I`m running for president in 2024. I`m going to primary Donald Trump.

I have to tell you, watching the fist-bumping and the high-fiving at the end, it was nauseating.
The whole Iraq War debacle began with a lie from the Bush administration that connected it to 9/11.
Trump becoming a -- basically a streetwalker for the Saudi golf tournament does not surprise me in the slightest.
The only solution for this is to raise the political cost of doing this kind of cruel and horrible thing and vote these sons of bitches out.
Trump is golfing for money, as you said, streetwalking for cash from the Saudis.
These folks deserve this. And a few months ago, the Senate voted for it. But now they have decided to politicize it.
They were trying to disenfranchise their customers. They were trying to disenfranchise America more broadly.
This dynamic that's happening in D.C. right now, it really shows you that these companies do not share American values.
The thing that's happening here is that Washington is a very comfortable town for lobbyist who go to their corporate sponsors and say, hey, I'm going to go call McCarthy. He'll take care of this.
They will be the errand boys of Donald Trump. They will be his enablers, and that will be it.
This is the classic authoritarian slide. And if they take power again in the fall, they will be the errand boys of Donald Trump.
They will be looking for ways to justify giving the dear leader, whether it’s dear leader Ron or dear leader Don, the boost they need, and using this as a method to intimidate primarily voters of color.
If Ron DeSantis is going to form his own electoral police force, he needs to start in The Villages, a Republican hotbed, where the only cases of voter fraud... came from.
They want to say who can vote, when they can vote, how they can vote. When the votes are counted, they want to have a veto of that vote count at the end.
They would like 2024 to be the last election. They want to be like the Baath Party in Iraq.
I have enormous respect for what Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are doing right now.
This isn’t a conservative political party. They are a bunch of authoritarian kleptocrats.
This isn`t a conservative political party. They are a bunch of authoritarian kleptocrats.
Because the real leader of the house now is Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Republican Caucus in the House, at least. She is effectively the Minority Leader.
the country is going to think there's a child cannibal sex ring under a pizza restaurant running the world.
I spoke to two members of Congress today who told me that -- one of them said flat out, if I vote against it, I will never know when they'll kill my wife or my kids or me.
