Self-inflicted stings: “No matter how petulant, absurd, or outrageous President Trump’s latest tweet is, the mainstream media will so over-feverishly attack him for it that Trump will somehow end up looking like the sane one.” —Peter Heck

Hypocrisy: “The same people who say we can’t criticize 16-year-old ANTIFA climate activist Greta Von Thunberg spent months shamelessly attacking the Covington Catholic High School kids — just because they supported our president.” —Charlie Kirk

Observations: “When you hide behind teenage kids like David Hogg and Greta Thunberg and use them for human shields like you are now, what you’re really saying is ‘Hey my political arguments can’t be made by functioning, well-adjusted adults.’” —Stephen Miller

For the record: “China emits more carbon dioxide than the US, UK, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Italy, and every other EU country COMBINED. Yet somehow Greta Thunberg and her ilk have little to say to China on the matter.” —Matt Walsh

Friendly fire: “We as a country cannot afford to only stand up and fight for our freedoms when we are the targets, but when someone else is a target we turn our backs and walk away. This is a danger for all of us. … Can you imagine if Google’s CEO was a conservative Republican who was shutting down Democrat voices that they disagreed with? Can you imagine how up in arms progressives would be if it were their voices being shut down?” —Rep. Tulsi Gabbard

Non compos mentis: “In prison the determination should be that your sexual identity is defined by what you say it is, not what in fact the prison says it is.” —Joe Biden

Non compos mentis II: “When you try to take away reproductive freedom, you take it away from LGBTQ people.” —GLAAD President Sarah Kate Ellis (We hate to point out the obvious, but two men can’t produce a baby together. Neither can two women.)

The BIG Lie: “I held an AR-15 in my hand. I wish I hadn’t. It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving. And the bullet that is utilized, a .50 caliber — these kinds of bullets need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street.” —Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee

And last… “The whole idea of holding a protest, march, etc. is to get your message out, draw attention from members of the public who might not be aware of the issue and hopefully win over more support. Short of drowning people’s kittens and puppies in front of them, I can’t think of many other worse ways to win over hearts and minds than to strand someone in their car in a totally unnecessary traffic jam while advertising the cause you are supporting.” —Jazz Shaw
