We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

BREAM: How do you deal with the noise, left and right, that you get?

AMY CONEY BARRETT: I tune it out. I only want to know what is said about me in the news on a need to know basis. If I absolutely need to know, then my assistant or my husband will tell me.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

This is up there with accusing Obama with mishandling 9/11.

Is he hoping his supporters are so dumb they forget he was still president on Jan 6? Or is he that dumb?

Both. Both is good.

That’s quite a telling statement, Stephen Miller. I guess you’re calling all the shots now?

Tweet from Sky Marchini: “‘I’.”
Below is Acyn’s tweet quoting Stephen Miller on CNN: “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice, sleepy southern town, is anyone going to riot?”
Screenshot shows Miller speaking on the right and the interviewer on the left, with the headline: “Illinois & Chicago sue Trump over Natl Guard deployment.”
