I Didn't Say It ...

Cindy McCain, on being censured by the Arizona GOP for her support of Joe Biden and marriage equality:

“I’m not surprised by the continuous insults and personal attacks from Arizona GOP Chairman Kelli Ward. She’s shown how attacking Republicans like me can impact elections—her involvement in both Senate elections to replace Jeff Flake and my husband John McCain, two regular targets of her personal attacks, resulted in Democrat wins. As Chairman of the AZGOP she managed to turn Arizona blue in November for the first time since 1996. Maybe she should be reminded that my husband never lost an Arizona election since his first win in 1982; he and Governor (Doug) Ducey are the last two Republicans to win statewide races in Arizona. Now Ward sides with Congressmen (Paul) Gosar and (Andy) Biggs on supporting the mob of angry Trump extremists who attacked our Capitol, disrupted our constitutional elections process and threatened our Democracy.”

Um, it looks like you shouldn’t come for Cindy unless she sends for you.

David Hogg, Parkland survivor and gun control activist, on that video that surfaced this week of Representative, and QAnon nutbag, . Marjorie Taylor Greene stalking him on the streets of Washington D.C. and telling him she has “a concealed carry permit “and carries a gun:

“What I always says to myself is, ‘if they shoot me they prove my point.’ The reality is they can’t kill a movement. It’s funny when they say we’re paid off. There’s no amount of money you could ever pay us to do this work because it’s not why we do it. None of us want to be doing this, but we have to, because sadly, corrupted elected officials like Marjorie Taylor Greene are in Congress and would rather choose to protect guns than children. It’s just a horrific reality.”

Hogg appeared on CNN last night and urged people to Text Resign to 954954 to add your name to a petition to have Greene removed from office.

It’s legit.

Nikki Haley, former UN Ambassador, who once rightly said the former present is the worst thing that could happen to America now wants us to leave him alone after he incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol:

“Does he deserve to be impeached? Absolutely not. .. They’re trying to just kick him out the door. … I don’t even think there’s a basis for impeachment. The idea that they’re even bringing this up. They didn’t even have a hearing in the House. Now they’re going to turn around and bring about impeachment yet they say they’re for unity… I mean, they beat him up before he got into office. They’re beating him up after he leaves office. I mean at some point I mean give the man a break. I mean move on … ”

Give the man a break? He incited a riot that attacked our Democracy because he was butt-hurt he’s a loser?

I still remember South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley saying that the former president would be the worst thing to happen to this country and now she carries his water.

Off is the direction Nikki Haley should fuck.

Jimmy Gomez, California Democratic Representative, on introducing a resolution to expel QAnon nutbag Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress:

“As if it weren’t enough to amplify conspiracy theories that the September 11 attacks were an inside job and the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was staged, a string of recent media reports has now confirmed that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had previously supported social media posts calling for political violence against the Speaker of the House, members of Congress, and former President Barack Obama. Such advocacy for extremism and sedition not only demands her immediate expulsion from Congress, but it also merits strong and clear condemnation from all of her Republican colleagues, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Her very presence in office represents a direct threat against the elected officials and staff who serve our government, and it is with their safety in mind, as well as the security of institutions and public servants across our country, that I call on my House colleagues to support my resolution to immediately remove Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from this legislative body.”

Sadly, I don’t think the GOP will ever condemn someone like this lunatic, again, out of fear of retribution. They’d rather the country fall into the hands of these tools than grow a pair of balls and stand up for what’s right.

Still, good on Jimmy Gomez for leading the charge.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Representative, on the GOP in the wake of the last occupant of the White House, and the party’s refusal to condemn—and instead, embrace—the violent right-wing QAnon and MAGAt forces:

“There are no consequences in the Republican caucus for violence. No consequences for racism. No consequences for misogyny. No consequences for insurrection. And no consequences means that they condone it. It means that that silence is acceptance. Far from distancing themselves from the most extreme elements of [his] base now that he’s out of power, Republicans are still attempting to wield those violent and racist forces for political gain.”

Again, they’re looking out for their cushy jobs and not the country and the traitors within their own party who fed the fires that attacked the Capitol.

Which is why … Vote Blue, No Matter Who.

Mitt Romney, on the Republicans who say an impeachment trial would further divide the country:

“I say, first of all, have you gone out publicly  and said that there was not widespread voter fraud and that Joe Biden is the legitimate President of the United States? If you said that, then I’m happy to listen to you talk about other things that might inflame anger and divisiveness.”

It’s funny the GOP sees impeachment as divisive but don’t see insurrection the same way. It’s because they are also terrified of getting primaried by the one-term twice impeached loser that they will not stand up for America.

And that’s the divide.
