As we prepare to enter the new year, we’re taking you back to some of The Daily Wire’s best reporting from 2024. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-fema-official-ordered-relief-workers-to-skip-houses-with-trump-signs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This article</a> was originally published on November 8. 
A federal disaster relief official ordered workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters as they surveyed damage caused by Hurricane Milton in Florida, according to internal correspondence obtained by The Daily Wire and confirmed by multiple federal employees.
A FEMA supervisor told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida, to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, internal messages viewed by The Daily Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.
The government employees told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance, meaning they were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. Images shared with The Daily Wire show that houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote in the government system messages such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”
It is unclear whether the same guidance was issued elsewhere in the country. The employees were part of a Department of Homeland Security surge capacity force team, meaning they volunteered from other DHS agencies to help an understaffed FEMA as it dealt with a second major hurricane in a span of just a few weeks.

“I know they’re short-staffed, I thought we could go help and make a difference,” one of the employees said. “When we got there we were told to discriminate against people. It’s almost unbelievable to think that somebody in the federal government would think that’s okay.”
The employee said it felt wrong to discriminate against Trump supporters when they were at their “most vulnerable.”
“I volunteered to help disaster victims, not discriminate against them,” the employee said. “It didn’t matter if people were black, white, Hispanic, for Trump, for Harris. Everyone deserves the same amount of help.”
The guidance came as the Biden administration was criticized over its sluggish response to Hurricane Helene in rural areas across the country. In Roan Mountain, Tennessee, for example, locals <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-a-small-tennessee-town-survived-helene-after-the-emergency-response-floundered">told</a> The Daily Wire it took nearly two weeks for FEMA to show up. The town is located in Carter County, which <a href="https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/tennessee/">voted 81%</a> for Trump.
The FEMA agents ordered not to help houses with Trump signs were operating in Highlands County, a deep-red area located in south central Florida that backed Trump by 70%. It was hit with tornadoes, torrential wind and rain, and flooding when Milton hit in October.
In the chat, Washington said that it would be “best practice” to “avoid homes advertising Trump,” according to photos of the messages viewed by The Daily Wire. No explanation was given for this guidance, which included other recommendations like telling the workers to “practice de-escalation and preventative measures,” and to “avoid high salt diets and coffee.”
Photos from the system used by federal relief workers to track what homes they visit showed that relief workers followed Washington’s guidance. Several addresses were marked “not able to access property” with listed explanations such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership,” “Per leadership no stop Trump flag,” “Trump sign,” and “Trump sign, no contact per leadership.”
<div id="attachment_826363" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-826363" class="wp-image-826363 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/11/MixCollage-08-Nov-2024-03-17-PM-8891-1024x512.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/11/MixCollage-08-Nov-2024-03-17-PM-8891-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/11/MixCollage-08-Nov-2024-03-17-PM-8891-300x150.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/11/MixCollage-08-Nov-2024-03-17-PM-8891-768x384.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/11/MixCollage-08-Nov-2024-03-17-PM-8891-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/11/MixCollage-08-Nov-2024-03-17-PM-8891-2048x1024.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />One of the homes skipped by FEMA/ FEMA app tracking what homes were visited.</div>
“If they had damage or lost power for over thirty-six hours, it was my duty to inform them of benefits to which they are entitled through FEMA,” one team member wrote in a complaint filed to DHS about the guidance.
Washington is the Disaster Survivor Assistance crew leader for Highland County, a leadership chart reviewed by The Daily Wire shows. She did not respond to multiple phone calls or an email seeking comment on the guidance.
Chad Hershey, Washington’s FEMA supervisor, told The Daily Wire that the agency is looking into the situation.
“We are aware of it and we are taking proper action in this situation currently,” Hershey said.
Pressed to confirm the messages, Hershey said: “We are aware of it and we are taking action at this moment regarding the situation that you’re talking about.”
Hershey added that FEMA would be providing a fuller statement though none was yet provided by press time. He said that officials in Washington, D.C., would be reaching out to The Daily Wire.
After publication of this story, a FEMA spokesperson told The Daily Wire it was “deeply disturbed” and “horrified” by the employee’s actions, and that it has “taken extreme actions to correct this situation.”
“While we believe this is an isolated incident, we have taken measures to remove the employee from their role and are investigating the matter to prevent this from happening ever again,” the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “The employee who issued this guidance had no authority and was given no direction to tell teams to avoid these homes and we are reaching out to the people who may have not been reached as a result of this incident.”
“This is a matter that we take extremely seriously and we are doing everything we can to make sure all survivors receive support from FEMA. To date, we have helped over 365,000 households impacted by both Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the state of Florida and have provided over $898 million in direct assistance to survivors.”
“We are horrified that this took place and therefore have taken extreme actions to correct this situation and have ensured that the matter was addressed at all levels. Helping people is what we do best and our workforce across the agency will continue to serve survivors for as long as it takes.”
In addition to the statement, a FEMA spokesman clarified that Washington is not actively working for the agency, pending an investigation.
The guidance was first issued by Washington verbally on October 22, and again in the group chat on October 27, according to one of the federal employees. The Trump-related instructions were deleted from the chat a few days later, photos of the chat reviewed by The Daily Wire show.
By October 30, Washington had started walking back the instructions about skipping Trump supporters’ homes, one of the federal employees told The Daily Wire. The relief workers said Washington denied that homes were being skipped after a meeting with other FEMA administrators.
The employees say that Washington has not been punished for the guidance, but has been shifted to another county in Florida.
The whistleblower complaint says that the Trump guidance further undermines trust in FEMA and its response to the hurricanes.
“This behavior raises significant concerns of discrimination against United States citizens because of their political views,” a copy of the complaint obtained by The Daily Wire said. “These actions not only undermine the integrity of our agency and create a hostile work environment for those who may hold differing political beliefs but they also threaten the very democracy of our country.”

