Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:
- According to a report from Nick Corasaniti and Jonathan Weisman of The New York Times, “long-shot presidential candidate has filed a lawsuit in state court seeking an injunction to keep Mr. Trump off the ballot” in New Hampshire’s presidential primary. The lawsuit argues that has been disqualified “from the ballot under the 14thAmendment” following his actions on January 6th, 2021. You can read the full story here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/30/us/politics/trump-14th-amendment.html
- In response to claims Donald Trump is disqualified from office under the 14th Amendment, The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes of the questionable legal theory: “they assert that Mr. Trump’s actions after the 2020 election amount to an insurrection and that this is self-evident. Mr. Trump’s behavior was reprehensible, as we noted at the time and have since. But that’s far from saying it was an insurrection or rebellion under the statutory or constitutional meaning of those terms.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-14th-amendment-donald-trump-panic-election-ballot-constitution-amendment-candidate-president-fb3d65?mod=opinion_lead_pos1
- While appearing on MSNBC with Jen Psaki, Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said he believes the U.S. Supreme Court will ultimately have to decide whether Donald Trump is ineligible to be president under the 14th Amendment.
- While appearing on ABC’s This Week, former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile compared the Donald Trump “movement” to the political movements ignited by Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama.
- On Labor Day, President Joe Biden spoke at the 36th annual Tri-State Labor Day Parade and Family Fun Festival in Philadelphia—referring to himself as “Middle Class Joe” and accusing Donald Trump of viewing the world “from Park Avenue.”
