Greenland PM slams upcoming visit from Usha Vance as ‘very aggressive’ provocation: report

Greenland PM slams upcoming visit from Usha Vance as ‘very aggressive’ provocation: report

Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede described second lady Usha Vance’s upcoming visit to his country as a dangerous and “very aggressive” provocation during a recent interview with a national news outlet in Greenland.  The visit by the second lady, one of her sons and an accompanying U.S. delegation was announced by the White House on Thursday. Per the announcement, Vance will spend the trip visiting historical sites, learning about the country’s heritage, and attending Greenland’s national dogsled race. Trump’s national security advisor, Michael Waltz, will also visit the arctic country this week as part of the delegation traveling with the second lady, according to sources familiar with the trip.    “We are now at a level where it can in no way be characterized as a harmless visit from a politician’s wife, which is a prospect. Because what is the security advisor doing in Greenland?” Egede questioned in an interview with Greenland news outlet Sermitsiaq. “The only purpose is to show a demonstration of power to us, and the signal is not to be misunderstood. [Waltz] is Trump’s confidential and closest advisor, and his presence in Greenland alone will certainly make the Americans believe in Trump’s mission, and the pressure will increase after the visit.” GREENLAND GOVERNMENT CALLS TRUMP’S ACQUISITION TALKS ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ Egede’s condemnation of the trip from U.S. officials follows repeated calls by President Donald Trump for the U.S. to annex Greenland. Trump has stressed the importance of Greenland for national security purposes.  “I think it will happen,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office earlier this month during a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. Greenland is currently undergoing a political shift after Egede’s left-wing party was defeated in elections earlier this month by the center-right Demokraatit party, which is pushing for independence from Denmark – Greenland’s current governing authority. The leader of the new party in charge has expressed disdain for Trump, calling him “a threat to our political independence,” according to NPR.      GREENLAND’S OPPOSITION PARTY PUSHES CLOSER US TIES, INDEPENDENCE FROM DENMARK AS TRUMP PLAYS BIG IN ELECTION During an interview with Sermitsiaq, Egede called on Greenland’s “allies” to step up and do more than just “whispering that they support us” against the U.S.’s threatened encroachment.  “If they do not speak out loudly about how the USA is treating Greenland, the situation will escalate day by day, and the American aggression will increase. So, we need our other allies to clearly and distinctly come with their support and backing for us,” he said.  Egede added during the interview that Greenland has done “everything” to show that “through [the United States’] continued pressure they are violating us as a population and our sovereignty,” adding that the visit from Vance and Waltz represented a dangerous and “very aggressive” provocation in the ongoing saga. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP In preparation for the visit by Vance and other U.S. officials, Danish police have deployed extra security forces, as is typical any time high-level diplomats visit the country, per media reports.  Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and the second lady for comment, but did not receive a response in time for publication.

New report sounds alarm on ‘staggering’ amount of foreign money pouring into US universities

New report sounds alarm on ‘staggering’ amount of foreign money pouring into US universities

