Kelly defended her decision to feature "InfoWars" host Alex Jones on her NBC newsmagazine despite taking heat Monday from families of Sandy Hook shooting victims and others, saying it's her job to "shine a light" on newsmakers. Critics argue that NBC's platform legitimizes the views of a man who, among other conspiracy theories, has suggested that the killing of 26 people at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012 was a hoax.

Republicans: Want Donald Trump off Twitter? Fight for him then

Once again, prominent members of President Donald Trump's own political party have come out in full force to warn him to quiet down on the tweeting front. But here's a thought: If Republicans are so bent on getting Trump off Twitter, why don't they do some of the fighting for him?

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, latest leftie to f-bomb over Trump

John McCain, off rail, says Obama better than Trump

We know Sen. John McCain is no friend of President Donald Trump's -- but this is ridiculous. The Arizona senator, who says he's a Republican, actually came out and told a left-leaning overseas newspaper, the Guardian, that Barack Obama provided better leadership for America than Trump.

David Brock’s brag of successful ‘resistance’ a bit misplaced

David Brock, leftists extraordinaire and one of Hillary Clinton's biggest fans, said the left's summer of "resistance" against all-things-President Donald Trump, all-things-Republican, is moving along with great success. Except the example he cited actually shows how the "resistance" movement is floundering and failing.

Eric Trump — rightly — slams vicious left as ‘not even people’

Eric Trump, following in his father's footsteps, issued some blunt talk about the very vicious left and its very vicious hatred -- and now, predictably enough, his comments are being a bit skewed, no doubt, in order to drum up some of that vicious leftist hatred to generate even more anti-Trump headlines. Sigh. It's such a cycle of hatred we live in right now in America. Eric Trump is right.

Joe Scarborough makes a deranged case for Donald Trump to go

Joe Scarborough just can't help himself when it comes to criticizing President Donald Trump.
