Worst Quotes of the Week – November 21, 2020
“There are mail-in ballots. Some people in some places receive four or five of those, and they used four and five of those. Let’s say that they got four in the mail and they sent the four in, there’s three of them that are crying out, ‘Wrong! This is wrong. This is not right. This is deception.’ It’s crying out. There are others through software that votes have changed, you better believe those ballots are crying out, ‘This is a lie. This is not right. This is not right.’ All the way down the line, even to people who have died and gone to Heaven. … Especially if those people were born again, they’re in Heaven right now and they’re crying out. They’re crying out against the injustice of this. You cannot come against the Lord of the Sabbath, the Lord of angel armies. Angels have been dispatched; they are out there. That is why that voice is crying out. It is not just the people. It is the ballot itself.”
– George Pearsons, senior pastor at Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas, on the 2020 presidential election
“He is not president-elect until the votes are certified. So the answer to that is no. And I don’t know what basis you or anybody else would claim that he’s president-elect before the votes are certified and these contests are resolved.”
– Texas Sen. John Cornyn, on a call with various news organizations
Cornyn also admitted Donald Trump may not have been reelected.
“There are legal claims that are being challenged in court, and everybody on the ballot has certain access rights and remedies, and if they want to push that, they are able. Once those are adjudicated and the process plays out, I will accept the results of the election.”
– Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, refusing to acknowledge that Joe Biden won the state

– Kayleigh McEnany, White House Press Secretary, in response to health care officials’ advice not to have large family gatherings for Thanksgiving

Most Delusional Quote of the Week – November 14, 2020
“I think at this point, it probably will make its way up to the Supreme Court. Right now, we’re at the district court level. And we will see how they rule in Pennsylvania and on our upcoming lawsuits here in Michigan and elsewhere. And I think it’s really anyone’s guess where this goes.”
– White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, regarding Trump’s legal challenges to the recent elections
An older, openly-gay friend of mine who served in U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War, refers to McEnany as “Pussy Galore”, the fictional villainess in Ian Fleming’s Goldfinger who turned a failing troupe of female trapeze artists into world-class cat burglars. I’m starting to see why. Honor Blackman portrayed “Pussy Galore” in the 1964 film version. Fleming later said she was a lesbian “cured” by the charms of James Bond.

Worst Quotes of the Week – November 14, 2020
“Whistleblowers and tipsters should turn over their evidence to local law enforcement. Anyone who provides information that leads to an arrest and final conviction of voter fraud will be paid a minimum of $25,000.”
– Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, offering $1 million from his own campaign to anyone anywhere in the U.S. who can prove voter fraud
Jim Clancy, former chairman of the Texas Ethics Commission, said handing out large sums of reward money may be improper if it’s being used to help prove Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud.
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman had this response:
“Let me tell you something. Every Christian, every pastor out there that voted for Joe Biden last night, you have brought a curse upon yourself and your family, your children, and your children’s children down to the third and fourth generation, and you need to repent. You cannot call yourself a Christian and call yourself a [Democrat] and vote for Biden. You are implementing the dark agenda. Satan’s agenda. The kingdom of darkness. You are not supporting the kingdom of God. And if you cannot see that, if you do not repent, judgment will fall upon you, I believe, and your family and your children’s children down the third and fourth generation.”
– Mark Taylor, QAnon conspiracy theorist and self-described “firefighter prophet”, on Christians who voted for Joe Biden
“We have 11 million people in our country who have already had COVID. We should tell them to celebrate. We should tell them to throw away their masks, go to restaurants, live again because these people are now immune. But Dr. Fauci doesn’t want to admit to any of that. Dr. Fauci’s like, ‘Oh, woe is me.’ Until the election occurs, and now, maybe he’ll be changing his attitude.”
– Sen. Rand Paul, encouraging Americans to get rid of their face masks
“You can’t say that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. Until very recently, that’s what the vast majority of Americans thought. Now it’s considered bigotry. That this would happen after our decision in Obergefell should not have come as a surprise. Yes, the opinion of the court included words meant to calm the fears of those who cling to traditional views of marriage. But I could see, and so did the other justices in dissent, where the decision would lead.”
– Associate U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, about the landmark same-sex marriage case, in a speech to the Federalist Society
Alito noted that such cases are tantamount to the oppression of religious liberties.
