Nancy Mace Exposes the Flirty Text Messages a Leftist Professor Sent Her After He Melted Down and Called Her Racist for Mispronouncing Kamala’s Name on CNN
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) came loaded with receipts during a House hearing on Thursday as she exposed one infamous race-baiting professor as a lying fraud after he slandered her earlier this month.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, sparks flew earlier this month on CNN when Mace accidentally mispronounced Kamala Harris’ name, triggering an explosive reaction from the panel.

The exchange took a sharp turn when Mace referred to Harris as “KamAla,” a mispronunciation that immediately drew criticism from the other panelists, including Professor of African American Studies Michael Eric Dyson.

“When you disrespect Kamala Harris by saying you will call her whatever you want… that’s the history and legacy of white disregard for the humanity of black people,” Dyson complained, insinuating that Mace is racist, seemingly upset by what he perceived as a deliberate slight.
But it turns out Dyson was performing for the CNN audience and did not mean anything he said. Moreover, he apparently has some romantic feelings for Mace as well.

During a Thursday hearing, Mace revealed that Dyson texted her flirtatiously following their clash and begged her for photos. He even sent her a kissy emoji.
Mace says this proves Dyson had no concerns over how she pronounced Kamala Harris’ first name and that there can be no double standards in politics. She then officially entered the comments into the record.
MACE: I would also like to enter into the record a screenshot of a text message I received from the esteemed professor from Vanderbilt, Michaël Eric Dyson, after my CNN interview. He begged me for photos.

In this text, after calling me a racist on CNN: ‘Don’t tell anybody, we look good together.’ And he sent me a kissy emoji.

The guy says I’m gorgeous in all of these photos. I don’t think he’s that bent out of shape on how anybody pronounces Kamala and if you’re gonna have that standard, you gotta hold it to both sides.
Mace’s bold move should serve as a template for other conservatives to blow up the left’s race-baiting political methods. One can safely bet there are similar examples of leftists trying to act like friends or hitting on conservatives after insulting them publicly.
It’s shameful that too many value getting media hits on liberal networks over utilizing scorched-earth tactics to humiliate the left. September 19, 2024

The highly-anticipated release of The Penguin, the new blockbuster HBO Max series, drops today, and fans are on tenterhooks waiting to see Colin Farrell’s terrifying transformation.

Eerie, dark, gloomy and full of violence, the spin-off show based on the DC Comics Batman character is set to be a humdinger, with a cast full of stars and filmmaker Matt Reeves, who made 2022’s The Batman, an executive producer.
Plus, it’s now been two years since the last Batman film was released – and fans are more than ready to find out what happens next.The Penguin is going to follow the life and crimes of mob boss Oswald Cobblepot, who comes to be known as the Penguin, as he rises to power in Gotham. Often listed as one of the best comic book villains of all time, Penguin is cruel, full of range, constantly surrounded by violent henchmen, and a master manipulator – aka not someone to cross lightly.Is there a trailer?
Yes, we’ve popped it at the top of the page.
The first trailer, which was released in May, is strikingly tense, setting the tone for the forthcoming series, as the Penguin speaks to an unknown character sitting just behind the camera, as knives are wielded, explosions fill the city sky, someone shoots a tied up body, as fights break out in cars and as a woman screams.
A kind of orange haze ripples behind a skyline, glimmering through window panes, or reflecting off a building’s façade. Most of the scenes are composed of shades of black, grey and dark browns – the Penguin’s face is almost a grimy dark yellow, or green; Gotham is depicted at nighttime, the skies are grey and it’s raining. And this is really the extent of the light in the forthcoming series – a brilliant way to bring home the fact that Gotham is an unhappy, dangerous, crime-ridden place.
The new series is set shortly after the events of The Batman, and follows the Penguin’s rise to power in Gotham.
“We wanted it to be, not in a grandiose way, but in a mythic Shakespearean way, this kind of great tale,” said Reeves, speaking at San Diego Comic-Con in July.Showrunner Lauren LeFranc added: “It’s a Scarface story. It’s a rise-to-power story of Oz before he really makes it to the top.”Oscar-nominated Colin Farrell, 47, is the Penguin in the new show – his most exciting role yet. And although we already saw Farrell play the Penguin in Reeves’s The Batman (2022), he had to share the screen with other acting powerhouses, including Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright and Andy Serkis.
In the new series this isn’t the case. His transformation is truly remarkable and judging by the trailer, the role is set to be one of the most important of his career.
“I swear to God, I still cannot see Colin Farrell under that makeup no matter how hard I squint. Probably one of the best makeup jobs in the history of cinema,” commented one fan under the trailer, summarising the general sentiment about Farrell’s phenomenal embodiment of the mobster.
The rest of the cast is also star-studded. There’s a haunted-looking Cristin Milioti (How I Met Your Mother) who will play Sofia Falcone, the daughter of late crime boss Carmine Falcone. Clancy Brown (Billions) will play mob boss Sal Maroni, Michael Zegen is Sofia’s brother Alberto, and Michael Kelly as Falcone underboss Johnny Vitti.
Mark Strong, François Chau (Lost), Carmen Ejogo (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy) and James Madio (Band of Brothers) will also feature in undisclosed roles.
The Penguin has been created by a stellar team: Reeves, whose movies include the terrifying Cloverfield (2008) and the ambitious Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014), is an executive producer on the eight-part series.
Its showrunner, Lauren LeFranc, previously worked as a producer on Impulse, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Chuck and Hemlock Grove. And filmmaker Craig Zobel, whose credits include episodes of The Leftovers, American Gods, and Westworld, and the miniseries Mare of Easttown, is directing the first three episodes. Helen Shaver, who was nominated for an Emmy for directing Summer's End (1999) is also set to direct.
