Village Idiots
“It’s time to talk to your neighbors. Find out if they’re MAGA or not. Sorry, but we have to know who’s on our team and start to plan. … If you’re silent, you’re complicit.” —actress/“comedian” Kathy Griffin
“People are being murdered. … It’s hideous. And so if we can do anything out here to support the movement to cast ICE out, to delegitimize this unbelievably criminal organization, then that’s what we should be doing.”“ —actress Olivia Wilde
"They’re blatantly murdering U.S. citizens, detaining five-year-olds … patrolling schools and churches. So imagine what they’re doing behind closed doors at detention centers with no cameras around.” —actress Eva Longoria
“This is time for a revolution. … They can’t take us all down. If the whole world showed up on Putin’s doorstep or the Iranians’ doorstep or in Washington … they’ll kill 500, 50 million or however, but the rest of us would survive.” —actor Giancarlo Esposito
“Do not compare ICE or Border Patrol agents to the Nazis. That’s an unfair comparison. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.” —"comedian" Stephen Colbert
Chilling
“This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis. That’s what they are. … If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you.” —Soros-backed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner discussing plans to hunt down ICE agents
For the Record
“Under the president’s leadership, we have the most secure border in the history of this nation, which means less women are being raped, less children are dying crossing that border, less fentanyl is getting into this country to kill Americans, less known suspected terrorists are crossing the country. … A secure border saves lives.” —Border Czar Tom Homan
“I didn’t come to Minnesota for photo ops or headlines. I came here to seek solutions, and that’s what we’re going to do, and we’ve come a long way.” —Tom Homan
“I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March if the rhetoric didn’t stop, there was going to be bloodshed, and there has been. I wish I wasn’t right. I don’t want to see anybody die. Not officers, not members of the community.” —Tom Homan
Re: The Left
“These highly organized ‘protest’ events have been ginned up by those who want to distract the public’s attention away from the money laundering that is taking place under the guise of government ‘grants.’” —Laura Hollis
“Divulging anything vaguely negative about a victim whom liberals like is abhorrent, beyond the bounds of decency — even if the information is true, relevant and important. On the other hand, if liberals don’t like you, the worst thing you ever did in your life will be front-page news the day after the government kills you.” —Ann Coulter
