exchange comes amid ongoing concerns about public safety, theft, and governance challenges in major Democrat-led cities.

San Francisco, in particular, has been under scrutiny for its handling of crime, retail theft, and broader public dissatisfaction, issues that have gained national attention over the past several years.

Schiff’s comments reflect growing acknowledgment among some Democrats that public frustration over crime and quality of life issues is becoming a political liability, even within traditionally loyal urban voter bases.

His remarks on national television further signal the internal debate underway in the Democratic Party on how to respond to these challenges ahead of upcoming elections.

CNN’s Scott Jennings Slams Left for Targeting Maher Over Trump Dinner—Obey or Be Attacked

CNN commentator Scott Jennings criticized the backlash against comedian Bill Maher for meeting with President Donald Trump, calling the response from the left “an attempt to intimidate people” and prevent any future dialogue between liberals and conservatives.

As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Jennings made the remarks during a recent CNN segment while discussing the outrage Maher faced after visiting the White House earlier this month.

Xxx Bill Maher Mug

Though Maher made it clear he was not joining the MAGA movement, critics on the left still reacted with hostility, accusing him of legitimizing Trump.

One of the harshest responses came from actor and comedian Larry David, who wrote an op-ed in The New York Times that compared Maher’s dinner with Trump to dining with Adolf Hitler.

The piece condemned both Maher and Trump’s supporters and has been widely circulated among Maher’s detractors.

Jennings offered his perspective on the controversy, pointing out that the criticism wasn’t merely about Maher’s specific meeting but about discouraging any similar future interactions.

Scott Jennings, an American writer and conservative commentator spoke at the Swearing-In Ceremony of the Constitutional Officers at the Kentucky Capitol.

“The message of this is not to — because Bill Maher, first of all, I totally agree, he’s totally in the right to do it,” Jennings said. “I loved his monologue, even though I disagree with almost everything he believes politically. He was right to do this and he was right to speak out about it.”

Jennings continued:

“But this isn’t about that dinner. It’s about the next one. Because this is the modern Left. It’s an attempt always to intimidate people into not ever doing it again. It’s to silence yourselves, or we’ll do it for you.”

According to Jennings, the goal is to send a clear signal to public figures on the left: avoid engaging with President Trump or his supporters, or face social and professional consequences.

“That’s the purpose of this op-ed, so that the next comedian, or the next person on the American left chooses not to speak to Donald Trump,” he added. “This is all an effort to get people not to do what you just said, which is to talk to each other and our political leaders.”

The incident highlights growing concerns over ideological gatekeeping and the left’s increasing intolerance toward dissent or dialogue with political opponents.

Maher, who has frequently clashed with conservatives, now finds himself under fire from the very audience that once applauded him.