FIRST ON FOX: A new report from a nonprofit and nonpartisan government watchdog is shedding light on the tens of billions of dollars that have poured into U.S. universities in recent years, including $20 billion to some of the most prestigious universities in the country.  The report, produced by Americans for Public Trust and released this week, found that $60 billion in foreign gifts and contracts were funneled into American colleges and universities, including $20 billion alone to elite schools like Harvard, Yale, and others.  Within that total, $795 million came from nations that are long-standing adversaries to the United States, including China, Russia, Venezuela and Yemen. “Alarmingly, many of these schools are also top research universities that handle sensitive information and intellectual property,” the study states. DESANTIS SAYS FLORIDA RETURNED $878M IN TAXPAYER FUNDS TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AFTER MEETING WITH MUSK, DOGE The report amplifies concerns that this money is coming into American universities with strings attached and peddling influence from foreign actors overseas.  “For far too long, a staggering amount of foreign money has flowed into our colleges and universities with little to no transparency or oversight,” Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust, told Fox News Digital.  UNIVERSITY DOCTOR RESIGNS AFTER UNEARTHED AUDIO EXPOSES HIM BOASTING ABOUT SKIRTING ANTI-DEI LAWS “Much of these foreign funds can be traced back to countries that have well-established adversarial relationships with the United States or engage in direct or indirect malign activities against our country. It is no coincidence that, in the same time period, we’ve seen a rise in anti-American demonstrations and radical ideas being cultivated at these institutions. Elected leaders need to take action to crack down on reporting lapses at these institutions to increase accountability and raise public awareness about the entities and individuals influencing these institutions.” Anti-Israel protests have erupted on college campuses across the country in recent years, and the report states that threat in 2024, “some of the schools that received the most Qatari money included Ivy League members Harvard and Cornell Universities.  The report also documents concerns about money from China pouring into Ivy League institutions.  “The effects of monies flowing into college campuses from China are dangerous and widespread,” the report states. “In 2024, China poured over $175 billion into U.S. schools, and the historic breadth of this vast enterprise cannot be understated; Americans for Public Trust has already previously uncovered nearly $130 million in Chinese funding to the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania alone over a roughly five-year period.” The study concludes that measures need to be taken to ensure foreign influence is not prevalent at American schools, including the passage of the DETERRENT ACT, which would “deter bad actors from attempting to buy influence, conduct espionage, and sow propaganda and discord across the United States via our higher education system.”

Trans European travelers warned by their countries about US travel amid Trump ‘two-sexes’ order

Trans European travelers warned by their countries about US travel amid Trump ‘two-sexes’ order

Several European countries have updated their travel advisories for transgender travelers seeking to enter the U.S. amid President Donald Trump’s “two-sexes” executive order and the administration’s immigration crackdown. Finland, Denmark, the U.K. and Germany are all urging cautionary planning for transgender people when traveling to the U.S. “When applying for an ESTA or visa to the United States, there are two gender designations to choose from: male or female,” the Danish travel advisory said on its website. JUDICIAL HALT OF DEPORTATION FLIGHTS PUTS US FOREIGN POLICY AT RISK, CAREER STATE DEPT OFFICIAL CLAIMS The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is the system that screens passengers before they travel to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program. “If you have the gender designation X in your passport, or you have changed your gender, it is recommended that you contact the U.S. Embassy prior to travel for guidance on how to proceed,” the website reads. Finland also updated its website in recent weeks. “If the gender listed on the applicant’s passport does not match the gender assigned at birth, the US authorities may deny the application for a travel permit or visa,” Finland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on its website. HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED DURING TRUMP’S NINTH WEEK IN OFFICE The new advisory does not explicitly mention the Trump administration, but it comes as the U.S. State Department aligned its policies with President Trump’s goals of only having “male” or “female” on American passports. According to an advisory on its website, Germany issued a warning for transgender travelers to exercise caution when traveling to some countries, but it did not explicitly state the U.S. or mention President Trump. “For example, transgender travelers may encounter difficulties entering certain countries if they present a passport with a name and photo that no longer corresponds to their gender identity,” their information for LGBTQ travelers states. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TELLS FEDERAL JUDGE IT MIGHT INVOKE STATE SECRETS ACT ON HIGH-PROFILE DEPORTATION CASE So far, seven transgender Americans have sued the Trump administration over the policy, which the American Civil Liberties Union filed on their behalf in February.  Trump signed the executive order titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government” in one of his first actions in January. It reiterates that the administration recognizes there are only two sexes, male and female, defined strictly by biological characteristics determined at conception. It mandates that federal agencies enforce this binary understanding of sex across the federal government, including in healthcare, education and military service. Trump has also faced judicial pushback for his nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration as he carries out his mass deportation program targeting anyone living in the country unauthorized.  Fox News Digital has reached out to the State Department and White House for comment.

