The BIG Lie

“Border crossings were lower during the Biden administration than they were during the Trump administration. We just didn’t put forth policies like family separation that were designed to be cruel. … [Trump’s] saying, ‘We’re going to lead with fear and cruelty rather than effectiveness.’” —Democrat strategist Christy Setzer

Non Compos Mentis

“[Defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth] clearly does not know anything about the military.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg

Dumb & Dumber

“A number of factors went into Donald Trump’s win. But, once again, the question is being asked: Is America ready for a woman in the White House?” —PBS’s Amna Nawaz

“What do we know about who we are as a country this year? That America is still not yet ready to elect a woman to lead our country. … What is it going to take … for this country to ever elect a woman president?” —The 19th News editor-at-large Errin Haines

“When it came down to white women choosing between their race and their gender, I think we see how that played out.” —Errin Haines

“What are the racism and sexism in our electorate that is allowing us to continually vote for somebody who’s proven that he is misogynist in both his own personal behavior, but also in his policy priorities, has tapped into racial resentment within our communities, and that these things aren’t disqualifying? And for white women, in particular, we have seen, time and again, it’s not disqualifying enough in part because they have a racial privilege that is being protected by this brand of politics.” —Rutgers University Professor Kelly Dittmar

“Since the day Donald Trump began campaigning, he tapped into white male grievance politics.” —Kelly Dittmar

Lack of Self-Awareness Award

“If you support eliminating the Department of Education, you do not support our students. Period.” —Education Secretary Miguel Cardona (“You threatened to withhold lunch funding for underprivileged kids if local school districts didn’t force boys into locker rooms with girls.” —Katie Pavlich)

Friendly Fire

“We thought Donald Trump was an idiot. We thought his campaign made no sense, and it turns out they were smarter than us.” —CNN’s Van Jones

For the Record

“Progressives consider whatever new boutique obsession they’ve come up with at any given moment to be the great moral issue of our time, indeed always to be the moral equivalent of the fight for civil rights.” —Rich Lowry

“The fact that she managed to spend $1 billion in three months — including millions in handouts for her celebrity rental-friends — and end up in debt tells you everything you need to know about what a Kamala Harris presidency would have looked like.” —Ian Haworth

“The biggest undiagnosed issue at the heart of American leftism is arrogance: the deep-seated belief that you have to be ignorant in order to vote for a Republican.” —Ian Haworth

“Every society has elites, but when the system becomes too stratified, when normal people can’t relate to the policies being foisted on them, when people sense that their personal interests aren’t driving their leaders, they respond with upheaval. Luckily for elite Americans, the upheaval here has been peaceful.” —Neil Patel

“Regarding the Democratic Party, I would not liken it to a bankrupt company. A company in bankruptcy needs to reorganize and do its business more efficiently. The Democratic Party is very efficient. Its problem is it’s selling the wrong product.” —Star Parker

And Last…

“When all you have is a hammer, you can convince yourself that everyone is at least a little racist.” —Noah Rothman

“Many don’t even particularly like Trump. They just dislike insanity more.” —Neil Patel

“CNN” and “top stars” is a bit of a misnomer. https://t.co/MvrdYYXBcA
