Bitter crybaby Kennedy Center director Ric Grenell responded to Martina McBride’s statement backing out of the event with this post: “You’ve always been a woke lefty.”

… Right-wing podcaster Matt Walsh: “What a mess. They invited a bunch of washed up has-beens, and now even the washed up has-beens are bailing on them. Yet another reason why the right wing ‘get literally any famous person we can’ approach is retarded.”

… Conservative radio host Erick Erickson: “By Saturday, we’re going to be left with Jason Aldean and the J6 Choir as the star performers at this event.”

… WaPo: “The Pentagon is moving to recruit hundreds of troops to appear as spectators at President Trump’s UFC cage-fighting event on the WH lawn, and requiring those who attend to pay their own way and meet height and weight requirements.”

… HuffPost: “Trump purchased stock in the company that will receive a fortune in publicity thanks to his decision to promote an UFC event on the WH South Lawn next month. Trump purchased between $15,001 and $50,000 of stock of TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of UFC, on March 25.”

… Hillary Clinton posted: “This is what Trump's done to the people's house: A third of it is rubble. Another third is a cage match. What a metaphor.”

Tea and Homicide

Sen. Susan Collins, who is facing a firestorm of angry Mainers in the middle of her key election year, claims that she got Markwayne Mullin to change the policy: “I spoke with DHS Secretary Mullin last night and urged him to cease all non-urgent vehicle stops in the wake of yesterday’s deadly Biddeford shooting. I am encouraged that the Dept has agreed to do so.”

… “An impartial investigation into the shooting in Biddeford needs to proceed, as the details surrounding this tragedy are important. It is extremely unfortunate that the agent involved did not have a body-worn camera. In April, measures that I authored in the DHS funding bill became law, including $20 million for expanded use of body-worn cameras, $2 million for de-escalation training, and a 17% increase in the IG’s budget to investigate matters such as this shooting.”

… But Tom Homan was on Fox talking like this was just something they were going to do for a few days until things quieted down: “The officers involved in these shootings are well trained, I wouldn’t even call this a bump in the road. This will be a short term review, so ICE feels comfortable.”
