When Joe Biden was informed of his polling situation in the battleground states of Michigan and Georgia, he was not happy.
This was reflected in a report detailing Biden’s angry response to finding out that his actions haven’t been pleasing his own voter base.
“There’s a report that when President Biden was told his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas was starting to affect his poll numbers,” Doocy said to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. “The quote is, ‘He began to shout and swear.’”
“So, when he does that, is he shouting and swearing about Netanyahu or about Hamas or about his poll numbers?” Doocy asked.
This is not a good sign for Biden, as his base may be a little too radicalized for him — and Sara Gonzales is well aware, noting that they’re angry he hasn’t given a “fist bump to Hamas.”
“That is your own base kind of shooting back at you,” Eric July tells Gonzales, explaining that it’s because “they have kind of radicalized not just, of course, the people, if you will, but even members of their party and how they generally approach the situation with Israel.”
Matthew Marsden is in agreement, saying, “They eat their own.”
“They do because there’s no real underlying higher moral order for them,” he continues. “When you have that situation, you end up cannibalizing each other.”
This is why the right has a stronger chance of winning than the left.
“We actually have morals, and we have objectives that we want to achieve,” Marsden adds.

Despite Pride month being nearly two weeks away, Target has already rolled out LGBTQ sections in its stores and on its website. The retail giant is facing backlash for selling "tuck-friendly" bathing suits and LGBTQ onesies for babies.
Target offers 2,351 products in its Pride collection, including clothing, items for pets, home furnishings, stationery, books, music, and movies.
There are "gender fluid" mugs, "queer all year" calendars, "trans pride, trans power" cards, and Pride Milkbone dog treats.
There are books for children ages 4 to 8 titled: "The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish," "Bye Bye, Binary," "The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag," "The Gay, B, Cs," and "Are You a Girl or Are You a Boy?"
Target's Pride collection for babies and children features a baby onesie with bunnies, teddy bears, and mermaids proudly holding the LGBTQ flag. There is also a baby onesie featuring the colors of the so-called "Progress Pride flag," which has the rainbow flag, but also represents people of color and the trans community.
Target also sells LGBTQ T-shirts celebrating drag queens and shirts that read: "Trans people will always exist," "Support trans futures," "Say gay," "Homophobia, transphobia can be treated with education," "Trans pride, trans power," and "Sorry, can't think straight."

Target faces an inferno of criticism over a "tuck-friendly" Pride bathing suit. The tag on the swimsuit boasts about providing "tuck-friendly construction" and "extra crotch coverage."

The over-the-top push of an LGBTQ agenda has some conservatives advocating customers ostracize Target, much like the boycott of Bud Light following the Dylan Mulvaney marketing debacle.
A year ago, Target garnered backlash after the retail chain began selling "pro-trans merchandise for children, as well as 'chest binders' and 'packing underwear' supposedly for adults." Chest binders constrict a female's breasts, and packing underwear provides a bulge to biological females to make it appear that they have a penis.
BlazeTV's "Relatable" host, Allie Beth Stuckey — who started boycotting Target last year over its controversial Pride collection — delivered scathing commentary on the retail chain's advocacy of transgender products.

