A host from MSNBC on Saturday feuded with Donald Trump’s former intelligence officer Richard Grenell, who is reportedly now acting as a “shadow secretary of State” for the former president. It started with a video of MSNBC's Alex Wagner reporting on Kash Patel, the former Chief of Staff to Trump's Secretary of defense. According to the report, he promised to go after people in the media, and is being considered for Attorney General in a potential second term for Trump . Wagner called Patel's consideration as head of the DOJ "the most alarming detail" in a recent report about a second Trump presidency. ALSO READ: A criminologist explains why keeping Trump from the
White House is all that matters Conservative podcaster Benny Johnson shared the video of Wagner's broadcast on
Social Media, writing, "MSNBC is panicking over the possibility that Trump might pick Kash Patel to be Attorney General," with a laughing emoji. Grenell, who Raw Story recently reported on in connection with his international affairs on Trump's behalf, shared Johnson's post and tagged Wagner with a caption that says, "Stop Asian Hate." In a separate post, Grenell wrote, "Far Lefties always get away with being racist." "Watch how [Wagner] goes out of her way to show her outrage that Kash Patel is being considered for AG 'OF THE
United States.' She’s so condescending that it’s the U.S. Watch for yourself." Wagner then took it upon herself to reply. "Oh Rick. Did you not know that I’m ASIAN AMERICAN?" the news host asked. "This is so embarrassing for you." She added, "But not more embarrassing than having an utterly unqualified fascist in the running for Attorney General of the United States." Donald Trump's former White House advisor Stephen Miller was exposed by an investigative journalist on MSNBC on Saturday. Miller, who directed Trump's border policy during the ex-president's term in office, has since then be waging his own private war against diversity and programs promoting inclusion. But he wasn't always like that, according to investigative journalist Jean Guerrero. Guerrero, the author of " Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda ," appeared on MSNBC to profile the man behind Trump's border agenda.

"His vision is a white nationalist America and this agenda you described is something he has been dreaming about for a very long time," she said. "In my book, I trace how he was radicalized as a teenager by far-right provocateurs who believe
racism against Black and brown people was not a problem and that the real problem in
American society was racism against whites." She continued: "This is an idea that originated with white supremacists like David Duke who in the 1970s was calling white men the 'real second class citizens in America.' But while back then, it was largely rejected and fringe; in 2024, it is mainstream GOP politics thanks to Stephen Miller." Watch the whole interview below or click the link here.

Democratic parliamentary speaker Peter Pellegrini has won the decisive second round of the presidential
election in Slovakia. With 99.8% of constituencies counted, Pellegrini was clearly ahead of liberal former foreign minister Ivan Korčok, who received just under 47% of the vote, the electoral commission has reported. Polls and initial partial results had suggested a closer result. The official final result should be available by midday (1000 GMT) on Sunday at the latest. Korčok conceded defeat to journalists in Bratislava and congratulated Pellegrini on his victory. CONTINUE READING Show less
Donald Trump recently bragged about a pair of his gold shoes selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there may be more to that story, according to a report. Trump released the golden sneakers in what was largely seen as his latest response to the massive legal judgments he has been getting peppered with in his various court cases. He received some laughter and mockery for his fundraising effort that included putting out the pair of gold high-top sneakers that cost hundreds of dollars. Soon after, Trump shared a Newsweek article titled, "Trump Sneakers 'Resold for $450,000 on eBay.'" ALSO READ: A criminologist explains why keeping Trump from the White House is all that matters But there is more to the story than meets the eye, according to Ben Meiselas, a lawyer and the owner of
Los Angeles Magazine. "Trump is bragging someone re-sold the ugly stupid sneakers he’s grifting for $450,000 and the media buys it hook, line, and sinker and gives him the headline he wants and he reposts," he wrote Saturday. "On closer inspection, it appears some MAGA troll listed the sneakers on an auction site for $450,000 the same way you can list anything for any price at all." He then added: "It didn’t sell at that amount. Everything Trump does is a scam, yet the media will publish anything he feeds them." Indeed, a close look at the Newsweek article reveals that the headline doesn't appear to be supported by the story. The quote from the headline, "Resold for $450,000 on eBay," isn't printed in the actual story's text. Instead, the story suggests that the shoes were listed for that amount and then sold, perhaps for some other total. "Donald Trump's golden sneakers are selling at hugely marked-up prices after their launch earlier this month, with one pair on the online auction site eBay listed for more than $450,000 having been sold," the February story states without further verification.