Trump Supporters

Throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, Democrats have shown multiple times that they look down on and even despise the conservatives who are voicing their support for President Donald J. Trump. 
Earlier this week, the President of the United States, Democrat Joe Biden, called Trump supporters “garbage.” Many in the media attempted to defend Biden, who claimed that what he really meant to say was that Trump supporters’ “rhetoric” is garbage. Maybe this would be believable if Biden wasn’t on video making the comment. 
Conservatives know that Biden’s “garbage” comment is just par for the course for the Democratic Party. In recent weeks, Trump and his supporters have been compared to Nazis and fascists. And Democrats appear to be completely fine with those designations for around half the country. 
Here’s what Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz said when he was asked if labeling Trump supporters as “garbage” and “Nazis” undercuts the Harris campaign’s “closing message of unity”: 
“Certainly not. And for me, I&#8217;ve represented rural areas, I&#8217;ve represented Democrats, Republicans, independents, same thing with the vice president. Look, you saw a presidential speech last night at the ellipse that is the best of America. One that&#8217;s talking about unifying us, one that&#8217;s talking about bringing folks to the table, one that the American tradition of disagreeing and debating, but still doing it in a respectful manner. I think the frustration we&#8217;ve seen since January 6th, the frustration with Donald Trump&#8217;s rhetoric of division, it does fire passions.” 
Harris talks a lot about unifying with all Americans, but remember what she appeared to tell the Christians shouting “Jesus is King” at her rally?
“Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally,” she said before laughing.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Apparently, Harris doesn&#8217;t want to unify ALL Americans.
Oh yeah, and she also agreed that Trump should be labeled a “fascist.”

Whether it’s Hillary Clinton calling Trump supporters “deplorables” in 2016 or Joe Biden calling them “garbage” this year, it’s clear that Democrats don’t want anything to do with you if you vote for the other party. 
That’s no way to run a country. And it’s certainly no way to run a business. Whether it&#8217;s Gillette, Harry’s, or any other woke company, if you wouldn’t give your vote to someone who openly hates you, you shouldn’t give your money to companies that despise your values. 
Jeremy’s Razors is a brand founded on the promise that it will not use your money to undermine what you hold dear. It champions traditional values and true masculinity, providing quality alternatives to woke corporations that pump out toxic chemicals and ideologies alike.

Some may not heed the call, but indecision is not a neutral action. Everything we do works towards or against the principles that make this country great, so go show the Left what their “garbage” rhetoric will get them on the political stage and the free market.

