After Wisconsin teenager Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of defending himself against violent rioters during the Jacob Blake riots in 2020, Ruffin slammed the jury and the \u201cracist\u201d judge supervising the case in a monologue for her \u201ccomedy\u201d program.

A new poll out offers maybe some insight into that feeling showing that Americans are split when asked which party cares most about their needs,\u201d Bolduan said to begin the segment before bringing Enten in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis to me is one of the most shocking pieces of poll data that I truly truthfully have seen this year or maybe in any prior year,\u201d Enten began, surprising Bolduan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCares more about the needs for people like you. We\u2019ve got a tie even after this tariff war had already started, split between Democrats and Republicans on how people feel which party cares more for needs of people like you. And why is that so surprising? Because I want you to take a look at prior years,\u201d Enten said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats always lead on this question. Back in 2017, before the 2018 midterms, 13- point lead. Two thousand five, a 23-point lead for Democrats. In 1994, which was a big Republican year, a 19-point lead for Democrats,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd now all of a sudden, a tie. All of a sudden, the Democrats, who were the party of the people, no more \u2014 no more. We get a tie on this question on a question that has traditionally overwhelmingly been a Democratic advantage \u2014 people for \u2014 party \u2014 which party cares more for the needs of people like you,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s truly something I would not have expected to see, especially after this tariff war had begun.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1911065802293334508&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativebrief.com%2Ftrump-skip-90863%2F&amp;sessionId=1eec59f720ad9d72a12ac343e52ea20d0278a52a&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1911065802293334508\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump has declared that he will not attend the annual White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner on April 26.
