The Conservative Cave

CBS News faced heat from the far-left Monday over a report about past comments Democratic Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed made about 9/11 ahead of the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attack.

"As the nation prepares to mark 25 years since Sept. 11, 2001, Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, may be facing the risk of renewed scrutiny and fresh political attack," CBS News wrote Monday.

The report cited El-Sayed's deleted social media posts, including some from 2020 comparing the nearly 3,000 Americans killed on 9/11 to the death toll from the coronavirus pandemic. Another post from Sept. 11, 2021, first uncovered by The Washington Free Beacon, read, "Today, I mourn the 3K lives, 6K injuries, & infrastructural devastation in NYC, perpetuated ignorantly in the name of my faith. Tomorrow, I'll mourn ~1M lives, millions of injuries, & infrastructural devastation in 3 countries, perpetuated ignorantly in the name of my country."

However, many of El-Sayed's supporters and other liberal critics expressed outrage linking El-Sayed to the forthcoming 9/11 anniversary.

"What an insane headline," far-left commentator Hasan Piker reacted on X. "This is why the [new Paramount owner David Ellison] bought CBS and put Bari Weiss in charge."

"Despicable anti-Muslim woke right garbage from the house CBS account," "The Bulwark" podcast host and MS NOW analyst Tim Miller wrote.

Spanberger gets called out on X for false claim about Trump executive order

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer issued a mea culpa Monday after he falsely suggested U.S. troops abroad would be impacted by the Trump administration's crackdown on mail-in voting.

On Friday's installment of "The Situation Room," Blitzer sat down with Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger to discuss the lawsuit the commonwealth filed alongside other blue states to block President Donald Trump's executive order from March to curb mail-in voting, which was slapped with a 14-day temporary restraining order last week by a federal judge.

"The continued attacks that we're seeing from the Trump administration is really just an effort to get people fearful, to get people to stay home, and, in many cases, to eliminate what is a valid, safe, secure way for people to be able to have their voices heard and to vote," Spanberger said.

However, Blitzer made a "quick note of clarification" at the end of Monday's program in reference to his exchange with Spanberger.

"We discussed legal challenges to the Trump administration’s directives for the Postal Service on mail-in voting. A comment I made suggested that U.S. military and overseas voters' ballots would be impacted by these directives. I want to be clear right now: those ballots are exempt from the Postal Service’s new rules implementing the president’s March executive order," Blitzer told viewers.

"Those groups are covered under the Uniformed and Overseas Absentee Voting Act, just to be specific on that point," he added.

WHAT HAPPENED: Secretary for Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin has attributed over 200 deaths caused by migrant trucker drivers to policies implemented by the Biden government.

DETAIL: Secretary Mullin accused the Biden government of enabling unqualified migrant drivers to operate 18-wheelers without proper testing. He attributed 239 deaths caused by migrant truck drivers to the Biden government’s policies. “These individuals are dangerous, and because of the failure from the previous administration, from the Biden administration, they’ve killed hundreds of people, and unfortunately injured thousands,” said Secretary Mullin during a press conference on Monday. When a reporter suggested that the number of deaths caused by unqualified migrant truckers was relatively small, the DHS chief pointed to an injured girl on the side of the stage and replied, “Are you saying one percent is okay? Because… Every single illegal that maims or kills an individual is 100 percent preventable. I’m trying to prevent every one of them. I don’t care if it’s a fraction of one percent—I’m coming after you.”
