Trump’s inner circle is blaming GOP strategist Kellyanne Conway for the bad press around Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).

In interviews with 20 Trump campaign staffers, allies, confidants, and advisers, with the Bulwark, more than a dozen people, unprompted, blamed Conway for the negative press coverage of Vance. They believe Conway is leaking damaging information to the press, portraying Trumpworld as questioning the pick of Vance. The rumors have reached, and are apparently believed by, Vance and his biggest ally in Trump’s camp, Donald Trump Jr.

“He’s p****d off about it. He knows it’s her,” a Donald Trump Jr. confidant told the outlet.

A confidant of former President Donald Trump said attacks against Vance from within the ranks of Trumpworld were “100% from Kellyanne.”

Conway was a leading figure in advocating against Vance as a running mate for the former president. She preferred Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) or Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), reportedly saying at a Fox News meeting before the pick that the former president would only “pick Vance over my dead body.”

Republican strategist Ryan Girdusky, citing the article, characterized Conway’s moves as a “smear effort” against Vance.

Conway denied the allegations in an interview with the Bulwark, deriding the dozen sources as “gossip girls” and jealous “ankle biters.”

“When it comes to concerned people questioning the vetting or selection of JD Vance, the calls are coming in, not going out,” she said. “I’m not calling them and saying this is bad. People are asking me. They’re not just asking me. They’re asking lots of people.”

The accusations are a departure from an unusually stable Trump campaign, which the report credits to the friendship of the leading triumvirate — Trump campaign senior advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita and strategist Tony Fabrizio. The former president’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns were plagued by leadership infighting and frequent leaks.

The insiders speaking with the outlet described the current period as more stressful than the Republican primary, the former president’s legal troubles, and even the assassination attempt.

The Trump campaign was put on the defensive for the first time since the June 27 debate after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee. She has since narrowed the polling gap with the former president.

The people responsible for the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh stored a bomb in the guesthouse in Tehran he was staying in for about two months before detonating it overnight into Wednesday, according to the New York Times.

Israel is widely believed to be responsible for Haniyeh’s assassination, though it has not taken credit for it. It largely does not take responsibility for covert operations carried out in enemy territory.

Haniyeh was in Iran to attend the presidential inauguration, and when he returned to the guesthouse in an upscale neighborhood in northern Tehran that is run and protected by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the perpetrators detonated the bomb remotely. The blast, which shook the compound, shattered some windows, caused the partial collapse of an exterior wall, and killed a bodyguard.

The Hamas leader, who was based in Qatar, had traveled to Tehran and stayed at the guesthouse several times.

The new details of Haniyeh’s death further demonstrate Tehran’s abject failure and the brazenness of the attack. It also demonstrates the extent of Israel’s ability to target enemies even within Tehran.

“Haniyeh was a guest of the Ayatollah, so it was quite a slap in the face and embarrassment to the regime, and shows, once again, the prowess of the Israeli intelligence and military,” former U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper told the Washington Examiner.

Overnight into Thursday, the Israeli military confirmed it had killed Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif in strikes earlier in July. The last remaining well-known Hamas leader thought to be tied to the Oct. 7 terrorist attack that ignited the current conflict is Yahya Sinwar. He is believed to be hiding underground in Hamas’s extensive tunnel infrastructure under Gaza.

Iran is deliberating how it should respond, and its retaliation could include proxy forces in the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, militias in Iraq, and the Houthis in Yemen.

There are concerns globally that the escalating situation in the Middle East could spur an escalation in the war between Israel and Iran and their proxies.

“We don’t believe that an escalation is inevitable, and there’s no signs that an escalation is imminent,” U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Wednesday.

After years of progress made under former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden has devastated economic growth and energy production in Appalachia. Gone are the days of pro-energy policies and a president who stood up for this region. Instead, the energy-producing communities that power our nation have seen their lights turned off, savings dwindled, and livelihoods crushed.

Under Trump, middle-class families saw their incomes increase by nearly $6,000, while wages for low-income and blue-collar workers increased by 16%. 

America also witnessed an energy independence revolution, becoming the No. 1 producer of oil and natural gas in the world and a net energy exporter for the first time in 70 years. Many of these gains were thanks to the Trump administration’s pro-growth policies, which brought newfound prosperity to Appalachia and other areas nationwide.

