Quotes

  • “He is a Muslim. He can deny it, his apologists in the media can refute it, and his enablers can promote a narrative that he is a Christian. It’s a pack of lies. Obama is a Muslim and that is where his allegiance lies. Always has. Always will.”
  • “The degree to which this one Nazi collaborator has undermined the stability of Western democracies is virtually incalculable. He is satanic.”
  • “Let’s be clear. Our problem today is not black versus white. Our problem today is George Soros versus America.”
  • “#Antifa is merely a pawn in the plan engineered by Soros and the Deep State.”
  • “Asians are ruthless in war. Ask any American who fought in WWII, in Korea, or in Vietnam. Could China have engineered this virus (high contagion/low lethality) as a warning to President Trump not to interfere with the cozy globalist trade deals arranged by Clinton and Obama?”
  • “People who get what they want are often surprised when they also get what they deserve.”
