Utah governor Spencer Cox has sparked criticism after he said Friday, September 12, that he had hoped Charlie Kirk's shooter "wouldn’t be one of us".  On Friday, it was announced that the suspect arrested for the a$$assination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old white man from a pro-gun family with parents who are registered Republicans.  Speaking at a press conference, Cox said while he was grateful for the quick arrest of a suspect in Charlie Kirk’s a$$assination, he had hoped the suspect “wouldn’t be one of us,” hoping it would be someone from another state or country.  He said he thought it would “make it easier” to be able to say, “We don’t do that here.”  “For 33 hours, I was praying that if this had to happen here that it wouldn't be one of us — that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country… Sadly, that prayer was not answered the way I hoped for… But it did happen here, and it was one...

Donald Trump says he’ll sue New York Times for $15bn for defamation

Image
US President Donald Trump said Monday September 15, that he is filing a $15 billion “defamation and libel lawsuit” against the New York Times.   “The New York Times has been allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame me for far too long, and that stops, NOW!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, adding that the lawsuit was being brought in Florida. Trump described the paper as a “virtual ‘mouthpiece’ for the Radical Left Democrat Party” and accused it of lying about his “family, business, the America First Movement, MAGA, and our Nation as a whole.” He provided no evidence to support the claims. The Times recently reported that Trump had threatened legal action over articles concerning a lewd birthday note allegedly given to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The U.S. president has, however, denied writing the note. In July, Trump sued media mogul Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal for at least $10 billion after it published an article about his friendship with Ep...