When Biden took office, much of our energy independence was lost due to his disastrous socialist economic agenda and Green New Deal policies. And Bidenomics created record inflation that forced people to make tough choices regarding whether to feed their families or fill up their gas tanks. 

Simply put, life is unaffordable under this administration. 

Combine this frustration with Biden’s rush-to-green policies, and the problems for Appalachia continue to mount. For example, Biden’s indefinite liquefied natural gas export pause has negatively affected our region. EQT, the largest domestic producer of natural gas, has warned that this decision will send a “chilling effect” to our region. 

But Biden’s war on the energy sector does not end there. We have seen coal-fired power plants shutter, job-killing regulations on steel manufacturing, and more than 200 executive actions making it harder to produce energy in places such as Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Clearly, this White House has forgotten the people of Appalachia and their needs. 

We’ve been working in Congress to do the opposite.

Even after being halted by far-left activists for nearly a decade, the Mountain Valley Pipeline was successfully completed this year after our efforts in Congress. This 304-mile pipeline is now in service and will usher Appalachia into a new era. The MVP has and will continue to stimulate the economies of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia with millions in royalties to landowners, including $150 million per year for Pennsylvania and $250 million per year for West Virginia, and direct investments into rural communities. At the height of its construction, the MVP also supported 15,000 good-paying union jobs.

Building on this success, we created the Congressional Appalachian Caucus, which promotes policies that will create jobs, strengthen our nation’s energy independence, and generate economic growth for the region. We have introduced bipartisan legislation to incentivize the capture of coal mine methane emissions. This will be used as an energy source and help clean our air. Coal has been a bedrock of Appalachia, and this effort will make sure it stays that way.

Additionally, recent studies have shown that the Marcellus Shale basin may hold up to 40% of our nation’s domestic need for lithium as a byproduct of fracking. We also know rare earth elements and critical minerals are found in acid mine drainage, mine tailings, and other coal byproducts. These materials are critical to our growing economy, and we should no longer be dependent on China for them.

Will the Biden administration and far-left Democrats hold our prosperity hostage with burdensome regulations? We won’t let that happen. The public can rest assured that our caucus will be at the forefront of holding the Biden administration accountable should it attempt to restrict and limit this incredible opportunity for these communities. 

The region has suffered enough under Biden’s anti-energy agenda — and we won’t let it continue. The Appalachian Caucus will ensure that the 26 million people who reside in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and other states are no longer forgotten.

Reps. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and Carol Miller (R-WV) are co-chairs of the Congressional Appalachian Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“I commend my friend @realdonaldtrump for going into a hostile environment at @NABJ today and answering tough questions,” Carson said in a post on X Wednesday.

Carson’s comments came shortly Trump’s appearance at the event, where he clashed with ABC News reporter Rachel Scott over what he called a “nasty question.”

“A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congresswomen of color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from. You have used words like ‘animal’ and ‘rabbit’ to describe Black attorneys. You’ve attacked Black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they asked are ‘stupid and racist,'” Scott said during a Q&A panel that included Semafor reporter Kadia Goba and Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner.

“You’ve had dinner with a White supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort. So, my question, sir, now that you were asking Black supporters to vote for you,” she continued. “Why should Black voters trust you after you have used language like that?”

The line of questioning did not sit well with Trump, who fired back that he had never “been asked a question in such a horrible manner.”

“You don’t even say ‘hello, how are you.’ Are you with ABC? Because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network. I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country; I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country,” Trump said.

The former president also caused controversy when asked if he believed Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman, with Trump claiming that the presumptive Democratic nominee chose to “turn Black” a few years ago.

“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage,” Trump said. “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black. And now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”

While Trump sparred with journalists at the event, Harris was notably absent, with the NABJ saying in a statement that it had difficulty coordinating her appearance with the vice president’s schedule.

“We were advised by her campaign at the time that her schedule could not accommodate this request. The last update we were provided (earlier this week) was that Harris would not be available in person or virtually during our Convention,” NABJ President Ken Lemon said in a statement. “We are in talks about virtual options in the future and are still working to reach an agreement.”

Carson also noted that Harris did not appear at the event, accusing the NABJ of doing “her bidding for her.”

“What time does VP Harris get to Chicago? That’s right, she didn’t show up because most of the ‘journalists’ in that room already do her bidding for her,” Carson said.

The NABJ did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.

Congressional Republicans are wary of using diversity, equity and inclusion politics to criticize Vice President Harris, with some urging former President Trump to stick to “the issues.”