Trump charges ahead with agenda in week 10 as judges try to block his executive orders

Trump charges ahead with agenda in week 10 as judges try to block his executive orders

President Donald Trump begins the 10th week of his fast-paced second term in office with a Cabinet meeting on Monday.  The question on many people’s minds is whether DOGE chief Elon Musk will be in attendance.  In the previous meeting, it was reported that discussions were tense between Musk and some Cabinet members, particularly between Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, over DOGE’s broad and deep cuts. Rubio and Trump both denied these claims. The Cabinet meeting comes against the backdrop of White House attorneys going to court on various aspects of the president’s second-term agenda on issues like the removal of illegal immigrants, slashing the federal workforce, cutting foreign aid, his executive order banning transgender soldiers in the military and allowing transgender Americans to have passports with alternate designations than the binary “male” and “female” genders assigned at birth. FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT DOGE, EVEN AS THEY SEE NEED FOR CUTS WHO IS JAMES BOASBERG, THE US JUDGE AT THE CENTER OF TRUMP’S DEPORTATION EFFORTS? Also on Monday, Trump will appear with Louisiana Republican Gov. Jeff Landry. Trump appointed Landry to the Council of Governors last month. Landry recently praised the president’s near elimination of the federal Education Department, saying, “The United States spends the most on education, yet we are ranked at the bottom of nearly every poll. The time for change is NOW! Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for returning education where it belongs – the states!” In the wake of the Trump administration’s dismantling of USAID, advocates are calling for Trump to extend the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which was launched by President George W. Bush and is scheduled to expire on Tuesday. The Bush Institute has urged the administration to reconsider cuts to the program. Bush previously said that the program has saved more than 25 million lives in developing countries, according to a Politico report. Trump will also be closely watching as U.S. negotiators are meeting separately with Russian and Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia this week. Trump spoke to both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin last week when a partial outline of a ceasefire was agreed to. GREENLAND GOVERNMENT CALLS TRUMP’S ACQUISITION TALKS ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP On Thursday, Trump is sending a team from his administration to Greenland, including second lady Usha Vance and national security advisor Mike Waltz. Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute B. Egede is not offering a welcoming hand to the U.S. delegation, calling the trip “highly aggressive”.  “What is the national security advisor doing in Greenland? The only purpose is to demonstrate power over us,” Egede said. On Sunday, Vice President JD Vance told Fox News, “So you have to ask yourself: How are we going to solve that problem, solve our own national security?”  “If that means that we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland, that is what President Trump is going to do, because he doesn’t care about what the Europeans scream at us,” he continued.

SCOOP: House to hold hearings next week on ‘activist judges’ blocking Trump agenda

SCOOP: House to hold hearings next week on ‘activist judges’ blocking Trump agenda

FIRST ON FOX: The House Judiciary Committee is expected to hold a hearing early next week looking into the issue of “activist judges,” three people familiar with discussions told Fox News Digital. It comes as the Trump administration has faced more than a dozen injunctions from various district court judges across the country on a range of policy decisions. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, confirmed on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” that he intended to hold such hearings minutes after Fox News Digital reported on the news. Jordan also said he expects a House-wide vote next week on a bill by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., to block district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions.  Two sources said they expected that vote next week or the week after, but one source stressed that conversations were still ongoing. That comes as some conservatives push for impeachment as a way to punish judges blocking Trump’s agenda.  A resolution by Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, has seen some attention from House GOP leadership after Trump specifically called for the judge in question – U.S. district court Judge James Boasberg – to be impeached. Boasberg issued a 14-day emergency injunction on Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport suspected Tren De Aragua gang members to a prison in El Salvador. The White House is now locked in a legal standoff over the order. But two sources also told Fox News Digital last week that Trump showed interest in Issa’s bill as well, telling Capitol Hill aides that “the president wants this.” Gill told Fox News Digital when he introduced the bill earlier this month that he hoped it would go through the regular committee process, but it’s not clear if those plans have changed given House leaders’ inclination toward Issa’s bill. However, if any conservative who has filed an impeachment resolution – Reps. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., and Eli Crane, R-Ariz., in addition to Gill – classified it as “privileged,” it would force House GOP leaders to take it up within two legislative days. Two sources told said last week that House leaders were wary of the impeachment route given the intense political maneuvering such a measure would take – only for it to likely die in the Senate. Jordan praised Issa’s bill during his Fox News television interview on Monday, though his office did not immediately return a request for comment.

