On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Republican Senate candidates did not need to take a position on whether they will vote for him as majority leader. McConnell said. “I’m not going to be on the ballot in any of these states, and I don’t think that the candidates who are running need to take a position on me. The people in those states are interested in what the candidates can do for them and for the country.” He added, “Trying to cook up an issue like this is irrelevant, is only create divisions that make us more difficult for us to win in November. But I don’t expect any candidate in America to sort of sign up on how they may vote for the majority leader of the Senate a year and a half from now,” he said.

During Saturday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Cavuto on Business,” economist and former presidential speechwriter Ben Stein rejected what many NFL players have proclaimed to be the justification for their pre-game National Anthem protests. According to Stein, there was no longer “institutional racism” in America and those players were “a bunch of sulking big babies.” “You know, these guys are a bunch of sulking big babies,” Stein said. “They don’t know what they’re talking about. There’s no institutional racism at all in America anymore. If they want to do their free speech thing, God bless them. Let them do their free speech thing. But let’s ignore them from then on. Let’s just ignore them like they’re bad babies and we don’t want to hear them crying off in the corner … yes, there’s racism in every human being’s heart. There’s no institutional racism in America anymore. It’s gone.” Follow Jeff Poor on Twitter @jeff_poor
