Seven candidates for California governor duked it out onstage during Tuesday night's debate -- and two of them got into a heated argument over immigration, with one admitting he was an Oath Keeper!
Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa got into a fiery back-and-forth with Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco while discussing undocumented immigrants committing crimes in California.
Villaraigosa, a Democrat, said if an undocumented immigrant killed someone, they should be incarcerated. But Bianco, a Republican, said it's already too late at that point, meaning the crime has already been committed.
As they talked over each other, Villaraigosa called Bianco a "bully" and an "Oath Keeper." Bianco responded that he's "very proud" of his affiliation with the group, but later claimed he's no longer a part of it. Check out the clip. It gets pretty ugly.
The House of Representatives has used $300K of taxpayer dollars as hush money in sexual harassment allegations against former members ... newly released documents show.
Representative Nancy Mace subpoenaed the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to hand over settlement documents ... which she says show six former members of the House of Representatives had their cases settled on taxpayers' dimes.
The Republican Congresswoman from South Carolina name-dropped them on X Monday -- along with how much their settlements allegedly cost -- writing ... "You, the American people, paid for this. Taxpayer dollars were used to silence victims of sexual harassment by Members of Congress. We said we would get you names."
This comes as part of Mace's push for more accountability of sexual misconduct cases in Congress.
According to settlement contracts reviewedby CNN ... the offices of the accused congressmen -- yes, all men -- don't actually cop to any of the allegations.
Instead, they say they're settling "to avoid the inconvenience of protracted litigation and the expense to the parties and the taxpayers of such litigation" ... at least according to one settlement CNN reviewed.
Thanks to policy changes, members haven't been able to use taxpayer dollars for settlements since 2018 ... and the House Oversight Committee said in a recent statement that they haven't "been notified of any awards or settlements relating to allegations of sexual harassment by a member" after that.
Three of the reps Mace name-dropped -- John Conyers, Blake Farenthold and Carolyn McCarthy -- are dead.
Kash Patelis putting a local sheriff's office on blast -- and he's not sugarcoating it.

Check it out ... Patel says the FBI was locked out for four full days -- a delay he made clear is a huge deal in a missing-persons investigation.
So much for aiming high -- President Donald Trump just sent a little kid’s volleyball hopes straight into the net ... and it all played out inside the Oval Office!

Trump's known for some seriously sharp jabs at grown women, but he dialed it down just enough to be kid-friendly ... but still hitting her with, "Can you get up high? Can you jump high?"
Cinco de Mayo got spicy between Republicans and Democrats ... and not in a margarita-on-the-rocks kinda way.
The official White House account on X fired the first shot Tuesday morning ... and it wasn't a tequila shot.
