From the Loony Left
“I’ll condemn Hamas and what they do in the same way that I’ll condemn some of the human rights abuses that we see on the part of the IDF.” —Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in 2018

“One of the things that we’ve done in this Congress is continue to make clear that Donald Trump’s violent mass-deportation machine does not get a dime. And it does not get a dime because it’s inconsistent with the American values that have made our country exceptional.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries

“What the Trump administration is doing specifically is attacking women’s ability to get an education. ... They don’t want women to go to college.” —New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“I have a responsibility as a governor to find compromise, but I am under no obligation to meet you halfway to fascism.” —Minnesota Governor Tim Walz

“The U.S. secretary of state ... in my humble opinion has an unhealthy obsession with Cuba.” —Cuban Ambassador to the UN Ernesto Soberón (Marco Rubio’s parents are from Cuba.)

From the Reasonable Right
“Abdul El-Sayed is not who he says he is. The U.S. Senate candidate wants Michigan voters to believe that he is a conventional progressive Democrat with no ties to or sympathies for Islamic radicalism. The opposite is true. El-Sayed is a radical leftist whose campaign serves as a Trojan horse for a ‘red-green alliance’ of Marxists and Islamists seeking power in Washington.” —Marc Thiessen

“The Muslim Brotherhood celebrated just one candidate’s primary election. Just one. You know who that was? Abdul El-Sayed.” —Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers

“[El-Sayed] is the most extreme, dangerous candidate to ever run for the United States Senate in the history of our country, and we have to stop him right here in Michigan.” —Mike Rogers

“What do you think gas prices will be if Democrats get their way and they cut oil and gas production in America? ... Can somebody explain to me how exactly you’re going to drive down gas prices when you want to eliminate fossil fuels?” —New York Congressman Mike Lawler

“Liberals actually think that if we confiscated Elon Musk’s wealth and spent it on Somalians then they’d be inventing flying cars too.” —John Doyle

“I’ve come around to the idea that things have gotten so stupid because the world is better than ever. The fewer real problems you have the more fake problems you invent.” —David Harsanyi