Former President Donald Trump told a crowd of his supporters on Wednesday that the Biden-Harris administration has treated them &#8220;like garbage,&#8221; highlighting President Joe Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-declares-trump-supporters-are-garbage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">description of Trump supporters</a> as &#8220;garbage.&#8221;
During a campaign call on Tuesday night, Biden slammed comedian Tony Hinchcliffe&#8217;s joke at a Trump rally last weekend after the comedian called Puerto Rico &#8220;a floating island of garbage.&#8221; In response, Biden said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump&#8217;s] supporters.&#8221;
Trump again brought up Biden&#8217;s comments at a rally in the battleground state of North Carolina on Wednesday, saying, &#8220;We know it&#8217;s what they believe because look how they&#8217;ve treated you. They&#8217;ve treated you like garbage.&#8221;
&#8220;You know what the truth is, they&#8217;ve treated our whole country like garbage, whether they meant to or not,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Because they&#8217;re grossly incompetent people, and they&#8217;ve destroyed our country.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">

Trump also ripped Vice President Kamala Harris for &#8220;comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history.&#8221;

Biden&#8217;s characterization of Trump supporters as &#8220;garbage&#8221; was roundly condemned, and the president attempted to explain his way out of it by claiming that he was referring to Trump supporters&#8217; rhetoric as being &#8220;garbage.&#8221;

&#8220;Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump&#8217;s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That&#8217;s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don&#8217;t reflect who we are as a nation,&#8221; Biden <a href="https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1851436643498037614" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
Asked about Biden&#8217;s comment, Harris <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/30/politics/kamala-harris-joe-biden-garbage-comment/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> reporters, “Listen, I think, first of all, he clarified his comments, but let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for. You heard my speech last night and continuously throughout my career. I believe that the work that I do is about representing all the people whether they support me or not.”
In the final stretch of the 2024 campaign, Harris has labeled Trump a &#8220;fascist&#8221; and claimed that he would use the military against his political opponents.

President Joe Biden faced significant backlash after calling the tens of millions of people who voted for President Donald Trump &#8220;garbage,&#8221; a remark that the administration has frantically tried to clean up amid the fallout.
Biden made the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-declares-trump-supporters-are-garbage">remark</a> while speaking on a campaign call Tuesday night about an insult comedian who performed at a Trump rally over the weekend who called Puerto Rico &#8220;garbage&#8221;.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”
Biden faced considerable backlash as clips of his remarks garnered millions of views online.

Twice failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said during an interview this week that many voters like former President Donald Trump because they view him as &#8220;strong.&#8221;
Clinton made the remarks Thursday night on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;The Source&#8221; with Kaitlan Collins while talking about the state of the upcoming election between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
&#8220;Well, first of all, I don’t think she has Jim Comey in the wings waiting to kneecap her,&#8221; Clinton <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/25/politics/hillary-clinton-trump-harris-election/index.html">said</a>. &#8220;So that’s good. And I’m very grateful for that.&#8221;
Collins asked Clinton if she thought that there was a &#8220;double standard&#8221; in the race since Harris showed up for CNN&#8217;s recent town hall while Trump declined.
&#8220;I really do, Kaitlan, and I see it as a double standard,&#8221; Clinton said, even though Trump has <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/trump-harris-tv-podcast-media-appearances-2024-election-951ba95c">far outpaced</a> Harris in the number of media interviews both candidates have given.
&#8220;Thankfully, we’ve made progress when it comes to women in politics and certainly seeking the highest office in the land,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But there still is a double standard, and I think there’s also a double standard because it still is very difficult to cover Donald Trump.&#8221;
When asked why Trump has seen a surge in support, Clinton said it&#8217;s because those who are backing him &#8220;think that he offers a better deal&#8221; for their economic future.

