Telling the Trump campaign directly was the problem—they needed to get Fox or someone else to make a video that they could watch on television.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
He never believed it. Not for a second.
What do people expect? He is a politician, therefore he lies.
The GOP is a terrorist organization.
That is correct, even the GOP agrees with you.
Liars gonna lie, republicans gonna vote. How bout you?
Everybody knew this was a stupid rumor and had already been debunked. Which is what got Harris' reaction when he brought it up. They don't have anything of substance to run on, so they have to go with created stories, and then double down even when those stories are shown to be false. It's all they have.
This isn't really all that new, it's just that the Trump and Vance team are so bad they don't know when to move on to something else. Past Republicans who used similar tactics are laughing at them, they're so bad.
Trump is trying to run the same 2016 campaign, and until Biden dropped out it was working for him. Harris has disrupted his autopilot campaign, and has nothing to pivot to. He cares 0% about Americans, or the US as a whole. He has no serious policies because they bore him, and the few he tries to talk about it's clear he can't comprehend them in his deteriorated mental state (tariffs!).
He just wants to stay out of prison and sell the US to the highest bidder and play golf someplace until he forgets what that is.
They have always known that this has always been a pizzagate-level conspiracy theory, and the campaign is pushing it, resulting in danger, fear, and chaos in Springfield, OH. This is what they want, to demonstrate their ability to damage the safety of citizens if they don't get their way.
This behavior is by design.
Sounds like terrorism to me
The Republican Party is a terrorist organization so that definitely checks out.
The GOP agrees with you
"Baseless? So they could be true and there is just no evidence at all?"
I don't think the distinction between a known falsehood and a baseless claim matters to Trump's cult at all, given that the distinction between reality and fiction doesn't seem to matter to them.