EXCLUSIVE: GOP moves to authorize Trump to wage war on cartels through military force

EXCLUSIVE: GOP moves to authorize Trump to wage war on cartels through military force

EXCLUSIVE – Congressman Greg Steube, R-Fla., is introducing a resolution today to empower the Trump administration to “take a sledgehammer” to the cartels by authorizing the president to use the “full force of the American military” against nine of the largest migrant criminal groups that have been wreaking havoc on American cities.   One of the criminal groups included in the resolution is Tren de Aragua – also known as “TdA” – which is an international gang tied to the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley as well as the violent takeover of at least one apartment building in Aurora, Colorado, last year. The group is also suspected of having ties to Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro.  The resolution authorizes President Donald Trump to unleash the American military on Tren de Aragua, MS-13, the Sinaloa Cartel and several other gangs, which it says have “violated the territorial integrity of the United States” and present “a clear and evident danger” to the American people. It states that over 110,000 Americans per year died of opioid overdoses during the height of the border crisis under the Biden administration. It further says that the targeted cartels “engaged in and permitted the occurrence of terrorism, outrages upon personal dignity, and the extrajudicial execution of innocent peoples in the United States.” BLUE SANCTUARY STATE OPERATING AS ‘CONTROL’ CENTER FOR VICIOUS MIGRANT GANG: ACTING DEA CHIEF “Whereas ensuring the territorial integrity, national sovereignty, and protection of the American people against all enemies, foreign and domestic, is of the utmost responsibilities entrusted upon the Armed Forces,” the resolution reads, “The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as the President determines necessary and appropriate against the covered cartels, any forces directly coordinated or affiliated with any covered cartel, and any successor organization or forces to any such covered cartel.” This comes after the Department of State – at the direction of an executive order signed by Trump on his first day in office – designated Tren de Aragua and seven other groups as “foreign terrorist organizations.” CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE The order stated that these groups “present an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States,” and invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEP) to declare a national emergency to “deal with those threats.” “It is the policy of the United States to ensure the total elimination of these organizations’ presence in the United States and their ability to threaten the territory, safety, and security of the United States through their extraterritorial command-and-control structures, thereby protecting the American people and the territorial integrity of the United States,” read the order. ‘ON NOTICE’: EX-VENEZUELAN MILITARY OFFICIAL APPLAUDS TRUMP’S ‘FIRST GOOD STEP’ TARGETING BLOODTHIRSTY GANG Speaking with Fox News Digital, Steube – who is a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence – explained his resolution, saying, “These are not ragtag bands of low-level lawbreakers but organized criminal enterprises that profit off death and addiction.”  CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE “We can no longer ignore the deliberate invasion of Mexican drug cartels into our neighborhoods and communities,” he said. “Far too many innocent people have suffered at the hands of the cartels.”  “Until such time that the Mexican government finally steps up and squashes the drug cartels who use Mexico as their home base, Congress must give President Trump and Secretary Hegseth the green light to take a sledgehammer to these criminal networks and their supply chains,” he went on. “My joint resolution will authorize the Trump administration to use the full force of the American military against the nine largest drug cartels operating out of Mexico.”

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to how Congress may try to discipline judges who rule against Trump

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to how Congress may try to discipline judges who rule against Trump

Congressional Republicans are searching for a way to discipline or rein in federal judges, whom they believe have exceeded their authority.  House Republicans will have to wrestle with a push by some conservatives to impeach judges who have ruled against President Donald Trump.  Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, has drafted an article of impeachment for Judge James Boasberg over his suspension of some deportations. REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: IMPEACHAPlOOZA IS HERE TO STAY  Some conservatives are pushing impeachment for Boasberg and several other judges they believe exceeded their authority.  The House Republican leadership does not want to deal with impeachment, and it’s unclear if the House would ever have the votes to impeach. Conservatives could try to go over the heads of the GOP brass and put impeachment on the floor by making the resolution privileged. However, Republican leaders could try to euthanize that effort by moving to send the impeachment articles to committee. Thus, the vote is on the motion to send the articles to committee, not on impeachment.  BUSH DOJ LAWYER WARNS TRUMP ADMIN AGAINST ‘TERRIBLE MISTAKE’ IN JUDICIAL STANDOFF That said, the administration appears to prefer a remedy offered by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. Issa’s bill would limit the scope of rulings by these judges.  Moreover, it’s unclear that the House would ever have the votes to impeach, and even if they did, a Senate trial would end without conviction. It takes 67 votes to convict in an impeachment trial. 

