"WATCHING FROM HOME, at first it was hard to say which moment in Donald Trump’s rally at a Phoenix megachurch on Tuesday was the ugliest. Was it when the president of the United States repeated the racist joke he told last weekend in Tulsa, calling Covid-19, the viral disease that emerged in China last year, the “Kung Flu;” or was it a spilt second later, when thousands of his young supporters erupted in cheers?
The president’s attempt to divert attention away from his botched pandemic response, which has cost tens of thousands of Americans their lives, by inciting racist resentment against the nation where the virus jumped from animals to humans, is deeply ugly. As is the fact that thousands of Republican student activists, packed tightly together inside, ignoring social distancing and mask-wearing, responded with thunderous applause.
But there was something even more disturbing about the incident that was not immediately apparent on the live broadcast. Video recorded from inside the packed Dream City Church by the photojournalist Nick Oza revealed that Trump and his fans had shared a moment of call and response hatred in the build up to the joke. "

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will defeat former longtime CNBC correspondent and anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera in a Democratic primary election on Tuesday for New York's 14th Congressional District, CNN projects. The district, which includes parts of the Bronx and Queens, is heavily Democratic and considered to be a reliably blue seat. It was formerly held for years by veteran Democrat Joe Crowley, who Ocasio-Cortez defeated in a major upset in the 2018 midterm elections. Ocasio-Cortez, who has in her first term in office become a national progressive icon, had significant advantages in the race, including strong national name recognition, devoted supporters and significant fundraising. She had raised more than $10.5 million, an amount that vastly exceeds the fundraising totals of any of her challengers." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Eliot Engel — the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee — in the New York primary. “Eliot Engel — and I’ll say his name once — used to say that he was a thorn in the side of Donald Trump,” Bowman said in a de facto victory speech on Tuesday night. “But you know what Donald Trump is more afraid of than anything else? A black man with power.” Despite a last-ditch effort to save the hawkish Democrat, including an endorsement by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Bowman came away with a 24-point lead early Wednesday in the primary for New York’s 16th Congressional District — which includes portions of the Bronx and Westchester County, and the town of New Rochelle — pending mail-in ballots. Pro-Israel groups also scrambled to save the 16-term incumbent, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on his reelection, including a TV ad that attacked Bowman for failing to pay some of his state taxes over the years. This was Engel’s first competitive primary challenge since 2000." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Reagan Escudé told spectators at the Students for Trump event that a 'leftist mob' was trying to 'erase the legacy' of the freed slave Nancy Green who first played the character in the 1890s. The Aunt Jemima brand was scrapped after 130 years last week amid the cultural reckoning unleashed by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. " #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Utah and Texas have high enough infection rates to warrant this new quarantine advisory, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. Residents of those states are not being barred from coming to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, so Wednesday's action is largely advisory. "We've taken our people ... though hell and back," New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy told reporters, via a remote feed in a briefing hosted by Cuomo in Albany. "This virus is risky enough on its own, in terms of the potential to flare back up.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

John Lewis, D-Ga., the civil rights icon. The petition to rename the bridge was created by political strategist Michael Starr Hopkins, who told NBC News on Monday that the idea came to him as he was watching the 2014 film "Selma" on his couch after days of protesting. "I was kind of taking an evening to just relax and watch some movies, and as I was watching 'Selma' I realized we wait far too often until people are gone to honor them," Hopkins said." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
