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

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.