ICE nearing historic deal with IRS to aid in deportations: report

ICE nearing historic deal with IRS to aid in deportations: report

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are nearing an agreement that would permit ICE to access taxpayer information to locate illegal immigrants subject to deportation. A historic agreement would allow ICE to submit the names and addresses of illegal immigrants to cross-check against IRS tax records, a shift in longstanding IRS policy aimed at keeping taxpayer information strictly confidential, according to a report in the Washington Post. The current draft agreement, obtained by the Washington Post, would limit ICE to confirm the addresses of illegal immigrants who have final removal orders, while Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and acting ICE Director Todd Lyons would be the only two people authorized to submit requests to the IRS. COURT ORDER HALTING DEPORTATION FLIGHTS ‘UNCONSTITUTIONALLY IMPEDES’ EXECUTIVE BRANCH, TRUMP ALLIES ARGUE The draft agreement language authorizes address verification on individuals “subject to criminal investigation” for violating immigration law, taking advantage of a narrow exception to IRS privacy laws that allow for the use of taxpayer data to aid criminal investigations. The report notes that some veteran IRS officials have expressed concerns about the agreement, arguing that the narrow exception was meant only for criminal investigations and not for immigration enforcement. The officials also worry that the policy will hinder tax collection from illegal immigrants, who are still subject to federal taxes despite being in the country illegally. The IRS has for years given illegal immigrants assurances that their tax information is confidential, the report notes, a policy that has helped them collect over 5 million tax returns from undocumented migrants.  JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TELLS FEDERAL JUDGE IT MIGHT INVOKE STATE SECRETS ACT ON HIGH-PROFILE DEPORTATION CASE The news comes as President Donald Trump has continued to ramp up the deportation effort he promised on the campaign trail, with the president attempting to use every available resource in order to aid immigration officials. Longtime IRS employee Doug O’Donnell, who was serving as acting IRS commissioner last month, abruptly resigned after 38 years of working for the agency after rejecting a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) request for dates on more than 700,000 illegal immigrants. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP O’Donnell was replaced by Melanie Krause, whom the report notes has shown more willingness to partner with DHS. The agreement between the IRS and ICE has yet to be finalized. Neither agency immediately responded to a Fox News Digital request for comment.

Stacey Abrams-founded nonprofit faces crackdown threat from House GOP’s top tax writer

Stacey Abrams-founded nonprofit faces crackdown threat from House GOP’s top tax writer