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said Trump’s path to victory is through arguing the issues and not getting bogged down in racial politics. His comments came after Trump mentioned Harris’ race during an event with the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago.

“The campaign is, needs to be, must be about the issues, and there’s plenty to talk about. I just think that’s where the focus needs to be. That’s how we’re going to win in November,” Thune told reporters when asked about Trump’s remarks.

Trump appeared to crack jokes about Harris’ heritage during his remarks to the NABJ, expressing confusion about whether she was Indian or black.

“I’ve known her a long time indirectly. Not directly very much,” Trump said. “She was always of Indian heritage. And she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black. And now she wants to be known as Black.”

“This election … is going to be about policies, not personalities. This isn’t personal with regard to Kamala Harris,” Johnson said in a press conference last week.”Her ethnicity, her gender, has nothing to do with this whatsoever.”

Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., jumped on Trump’s comments almost immediately on Wednesday. 

“I’ll tell you what it’s not: It’s not surprising. This is who Donald Trump is. This is the politics of insult, of revenge and resentment and retribution, and I suspect we’ll hear that all the way until November,” he said.

“I think at the end of the day the people of America are going to reject that. They know what Kamala Harris represents,” he continued.

“Here’s a woman who is the daughter of a Jamaican man and an East-Asian immigrant mother. She went to Howard University. She’s married to a Jewish man,” Warnock added. “She embodies in her life story the American covenant, E Pluribus Unum, out of many, one. Donald Trump doesn’t understand that.

Former president and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is continuing his campaign to cement further Catholic support — warning that the faith is being targeted by the federal government.

Trump posted a message to his proprietary social media outlet Truth Social on Wednesday cheering on a recent campaign launched against Vice President Kamala Harris on behalf of Catholic voters.

“A large group of Catholics is launching a major Political Campaign against Crazy Kamala Harris. FINALLY! Catholics are literally being persecuted by this Wack Job, just ask the Knights of Columbus,” Trump wrote.

VIRAL CATHOLIC LEADER: CHRISTIANS MUST NOT BE ‘WEAK’ IN FACE OF OLYMPICS OPENING SPECTACLE

“They say that she is the most Anti-Catholic person ever to run for high office in the U.S,” the former president continued. “This respected group wants ALL CATHOLICS TO VOTE AGAINST KAMALA, and they are 100% correct.”

Trump was referencing a multimillion-dollar campaign launched by CatholicVote — the largest Catholic political activism group in the United States.

The group recently launched a multimillion-dollar campaign in heavily Catholic swing states to try to defeat Harris’ bid for the White House.

CatholicVote amplified Trump via social media platform X, thanking the former president for “bringing attention to our campaign.” 

“We’re proud to expose Kamala’s vile hatred of Catholics,” CatholicVote wrote. “Having a President who unapologetically brings this hatred to light is needed to combat religious bigotry.”

PRIEST AT TRUMP RALLY WHO GAVE BENEDICTION WARNED OF ‘PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SHOOT’ FORMER PRESIDENT

Not long after, Trump followed up with a more explicit endorsement, specifically naming CatholicVote and clarifying his remarks about the Knights of Columbus.

“CatholicVote.org is doing GREAT work getting Voters to the Polls — All Catholics should join this incredible cause! Crazy Kamala Harris is anti-Catholic,” Trump wrote later on Tuesday. “She attacked a Judicial Nominee for being a member of the Highly Respected Knights of Columbus! There should NEVER be a Religious Test for serving our Country. IN GOD WE TRUST!”

In 2018, Harris vilified then-federal judge nominee Brian Buescher’s membership in the Knights of Columbus during questioning. In her written questions to Buescher, then-Sen. Harris, in her preamble, called the KOC “an all-male society comprised primarily of Catholic men, led by Mr. Carl Anderson.” 

Harris asked Buescher, “Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman’s right to choose when you joined the organization? Did you agree with Mr. Carl Anderson that abortion is ‘the killing of the innocent on a massive scale?’ Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed marriage equality when you joined the organization?”

In previous comments to Fox News, Harris campaign spokesperson James Singer said on Monday, “Vice President Harris is proud to serve with the second Catholic president ever. Catholic voters are not defined by a single partisan organization, but by their values, communities, faith in each other, and love of our country — and Kamala Harris will fight every day to earn their vote.”

