After former President Donald Trump denied pledging never to "come back" to Minnesota if he lost it in 2020, KSTP news anchor Tom Hauser swiftly fact-checked him on live television.

Hauser reminded Trump of his previous promise to “never come back to Minnesota” if he lost the state to President Joe Biden in that year’s election.

He asked:

“I think at one point you vowed never to come back to Minnesota after you lost the state in 2020. Is this a signal that you think you have a realistic chance to win the state of Minnesota in 2024?”

Trump responded:

"Well, I never said I'd never come back. I never even thought of that. I thought I won [the state] in 2020 easily."

But KSTP had the receipts, as they cut to footage of Trump's appearance at a 2020 rally in the city of Duluth.

At the time, Trump did indeed say:

“If I lose Minnesota, I’m never coming back, I don’t care. I’m never coming back.”

Hauser also made clear that Trump lost the state by 7 points in 2020.

You can watch their exchange in the video below.

Trump was called out for his latest lie.








Hauser interviewed Trump the same day that Trump hosted the Republican Party of Minnesota's Lincoln Reagan Dinner at St. Paul's RiverCentre alongside House Majority Whip Representative Tom Emmer, who is Trump's campaign chair in the state.

During the dinner, he vowed to turn Minnesota red and claimed that if he wins the presidency, he will order the construction of an Iron Dome missile defense system over the country with "much of it being built in a place called Minnesota."

Trump criticized Minnesota's absentee and early voting processes, claiming it "gives them more time to cheat," despite there being no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the state.

The crowd burst into thunderous applause and gave him a standing ovation when he announced he would cut off funding to any school teaching critical race theory—graduate-level study that Republicans have falsely claimed is being taught in primary schools—or enforcing a vaccine mandate.

TikToker Hilariously Identifies Exact Brand And Shade Of Eyeliner J.D. Vance Wears In Resurfaced Video

Casey, an eagle-eyed TikToker who posts videos under the username @mamasissiesays, had social media users buzzing in a resurfaced video from last year investigating whether Vice President JD Vance actually wears eyeliner. At the very end of the video, Casey even shared that she believes she found the exact shade he prefers.

Casey posted the video amid intense rumors about Vance's eyeliner use. An investigation by Slate implied that Vance’s long eyelashes and hooded eyelids likely create some conveniently placed shadows. His wife, Usha Vance, confirmed to Puck News that his look was “all natural,” and admitted that she's "always been jealous of those lashes.”

Single MAGA Women Complain That D.C.'s Conservative Dating Scene Lacks 'Masculine' Men—And We're Cackling

Social media users pounced with jokes after MAGA women spoke to the Washington Post and the New York Times about the lack of "masculine" men in Washington, D.C., which is hilarious for a party pretty much obsessed with the way "real men" act.

The notion that masculinity is being attacked–namely by the left wing–is a popular one among Republicans such as Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, who once accused "the Left" of hurting "the future of the American man" and went on to claim the "deconstruction of America begins with and depends on the deconstruction of American men."
