In the wake of the political assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, prominent right-wing figures moved quickly to assign blame. Utah Sen. Mike Lee pinned the killings on “Marxism.” Elon Musk pointed to the “far left.” Donald Trump Jr., the president's son, said it “seems to be a leftist.”But the facts quickly told a different story: The suspect, 57-year-old Vance Boelter is a Trump supporter who held radical anti-abortion views. “There's an entire right-wing media machine aimed at pushing disinformation around breaking news events and specifically attributing violence to the left,” says Taylor Lorenz, independent journalist and author of “Extremely Online: The Untold Story of Fame, Influence, and Power on the Internet.” “You see this over and over and over again, no matter who is perpetrating the violence.” “The reality is that the vast overwhelming majority of political violence in recent years has come from the right,” adds Akela Lacy, The Intercept's senior politics reporter. “It basically treats that fact as if it's not real, as if it doesn't exist,” she says — a dynamic that then fails to address the root causes.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jordan Uhl talks with Lorenz and Lacy about how online disinformation is distorting public understanding of major events — from political violence to immigration to potential war with Iran. In this chaos-driven ecosystem, the right — and Trump especially — know how to thrive.You can hear the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.

Independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin talks to Margaret Hoover about his race against Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee, which could potentially determine which party controls the chamber. Although he is a lifelong conservative and he has vowed not to caucus with either party if he wins, McMullin's bid to unseat Lee has the backing of Utah's Democratic Party. He explains how he built a cross-partisan coalition that has made this Senate race the state's most competitive one in decades. McMullin, who ran for president as an independent in 2016 with Sen. Lee's support, discusses Lee's evolution into a loyal ally of former President Donald Trump. He also lays out his argument that Lee betrayed the Constitution by trying to overturn the 2020 election—even if Senator Lee ultimately voted to certify the results on January 6th. McMullin addresses Utah Sen. Mitt Romney's decision not to endorse either candidate in the race, former Vice President Mike Pence's support for Lee, and whether America needs a new political party to compete with Democrats and the GOP.

On today's Breitbart News Daily, we begin with a quick recap of Alex's Independence Day weekend - he makes the case that middle, regular, old America does not share the same negative world view of this country as most of the people who run our big cities. He reads some awful tweets and headlines from the media class to illustrate. Then, he breaks down Pres. Joe Biden's take on Independence Day. Biden announced that America isn't doing all that great (he takes no responsibility for this, of course) and that gas stations must lower gas prices *NOW* because hey, President Joey says so. Then we give some of the details on the Highland Park, IL Independence Day parade shooting. It was horrible, in every sense of the word, including how the media is dealing with it. Utah Sen. Mitt Romney (R) seems to be trying to egg on Donald Trump to the point where the former President runs again. And finally, we have an epic "Woke Update" today, which includes a description of shocking video footage we have up at Breitbart News of a particularly debased, fetishistic "pride" parade that somehow garnered more corporate sponsors than a typical NASCAR driver. Scary, but important. Our first guest today is retired Navy SEAL Derrick Van Orden, who is running for Congress in Wisconsin's 3rd district. Then, we speak to Randy Clark, a former Border Patrol agent who is now an integral part of Breitbart News' Border and Cartel Chronicles initiative.

Mike Lee worked on early efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, revealed in text messages obtained by the House panel investigating the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, drew quick condemnation Friday from his reelection challengers. Text messages between the Republican senator and then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows detail how Lee encouraged top Trump advisers to embrace Sidney Powell, a Republican lawyer who later spread wild and baseless claims of a rigged election - and said she owned a Kraken. Lee's messages are the latest example of high-profile Republicans pushing Meadows to challenge the election results. Last month, The Washington Post and CBS reported that Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, also texted Meadows repeatedly imploring him to act to overturn the 2020 election. (Recall, the solitary judge to vote to NOT release Presidential records - including his wife's complicity - was Justice Thomas.) YAY

Sen. Mike Lee found himself at the center of controversy late last week as numerous texts between him and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows were released by CNN. The messages revealed just how involved the senator was in trying to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election.

The sight of Sen. Mitt Romney, who was the GOP nominee for president just nine years ago, getting booed by Utah Republicans was “just terrible,” says longtime political pundit Chris Matthews.“I don't understand it. He didn't do anything wrong,” Matthews told the Tribune on this week's Utah Politics podcast. “He's been a Republican all his life. He's tough on taxes. He's tough on big government. He's the classic conservative.”Romney was showered with catcalls by Republican delegates at the state convention last month after he voted twice to remove former President Donald Trump from office in a pair of Senate impeachment trials.Matthews, the former host of Hardball on MSNBC and author of the new book This Country: My Life in Politics and History, says the GOP has changed so drastically since Romney lost the 2012 election that they've come unmoored from what they used to stand for.“What do they (Republicans) believe in as policy? Are they a party of free trade? No more. Are they a party of fiscal responsibility? No more,” he said.Mathews blames Trump for leading the GOP astray.“Trump says those aren't his concerns. Sometimes I wonder what Trump really cares about. I don't know what Trump really thinks about anything,” Matthews said.He began his career in Washington working for the Capitol Police, which gives him a unique perspective on the attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in January.“Trump refused to say he lost. That's the chivalrous, patriotic thing to do, and Trump refused to do it,” Matthews said. “In politics, if you lose, you admit it. It's a hard night, and you have to do it. That's a big part of American politics. It's not in the Constitution, but it's what you do,” he says.Matthews also discusses his time working for Utah Sen. Frank Moss, the last Democrat in the U.S. Senate from the Beehive State and his departure from his television show.

Utah Sen. Mitt Romney was loudly booed by Utah Republicans at their state convention last week. It was an astonishing development given he was the party’s presidential nominee less than a decade ago. We’re joined this week by political strategist Mike Madrid, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project and the former political director of the California GOP. He says the Republican base is radicalizing, mostly because of former President Donald Trump. That change will have profound impacts on our politics, and will likely lead the party to political ruin. Madrid also says the Democratic Party is not immune to radical elements, which is leading both parties away from the political center. Mike Madrid on Twitter: @Madrid_MikeSubscribe to the podcast for free here.