She said that many like his &#8220;belligerent attitude&#8221; toward the system while others &#8220;find him to be a strong man, and that’s very attractive to certain voters.&#8221;

The Trump campaign is looking into reports of rallygoers in Tucson, Arizona, experiencing a mysterious illness and what appear to be chemical burns after attending former President Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign event last week.
Around 20 people who were sitting on stage near where Trump entered the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall on September 12 said that in the hours after the rally, they became sick, the Arizona Globe <a href="https://arizonaglobe.com/fl/tucson-trump-rally-sparks-backlash-mysterious-illness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Most of those who reported a mystery illness were a part of the &#8220;Latinos for Trump&#8221; group. Symptoms included swelling in the face, blurred vision, and burning eyes.
NBC 4 Tucson reported that 48 people were allowed to sit on the stage behind Trump as he spoke, and it appeared that the only people who reported experiencing severe symptoms were sitting on Trump&#8217;s right. Trump&#8217;s Tucson rally took place just three days before the Secret Service fired on a gunman who appeared to be sitting in wait to take shots at the former president at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
A local pastor, Eli Moreno, and his wife, Francesca, said they were both affected by the illness. Pastor Moreno had opened the rally in prayer before he joined his wife and others who were seated on stage. Francesca said her nose started running, her face swelled, and her vision became blurry as they were driving home from the Trump rally. The couple reportedly stopped at a Walgreens store to find something to ease Francesca&#8217;s discomfort and met another person with similar symptoms who had attended the rally.
Another Trump supporter, Mayra Rodriguez — a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-worked-at-planned-parenthood-for-17-years-heres-why-i-am-saying-no-to-kamala" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former Planned Parenthood employee</a> and Hillary Clinton supporter — said she went to the emergency room after experiencing burning eyes and an intense headache and couldn&#8217;t even open her eyes after making it to the hospital. A doctor evaluated Rodriguez and said she had suffered a chemical burn, the Arizona Globe reported.

&#8220;The emergency room staff [were asking] &#8216;Are you sure you weren&#8217;t sprayed by anything? Your symptoms look like you were sprayed by something.'&#8221;
Rodrigeuz told NBC 4 in an interview the morning after the Trump rally that she &#8220;can&#8217;t see anything,&#8221; adding that &#8220;it hurts a lot to open my eyes.&#8221; Rogriguez also said she told the Trump campaign about her symptoms and was informed that the campaign is looking into it.
&#8220;The Trump campaign has been collecting information. We remain committed to the countless patriots that attend our high-energy, high-impact rallies across the country,&#8221; Senior Trump Campaign Adviser Danielle Alvarez said.

Rep. James McGovern (D-MA) believes that the 60% of Teamsters union members who back Donald Trump are &#8220;uninformed,&#8221; expressing disappointment after union leaders decided <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-first-democrat-in-decades-to-not-get-teamsters-endorsement-after-members-back-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not to endorse</a> a candidate in the 2024 presidential election.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, a union of more than 1.3 million members, released <a href="https://teamster.org/2024/09/teamsters-release-presidential-endorsement-polling-data/">internal polling</a> showing that Trump was supported by the union members over Harris 59.6% to 34%. The new internal poll showed a significant swing among union members in favor of Trump after Biden dropped out of the race. Members previously supported Biden over Trump 44.3% to 36.3%.
The Teamsters, which endorsed the Democratic presidential candidate in every election since 1996, said it would not endorse a candidate this year, adding that Harris would have only needed to gain &#8220;majority support&#8221; for an endorsement while Trump would have needed &#8220;universal support.&#8221;
McGovern, who <a href="https://www.jimmcgovern.com/2024/01/05/most-reasonable-people-would-agree/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">routinely</a> slams &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/McGovernMA/status/1793373121048916097" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MAGA Republicans</a>,&#8221; said that Teamsters members who support Trump are &#8220;misinformed or uninformed.&#8221;
“It’s clear that these workers are misinformed or uninformed about Trump’s record on labor. He is the most anti-labor president we have ever had, and his allegiance isn’t toward working people,” he said, according to <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/sep/18/democrats-seethe-over-teamsters-decision-to-not-en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Times</a>. “Look at his plans for a tax cut. I mean tax cuts for rich people, but not for people in the middle class.”
McGovern joined other House Democrats who expressed frustration with the Teamsters withholding an endorsement of Harris. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said she was &#8220;disappointed&#8221; with Teamsters President Sean O&#8217;Brien, saying she finds his &#8220;behavior, especially after he went out to eat at Mar a Lago with Donald Trump, to be a questionable change in his pattern.&#8221;
“At the end of the day, we know that when the Teamsters are in trouble, who do they call when they need to make sure that Teamsters pensions are bailed out?” she added, “When they need to make sure that they have a fair shake at the negotiating table? It was Sean O’Brien calling Democrats for help.”
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
Rep. Pramilla Jayapal (D-WA) also argued that Democrats are responsible for saving Teamsters pensions and &#8220;fighting for union organizing.&#8221;
O&#8217;Brien also became the first Teamsters president to give a speech at the Republican National Convention when he addressed the GOP gathering in July.
&#8220;The American people aren’t stupid. They know the system is broken. We all know how Washington is run,&#8221; O&#8217;Brien <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-teamsters-president-sean-obrien-speaks-at-republican-national-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in the speech. &#8220;Working people have no chance of winning this fight. That’s why I’m here today because I refuse to keep doing the same things my predecessors did.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hillary-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hillary Clinton</a> likened Trump supporters to Nazis because they pointed in the air during a rally.
While speaking at the Texas Tribune festival in Austin, Texas, on Friday, the former first lady, secretary of state, and failed 2016 presidential candidate recounted that when she was a student, she wondered why people in the 1930s and 40s were so enthralled with Adolf Hitler. Clinton implied that a similar phenomenon was going on with Trump supporters because, like at Hitler&#8217;s rallies, people at Trump rallies raised their arms while he was speaking.
“I remember as a young student, you know, trying to figure out, how people get basically drawn in by Hitler,&#8221; Clinton <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI98TIm-r_I" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;How did that happen? I’d watch newsreels and I’d see this guy standing up there ranting and raving, and people shouting and raising their arms. I thought, ‘What’s happened to these people?’”
“You saw the rally in Ohio the other night,&#8221; Clinton continued. &#8220;Trump is there ranting and raving for more than an hour, and you have these rows of young men with their arms raised. I thought, ‘What is going on?&#8217; So there is a real pressure, and I think it is fair to say we&#8217;re in a struggle between democracy and autocracy.&#8221;

