Non Compos Mentis

“Our city has been invaded by masked gunmen kidnapping family members and friends and neighbors of ours to send them to concentration camps. … I’m not saying they’re putting people in ovens yet, but these are concentration camps.” —Minneapolis book store owner Jamie Schwesnedl

“We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody’s going to write that children’s story about Minnesota.” —Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz

The Fix Is In

“After previously calling ICE ‘Gestapo,’ Gov. Tim Walz just compared removals pursuant to federal law to capturing people to carry out genocide. … Walz is using this reckless rhetoric as signs appeared in Minneapolis over the weekend calling for people to ‘Kill Nazis.’” —law professor Jonathan Turley

Braying Jennies

“I am absolutely heartbroken, horrified, and appalled that federal agents murdered another member of our community.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)

“These [ICE] agents are barely trained. They’re supposedly getting trained for 47 days because they wanted to have 47 after the president. That’s crazy. … They walking around like they’re hooded thugs.” —Democrat strategist Donna Brazile

Laying the Groundwork

“Even if there is an investigation that ultimately proves that at the time of the shooting it was legally justified, I don’t think that even matters at this point because there is so much outrage.” —Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara

Reality Check

“Nobody in the White House, including President Trump, wants to see people getting hurt or killed in America’s streets. This includes Renee Good, Alex Pretti, the brave men and women of federal law enforcement, and the many Americans who have been victimized at the hands of illegal alien criminals.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

For the Record

“For Kristi Noem to brand the protesters shot by ICE in Minneapolis as ‘domestic terrorists’ is just hyperbolic nonsense. And her comment about the latest shooting, ‘This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement,’ is completely baseless and serves only as an accelerant.” —Patriot Post Publisher Mark Alexander

Stranger Than Fiction

“I can think of no better excuse for New Yorkers to stay home, take a long nap, or take advantage of our public library’s offer of free access to Heated Rivalry.” —New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani peddling a gay romance novel

“The Democratic Coalition of Satan Worshippers thanks Gov. Tim Walz for not standing in the way of spreading Satanism in the State Capitol Building. Satan has a special place for you.” —a display in the Minnesota state capitol building

Sexism Bait

“So many of the best films I saw this year were made by women. You just see the barriers at every level because so many were not recognized at awards time.” —actress Natalie Portman
