ILLINOIS. Sen. Mark says Obama is “drug dealer in chief.” DNC Spokesperson TJ Helmstetter said in a statement, “In calling our first African American president a drug dealer, Mark Kirk has demonstrated that Donald Trump’s hateful rhetoric and divisive politics have taken over the entire Republican Party. Kirk has spent millions of dollars trying to distance himself from Trump but it’s clear that the Republican Party has become the party of Trump. Mark Kirk owes the First Family, the people of Illinois, and the American public an apology for his ugly and racially tinged remarks.”

Ralph Lauren, which outfitted Team USA for the opening and closing ceremonies, told CNBC on Monday that it would not renew its current deal with Lochte. Lochte was one of the highlighted athletes on Ralph Lauren’s website modeling Team USA gear.”
