Even though it’s been four years since their Democratic primary battle, Hillary Clinton’s feelings about Sen. Bernie Sanders haven’t changed.

Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work […]

Donald Glover is throwing his support behind Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang. On Wednesday afternoon, Glover took to Instagram to announce a pop-up event hosted in collaboration with the Yang campaign.

The already crowded democratic field has added one more candidate. On Sunday, Michael Bloomberg announced his presidential bid. In a letter on his campaign website, Bloomberg explains that he’s “a doer and a problem solver” that is focused solely on President Trump.  “I’m running for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America.

Joe Biden attended a ceremony two years ago to have Brown-Burton-Winchester Park in Wilmington, Delaware renamed as the Joseph R. Biden Jr. Aquatic Center. Biden claims he used to work there as the “only white lifeguard,” and in the summer of 1962, it was the location of his intense encounter with a gang leader named Corn Pop.  Biden’s retelling of that event has been […]

Andrew Yang said that he doesn’t believe recent Saturday Night Live hire Shane Gillis should lose his position over offensive remarks he made in the past, some of which were directed at the presidential hopeful.  After footage from Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast surfaced online of Gillis disparaging Asian Americans and calling Yang a “Jew […]

Donald Trump alleged that American Jews who voted for Democrats were being “disloyal” to the country of Israel.  Seemingly too stupid to realize the idea that Jewish people should be loyal to the country of Israel is anti-Semitic, Trump urged Jewish Americans to support the party that serves as a home for many racists and […]

Though Joe Biden has remained the frontrunner in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama has reportedly expressed concern over his VP’s bid and even suggested he forgo the race. “You don’t have to do this, Joe, you really don’t,” Obama told Biden early in 2019, according to a New York Times source. Insiders say Biden wanted to enter the 2016 […]