Clinton was referring to Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Save America&#8221; Rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on September 17. Trump closed his remarks with a prepared monologue set to dramatic music. As Trump was speaking, supporters in the audience raised their arms and pointed upward with their index fingers. Some commentators claimed the move was associated with the QAnon conspiracy theory, but others said the crowd was simply showing the number one in reference to Trump&#8217;s &#8220;America First&#8221; message.

Clinton was not the only left-wing figure to compare Trump supporters to Nazis after the rally. Washington Post columnist <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/19/trump-ohio-rally-qanon-media/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Rubin</a> claimed that Trump supporters pointing in the air &#8220;bore an uncanny resemblance to the infamous Nazi salute.&#8221; Other left-wingers, including feminist author <a href="https://twitter.com/JoyceCarolOates/status/1571921766393462789?s=20&amp;t=rTMfiSLBJheyqP7P7A8kHA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joyce Carol Oates</a>, Harvard professor emeritus <a href="https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/1571503155204034561?s=20&amp;t=EsC-oen_6bwQvasIi0BNCQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laurence Tribe</a>, retired Army General and MSNBC contributor <a href="https://twitter.com/mccaffreyr3/status/1571323249870671874?s=20&amp;t=v3NKX2ThGlowrASVFIz54Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barry McCaffrey</a>, and the left-wing legal organization <a href="https://twitter.com/CREWcrew/status/1571475307990863872" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Citizens for Ethics</a> all compared the rally attendees to Nazi supporters on Twitter.
“As usual, the media is working hand in hand with the Democrats weeks before an election,” Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich said in a statement to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/09/24/hillary-clinton-likens-trump-supporters-to-nazis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a>. “It seems like perpetual-failed-candidate Hillary Clinton’s basket of deplorables has run stale, not unlike herself. It’s pathetic, it’s divisive, and it is further cementing her legacy of cringe.”
Clinton infamously labeled Trump supporters &#8220;deplorables&#8221; during the 2016 election. “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables,’” Clinton said at the time. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it.”
Clinton&#8217;s rhetoric is also similar to President Joe Biden&#8217;s recent line of attack against so-called &#8220;MAGA Republicans.&#8221;
At a closed-door event with supporters in Rockville, Maryland, in August, Biden said that the ideology of Trump and his supporters borders on fascism. “What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden said. “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/25/biden-trump-philosophy-semi-fascism-00053831" target="_blank" rel="noopener">semi-fascism</a>.”