FIRST ON FOX: The House of Representatives’ top lawmaker on taxation is urging the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to revoke the tax-exempt status of a nonprofit linked to former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. The Abrams-founded group, New Georgia Project, was recently fined $300,000 for violating state election laws in a ruling by the Georgia Ethics Commission. House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., called it “the largest penalty in the Ethics Commission’s history and possibly the largest ethics fine ever issued in the United States” in his letter to IRS Commissioner Melanie Krause. The commission unanimously charged the New Georgia Project with failing to disclose more than $4 million in campaign contributions and more than $3 million in expenditures while backing Abrams’ failed 2018 gubernatorial campaign. ‘WASTEFUL AND DANGEROUS’: DOGE’S TOP FIVE MOST SHOCKING REVELATIONS “As you know, under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), organizations are strictly prohibited from participating in or intervening in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office,” Smith wrote. “The IRS may revoke an organization’s tax-exempt status or assess excise taxes for certain types of violations if it determines the organization is noncompliant as it relates to political campaign intervention.” Abrams founded the New Georgia Project in 2013 to help boost voter registration efforts in the Peach State. However, she has not been involved with the group since 2017, and Smith pointed out that groups registered as 501(c)(3) nonprofits are prohibited from participating in or advocating for specific political candidates. TRUMP TO SIGN EXECUTIVE ORDER INSTRUCTING AGENCIES TO HUNT DOWN REGULATIONS THAT VIOLATE CONSTITUTION The New Georgia Project’s affiliated group, the New Georgia Project Action Fund, is able to endorse candidates, but donations are not tax-exempt. “The New Georgia Project’s intervention in the 2018 election cycle in support of Stacey Abrams and other candidates’ campaigns amounts to a clear violation of their tax-exempt status,” Smith wrote. “The GSEC’s findings show that the New Georgia Project has participated in activities and events outside of the organization’s tax-exempt purpose and should therefore lose its tax-exempt status and be reclassified as an ‘action organization.’” Smith conceded that such nonprofits are allowed “to engage in certain nonpartisan voter education activities that do not constitute prohibited political campaign activity, including public forums and publishing voter education guides,” but argued “it is clear that the New Georgia Project crossed the line into prohibited activity by intervening in the 2018 election cycle on behalf of Stacey Abrams and several other candidates.” “I request that you use your authority to make this referral a priority and make certain the IRS moves quickly to examine and revoke the tax-exempt status of the New Georgia Project,” he wrote. Fox News Digital reached out to the New Georgia Project and the IRS for comment but did not hear back by press time. New Georgia Project attorney Aria Branch told NBC News at the time of the commission’s ruling, “While we remain disappointed that the federal court ruling on the constitutionality of the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Act was overturned on entirely procedural grounds, we accept this outcome and are eager to turn the page on activities that took place more than five years ago.”

Grassley, 91, waves and smiles to booing, cursing protesters

Grassley, 91, waves and smiles to booing, cursing protesters

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley was captured on video waving and smiling to booing protesters who were chanting “stand up to Trump” and repeatedly yelling “f— you!” outside of his town hall event.  Footage posted on social media showed the 91-year-old Republican grinning and waving his arms as he waded into a hostile crowd that gathered outside the Franklin County Courthouse in Hampton on Friday.  “Stand up to Trump! Stand up to Trump!” the crowd could be heard chanting as Grassley exited the building following the event, flanked by two men who appeared to be security members.  An irate woman could then be heard yelling “traitor!” and “f— you!” over and over toward Grassley, who at one point gives a double thumbs up in response to the reaction.  ‘CHAOS AND CONFUSION’: HOW DEMOCRATS INFILTRATED ‘THUNDEROUS’ GOP TOWN HALLS  Grassley eventually stepped into a waiting vehicle as the crowd continued to boo and jeer him.   More than 100 people attended the town hall event, during which Grassley was asked questions on topics including tariffs, annexing Canada and the future of Social Security and other federal programs, according to Radio Iowa.  GOP REP SOUNDS ALARM OVER DEMOCRATS ‘INCITING FAR-LEFT ACTIVISTS’ AFTER PRIVATE LUNCHEON PROTEST TURNS PHYSICAL  “Well, I think you can draw the conclusions, I win by landslides, but I don’t win by 100% of the vote, so having people disagree with you is what democracy is all about,” he was quoted by the outlet as saying.   The incident happened following other recent protests at Republican town hall events, including one in North Carolina two weeks ago during which a man who identified himself as a veteran stood up and started shouting at Rep. Chuck Edwards, yelling “you don’t give a f— about me!” before being escorted away by police.  “I just watched our GREAT Republican Congressman from North Carolina, CHUCK EDWARDS, hold a Town Hall in Asheville. He was a total gentleman, but the room was ‘littered’ with Radical Left Lunatics, mostly Democrats, and all they did was scream, shout and use filthy language,” President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social yesterday. “They were largely paid agitators, with fake signs and slogans, and were only there to make TROUBLE! Chuck put up with it, and was WONDERFUL!”