Comedian and progressive activist Kathy Griffin had her Twitter account suspended on Sunday after violating the social media platform's terms of service. Griffin had been impersonating Elon Musk on Twitter.
Griffin altered her Twitter account to make it appear that it was Musk's official page. She changed her feature image to the same photo that Musk has and renamed her account to "Elon Musk."
Screenshots show Griffin was also impersonating Musk in her tweets. In the impersonating tweets, Griffin instructed people to vote for Democrats in the midterm elections.
\u201cThese celebrities impersonating @elonmusk to attempt and influence people on how to vote is the weirdest celebrity trend. The latest is d lister @kathygriffin.\u201d— Russian Bot Barbie \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83d\udc71\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f (@Russian Bot Barbie \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83d\udc71\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f) 1667762910
\u201cWelp, Kathy Griffin is about to be deleted from Twitter for impersonating @ElonMusk. And of course, she is trying to manipulate people to think he wants them to vote for the Democrats. Typical dirty tricks. #Midterms2022 #Election2022 #MAGA\u201d— Gays For TRUMP (@Gays For TRUMP) 1667763547
Griffin's Twitter account was suspended.
\u201cBREAKING: @KathyGriffin has been permanently suspended from Twitter for impersonating @ElonMusk\u201d— Benny Johnson (@Benny Johnson) 1667777736
Even before Musk took over Twitter, it was against the social media network's terms of service to impersonate someone.
You may not impersonate individuals, groups, or organizations to mislead, confuse, or deceive others, nor use a fake identity in a manner that disrupts the experience of others on Twitter.
We want Twitter to be a place where people can find authentic voices. That means one should be able to trust that the person or organization featured in an account’s profile genuinely represents the account owner. While you are not required to display your real name or image on your profile, your account should not engage in impersonation or pose as someone who doesn’t exist in order to deceive others. Accounts that use deceptive identities can create confusion, as well as undermine the integrity of conversations on Twitter. For this reason, you may not misappropriate the identity of another person, group, or organization, or create a fake identity for deceptive purposes.
Accounts that impersonate others face profile modifications, temporary account suspension, and permanent suspension.
On Sunday, Musk issued a stern warning for anyone thinking about impersonating other accounts.
"Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying 'parody' will be permanently suspended," Musk tweeted. "Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning."
"This wil l be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue," the Twitter CEO stated.
\u201cPreviously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning. \n\nThis will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue.\u201d— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1667775222
Griffin previously besmirched Musk as a "white supremacist."
"Think of the damage Zuckerberg has done. Musk is a Piers Morgan level media thirsty, vindictive, white supremacist who is looking to convince you he is an innovative disruptor," Griffin said in April.
Musk replied, "The extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all."
Musk added, "By 'free speech', I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people."
In an update shared after Gays Against Groomers was permanently banned from using PayPal, the anti-child-sexualization group revealed the payment processing company permits groups that support pedophiles to use its services.
Gays Against Groomers posted screenshots last week that show an organization called the Protasia Foundation is permitted to use both PayPal and Venmo to process donations to its partner the "MAP Support Club." MAP stands for "minor attracted people," a euphemism for pedophiles. Both groups advocate for the acceptance of pedophilia as a sexual orientation, rather than a depraved perversion.
"While we’re not allowed to conduct business on PayPal, guess who is… an organization that offers a support group for 'MAPs,'" Gays Against Groomers tweeted. "@PayPal banned us for being against pedophilia, but allow actual pedophile groups to use their services unabated."
\u201cJUST IN: While we\u2019re not allowed to conduct business on PayPal, guess who is\u2026 an organization that offers a support group for \u201cMAPs\u201d\n\n@PayPal banned us for being against pedophilia, but allow actual pedophile groups to use their services unabated.\n\n#BoycottPayPal\u201d— Gays Against Gr\u2588\u2588mers (@Gays Against Gr\u2588\u2588mers) 1663883497
Protasia is a California-based progressive charity that claims to fight child sexual abuse in a "balanced" and "evidence-based" approach that reduces "harms caused to children and others" by "our society's predominantly reactive child protection agenda." The group states that "peer support for stigmatized populations," or pedophiles, is believed by some experts to reduce sexual abuse.
The separate organization MAP Support Club is "a community for minor attracted people to find friendship and understanding among peers." The support club operates a chat-based "peer-support network" for adolescents and adults who feel sexual urges toward children. Protasia partners with MAP Support Club and says it serves as the organization's legal point of contact.
"Since the average age at which minor attracted people discover their attractions is 14 years old and since a large proportion of CSA is committed by adolescents against younger minors, this is an important endeavor in helping teenagers come to terms with their attractions in a harm-free and law-abiding way," Protasia's website states. "Adults and teens cannot message each other on MSC."
MAP Support Club runs its own staff, according to Protasia, which has created open source software to help monitor chatrooms for illegal child pornography "as an additional safeguarding measure."
Critics like Canadian writer Anna Slatz have attacked Protasia's mission, highlighting how the organization seeks to mainstream pedophilia by campaigning against child pornography bans, advocating for the legalization of child sex dolls, and funding research for "fantasy sexual outlets" for pedophiles.
Gays Against Groomers complained that an organization that literally defends pedophiles is permitted to use PayPal and Venmo while their group, which opposes indoctrinating children with "radical gender theory," is accused of hatred, intolerance, and discrimination.

