Jon Stewart Spots Nasty Trump Tactic During Debate

Evasive comments

A recent debate — Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris faced off in a recent debate, as reported by OK Magazine.

Opinions on the outcome have been widely mixed, but the general consensus across mainstream media is that Harris came out victorious. Comedian Jon Stewart gave a strong take on the debate while streaming to fans, expressing his strong distaste for Donald Trump.

The Capitol — Stewart commended Harris for her straightforward arguments, and was infuriated when Trump, in regards to the storming of the Capitol on January 6th, argued he “had nothing to do with that, other than they asked me to make a speech.”

Evasive comments — He criticized Trump for the evasive comments, in which Trump blamed Nancy Pelosi for the chaos and claimed he had no involvement beyond giving the speech. “You spent two months riling up your base, [saying] that our country had literally been stolen from them through fraudulent means, that you could never even get a whiff of in a court of law, and let yourself just abuse them. You pressed on. You abused their trust,” Steward said.

It will be wild — “You showed up for a speech?” Stewart added. “You [expletive] tweeted ‘Join me on January 6…’ ‘It will be wild!’”

False claims — Stewart pointed out that Trump had spent months inciting his supporters with false claims of election fraud and mocked him for trying to distance himself from the consequences.

The greatest refuge of scoundrels — “One thing will always be true, and it is the quality of the former president I respect the least: whenever he is cornered and forced to face even the smallest of consequences for his own mendacity and scheming, he reverts to the greatest refuge of scoundrels,” Stewart said.

Lack of accountability — He warned Trump’s supporters that their champion would abandon them in times of trouble, emphasizing that such a lack of accountability should disqualify him from leadership in any other country. “This man, who constantly professes to be your champion, who says they’re going to have to go through him to get to you, will always, when the boat is going down, be the first into the lifeboats, because in that moment, he will always say the same thing: ‘I didn’t know anything about it,’” Stewart said. “In any other country, that lack of accountability would be disqualifying.”

Critics Point Out Key Moment Trump Lost the Debate

Tomasky praised Harris

Trump Pressed — Kamala Harris delivered sharp critiques of Donald Trump in the recent presidential debate, specifically calling out Trump’s perceived weaknesses in topics such as abortion, foreign policy, and healthcare, as reported by OK Magazine.

Harris was praised for effectively challenging Trump on key issues while maintaining a calm demeanor. In contrast, Trump frequently interrupted and offered deflections, rather than answers.

Harris especially attacked his stance on the Affordable Care Act, claiming that he would eliminate it without a replacement plan. “I have concepts of a plan,” Trump said when pressed.

Michael Tomasky condemned — New Republic editor Michael Tomasky condemned Trump’s “concepts of a plan” comment, calling it one of the most embarrassing lines in debate history. Tomasky argues this is the point where Trump clearly lost in the debate. “While ‘I have concepts of a plan’ was the worst and dumbest sentence he uttered,” Tomasky said, “a close second would have to be, ‘Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.’ The only thing he left out of that sentence is that she plans to steer the catering contract to Comet Ping Pong.”

Concepts of a plan, — “I have concepts of a plan,” Tomasky said, “is going to go down in presidential debate lore as one of the most pathetic lines in debate history.”

Tomasky praised Harris — Tomasky praised Harris for her performance, noting that she effectively challenged Trump, while suggesting that Trump’s poor responses overshadowed her strengths.

Harris was really good — “Kamala Harris was really good Tuesday night — really, really good,” Tomasky wrote. “She accomplished everything she needed to accomplish. She sliced and diced him. She dangled bait, and he leapt at the hook. But as good as she was, Trump was more bad than Harris was good.”

Unappealing qualities — He warned that if Trump focuses on complaining about the debate moderators, it may further shed light his unappealing qualities as the election approaches.

Trump will turn it around — “Of course, there’s a chance Trump will turn it around,” Tomasky concluded. “But we may have just witnessed the beginning of a downward spiral that’s going to get weirder and worse over the next 55 days. Pass the popcorn.”

Kamala Harris Clarifies Her Stance On Guns, Slams Trump For ‘Continuous Lying’

Recent gun violence incidents

She plans to seize all firearms — In the recent presidential debate, Kamala Harris made it a point to address Donald Trump’s claim that she plans to seize all firearms if elected, as confirmed by OK Magazine.

Harris is known for her strong advocacy for gun control measures like universal background checks and assault weapon bans, which clash with gun rights supporters. This aligns with the Democratic platform in a highly partisan issue.

“This business about taking everyone’s guns away – Tim Walz and I are both gun owners,” Harris said. The disclosure wasn’t the first time Harris has spoken up regarding her gun ownership.

