  • Jenna Ellis said the Trump administration's National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving event smacked of "gospel grift" while Todd Starnes was unimpressed by the "weird theology" preached from the stage and the "tepid crowd."
  • Sen. Tom Emmer insists that its disingenuous and dishonest for Democrats to complain about the cost of President Donald Trump's billion dollar ballroom at a time where "there's all sorts of good news about the economy."
  • Lance Wallnau continues to insist that the FBI fomented the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection because he cannot understand the difference between an undercover agent and a paid informer. 
  • Dale Partridge asserts that it is not racist to say that "Third World nations are mostly filled with high crime and low IQ populations made up of Muslims and Hindus who worship demons, marry their cousins, eat bugs, and fill their rivers with trash."
  • Finally, Mark Meckler declares that "the Democratic Party has always, always, always been the party of racism": "Democrats are racist."