A leading independent pollster said Saturday that polls might seriously undercount Republican voters in the current political climate.
In a Twitter thread, Trafalgar Group chief pollster Robert C. Cahaly said that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>’s recent attacks on so-called “MAGA Republicans” will make polling supporters of former President Donald Trump even harder to poll than in previous years. Cahaly pointed out that in the last two presidential election cycles, name-calling and threats from prominent Democrats contributed to the phenomenon of the “shy Trump voter.” But as the 2022 midterms have begun in earnest, Biden’s escalating rhetoric against Trump supporters, accusing them of embracing “semi-fascism” and being a threat to America, will make these voters even harder to reach in polling.
“In 2016 Trump supporters were called ‘Deplorables’ and other unflattering names,” Cahaly wrote on Twitter. “This was a major contributor to the ‘shy Trump voter’ phenomenon that ‘most’ polling missed which resulted in a major loss in public confidence for polling flowing the election.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“In 2020 people who supported Trump or espoused conservative values out of step with ‘Woke’ culture found themselves being ‘canceled’ or ‘doxed,’” Cahaly continued. “This led to ‘hidden voters’ that ‘most’ polling under counted, therefore Trump support in key battleground states exceeded expectations. Now [the] Biden administration has essentially classified ‘MAGA Republicans’ as a threat to democracy marshaling federal law enforcement to focus on them. This move has created a new type of voter that will be even harder to poll or even estimate.”

“I call this new group ‘submerged voters,’” Cahaly went on. “They aren’t putting stickers on their cars, signs in their yards, posting their opinions, or even answering polls.  At this point I think it’s fair to say that Biden’s pursuit of and attacks on ‘MAGA Republicans’ has created an army of voters who will be virtually impossible to poll (even for us) and more difficult still to estimate.”
”The 2022 Republican turnout will likely be higher than any of the polls or models are showing,” he concluded. “All polls (including ours) will understate the impact of these ‘submerged voters.’”

Other independent pollsters endorsed Cahaly&#8217;s assessment.
“Yes, call them an enemy of the state one month, and next month participation [falls],” Big Data Poll director <a href="https://twitter.com/Peoples_Pundit/status/1571132061054009347" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Richard Baris</a> said in response to Cahaly’s comments. “And those who do claim to be ‘undecided’ across the board.”
&#8220;Voter demonization leads to devilish difficulties in surveying,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1571237206672515078?s=20&amp;t=VCQRXt2QTG2g6SVYPNNN-A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rasmussen Reports</a> replied, promoting Cahaly&#8217;s thread.
Cahaly’s remarks come after New York Times chief political analyst Nate Cohn warned that mainstream polling is significantly overstating support for Democrats and is headed for yet another serious polling miss.
“[The] warning sign is flashing again: Democratic Senate candidates are outrunning expectations in the same places where the polls overestimated Mr. Biden in 2020 and Mrs. Clinton in 2016,” Cohn wrote.
Cohn pointed to the example of Wisconsin, where institutional polls in 2020 overstated Biden’s support in the state by about 8 points; in 2022, polls are favoring Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes by a similar margin.
“It raises the possibility that the apparent Democratic strength in Wisconsin and elsewhere is a mirage — an artifact of persistent and unaddressed biases in survey research,” Cohn said. “If the polls are wrong yet again, it will not be hard to explain. Most pollsters haven’t made significant methodological changes since the last election.”

After she tweeted in January 2020 that “just about all” of former President Trump’s followers suffered from a “shared psychosis,” a doctor of psychiatry who taught at Yale University was terminated from teaching there. Now she’s filed a complaint against the university, claiming she was unlawfully terminated “due to her exercise of free speech about the dangers of Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency.”
Dr. Brandy Lee sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2019 arguing that Trump was showing “signs of delusion.” On January 2, 2020, after two of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims claimed they were forced by Epstein to have sex with famed attorney Alan Dershowitz — Dershowitz <a href="https://www.thecut.com/2019/07/epstein-lawyer-alan-dershowitz-says-he-has-perfect-sex-life.html">responded</a> by saying that since he met Epstein, he had only had sex with his wife, adding that he had a “perfect sex life” — attorney Richard Painter likened Dershowitz’s rejoinder to a remark of Trump’s, writing, “Just like @realDonaldTrump’s ‘perfect phone call.’”
That prompted Lee to tweet, “Alan Dershowitz’s employing the odd use of ‘perfect’—not even a synonym—might be dismissed as ordinary influence in most contexts. However, given the severity and spread of ‘shared psychosis’ among just about all of Donald Trump’s followers, a different scenario is more likely.”

