J.D. Vance lays into CNN host for 'disgusting' suggestion about his military record

Trump's VP running mate J.D. Vance got into a heated tussle with CNN host Brianna Keilar after she suggested he embellished his military record.

The anchor said on air that Vance's title was 'combat correspondent' while he was in the military.

'But when you dig a little deeper into that, he was a public affairs specialist, someone who did not see combat, which certainly the title ‘combat correspondent,' kind of gives you a different impression. So he may be the imperfect messenger on that,' she went on.

Vance fired back on X:

Brianna this is disgusting, and you and your entire network should be ashamed of yourselves. When I got the call to go to Iraq, I went. Tim Walz said he carried a gun in a war. Did he? No. It was a lie.

It comes as Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' running mate, faces heat for leaving his Minnesota National Guard unit two months before it received an order it would deploy.

Walz served for 24 years and became master sergeant in the Minnesota Army National Guard's 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery.

He retired in 2005 and his rank was reduced from command sergeant major because he didn't complete the coursework for the U.S. Sergeants Major Academy.

Kathy Miller, whose son, 19, was killed in Iraq serving in the military unit Tim Walz 'abandoned' told DailyMail.com this week that she will never trust Kamala Harris' VP pick who took the 'coward's way out,'

The Harris-Walz campaign corrected the record about Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz military record Friday evening.

His previous claims about serving in Afghanistan have prompted critics to say Walz has 'stolen valor' from those who actually were boots on the ground in the Middle Eastern country.

Walz, it should be noted, was deployed in Europe in support of operations in Afghanistan, but never set foot in the country himself in a military capacity.

'Governor Walz would never insult or undermine any American’s service to this country — in fact, he thanks Senator Vance for putting his life on the line for our country. It’s the American way,' the campaign spokesperson wrote in a statement.

'In making the case for why weapons of war should never be on our streets or in our classrooms, the Governor misspoke. He did handle weapons of war and believes strongly that only military members trained to carry those deadly weapons should have access to them, unlike Donald Trump and JD Vance who prioritize the gun lobby over our children,' they told NBC News.

Montana Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy was spotted hurling fast food at Donald Trump supporters waiting in line to enter the former president's Bozeman rally on Friday evening.

Sheehy, who is from the Bozeman area, has recently polled two points ahead of incumbent Democrat Sen. Jon Tester.

President Joe Biden described himself as a ‘transition president’ and spoke about coming to grips with his own age in a CBS interview.

‘When I ran the first time, I thought of myself as being a transition president,’ said Biden, 81, in an excerpt of an interview set to air in full on Sunday morning. ‘I can't even say how old I am – it's hard for me to get it out of my mouth.’

He spoke about his decision to step back and throw his support to VP Kamala Harris. ‘We must, we must, we must defeat Trump,’ he said.

‘Although it's a great honor to be a president, I think I have an obligation to the country to do what I – most important thing you can do. And that is — we must, we must, we must defeat Trump,’he said.

White House frustration with a lack of progress on ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas boiled over on Friday when spokesman John Kirby delivered an unusually strong rebuke to a hardline Israeli minister.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich earlier described a ceasefire proposal as a 'surrender deal.'

Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, accused him of not caring about the fate of hostages held by Hamas terrorists and said that President Joe Biden would not let 'extremists' push talks off course.

'Some critics, like Smotrich, for example, have claimed that the hostage deal is a surrender to Hamas, or that hostages should not be exchanged for prisoners,' he said on a briefing call with reporters.

'Smotrich essentially suggests that the war ought to go on indefinitely without pause and with the lives of the hostages of no real concern at all—his arguments are dead wrong. They're misleading the Israeli public.'

Donald Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump took her warnings over what would happen if Kamala Harris wins the 2024 presidential election to a new level as polls show a razor-thin race with less than three months to go before Election Day.

The Republican National Committee co-chair, who is married to Trump's son Eric, painted an extreme picture on Thursday on her podcast The Right View.

