Fans were quick to remind the singer that she advocated for the billionaire businessman, 63, who previously opposed abortion . "You supported an anti-abortion mayoral candidate in the last 30 days," one person tweeted, while sharing a screenshot Perry's June 5 tweet, which read: "RICK CARUSO FTW [for the win]!" A second user said: "You wouldn't know it from all the ads, but Rick Caruso is a Republican anti-abortion candidate. He has done a great job creating a misleading image of himself for voters. Please pay attention and look into candidates' backgrounds." "Hypocrite," another simply wrote. Newsweek reached out to Perry for comment.

CNN Grills Sanders Campaign Over Socialism. They Respond By Quoting Shakespeare, Making False Claims. | The Daily Wire
Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) campaign responded to criticisms from CNN over its socialist platform late this week by quoting Shakespeare and making a false claim. Nina Turner, national co-chair of the Sanders campaign, made the remarks during a segment on CNN’s “Newsroom,” which featured fallout from this week’s Democrat debate on NBC. CNN’s Brooke Baldwin said, “There’s this new ‘Wall Street Journal’/NBC News poll that found that two-thirds of the respondents said that they were actually uncomfortable with a socialist president.” “But when you break it down – Shakespeare once said, what is in a name? A rose by any other name smells just as sweet,” Turner responded. “What is Democratic socialism? It is government of the people, by the people, and for the people. What does that mean?” “I am talking about this particular poll,” Baldwin responded. “And I want to – I want an answer on the fact that the majority of America is not comfortable with a … [Read more...] about CNN Grills Sanders Campaign Over Socialism.

Rihanna Hits Trump: ‘I’m Trying To Save The World, Unlike Y’all President’ | The Daily Wire
Musical talent Rihanna, real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty, took a shot at President Donald Trump for apparently failing to save American lives from the China-originated novel coronavirus, unlike her. Asked by an impatient fan about her next album, the singer responded, “If one of y’all motherf***ers ask me about the album one more time when I’m trying to save the world, unlike y’all president, [we will fight] on sight,” according to E! News . Rihanna did not specify precisely how she is saving the world, however. “We’re winning the battle, we’re winning the war,” President Trump told the American people in an Easter message posted Sunday. “We’ll be back together in churches right next to each other. Celebrate. Bring the family together like no other. We have a lot to be thankful for.” On Saturday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, an influential voice on the White House coronavirus task force, said that the United States was fed “misinformation” about the transmission of COVID-19 “right from … [Read more...] about Rihanna Hits Trump: ‘I’m Trying To Save The World, Unlike Y’all President’ | The Daily Wire
Biden Endorses Trump’s China Travel Restrictions — Two Months Late | The Daily Wire
Presumed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden now backs restrictions on travel from China — two months after President Donald Trump put them into place to stem the spread of the coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China. Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said on CNN on Friday that the former vice president “supports travel bans that are guided by medical experts, advocated by public health officials, and backed by a full strategy.” “Science supported this ban, therefore he did, too,” Bedingfield said. On Jan. 30, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global health emergency of international concern. The same day, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the first time confirmed person-to-person spread of the Wuhan virus and applauded WHO’s decision. And also that same day, Trump created the White House Coronavirus Task Force to coordinate U.S. efforts regarding the new disease. The next day, on Jan. 31, the president declared … [Read more...] about Biden Endorses Trump’s China Travel Restrictions — Two Months Late | The Daily Wire