She added, “Which scenario? That he has wholly taken on Trump’s symptoms by contagion. There is even proof: his bravado toward his opponent with a question about his own sex life — in a way that is irrelevant to the actual lawsuit — shows the same grandiosity and delusional-level impunity.”

The <a href="https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2020/01/27/dershowitz-requests-yale-to-investigate-psychiatrist/">Yale Daily News</a> reported what happened next:
<blockquote>In response, Dershowitz — a current member of Trump’s legal team and professor emeritus at Harvard — refuted Lee’s claims via a Jan. 11 Op-Ed posted on the website of the Gatestone Institute, an international policy council and think tank. The day the article went up, Dershowitz sent an email to University spokesperson Karen Peart and University President Peter Salovey’s Chief of Staff Joy McGrath requesting an investigation of Lee. He copied Lee and Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken on the email.
“Dr. Bandy Lee of the Yale Medical School has publicly ‘diagnosed’ me as ‘psychotic,’ based on my legal and political views, and without ever examining or even meeting me,” Dershowitz wrote. “This constitutes a serious violation of the ethics rules of the American Psychiatric Association. I am formally asking that association to discipline Dr. Lee. By this email, I also formally ask Yale University, Yale Law School and its medical school to determine whether Dr. Lee violated any of its rules.”</blockquote>
The chair of the Yale Psychiatry Department, John Krystal, then warned Lee via email that the department “would be compelled to &#8216;terminate [her] teaching role” if she insisted on repeatedly making statements about Trump and mental illness, writing, “Although the committee does not doubt that you are acting on the basis of your personal moral code, your repeated violations of the APA’s Goldwater Rule and your inappropriate transfer of the duty to warn from the treatment setting to national politics raised significant doubts about your understanding of crucial ethical and legal principles in psychiatry.”
The Goldwater Rule <a href="https://www.psychiatry.org/newsroom/goldwater-rule">states</a>:
<blockquote>On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.</blockquote>
On May 17, 2020, Lee was notified that she had been terminated. She appealed the decision in August and September 2020.
Lee told the <a href="https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2021/03/23/former-professor-says-yale-fired-her-over-tweet-on-trump-dershowitz/">Yale Daily News</a> of her complaint: “I have done this with a heavy heart, only because Yale refused all my requests for a discussion, much as the American Psychiatric Association has done. I love Yale, my alma mater, as I love my country, but we are falling into a dangerous culture of self-censorship and compliance with authority at all cost.”
Lee stated in her complaint that she did not diagnose Dershowitz, “but [was] rather commenting on a widespread phenomenon of ‘shared psychosis.’”
Dershowitz commented on the lawsuit: “[Lee] credits me with getting her fired. I’m not that powerful. I am pleased with the fact that I brought to Yale’s attention the facts that demonstrate her deviation from professional norms. The facts are the facts, and Yale acted on the documented facts, not on my opinion.”

