Donald Trump is persuaded by Tucker Carlson to endorse Senate candidate J.D. Vance over Josh Mandel based on genitals and sexual antics. John Iadarola and Ana Kasparian break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Tucker Carlson Pushed Trump to Endorse J.D. Vance With ‘Disgusting’ Sexual Innuendo - https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rollingstone.com%2Fpolitics%2Fpolitics-features%2Ftucker-carlson-trump-vance-sexual-innuendo-1343899%2F "In the days before Donald Trump endorsed J.D. Vance in Ohio’s Republican Senate primary, the former president huddled with his son, Don Jr., and several staffers at Mar-a-Lago. On the phone was Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a major ally of Vance’s. After promising Trump that Vance was with him on the issues despite the candidate’s past anti-Trump comments, Carlson — according to three sources familiar with the matter — turned to a lurid closing argument. “You can’t trust” David McIntosh, the president of the conservative Club for Growth and a top backer of Vance’s rival Josh Mandel, Carlson claimed. McIntosh had just concluded his own phone call with Trump during that same midday meeting. The reason, Carlson asserted, is that McIntosh has an embarrassing and “chronic” personal sexual habit." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Shortly after Elon's successful bid to buy the social media giant -- well -- conservatives on the platform all of a sudden, out of nowhere, enjoyed a massive bump in followers and interactions. For example, in just two days, Donald Trump Jr. -- wow, magically -- he got 200,000 new followers. That is roughly 2000 percent increase daily. Wow. It's almost as if Twitter employees lifted a broad anti-conservative, anti-Trump shadow ban, which we all knew was taking place, anyway, in an effort to cover their tracks before the new boss takes over. Now, Twitter claims that there's nothing nefarious at play here, but they've said that all before.

In the run-up to the 2020 election, the legendary performer played the future 46th president as a sunglasses-wearing badass, ready to return to the White House and kick out Donald Trump. Luckily that’s exactly what wound up happening. Still, Carrey’s interpretation had plenty of detractors, though to some he was so convincing they think he really is Joe Biden. As per Yahoo! News, Jason Selvig of The Good Liars — a comedy duo who, like Jordan Klepper, roam the country, getting Trump supporters to say the craziest things — struck gold: a Trump supporter who believes Biden is dead and being played by other people." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

He has so far dithered on that promise, and instead has extended the moratorium on debt repayments multiple times.
