Best Quotes of the Week – April 2, 2022

“Attorney General Garland, do your job so we can do ours.”

Rep. Elaine Luria, to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on pursuing former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows over the January 6, 2021 insurrection

Meadows has refused to cooperate with investigators, but the U.S. Department of Justice has seemed reluctant to hold him in contempt of Congress.

“Ultimately, the momentary exchange between three wealthy and powerful celebrities pales to the systemic ills and public health crises and international war crimes we are daily immersed in, but it’s also a microcosm of what’s at stake as we face all of them.”

John Pavlovitz, about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at last Sunday’s Oscar ceremonies

“The Department of Justice has a duty to act on this referral and others that we have sent. Without enforcement of congressional subpoenas, there is no oversight, and without oversight, no accountability — for the former president, or any other president, past, present, or future. Without enforcement of its lawful process, Congress ceases to be a co-equal branch of government.”

Rep. Adam Schiff, in a statement to U.S. Attorney General Garland about Mark Meadows

Worst Quotes of the Week – October 31, 2020

“We are not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation areas.”

Mark Meadows, White House Chief of staff, on CNN

“One thing we’ve seen in a lot of the Black community, which is mostly Democrat, is that President Trump’s policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that they’re complaining about.  But he can’t want them to be successful more than they want to be successful.”

Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, on “Fox & Friends”

“We’ll have to see if it’s a problem, right?  People are entitled to say maybe it was a problem, maybe it wasn’t.”

Donald Trump, on an alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer by right-wing extremists

“Because women, suburban or otherwise, they want security.  They want security.  They want safety.  They want law and order.  They have to have law and order, and we’re gonna do great.  And I love women, and I can’t help it.  They’re the greatest.  I love them much more than the men.  Much more than the men.  So I’m saving suburbia.  I’m getting your kids back to school, get your kids back to school.  And you know what else?  I’m also getting your husbands — they wanna get back to work, right?  They wanna get back to work.  We’re getting your husbands back to work, and everybody wants it.”

Worst Quote of the Week – July 25, 2020

“I would never ask someone to vote against their conscience, but I would challenge them to reconsider how their conscience is framed.  Remember that by voting for Trump, you’re effectively voting for many more people. Sure, Trump’s name is on the ballot for president, but you’re also voting for Mike Pence.  You’re voting for outspoken Christians like Mark Meadows, Mike Pompeo, and many other committed non-carnal Christ-followers.”

John Reid, in a column for “Christian Post”.

Reid also declared: “If you’re a Christ-follower who’s wrestling with whether to vote for Trump in 2020, I get it.  I understood your plight in 2016 and I understand it now, though less-so now.  I’ll admit that in 2016 I abhorred the man’s behavior and I certainly wasn’t confident that Donald Trump would be the conservative policy-pusher that the Christian-right wanted.  But I have no reservations now, and, my brothers and sisters in Christ, neither should you.”