Speaking about President Joe Biden holding a moment of silence for the victims of the COVID-19 pandemic on Wednesday, Princeton professor and MSNBC guest Eddie S. Glaude Jr. invoked a description of God from Psalm 147: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.&#8221; The professor also cited what he described as the &#8220;selfishness&#8221; and &#8220;greed&#8221; of Trump supporters in lamenting the death toll of the coronavirus.
Prior to his biblical characterization of Biden&#8217;s inauguration, Glaude, who is the Chair of the Center for African American Studies and the Chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University, characterized the last four years as marked by “selfishness,” asserting, “The selfishness that has kind of suffocated the land was held at arms length for a moment. We’ve needed a national ritual to mourn so that we can think about the morning.”
“And for a moment, just listening to the words of and the song and singing, the lights, President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris pulled the grief and regret out of the privacy of our hearts, if just for a moment so that we all could share it,” he continued reverently. “Cardinal Gregory put it powerfully: sorrow unites us. You know? We needed this ritual because the dead weren’t settled. People didn’t die right, Nicolle. And coming out of my tradition, when folk don’t die right they haunt.”
“So I’m thinking of Charlie, when he would slice that golf ball and cuss at the top of his lungs, or sit down and smoke cigars and talk about how bad we played and how good (sic) we would play the next round,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The thing about all of those folks who, just for the moment, the nation shared their grief. Oh what a first step, what a beautiful step. So I’m gonna — I’m reminded of the Psalmist, you know? ‘He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.’ Maybe the [dead] will speak to us now, maybe they can rest.”
Pslam 147 begins, &#8220;Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.  He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.&#8221;
Glaude also targeted the 75 million people who voted for Trump, suggesting they were motivated by &#8220;selfishness&#8221; and &#8220;greed&#8221; and implicitly blaming them for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have died from the coronavirus:
<blockquote>You know, we’re at a crossroads as a nation, and you know, Brian, it’s easy for us to place all of the blame on Donald Trump. He makes it easy for us, you know? He does. But there were 75, 74-plus million people who voted for him. Selfishness, greed, you know, they run rampant across the land, but, you know, there’s something that President-elect Joe Biden said: “To heal is to remember. To heal is to remember.” 
So not only do we have to remember our dead, we have to remember what brought us to this moment, what got us here. And it’s not just Donald Trump. It’s not just him. And that honesty will help us walk the path that we need to walk, I hope.</blockquote>

Princeton Prof Gets Biblical Praising Biden, Blames Trump Supporters’ ‘Selfishness’ For Covid Deaths

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC) was verbally harassed by a group of Trump supporters at the Reagan National Airport on Friday, video from Trump supporter Mindy Robinson shows.
Robinson, who apparently took the video herself, and others can be heard calling Sen. Graham a &#8220;traitor&#8221; and calling for the presidential vote to be audited.
“You work for the people; you work for us; do you hear me?” one protester tells the senator.
&#8220;Lindsey Graham, you are traitor to the country! You knew it was rigged. You knew it was rigged, you garbage human being,&#8221; another protester screams, referring to the 2020 presidential election. &#8220;It&#8217;s gonna be like this forever, wherever you go, for the rest of your life.&#8221;
Graham was called a &#8220;piece of s***&#8221; and chants of &#8220;traitor&#8221; and &#8220;audit our vote&#8221; broke out among the Trump supporters.
Following the breach at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Graham declared his &#8220;journey&#8221; with President Donald Trump over.
“I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it,” Graham <a href="https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article248331565.html#storylink=cpy">said</a>. “From my point of view, he’s been a consequential president. But today, first thing you’ll see. All I can say is, count me out. Enough is enough. I’ve tried to be helpful.”
<div>
“He’s the legitimate president of the United States,” the senator added. “I cannot convince people, certain groups, by my words. But I will tell you by my actions that I, above all others in this body need to say this, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are lawfully elected and will become the president and vice president of the United States on Jan. 20.”
</div>
&#8220;Lindsey Graham just made the mistake walking by me and a mass of angry patriots at the airport in DC,&#8221; Robinson captioned the video of the airport incident. &#8220;All America wants is for you to AUDIT OUR VOTE and purge this election of this massive corruption&#8230;and you won’t do it. We’re not letting this &#8216;slide&#8217; so expect more of this.&#8221;

On Friday Graham tweeted, &#8220;As President [Donald Trump] stated last night, it is time to heal and move on. If Speaker Pelosi pushes impeachment in the last days of the Trump presidency it will do more harm than good.I’m hopeful President-elect Biden sees the damage that would be done from such action.&#8221;
&#8220;Speaker Pelosi is hanging by a political thread, and Senator Schumer lives in fear of a primary from the radical left. It is up to President-elect Biden to step in and allow the nation to heal,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Any attempt to impeach President Trump would not only be unsuccessful in the Senate but would be a dangerous precedent for the future of the presidency. It will take both parties to heal the nation.&#8221;
