“I do believe those of you who are interested in rewriting this hateful man’s history are full of sh*t.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar on Charlie Kirk while speaking in a church

“His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who voted “No” on a resolution to honor Charlie Kirk

Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud

“Our ultimate goal is to … get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here.” —Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer

Leftist Hysteria

“It is outrageous. It’s a page right out of Xi’s playbook. This is just despicable, disgusting, and against Democratic values. Trump and his allies [are doing what] autocracies do. … I am just outraged by it. Again, this is what dictators do. This is what Xi would do. This is what Putin would do.” —Sen. Chuck Schumer (Didn’t we just have a conversation about lowering the rhetorical temperature? Wasn’t a young man just inspired to assassinate somebody because of leftist hate rhetoric comparing Trump and his supporters to “autocrats,” “dictators,” and tyrants like Xi and Putin?)

“It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.” —Sen. Chris Murphy

Re: The Left

“Once you start believing that someone who disagrees with you is evil, violence against that person can seem like justice. It makes you lose all perspective.” —Sen. John Kennedy

“Leftists who constantly accuse Christians and conservatives of being ‘Nazis,’ ‘fascists,’ and ‘dangers to our democracy’ also bear part of the responsibility for the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump and the actual assassination of Charlie Kirk.” —Gary Bauer

“If you do not like the Trump administration using power the Democrats have used, end that power. The only way to de-escalate American politics right now is to deprive both sides of the power used to attack the other.” —Erick Erickson

Make It Make Sense

“So let me get this straight… Republicans should not use the power they currently have in pursuit of justice and the common good — i.e., govern — because Democrats might one day again have and use power to undermine justice and the common good, as they always do. I’ll take my chances.” —Michael Knowles

For the Record

“If [Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries] choose to vote against this clean, completely nonpartisan CR, then they will be choosing to shut the government down.” —House Speaker Mike Johnson

And Last…

“NPR? Thought they were gone. … Are they still here? Oh, good. Congratulations. Won’t be for long.” —Donald Trump to an NPR reporter