PayPal did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
PayPal this week shut down multiple accounts associated with groups critical of the transgender movement, including the U.K.-based Free Speech Union and the nonprofit Gays Against Groomers.
"We have just been BANNED from @Venmo and @PayPal (within minutes of each other) for 'violating' their user agreements," Gays Against Groomers announced on Twitter Tuesday, sharing screenshots of emails from the payment processing companies. "We are an organization that consists entirely of gay people whose only mission is to safeguard children from abuse. Woke homophobia is real, folks."
\u201cBREAKING: We have just been BANNED from @Venmo and @PayPal (within minutes of each other) for \u201cviolating\u201d their user agreements. \n\nWe are an organization that consists entirely of gay people whose only mission is to safeguard children from abuse. \n\nWoke homophobia is real, folks.\u201d— Gays Against Gr\u2588\u2588mers (@Gays Against Gr\u2588\u2588mers) 1663656430
"And more importantly than the woke homophobia is the fact that more and more companies are coming out in full support of the sexualization, indoctrination, and medicalization of minors," Gays Against Groomers added. "They will soon regret this unprecedented decision. Stay tuned."
The emails from Venmo and PayPal accuse Gays Against Groomers of violating each company's respective user agreement. The group, which represents "a coalition of gay people who oppose the recent trend of indoctrinating, sexualizing and medicalizing children," was permanently banned on both platforms. PayPal owns Venmo.
On the same day, the Telegraph reported that PayPal shut down the accounts of Free Speech Union, its founder Toby Young, and his opinion and news website the Daily Sceptic last week without a clear explanation. Free Speech Union is a nonpartisan organization that opposes cancel culture and has defended academics who have criticized transgenderism and people who have been fired for expressing their opinions.
Young told the Telegraph that PayPal claimed the accounts violated its "Acceptable Use Policy" and said the banning was a "sinister form of cancel culture."
\u201cThe FSU has been demonetised by @PayPal for daring to stand up for #freespeech.\n\nThank you to all who stand in solidarity with us \u2013 existing members, supporters, and the many new members joining us today. \n\nHere's a thread about who we are and what we do.\u201d— The Free Speech Union (@The Free Speech Union) 1663771386
A PayPal spokesman would not comment on individual customers, but told the paper PayPal "regularly assesses activity against our long-standing Acceptable Use Policy and will discontinue our relationship with account holders who are found to violate our policies."
“Achieving the balance between protecting the ideals of tolerance, diversity and respect for people of all backgrounds and upholding the values of free expression and open dialogue can be difficult, but we do our best to achieve it,” the spokesperson said, according to the Telegraph.
Further comments from PayPal given to the Advocate suggest the bans are related to both Free Speech Union and Gays Against Groomers' public opposition to "radical gender theory" and drag queen story hours in schools.
\u201cWe just learned through a hit piece written about us by @TheAdvocateMag that @PayPal banned our accounts intentionally. \n\nThey said that don\u2019t allow the promotion of discrimination but literally discriminated against us for being (the wrong kind of) gay?? Make it make sense.\u201d— Gays Against Gr\u2588\u2588mers (@Gays Against Gr\u2588\u2588mers) 1663700440
"PayPal's policy is not to allow our services to be used for activities that promote hate, violence, or discriminatory intolerance," the spokesperson wrote. "We base our reviews of accounts on these parameters, taking action when we deem that individuals or organizations have violated this policy."
Hours after being banned by PayPal, Gays Against Groomers shared that the group's gmail account had also been disabled.
\u201cBREAKING: After being banned by @PayPal and @Venmo less than 24 hours ago, We have JUST been banned by @Google! \n\nBig tech is coordinating a massive attack on our organization for trying to protect children.
