North Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Cheri Beasley had the perfect response to a graphic Fox News personality Sean Hannity shared on his program detailing her "extremism."

Hannity appeared to be running a campaign ad for Beasley—the opposite of what he was going for.


An onscreen graphic listed her support for reproductive rights, expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which aims to curb inflation by reducing the deficit, lowering prescription drug prices and investing in clean energy.

To that, Beasley offered the following succinct response:

"No notes."

Beasley called on her supporters to help her campaign in the lead-up to November's midterm election.

Beasley is vying to fill the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Senator Richard Burr. Burr is a Republican who served as North Carolina's Senator since 2005.

She is neck-and-neck in her race against GOP candidate Ted Budd—former President Donald Trump's pick.

Many cheered Beasley's response to Hannity's smear campaign.

They noted they actually quite like her "extremist" positions.



Beasley served as an Associate Justice on North Carolina's Supreme Court from 2012 to 2019, when she was promoted to Chief Justice. She had previously served on the North Carolina Court of Appeals and as a district court judge in Cumberland County, North Carolina.

In March 2021, The News & Observer reported Beasley had decided to enter the race for the Senate seat being vacated by Burr. She launched her campaign the following month and won her state's Democratic primary the month after that.

Budd, her Republican opponent, served as a Representative for North Carolina's 13th congressional district since 2017 after he defeated Bruce Davis, a former Guilford County commissioner, in the general election.

Budd is a member of the Freedom Caucus, considered to be the most conservative and furthest-right bloc within the House Republican Conference.

A favorite of Donald Trump's, Budd was one of 147 Republican lawmakers who objected to the certification of electoral votes from the 2020 presidential election even after a mob of Trump's supporters attacked the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Budd continued to promote Trump's "Big Lie" the election was stolen.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
