The BIG Lies
“We have not seen that play out.” —Arizona congressional candidate JoAnna Mendoza regarding President Trump’s stymieing of illegal immigration

“The NDAA … includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF.” —New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“The SAVE Act is the tool … to interfere with the precious right to vote.” —New Jersey Congressman Herb Conaway

Race Bait
“I believe that [the SAVE Act] will disproportionately affect African American voters. … It reminds me of having to count jelly beans in a jar. It reminds me of having to … answer citizenship questions for black people to vote.” —"The View" cohost Sunny Hostin

Godwin’s Law
“What is there to protect our democracy to make sure that it sustains through the next wannabe king or next wannabe little Hitler?” —Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett

“The president of the United States of America is engaged in ethnic cleansing.” —Texas Congressman Al Green

Village Idiot
“These f***ing rapists. … [Donald Trump] is, like, all up into 13-year-olds. … Go to jail.” —actor Alan Ritchson (“At what point do we start seeing defamation lawsuits? Because the impunity with which leftists are allowed to publicly claim that Donald Trump abused children is just unreal.” —Brittany Hughes)

Sexism Bait
“The U.S. just hosted the World Cup. What do you think is harder: getting Americans to care about soccer or getting Americans to care about women?” —The Daily Show’s Desi Lydic

Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud
“The whole strategy is to put an end to the Trump presidency, the end to this corruption, and a checkmate to a Congress that’s acted like a rubber stamp. Anything that is distracting from that, that is a burden on that, is exactly that — a distraction and a burden from what we as Democrats believe.” —Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel

Political Futures
“The DSA has been very helpful in publishing a platform. … It is a blueprint for destroying the U.S. government. They would abolish the Senate. … They would get rid of the presidency and the Supreme Court, and replace them with a new sort of executive underneath the Congress. And, of course, everything would be free. There would be no prisons. They would get rid of the Department of Defense, too.” —Byron York

“It couldn’t be clearer what the DSA wants: The democratic socialists want to finish the job, launched by Barack Obama on the precipice of presidential victory in 2008, of ‘fundamentally transforming’ the United States. … They are serious. And that makes them not just naive but dangerous.” —Josh Hammer

Food for Thought
“Longevity in office, we’re told, produces wisdom, steadier judgment and better public policy. It’s an appealing argument. It also invites a simple question: If experience matters so much, where are the results? … If experience naturally produced better governance, one would expect Congress to enjoy greater public confidence than ever before. … Washington has confused seniority with statesmanship. They are not the same thing.” —Armstrong Williams

Re: The Left
“The truth is that men are not and cannot be women. The truth is that it is unfair for young girls to be forced to compete against larger and stronger boys who claim to be girls. The truth is that it is dangerous and demeaning to force girls to share private spaces with boys. … The sad truth is that many young female athletes are afraid of speaking honestly about how they feel in these situations because of how hateful and intolerant the Left has become.” —Gary Bauer

And Last…
“Many Democrats hate [Benjamin] Netanyahu, hate America and hate Donald Trump because Trump, Netanyahu, America and Israel keep killing their Islamist allies.” —Gary Bauer
