Political Quotes

Donald Trump was not indicted because of what he said, he was indicted because of what he did and with all due respect to my friend, Mia Love, I don't appreciate at all the position McCarthy is in. McCarthy is a coward. He sold his soul to become speaker, so he will say whatever Marjorie Taylor Greene and the base wants to say. I think America -- look, this is so clear by now, American needs to wrap their arms around the fact that my former political party is a cult, the leader of that cult is a criminal, and the party will not abandon him. We've got to accept that.
