Who Wants to Tell Him?
“There’s not a communist country on the face of the planet.” —NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo
The BIG Lie
“Nobody I know believes in defunding the police.” —Vermont Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders
Theater of the Absurd
“The president has created his own murderous task force in [Memphis] that has killed four black men.” —Tennessee Democrat congressional candidate Justin Pearson
“Elon Musk is killing our community with 69 illegal gas turbines right now in violation of the Clean Air Act … and yet the Department of Justice has tried to enter into a lawsuit saying that we need to allow them to keep killing our community so that they can kill people in Iran with Grok.” —Justin Pearson

“Look at Elon Musk. He’s not good and God knows he’s not smart. He’s the biggest bigot immigrant this country has ever seen.” —Jennifer Welch
“It is a lie that the Republicans are good with the economy. It is a lie that the Republicans give a sh*t about the troops. It is a lie that Republicans give a sh*t about balancing the budget. It’s a lie that they’re patriotic. These guys are parasites.” —Jennifer Welch
Braying Jackass
“If I hated the United States of America, I would be a Republican. … Who has done more damage to Americans broadly … than the Republican Party?” —Hasan Piker
“We are not your enemy. If you think right now in this moment in time that the Left is your enemy, then you’re a Republican, then you are a fascist collaborator.” —Hasan Piker
“This 9/11 stuff is just only being weaponized as a way to make Muslims and Muslim candidates look bad. It’s a permission structure for Islamophobia. … It’s so racist.” —Hasan Piker
“I’m 100% closer to the prison abolitionist perspective … because, oh my God, you guys literally fantasize about the violent crimes that someone might have committed… Americans sometimes literally feel like they want to be the rapist murderers.” —Hasan Piker
Re: The Left
“I do not see the Democratic Socialists of America … as a political party. It is a subversive communist movement that, much as Islamism masquerades as a religion, operates within our boundaries in order to effectively destroy our nation. … It is a sad reflection upon our once-venerable system of education, now indoctrination, that we are raising a generation of useful idiots.” —Allen West
“[Abdul El-Sayed] did worse with actual working-class voters. As with DSA candidates like Mamdani, he was propelled to victory by young, college-educated voters in places like Ann Arbor. The Soviets called the American left their ‘useful idiots.’ However, it takes years at the University of Michigan at $63,000 a year to achieve this level of profound ignorance.” —law professor Jonathan Turley
“El-Sayed will say, ‘Well, I’m a capitalist. I’m not a socialist. I only want to nationalize the health insurance industry, eliminate border control, and confiscate wealth from the wealthy — not to do anything with it, but to level the social playing field. But I’m not a communist.’” —Noah Rothman
“Abdul is for Palestine. Mike Rogers is for you.” —Lydia Moynihan
For the Record
“Birth tourism is by definition a fraud on the American system, on the American taxpayer, on the American visa. … So if you’re telling a cop or officer you’re here as a tourist, but your true purpose and intent is to go to a baby mill, give birth, and try to mint an American citizen while you’re here, then you’re committing a fraud against the American government.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller
Upright
“When we expect government, leaders, institutions, or even ourselves to provide the security, hope, and certainty that only God can give, disappointment is inevitable. Misplaced trust eventually produces broken trust. Laws can restrain evil, but only transformed hearts produce trustworthy people.” —Tony Perkins
