Senator Thom Tillis Gloats in Response to Trump’s Comment on His Opposition to Ed Martin

Thom Tillis
Senator Thom Tillis gloated in response to President Trump’s comment on his opposition to Ed Martin.
During a swearing-in ceremony at the White House on Wednesday, a reporter asked President Trump about Senator Tillis’ decision to come out against Ed Martin.
On Tuesday Senator Tillis, who voted to confirm Biden’s radical pick for Attorney General Merrick Garland, told reporters that he opposes the nomination of Ed Martin for DC US Attorney.
Tillis made a shocking admission to reporters. He actually said he would support Ed Martin for any district except where January 6 happened.
In other words, Tillis admitted Ed Martin is qualified to be a US Attorney, but he’s potentially derailing Martin’s nomination for political reasons.
“I have no tolerance for anybody who entered the building on January the 6th, and that’s probably where most of the friction was,” Tillis said.
Tillis admitted Ed Martin was doing a great job with his investigation into Biden US Attorney Matthew Graves’ unlawful use of the 1512(c)(2) obstruction charge to lock up January 6 defendants.
However, he will be opposing Ed Martin’s nomination for political reasons.
“If Mr. Martin were being put forth as a US Attorney for any district except the district where January 6 happened, the protest happened, I’d probably support him, but not in this district,” Tillis said in a shocking admission to CNN’s Manu Raju.

Trump was unaware of Tillis’ opposition to Ed Martin for US Attorney for DC.
The President didn’t push back too hard on Tillis.
“Senator Tillis has come out against Ed Martin as US Attorney. Do you have any response to that?” a reporter asked Trump.
“Well, it’s disappointing because I know Ed and he’s very talented. Crime is down in Washington, DC – Street crime. Violent crime by 25% and people have seen they’ve noticed a big difference, so I didn’t know that but if he – if they vote against him, I feel very badly about it. Only in the sense that, in this short period of time that he’s been there, crime is down 25% in Washington, DC. But that’s really up to the Senators. If, if they feel that way, they have to vote the way they vote, they have to follow their heart and they have to follow their mind,” Trump said.

Tillis gloated.
“People don’t believe me when I say I think I have a good relationship with President Trump but I still think I have a good relationship with President Trump. I’m trying to watch his back,” Tillis said to CNN reporter Manu Raju on Wednesday evening.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.
A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.
Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.
She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.
The New York Post reports:
BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle
A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.
Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.
The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.
Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.
But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.
Just amazing.
Monica Cannon-Grant stole from donors, scammed the government, and lived it up while preaching about oppression. BLM grift is the only nonprofit where fraud is part of the mission statement. https://t.co/ir3q9lqYrh

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’
Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.
RedState has an update:
To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”
This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.
Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:
See Olbermann’s tweet below:
I apologize without reservation to @ScottJenningsKY
Yesterday I wrote and immediately deleted 2 responses to him about Kimmel because they could be misinterpreted as a threat to anything besides his career. I immediately replaced them with ones specifying what I actually meant. pic.twitter.com/SPWLb73nEk
— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) September 23, 2025
I oppose and condemn political violence, and the threat of it. All times are the wrong time to leave even an inadvertent impression of it – but this time is especially wrong
I should've acknowledged the deletion and apologized yesterday. I'm sorry I delayed.

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs
Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.
The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.
Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.
Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.
Robinson was charged with:
– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child
Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.
Read the text exchange here:

Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson texts with transgender lover Lance Twiggs / 2
Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.
“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”
The Daily Mail reported:
The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.
Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.
Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’
His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.
Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