I am a gun owner — “I am a gun owner and I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do – for personal safety,” Harris said in 2019. “I was a career prosecutor.”

Stop with the continuous lying — She and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz both stated that they do not intend to take away anyone’s guns, emphasizing their commitment to preventing gun violence instead. “We’re not taking anybody’s guns away, so stop with the continuous lying about this stuff,” Harris said.

Second Amendment rights — “Kamala Harris and I are both gun owners. We’re not going to take away your Second Amendment rights – we’re going to prevent your kids from getting shot at school,” Walz said.

She keeps a handgun — Harris first disclosed her gun ownership in 2019, explaining that she keeps a handgun for personal safety due to her background as a prosecutor.

Stricter gun control measures — She has consistently advocated for stricter gun control measures, including renewing the assault weapons ban and universal background checks.

Recent gun violence incidents — Following recent gun violence incidents, Harris reiterated the need to address the “epidemic of gun violence” in the U.S. “Not only are Kamala Harris and Tim Walz law-abiding gun owners, as she says, but Donald Trump has had his guns removed from his possession because he is a convicted felon,” Rep. Jamie Raskin said.

Is Trump’s Mental State Deteriorating? Critics Weigh In

Sanitized by the press

Mainstream media — Critics say the mainstream media is hypocritical after regularly pointing out President Joe Biden’s gaffes while ignoring those of former President Donald Trump, as reported by OKMagazine.com.

At 77 years old, Trump faces serious concerns about his mental state, including worries about perceived impulsivity, narcissism, cognitive decline, paranoia, and emotional instability.

Humanitarian material — Some critics have raised concerns about Trump’s cognitive abilities, pointing to instances of verbal gaffes or confusion during speeches and interviews. Others say his often makes impulsive decisions and statements, particularly on social media, which they believe reflects a lack of self-control.

A coherent plan — During one speech in particular, Trump struggled to communicate a coherent plan for addressing child care costs, but the media framed his response in a way that downplayed the lack of substance.

Child care — “I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about — that, because look, child care is child care, couldn’t — you know, there’s something — you have to have it in this country. You have to have it,” Trump rambled.

Foreign nations — “But when you talk about those numbers, compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to. But they’ll get used to it very quickly. And it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us,” Trump said.

The disparity — The disparity in media treatment has raised questions regarding the seemingly different standards applied to various candidates.

Sanitized by the press — Critics noted that Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have faced consistently harsher scrutiny than Trump and his verbal missteps.

Trump Campaign Officially In Crisis Mode, Experts Claim

The hatches

Trump staffers — OKMagazine.com is learning that a confidential memo from Trump staffers recently surfaced, directing staff to refrain from speaking to the media without prior approval.

Recent polls indicate the race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is very close nationally. Harris enjoys a strong base of support, sparking concern among Trump staffers.

“Nothing says a campaign is in disarray quite like a Trump campaign staffer leaking an email about campaign leaks,” Democratic strategist Matt McDermott said. McDermott was one of several experts who spoke up on the deeper meaning of the memo.

The volunteer — Experts have interpreted the memo as a sign of a struggling campaign team. “The campaign has determined that New Hampshire is no longer a battleground state,” a volunteer recently wrote. Reportedly, the volunteer is no longer with Trump’s team.

Disinformation campaign — The memo coincides with a significant U.S. Department of Justice indictment involving allegations that pro-MAGA influencers were covertly funded by a Russian media company as part of a disinformation campaign.

Right wing circles — “Lots of people in right wing circles being warned by lawyers and bosses not to speak to the press right now. Journalists are trying to join dots. We’ll see how far they get,” media consultant David Clinch wrote.

The situation — Analysts have suggested that the situation could severely impact the Trump campaign, as many staff members may be implicated in the unfolding scandal.

Fifth Amendment — “Probably just advising them not to wave their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent by talking to the press (even on background) … Not like they’re worried about the Russian interference investigation or anything,” CNN’s Jeffrey Evan Gold wrote.

The hatches — “This is the political equivalent of Battening down the hatches,” Republican consultant Mike Madrid wrote. “The Russian story has long legs and a lot of people are gonna get sucked up in it. Everyone on the Trump campaign will be one-person removed from the people involved – or involved themselves. This could rip a campaign apart.”

I’m very fortunate but it’s also definitely difficult at the same time.”

Major Change

A Fact of Life — At a recent campaign event in Arizona, Sen. JD Vance, the 2024 Republican vice presidential nominee, came under criticism for his remarks regarding a school shooting in Winder, Georgia.