BIDEN ‘DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE CATHOLIC FAITH,’ BISHOP SAYS: ‘I’M NOT ANGRY AT HIM, HE’S JUST STUPID’

The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 by Fr. Michael McGivney to be a “mission of charity,” to help widows, orphans and the less fortunate. 

CatholicVote president Brian Burch, in a previous interview with Fox News, said, “Kamala Harris represents the most vile anti-Catholic threat of any leading candidate for president in American history. She is a candidate of the hard left. And her record and her words demonstrate a gross anti-Catholic bias and bigotry.”

Defenders of Harris have pointed out that she currently serves alongside President Biden, who routinely appeals to his Catholic identity at political rallies.

However, those appeals spark intense debate among the faithful about how much deviation from Catholic ethics on issues such as abortion and marriage can be excused before one is separated from the Church.

Trump’s running-mate, U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, converted to Catholicism in 2019.

When Vance was announced as the vice-presidential candidate at the Republican National Convention this month, many Democrats expressed concern at his Catholic-aligned views on social issues.

Trump has been acutely targeting Catholics and religious Jews in his 2024 campaign, usually addressing them as a pair of religious minorities whose interests he claims are compromised by the Biden administration.

The former president tagged Jews on at the end of his original Wednesday appeal to Catholics, writing: “P.S. Jewish people are treated even worse, if that’s possible. They are dropping Kamala and the Democrats like flies – And it’s about time!”

However, those appeals spark intense debate among the faithful about how much deviation from Catholic ethics on issues such as abortion and marriage can be excused before one is separated from the Church. Trump’s running-mate, U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, converted to Catholicism in 2019. When Vance was announced as the vice-presidential candidate at the Republican National Convention this month, many Democrats expressed concern at his Catholic-aligned views on social issues. Trump has been acutely targeting Catholics and religious Jews in his 2024 campaign, usually addressing them as a pair of religious minorities whose interests he claims are compromised by the Biden administration. The former president tagged Jews on at the end of his original Wednesday appeal to Catholics, writing: “P.S. Jewish people are treated even worse, if that’s possible. They are dropping Kamala and the Democrats like flies – And it’s about time!” Fox News Digital’s Lauren Green contributed to this report. , , , https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2024/05/931/523/Donald-Trump-RNC-retreat-Palm-Beach-FL-May-4-2024.jpg?ve=1&tl=1, Latest Political News on Fox News, Read all about the political news happening with Fox News.

FIRST ON FOX: A conservative Catholic nonprofit advocacy group is launching an ad campaign highlighting Vice President Kamala Harris’ immigration record that it says will be targeting 300,000 Catholic and Hispanic voters in the key swing state of Arizona.

“Raped, strangled to death,” the ad says in text overlayed onto photos of 11-year-old Maria Gonzalez who was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant in Pasadena, Texas, last year.

Juan Carlos Garcia-Rodriguez, the alleged killer who is also shown in the ad, illegally entered the United States from Guatemala in 2023 but was allowed to stay in the country via a sponsor in Louisiana.

“The murderer? An illegal alien released by the Biden-Harris administration,” the ad says.

BUTTIGIEG FACES GRILLING ON HARRIS’ IMMIGRATION RECORD: ‘LET’S GET REAL’

“In charge of the border for 3 years. Vice President Harris. Protect the vulnerable. Not Votes.”

The new ad, released on Wednesday as part of a six-figure ad campaign in the swing state of Arizona, is part of a digital and OTT effort by CatholicVote to highlight Harris’ record on the border after being appointed by President Biden to address the issue in 2021.

“Vice President Kamala Harris’ shameful mismanagement of the border is morally indefensible,” Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote, told Fox News Digital. 

BIDEN-HARRIS AIDED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND MADE AMERICANS PAY FOR IT

“Her failures have cost the lives of American citizens, while putting tens of thousands of vulnerable migrants at risk of rape, sexual assault, and exploitation. While cartels, sex traffickers, and drug dealers profit, real people, including children, are suffering. It’s clear that Kamala Harris has put politics and votes ahead of the lives of real people. Catholics are some of the most generous and welcoming citizens in America, but we are disgusted by this moral catastrophe.”

“Our country, and more importantly, the poor and vulnerable deserve a leader that will restore order and sanity to the border before another child is raped and strangled to death,” Burch added. “This ad campaign is only the beginning of our massive effort to expose the truth about Kamala Harris.” 

Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment but did not receive a response.
