Non Compos Mentis
“My issue with Sophie Cunningham is that she has recently become one of the most popular athletes in the WNBA. She’s got a huge platform. … She uses that platform to punch down on a group of people who are just struggling to exist, and I find that to be despicable. … There are people out there, trans people, who are losing their lives, who are being demonized at every corner in this society.” —The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill
Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes
“The mayor of New York promised to lower grocery prices, promised to do all these things that would make New York more livable — he’s doing it and they’re mad at him.” —actor DL Hughley
Village Idiot
“We do not have a country if this guy doesn’t end up in prison. … They want to talk about the Biden Crime Family? … It’s the motherf***ing Trump Crime Family to the max and everybody f***ing knows it.” —political pundit Kyle Kulinski
Friendly Fire
“I can’t come together with someone if you are willing to embrace people that loves [sic] Hamas or that thinks [sic] America deserved 9/11. … There are [views] that are unacceptable.” —Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman regarding Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed
Re: The Left
“[Senator Bernie Sanders] ultimately said, ‘Yes, I want people like Hasan Piker in my political party. We’re a big tent.’ He wants people in the party that say ‘America deserved 9/11.’ He wants people in his party that are out there idealizing Chairman Mao and the like.” —Scott Jennings
“The socialists are going to try to defeat Chuck Schumer in two years. … They’re coming for Hakeem Jeffries. … They are coming for the two leaders of the Democratic Party in the Senate and in the House. … If they think it’s a big tent, they’re about to see what happens when a tent catches on fire and is destroyed.” —Ari Fleischer
“Just imagine how New Yorkers would react on Sept. 12, 2001, if they learned that their future mayor would handpick a lawyer who defended an al-Qaeda terrorist to serve as the city’s chief counsel.” —Ian Haworth
“‘Mainstream’ leftists are angry with the DSA because they are not hiding the fact that they are Marxists. They are overtly professing their allegiance to the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. These mainstream leftists are closet, covert Marxists and prefer to use deception to still attain their goals.” —Allen West
“The American ideal is rooted in individual rights, freedoms, and liberty, not the warmth of collectivism. The men who would cross the frozen Delaware River 250 years ago this December would be appalled at the cancerous ideologies we have allowed to fester in the cells of our Republic.” —Allen West
“Everything that directly impacts your life— affordability, safety, cultural stability— all of it is downstream from immigration. The choice to vote for a Democrat Party committed to opening our borders to the world is a choice to commit civilizational suicide.” —Texas Congressman Brandon Gill
“I think there’s a lot of room for improvement in our country, and I believe the best way to realize those improvements is for Democrats and Republicans to have continuous, robust and public debate about all the issues. But if one of those parties is affirmatively determined to transform our democratic republic into a communist state, then we’re no longer debating the various ways to make our country better; we’re debating the merits of destroying it. And really, what’s the point of tolerating that?” —Mike Rowe
