Weird Flex
“I have on six items of clothes: shoes, socks, jeans, skivvies, T-shirt, and sweatshirt. You know how many of these were made in America? None! None! And I don’t want to live in a country that makes T-shirts.” —Democrat strategist James Carville
CNN Fracas
“Last time I checked, I’m black. You’re not.” —Shermichael Singleton

Non Compos Mentis
“First they came for the Latinos outside of the Home Depots trying to get work so that they could feed their families. And I didn’t say anything about it because I’m not a Latino at the Home Depot. Then they came for the Hispanic-looking folks wearing hats backward with tattoos, and they deported them to El Salvador. And I didn’t say anything about that because I don’t wear my hair backward and I don’t have any tattoos and I don’t look like a Latino. Then they came for the Latinas at home taking care of the children. Scooped up the Latinas and the children, some of whom were American citizens, one of whom was receiving treatment for cancer. … And I didn’t say anything about it because I’m not a Latina. I’m not a little child who’s an American citizen. Then they came back for the students studying on the college campuses who were here on student visas. … And I didn’t say anything about it because I’m not a student on a foreign visa. And then they came and arrested a white female judge. … And I didn’t say anything then because I’m not … a white female judge [in a] state court. But then they came for me. And I looked around and there was nobody left because I had remained silent.” —Rep. Hank Johnson
Re: The Leftmedia
“It is a sad reflection on the state of our media … that you obsessively try to shill for this MS-13 terrorist while no coverage occured in your papers about any of the Americans that were raped and tortured and murdered by the illegals that Biden was importing into our country.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller
“No matter how many times the president says he is not cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, Democrats say over and over, ‘Trump is cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.’ And their media co-conspirators never fact-check them.” —Gary Bauer
“The media insisted for days that renewables weren’t to blame for the blackout in Spain, even though anyone with a basic understanding of the electrical grid knew they were.” —Michael Shellenberger
Never Interrupt Your Enemy While (S)he Is Making a Mistake
“I think I speak for everyone at the White House — we encourage Kamala Harris to continue going out and doing speaking engagements.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
“Who would be doing a better job as president? Guess who comes out on top? … Trump continues to score a higher percentage of the vote than Kamala Harris.” —CNN’s Harry Enten using poll results to confirm that the best thing Harris could do for Trump right now is make more speeches
Nanny State
“Too many Americans have an addiction to government. Politicians encourage dependency because it helps keep them in office with all the benefits they receive, even if their constituents don’t get as many benefits as they do.” —Cal Thomas
