Fearmongering

“In Florida … between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, you’ve got a team there that really made a landscape for women that is downright dangerous. And Republican women and the men who love them are going to find themselves having to leave the state just to get basic healthcare.” —MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski

Useful Idiots

“I do believe that history is going to be on [anti-Semitic student protestors’] side.” —Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN)

“It is not surprising that [House Speaker Mike Johnson] would go out to Columbia University and stir up really more anger and hate and endanger the lives of young people who are at the encampment.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

“Rare visit by House speaker to campus escalates tension at Columbia.” —The Washington Post (“I don’t remember that kind of reaction when Joe Biden gave that angry and hateful speech in front of the Nazi-esque backdrop in 2022.” —Nate Jackson)

For the Record

“One of the wealthiest Jews in the world [George Soros] is responsible for the fact that we can’t keep street thugs in New York and other big cities in jail. And now he’s funding the thugs attacking young Jews throughout America. He must really be proud of himself.” —Gary Bauer

“Journalists were once a proud few who fought back against tyranny and government lies. Now they have become party political agents ready to be summoned into service at a moment’s notice.” —Armstrong Williams

Lack of Self-Awareness Awards

“I just don’t think people should have to go to jail for smoking weed.” —Kamala Harris (“[Harris] oversaw 1,900+ convictions for marijuana-related offenses as district attorney.” —RNC)

“Folks, look, we gotta stop this division. I promised to be president for all of America, whether you voted for me or not.” —Joe Biden

“One of the great moments in lack of self-awareness occurred last week when former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on a podcast. … Among the things Clinton said Trump would like to do is ‘imprison his opposition.’ At that very moment, Trump was sitting in a Manhattan courtroom, facing a maximum of 136 years in prison on charges of falsifying bookkeeping records of an entirely legal nondisclosure agreement.” —Byron York

Baghdad Bobs

Dezinformatsiya
