Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 6, 2018
America now knows the truth. The Democratic Party hired the Perkins Law Firm. The Perkins Law Firm hired the Fusion GPS company. Fusion GPS needed two things: fake dirt on Donald Trump, and they needed a way to inject that fake dirt into the bloodstream of our intelligence community. So they hired Christopher Steele. And then they went and hired Nellie Ohr, the wife of senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. Now, Bruce Ohr's portfolio included counternarcotics and antidrug work. But all of a sudden, after his wife gets hired from the money that you can trace back to the Democratic Party, Bruce Ohr starts taking counterintelligence meetings, meeting with Glenn Simpson and Christopher Steele, before and after the election. What should enrage the American people is the notion that cash at a political party could ever be convertible to a warrant to spy on political enemies in the United States of America. That is what we are fighting against. That is what is at issue. That is why we are going to do everything we can to hold the bad actors accountable and then institute reforms so that this type of thing never happens again. ____________________

We either get this government back on our side or we defund and get rid of, abolish the FBI, CDC, ATF, DOJ -- every last one of them -- if they do not come to heel.

We welcomed the tech bros when they came running our way to avoid the 3rd grade teacher picking their kid's gender, and the obvious Biden/Harris economic decline. We did not ask them to engineer an immigration policy.
