Kyrsten Sinema’s anti-war activist past under scrutiny as she runs for Senate (CNN)
Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema’s past ties to far-left groups are resurfacing as she campaigns to win Arizona’s Senate race against her Republican opponent, Rep. Martha McSally.

CNN host Don Lemon on Thursday invoked Kanye West’s deceased mom to castigate the rapper’s Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump, saying she was “rolling over in her grave.”
West, who was wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, sat with Trump at the Oval Office desk and chatted in front of reporters and photographers for more than 10 minutes, praising the president and saying the cap made him feel like Superman.
The music artist and entrepreneur was invited to the White House for lunch with the president, former NFL star Jim Brown, and Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and top adviser. Manufacturing, prison reform and gang violence were all topics on the afternoon’s agenda.
West’s performance didn’t impress Lemon, prompting him to rant on CNN for several minutes about how West was embarrassing himself and that he needed to get help. [Read More]

“This is such a blitzkrieg of blathering ignorance on one level,” Dyson said to MSNBC host Ari Melber, “and I say this as a man who loves Kanye West, who admires his genius, and who considers him a friend. But I beg him, I plead to him- Kanye, cease the interventions through media of trying to engage issues in which you don’t have sophisticated comprehension and knowledge.” [Read More]

Tuesday of this week, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana was confronted by a pair of protesters, one of whom demanded an apology. This protester wasn’t content to ask for an apology for herself, instead, she demanded one for her children who were sitting quietly in a stroller. [Read More]
