I Didn't Say It

Adam Kinzinger, GOP Congressperson with a brain—a rarity in the party that appears to have just one shared brain between them—on Biden’s vaccine mandate:

“I think it’s going to save lives. And the failure here comes in leaders that have basically used vaccine status as some tattoo of what political tribe you belong to. I mean, we all hear stories of people that are in very red areas that are embarrassed to say they’re vaccinated. That is insane and silly. And that is a problem with leaders, particularly Republican leaders, that don’t stand up and give cover to people. There are some Republican members of Congress and stuff putting out fundraising after fundraising email about first, it’s going to be a vaccine mandate, next thing, the Gestapo’s going to show up at your door and take your bible away. Like, that’s not going to happen and that’s playing on people’s fears.”

He’s asking people to do the right thing for health of others and yet we are such a selfish and self-involved society that we don’t care about others.

And that’s the beginning of the end.

Rudy Giuliani, who used to be known as America’s Mayor, realizing he’s now just a fool and a punchline:

“I don’t care. I am aware of that. And what’s happened is, our country has gone off the rails…I’m exactly the same person. They changed! I don’t think I’ve ever done an interview drunk. I mean, I drink normally. I like Scotch, I drink Scotch. I’m not an alcoholic. I’m a functioning, I probably function more effectively than 90 percent of the population.”

Little Freudian slip there, Rudy. You seldom ever pass a bar without going in.

George W. Bush, speaking about terrorism at a 9/11 remembrance ceremony in Shanksville:

“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within. There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit, and it is our continuing duty to confront them.”

Okay, I’m glad he compared terrorists flying planes into towers to domestica terrorists flying flagpoles thorough windows of the nation’s capital, but let’s be clear that a lot of the ills in this country can be traced back to W’s Big Lie about Saddam Hussein and 9/11 and getting us into Afghanistan..

That’s all.

Pat Toomey, GOP Senator from Pennsylvania, urging his party not to nominate Thing 45 in 2024:

“I think that the future of our party is to be a party of ideas, and not to be a party about any one individual, and I think we will learn a lot from the next set of primaries. I think after what happened post-2020 election, I think the president’s behavior was completely unacceptable, so I don’t think he should be the nominee to lead the party in 2024.”

Nice vanilla statement. Howsabout being a little more forceful if you believe Thing 45 is unfit to be president, huh?

Chris Wallace, Fox News, on refusing to have Big Lie spreaders on his show:

“There are plenty of people who were the leaders in the Congress of challenging [the election] that I just have not had on the show ever since then, and have purposefully not had on the show, because I don’t frankly wanna hear their crap.”

A rare moment of sanity from a Fox News employee.

Who knew?
