“It was easy to come out as trans, it was harder to come out as a Republican,” said Caitlyn Jenner, earlier today, at the RNC’s “Big Tent” LGBT brunch held by the American Unity Fund. No shit, Shirley.
Last night, as CNN’s cameras panned to Eric and Ivanka Trump, who were sitting together in a VIP box watching their half-sister Tiffany give a touching speech about a man who’s been like a father to her, a familiar-looking pate flashed by. Was it Walter Palmer, the dentist who murdered Cecil the Lion, or someone else…
“It’s the most anti-LGBT platform in history,” said Gregory T. Angelo of the 2016 Republican Platform, which was released in its entirety on Monday. That’s quite an admission coming from the president of the best known gay conservative group in the country, the Log Cabin Republicans. Indeed, this year’s…
The Azure Rooftop Lounge sits atop a twelve-story luxury hotel, and because this is Cleveland, not Manhattan, those twelve stories get you a practically unadulterated view of the city and surrounding areas. Long after the open bar had closed at BuzzFeed’s “Red White and Blacklisted” RNC party last night, a fellow…
As you might imagine, for Barack, running for president is nothing compared to that first game of basketball with my brother, Craig.
Tonight, shortly after the conclusion of the second night of the Republican National Convention, the Twitter account of noted political satire program The Daily Show pointed out what appeared to be evidence of Donald Trump Jr. lifting a portion of his speech from an article published in the American Conservative, just…
One day after a two members of the women-led anti-war grassroots organization Code Pink were kicked out of the 2016 Republican National Convention shortly after a male attendee tried to rip a banner reading “Refugees Welcome” out of one of their hands, yet another activist was affronted by GOP supporters while holding…
Welcome to evening two of the Republican National Convention, where Ben Carson will be sewing Chris Christie’s head onto Mike Pence’s body and Tiffany Trump is allowed the rare opportunity to be seen with the rest of her family as she delivers her very first campaign speech. We’ll be coming to you live from Cleveland…
CLEVELAND — Earlier this week, Infowars radio host Alex Jones slammed Karl Rove for refusing to answer a few simple questions. Except now, Alex Jones is using the same shameful evasive maneuvers that so sickened him before. Alex—why are you so scared of Gawker’s questions about Pokémon Go?
Who ultimately inserted Michelle Obama’s words into Melania Trump’s convention speech? At the root, there can only be two options:
CLEVELAND — “Art creates conversation,” Julian Raven, a painter from upstate New York tells me. Raven, an alternate delegate and true Donald Trump believer, drove the print of the original 8' x 16' painting from his Elmira studio which apparently has a 25-foot Trump banner hanging outside of it. He’s standing on a…
Are you currently at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland? Are you suffering from symptoms of norovirus? Shoot me an email here—I’d love to chat. But please don’t touch me.
CLEVELAND — Cleveland prepped for a deluge of protestors at the RNC, and its bike cops have been storming the streets in full force. But so far, the various packs of law enforcement haven’t actually had all that much to do. Which is probably why, last night, a dozen or so cops surrounded a girl armed with nothing more…
CLEVELAND — Donald Trump’s noted disdain for members of the press, particularly those of us who happen to be women, has apparently inspired a dress code for woman journalists at the Republican National Convention. Jezebel has learned that at least one woman journalist covering the convention was warned by an RNC…
Have pity on a group of California GOP staffers in Ohio who have been vomiting uncontrollably from both ends of their bodies, not because of the plagiarism and open racism at the convention, but because of an apparent outbreak of norovirus.
Welcome to ConBag, a daily roundup of gossip from the Republican National Convention, which we are attending for four very long days.
First Lady hopeful Melania Trump has been under fire ever since she just so happened to repeat (nearly word for word) parts of Michelle Obama’s convention speech from 2008 last night. Now, Melania is left with the task of proving her credibility. And the Trump campaign isn’t making her job any easier.
Chris Christie, a glutton for punishment, among other things, has come to Melania Trump’s defense by helpfully pointing out that something like “93 percent” of her speech wasn’t plagiarized.
The Trump campaign today issued an incredible denial over Melania Trump’s clearly plagiarized speech so demented there’s no way it came from anyone but themselves.
