As I began writing this in November 2019, I sat in the centre of a political firestorm. The president of the United States was smearing me almost daily from the South Lawn of the White House. He invoked my name at rallies to incite his base. âWhereâs Hunter?â replaced âLock her up!â as his go-to hype line. If you wanted, you could even buy a Whereâs Hunter? T-shirt directly from his campaign website: $25, sizes small to 3XL.
Not long after, supporters sporting MAGA caps appeared outside the driveway gate of the private house I was renting in Los Angeles with my wife, Melissa, then five months pregnant. We called the police to shoo them away. Yet threats â including an anonymous text to one of my daughters at school, warning her that they knew where I lived â forced us to seek a safer address. Melissa was scared to death â for her, for us, for our baby.
Former Reagan Staffer David McIntosh Says Elise Stefanik Terrible for GOP Leadership: She s Very Much a Liberal
On 5/7/21 at 9:41 AM EDT
David McIntosh, the director of the Domestic Policy Council under former Republican President Ronald Reagan, pushed back hard against Representative Elise Stefanik s campaign for a House GOP leadership position, saying she would be terrible and describing her as very much a liberal.
As Representative Liz Cheney, chair of the House Republican Conference, has repeatedly condemned former President Donald Trump, House GOP leaders have turned on her, and she is expected to be ousted from her position as the No. 3 House Republican. Stefanik has emerged as the clear front-runner to replace the Wyoming Republican, but some conservative critics point to the New York Republican s past record to argue that she s not really a conservative.
In his Joint Address, President Biden proposed trillions in new spending funded by forcing the wealthy to “pay their fair share.” As Dan O’Donnell notes, this ignores a century of evidence that this won’t work.
Perspective by Dan O’Donnell
The years and decades pass, the names and faces change, but the Democrat message remains the same.
“The average working man and woman pay for the loopholes and the special provisions in our tax laws because when some do not pay their fair share, the majority must pay higher taxes to make up the difference,” said President Jimmy Carter in 1978.

Then-Senator Biden delivered the Democratic responses to Republican President Ronald Reagan s State of the Union addresses in 1983 1984. Biden served as a senator for six terms representing Delaware before becoming vice president under former President Obama in 2009.
The tradition of the party response dates back to 1966, notes the Fairfield Sun Times.
Gerald Ford, president from 1974 to 1977, gave three State of the Union address during his presidency. As a Minnesota representative, Ford delivered three Republican party responses to the addresses made by Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson between 1966 and 1968, according to the House of Representatives website.
In 1985, then-Rep. Bill Clinton (D-Ark.) spoke on behalf of the Democrats after President Reagan’s address.
