Throwing stones from glass houses: “I think [Donald Trump is] morally unfit to be president.” —James Comey, hawking his political hackery book

Braying Jackass: “I’d like a lot fewer American adults and a lot fewer American children being killed by guns every single day. … Our nation values our guns more than we value our kids. And our kids are paying a real price for that.” —Obama’s Education Secretary Arne Duncan

The BIG Lie: “Our first responsibility … when we take back the House will be what it was when we took back the House in ‘06, and that is to make the future better for the American people. That is our purpose.
