Lara Trump is blaming X glitches during her father-in-law’s event Monday on Iranian hackers and a coordinated attack from the ‘deep state.’

The co-chair of the Republican National Committee and wife of Eric Trump accused haters of being given a ‘free pass.’

It comes after a shaky start to the former president’s X event with Elon Musk on Monday even, which started 40 minutes late and was riddled with glitches – similar to the campaign kickoff event the billionaire CEO held for Florida Gov Ron DeSantis last year when he launched his presidential bid.

Speaking with Fox News host Sean Hannity late Monday evening, Lara Trump said:

I think it’s pretty obvious at this point, there are a lot of people out there and there’s a massive effort, of course, to keep Donald Trump out of the White House. These people are terrified. This is the deep state. This is the swamp in Washington, D.C.

These are the people who are our adversaries in many cases, they know that the jig is up, the game is over when Donald J. Trump returns to the White House and they are petrified of it.

They’ve had a free pass for three and a half years that the people who want to do nefarious activities to us here in America, to our allies around the world, they’ve gotten a free pass and a free ride and they would like another four years of that with Kamala Harris at the helm.

After his marathon two-hour X Spaces chat with Donald Trump on Monday night, Elon Musk extended a similar invitation to Kamala Harris.

The Democratic nominee has been criticized for not doing interviews since she took over from joe Biden as the party’s 2024 standard bearer.

Happy to host Kamala on an 𝕏 Spaces too.

Before his invitation Harris’ campaign said in a statement:

Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself – self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will visit New Orleans on Tuesday to promote their ‘moonshot’ initiative to reduce cancer deaths.

It’s a cause close to their hearts. Their son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015.

The Bidens will announce $150 million in awards from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health. Those funds will support eight teams of researchers around the country working on ways to help surgeons more successfully remove tumors for people facing cancer.

Before he leaves office in January, Biden hopes to move the U.S. closer to the goal he set in 2022 to cut cancer deaths by 50% over the next 25 years, and to improve the lives of caregivers and those suffering from cancer.

Cancer is the second-highest killer of people in the U.S. after heart disease.

Trump, 78, during the conversation insulted Harris several times, referring to her as ‘third rate’, ‘incompetent’ and ‘a radical left lunatic’, and expressed anger that she had been swapped in for President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket.

He also praised Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un – all authoritarian strongmen – as at the ‘top of their game’.

The Vice President’s campaign, after the interview concluded, issued a fiery response on X, mocking the pair’s technical challenges and slamming Trump for only aiming to serve ‘self-obsessed rich guys like himself’.

Iran has rejected calls from the West to refrain against a retaliatory attack against Israel amid fears of a wider war in the Middle East.

Foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said on Tuesday that ‘Iran is determined to defend its national security’ and claimed requests to de-escalate ‘lacked political logic’.

He accused Israel of violating ‘sovereignty and territorial integrity’ with the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

The demands to hold back ‘amount to open and practical support for the source of international crimes and terrorism in the region’, Kanaani added.

His comments came after the U.S. and a number of European countries — the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy — issued a joint statement urging Iran and its allies to ‘stand down its ongoing threats of a military attack against Israel’.

The White House warned on Monday that an Iranian attack could come in days, after the U.S. beefed up its military presence in the region by deploying a guided-missile submarine.

Donald Trump’s spokesman is lashing out at Kamala Harris’ campaign for refusing to attribute their attacks to a member of the team.

Steven Cheung called the vice president’s campaign ‘f***ing cowards’ after it put out a statement mocking the ‘glitchy’ X interview with Elon musk and accusing Trump of seeking to serve ‘self-obsessed rich guys.’

The Trump attack dog lamented in an X post:

All these statements, yet nobody ever puts their name on them.

The vice president’s rapid response X account released a statement Monday evening on Trump’s highly-anticipated live-streamed event with Musk, which followed the former president’s return to the platform earlier in the day after nearly a year.

The event kicked off 40 minutes late and was laden with glitches.

Meanwhile, Democrats were in full fundraising mode during the event, and urged donors to ‘chip in $25 now’ because Musk was trying to take ‘control.’

‘Right now, Elon Musk is interviewing Donald Trump live on Twitter (we’re not calling it ‘X’),’ the Harris-Walz campaign solicitation message started before asking for money.

It’s not enough that Musk has pledged to donate millions of dollars to help reelect Trump. He’s using his purchased platform –— one of the largest social media sites in the world — to spread Trump’s unhinged and hateful agenda to millions of users.

On Saturday night, Vice President Kamala Harris promised to abolish tax on tips for service workers if she wins the election in November.

Her announcement triggered howls of outrage from Donald Trump who accused her of stealing his idea after he made the same promise in June, when a server in Nevada told him she felt the government was taking too big a share of her tips.

But an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com shows why Harris won’t care about charges of theft: The policy is overwhelmingly popular with voters.

Almost two thirds of likely voters say they support the idea.

And it is popular across all demographics and groups. Trump voters, white voters, Hispanic voters, Harris voters, the young and the old, graduates and non-graduates all support the idea of abolishing tax on tips.
