In a meeting with hundreds of U.S. generals and admirals: “It’s unacceptable seeing ‘fat generals and admirals’ in the halls of the Pentagon, and leading commands around the country and the world. It’s a bad look.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Ebony McMorris, reporter for American Urban Radio Networks (AURN): “Mr. President, what are your plans for—” McMorris began (one of the few Black reporters in the WH Press Corps). “Quiet. You’re really obnoxious,” said Trump. “I’m not obnoxious, but I’m trying to ask you what about your plans for Memphis, Mr. President?” “You are really obnoxious,” said Trump (president of the USA).

They got here and they vote her in. I don’t know. It’s hard to believe. But I think she’s a disgusting person.”

Ted Cruz, Republican U.S. Senator from Texas. Same Ted Cruz who voted to force changing legal votes of Electoral College. Went so far as to incite an insurrection.
