Friendly Fire

Re: The Left

“Here we are, two months after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and little more than a year removed from two attempts on President Trump’s life, and Virginia’s incoming chief law enforcement officer wants to shoot Republicans in the head.” —Nate Jackson

Political Futures

“Many of our political allies believe that Mamdani will be the ‘kiss of death’ for the Democrats. That’s wishful thinking. It would be true if it were 1980, 1984, or 1988. It was less true in the 90s, and it’s not true today when 66% of Democrats have a positive view of socialism.” —Gary Bauer

“Many of the people unhappy with the Democrat Party are people like Mamdani. They’re to the left of the Democrat Party, and they want an even more left-wing Democrat Party. They want a party led by AOC, not Chuck Schumer. Do not fall into the trap of thinking that just because the Democrat Party is unpopular there is suddenly a huge majority of conservatives in the country now.” —Gary Bauer

“I am baffled and frankly shocked at the attempts by some on the right to side against the Jews after October 7 and to blame the Jews for every bad thing that has happened in our country since. … What good is our movement if we can’t act any better than the radical left, which refuses to purge itself of the same kind of hate? … I humbly submit to all conservatives: it’s time we once again took out the trash.” —Scott Jennings

On a Hopeful Note…

“Our opponents are offering an economic nightmare — we’re delivering an economic miracle. … They want higher spending for government and illegal aliens — we want bigger paychecks for American workers and American families.” —Donald Trump
