“I think if [Thomas] Jefferson was alive today, he’d be hand-in-hand with AOC. That is the liberal, kind of milquetoast, whitewashed Christianity of the left. The Joe Biden Christianity. It has no teeth. It has no strength. It has no endurance.” Taylor Marshall – American traditionalist Catholic writer and a former Episcopal Church priest. He converted to Catholicism and became an activist of Conservative-Right Catholicism. Full story at Media Matters

I do think that if even half of it is true, then he’s toast.” Bill Barr, former US Attorney General in the Trump Administration.
‘If Republicans don’t block voting rights, Democrats will allow “child molesters” and “illegal aliens” to vote and Republicans will be out of power for years’. 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.
