“What is the [Democrat] party’s message to the American people? ‘Elect us and we’ll open the borders again. We’ll make sure the number of abortions remains sky high.

And we’ll force you to pay for transgender surgeries for convicted felons.’” —Gary Bauer

“[Beto O'Rourke] suggested … he would give all of the House members who evaded Austin money to support them. So, this is what you call a quid pro quo. … That would be bribery if that’s what took place, and that is a second-degree felony in the state of Texas.” —Texas Gov. Greg Abbott

“We did not receive any apologies from the ruling class that lied to us repeatedly during COVID — the lockdowns, the efficacy of the vaccine, mask mandates, school closures.