'Can you truly tell me that you're going to be able to look at your kids when we are actually in a recession, whenever we are actually in World War III, when things are dissolving around us and the country that we've always known is absolutely in shambles, and you're going to be able to look at your kids and say, yeah, I voted for this?' Trump asked.

President Joe Biden is laying low at his Rehoboth beach house Friday, ceding the spotlight to Vice President Kamala Harris.

Biden, who stepped back from his reelection run July 21st, arrived at his vacation getaway home late Thursday, after visiting his former campaign headquarters in Wilmington. (There were a few tears from staff, according to a campaign and another aide. Biden snapped selfies).

On Friday, Biden hunkered down at home, as Hurricane Betty brought stiff wind gusts but mostly spared Biden’s location as it brought flash flooding while making its way north.

The president sat for an interview with CBS Wednesday that is set to air on Sunday.

While he keeps a low profile, Vice President Kamala Harris is holding a campaign event in Arizona. It’s a formula that has Harris rising in the polls while Biden lowers his profile (he hosted the World Champion Texas Rangers on Thursday and received the presidential daily brief Friday morning).

A new poll out of North Carolina shows Donald Trump leading Kamala Harris by just three points in the battleground state with less than three months to go before the election.

North Carolina is a state Trump won in 2020 but Democrats are looking to flip in 2024 and have growing confidence in with Harris at the top of the ticket.

The Carolina Journal poll of likely voters has the Republican presidential nominee at 47.2 percent while Harris polls at 44.1 percent which is within the margin of error.

The same poll shows Democrat Josh Stein leading Republican Mark Robinson 42.6 percent to 38.2 percent in the governor's race.

The polling is similar in line with other polls out of the state with the Real Clear Politics average giving Trump a three point lead.

President Donald Trump was not happy to learn that podcaster Joe Rogan was praising one of his 2024 political rivals on his highly rated show.

'It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring???' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday afternoon.

Trump posted after Rogan tried to clarify on X.com that he was not making an offical endorsement in the 2024 race.

Joe Rogan RETRACTS comment on who he likes for president in 2024

Podcaster and stand-up comic Joe Rogan clarified who his top choice is for president Friday, after sparking anger from supporters of one of the leading candidates.

Kamala Harris has enjoyed a boost in the polls since replacing Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate for president and now voters have told Dailymail.com what they like and don't like about the vice president.

When asked for a word or phrase to describe the best thing about Harris, the top answers were that she is a 'woman' and that she is 'not Trump.'

Those two words dominate a word cloud of responses generate from an online survey of 1,054 likely voters conducted by J.L. Partners.

They show that Harris's gender is a firm selling point among American voters, even though she has avoided leaning into the historic nature of her candidacy in a country that has never elected a female president.

Other words include: Strong, competent, president, friendly and experience.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis scored a victory on Friday that she will be allowed to move forward with the case against rapper Young Thug, aka Jeffery Williams.

He and 27 others are charged for gang-related crimes under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO.

Some legal experts see the case as a warning for what Willis could face with the Donald Trump election interference case in Geogia, as he is charged under the same law.

The judge on Friday denied a motion from one defendant, Deamonte Kendrick, for a mistrial.

From Jon Michael Raasch in Bozeman, Montana:

The hit TV series Yellowstone has caused the Bozeman, Montana, police chief a litany of headaches since the show's debut.

Since its release in 2018, the show about a Montana family protecting their ranch near Yellowstone National Park has received an incredible reception, boasting millions of fans.

As a result, some decided to turn the show into their reality by moving to the area.

Bozeman Police Chief Jim Velkamp told DailyMail.com in an exclusive sit-down interview how the small town has grappled with a booming population. The most devastating outcome of the show's global success is the city's rising crime, he said.

'I think overall for us specifically with the city of Bozeman it's just the growth and the challenges released to growth ... that is our biggest challenge,' Velkamp revealed.

And that show, the police chief says, has directly fueled an increase in crime locally and added more work onto the department's already-full plate.
