Hate has no home here? “This is not going to be the country of the xenophobics. This is not going to be the country of white people. This is not going to be the country of the few. This is the country of the many. This is the country that was founded on the history of Native American genocide and on the backs of black slaves, but also by immigrants.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

Blame America First: “A lot of the policies that we have put in place has [sic] kind of helped lead [to] the devastation in Venezuela. And we’ve sort of set the stage for where we’re arriving today. This particular bullying and the use of sanctions to eventually intervene and make regime change really does not help the people of countries like Venezuela, and it certainly does not help and is not in the interest of the United States.” —Ilhan Omar

Unconscionable: “Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them later.” —Alabama State Rep. John Rogers (D) supporting abortion

Perpetual bitter taste: “Proximity to an amoral leader reveals something depressing. I think that’s at least part of what we’ve seen with Bill Barr and Rod Rosenstein. Accomplished people lacking inner strength can’t resist the compromises necessary to survive Mr. Trump and that adds up to something they will never recover from. It takes character like Mr. Mattis’s to avoid the damage, because Mr. Trump eats your soul in small bites.” —James Comey

The BIG Lie: “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man. … They’re not competition for us.” —Joe Biden

And last… “Good morning fellow socialists … I told you. AG Barr was shaking in his boots because he was scared to take questions from me (your boss). We all know that’s why he really backed out of the House hearing today.” —Twitter parody account @AOCpress
