For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.

On Sunday morning, long before the second attempt on former president Donald Trump’s life in Palm Beach, the spin was all about covering for Kamala. Less than a week after what now looks to be the only presidential debate between the former president and current vice president, the media were still bending over backwards to hide Harris’ failure to set herself apart from the administration she’s been a part of for the last 3.5 years.

The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser, fresh off her recent tussle with X’s Community Notes, joined a panel discussion on ABC’s “This Week” to talk about the fallout from Tuesday’s presidential debate between Trump and Harris (with a series of assists from moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis).

The “strategic goal” of the Kamala Harris campaign, according to Glasser, is to make the 2024 election “a referendum on Trump, to turn him into an incumbent.”

The obvious problem with that particular strategy is that Trump is not an incumbent, and the American people — and their wallets — are acutely aware of that fact. Harris’ failure to convince people that she is not at least partially responsible for the unpopular policies she helped President Joe Biden to pass — often as the deciding vote in a divided Senate — and then implement, reminds them daily that she, not Trump, is the incumbent in this race.

Asma Khalid, NPR White House correspondent, said as much when she weighed in on the topic. “I would argue whether it’s on the Middle East, whether it’s on Ukraine, the economy, immigration — by and large her policies are akin to what Joe Biden’s are. And that’s to be expected. She’s the sitting vice president,” she said.

Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) tagged in on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” to defend Harris’ obviously false claim about American troops in combat zones. Harris said during Tuesday’s debate that “not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world.”

Moore, who has recently been playing defense over his own false claim about a Bronze Star that he never actually received, attempted to spin the vice president’s statement as substantively accurate even if literally untrue. Arguing that Harris had only meant to rebut Trump’s claim that Americans were safer when he was President, Moore conceded, “We do have people who are in harm’s way every single day.”

Meanwhile, “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan did the heavy lifting for Harris during her interview with Vice Presidential candidate and Senator JD Vance (R-OH), asking him whether he regretted speaking up about claims from his constituents about the impact the Biden-Harris administration’s insistence on resettling large numbers of Haitian migrants in their communities.

Noting that several anti-immigrant threats had been made since, causing lockdowns at local schools and hospitals, Brennan first implied that Vance’s statements had directly resulted in those threats and then asked him whether he regretted saying anything.

Over on CNN’s “State of the Union,” anchor Dana Bash also appeared to have gotten the memo — and she framed her interview with Vance in much the same fashion.

Vance made it clear that he wasn’t having it, however, and replied, “I want to start with something you said which I think is frankly disgusting, and is more appropriate for a Democratic propagandist than it is for an American journalist. There is nothing that I have said that has led to threats against these hospitals.”

On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” it was Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg who stepped up to spin the story — and he claimed that Trump was only amplifying the real concerns raised by Ohio residents in the communities overrun by Haitian immigrants because he was trying to “distract” voters from his real plans.

“They go for something that is so outrageous … you can’t ignore it. … Very real pain has been inflicted,” he claimed.

The wife of Alexander Vindman, the man behind Donald Trump’s impeachment, mocked the attempted assassination of Donald Trump Sunday afternoon at the hands of a fellow Ukraine loyalist.

“No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon,” Rachel Vindman wrote, dismissing the attempted killing of a former president and making light of how he was actually shot in the head two months ago.

“Sorry you’re triggered. I mean no I’m not. I don’t care a little bit,” she added.

Alexander and Eugene Vindman are Ukrainian twins who joined the U.S. military and made their way into the National Security Council staff in the White House, with Alexander joining in the Obama administration and remaining there under Trump as an ostensibly nonpolitical official. After Trump had a call with Ukraine’s president in which he encouraged him to look into Hunter Biden’s business dealings there, the twins sought to use the call to portray Trump himself as corrupt, leading to his impeachment.

Violence against any elected official should never be celebrated or dismissed. This is now the second assassination attempt on former President Trump in a few weeks. Our country needs to continue to work to come together, as one, and be united against the challenges we face both… pic.twitter.com/IIXDBHSjc9

The media portrayed Alexander Vindman as a nonpartisan, career military man who therefore should be taken seriously. In the years since, it has become clear that he was in fact a raging partisan, and that Democrats took the nearly unprecedented action of impeachment over a seemingly minor phone call incident because Hunter Biden was, in fact, criminally corrupt.

The man suspected of attempting to kill Trump on Sunday was a Democrat who adopted the party’s Ukraine obsession with such gusto that the New York Times wrote about his efforts to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war and bring other foreigners to do the same. 

Eugene Vindman is now the Democrat nominee for Congress in Virginia’s seventh congressional district, a once Republican area that has recently leaned slightly blue. Eugene Vindman stands poised to be a U.S. congressman even though he is presumably a dual citizen of Ukraine and much of his family’s focus has remained on that foreign country.

The Republican running against him, Derrick Anderson, condemned Rachel Vindman’s remarks on X, writing that “This is now the second assassination attempt on former President Trump in a few weeks…. My opponent,  @YVindman, has called for lowering the political temperature of this country — so will he denounce these terrible statements from his family member and supporter?”

Eugene Vindman posted a comment that refused to express sympathy to Trump by name, saying only “I am deeply disturbed by yet another attempt of political violence in our nation. I am grateful that no one is hurt.”

Alexander Vindman, for his part, unleashed numerous unhinged screeds blaming Trump for his own near-assassinations. When Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita wrote that Rachel Vindman’s comments should be condemned, he replied “I condemn you… Your candidate @realDonaldTrump has incited political violence for a decade.”

He pointed to a 2020 tweet by Trump defending himself against Alexander Vindman’s allegations, suggesting it constituted “harassment and incitement of violence.”

Trump “instigated attacks on legal immigrants resulting in bomb threats. His constant stoking of political violence doesn’t receive enough scrutiny. And the violence he inspires doesn’t receive enough condemnation,” he said. Saying nothing of the fact that Trump was literally almost murdered on Sunday, he instead blamed Trump’s “rhetoric” for supposedly instigating violence.

No one has ever tried to shoot Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, yet Trump has been the target of numerous murder plots.

When Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene echoed calls for condemnation of Rachel Vindman’s rhetoric, Alexander Vindman responded by calling her a Russia propagandist.

The presence of such people in the National Security Council serves as vindication of Trump’s theory that a “deep state” was undermining him, and has tarnished the credibility of those who cast career government officials as “nonpartisan” and above reproach. 

A large plank in Eugene Vindman’s campaign platform is claiming that it will hurt northern Virginia’s economy if Republicans win because Trump might enact “Schedule F” reform that would mean a president cannot be forced to keep people who openly subvert his agenda.

“The MAGA movement has made their intentions clear: if they take full control of the Federal Government they will fire thousands and install loyalists into our civil service. If their scheme for Schedule F is enacted, thousands of Virginians will lose their jobs,” his website says.

It is also aimed at advancing the cause of his homeland, underscoring his desire for “supporting Ukraine as they repel Putin’s invasion, strengthening NATO, and working with our European allies to make sure Russia’s aggression does not go unchecked.”

Virginia’s 7th district was for years the home of Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. In 2014, he was defeated in the Republican primary by further-right Republican David Brat, who served two terms before being unseated by Democrat Abigail Spanberger, who won with 50.3% of the vote after positioning herself as more centrist.

Spanberger is now running for governor, but the Vindman family’s conduct positions them far outside the realm of centrism that history suggests the district prefers.
