In the beginning of this, he said, “If you have a problem, you blame me. The buck stops at my desk.” He has yet to take any accountability and now we know he is writing a book about his leadership in the middle of the pandemic. I think he actually should be writing condolence cards to people.

- Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean, who lost family members in New York due to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s order requiring nursing homes to open their doors to patients with corona
My grandfather’s 99th birthday would have been tomorrow. Growing up, he had to cross the street if a white person was coming. He suffered the indignity of being forced out of school as a third grader to pick cotton, and never learned to read or write. Yet, he lived to see his grandson become the first African American to be elected to both the United States House and Senate. Our family went from Cotton to Congress in one lifetime. And that’s why I believe the next American century can be better than the last.

The President did what he said he said he would do: he took action. He formed a School Safety Commission that issued dozens of recommendations to make schools safer. But I’ll bet you never heard about that. Instead, the media turned my daughter’s murder into a coordinated attack on President Trump, Republicans, and the Second Amendment. In fact, when President Trump asked me to sit next to him when he announced the Commission’s findings, the media’s first question wasn’t about protecting kids. It was about the government shutdown. President Trump turned to me and said, “Can you believe these people, Andy? We’re trying to talk about school safety, and this is what they do?”

We find ourselves in a unique situation — having an iconic slogan that doesn’t quite fit in the current environment. While we are pausing the use of “It’s Finger Lickin’ Good,” rest assured the food craved by so many people around the world isn’t changing one bit. It is a destruction of our history, something no other First Lady would have had the gall to do. This is the first time I have been furious that [the First Lady] is a foreigner. She has no right to wreck our history. It’s good to see you all. Hope you had a great weekend at your convention.

Those false promises – spread the wealth, defund the police, trust a socialist state more than your family and your community – they don’t sound radical to my ears. They sound familiar. When Fidel Castro was asked if he was a communist, he said he was a Roman Catholic. He knew he had to hide the truth. But the country I was born in is gone, totally destroyed.
- Cuban-American businessman Máximo Álvarez, who came to the U.S. alone as a child from Cuba under Operation Peter Pan, warning America at the Republican National Convention (RNC) about the danger of socialism
When I watch the news in Seattle and Chicago and Portland, when I see history being rewritten, when I hear the promises – I hear echoes of a former life I never wanted to hear again. I see shadows I thought I had outrun. I heard the promises of Fidel Castro. And I can never forget all those who grew up around me, who looked like me, who suffered and starved and died because they believed those empty promises. They swallowed the communist poison pill.

We could fact-check this convention all night. People were saying you didn’t fact-check the Democrats. They are not lying, the way Trump does. Do politicians lie? Of course, both parties engage in it… But not like Donald Trump. Nobody lies the way this man does, has, and will that I’ve ever seen in politics. So he’s lying to you.
