“Those cities are gone, they’re gone, and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man [President Zelensky] who refused to make a deal” – DT, 25 Sept
“What do we do to protect our kids? I unfortunately think that we have to increase security in our schools. We have to make the doors lock better. We have to make the door stronger. We’ve got to make the windows stronger,” – JD Vance, 01 Oct
“One of the things that I’ve noticed some of our Democratic friends talking a lot about is a concern about carbon emissions, this idea that carbon emissions drives all the climate change … let’s just say that’s true, just for the sake of argument.” – JD Vance, 01 Oct
“I’m the father of IVF (…) I got a call from Katie Britt, a young, just a fantastically attractive person from Alabama (…) I said, explain IVF, very IVF, very quickly. And within about two minutes, I understood it” – DT, 17 Oct
And, then, most unexpectedly…
“It is imperative to guarantee that women have autonomy in deciding their preference of having children, based on their own convictions, free from any intervention or pressure from the government. Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes. Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life.” – Melanija Knavs, 03 Oct
“I am sympathetic to all who wish to find a better life in this country. As an immigrant myself, I intimately understand the necessary if arduous process of legally becoming an American. As a mother myself, I stressed: ‘The government should not be taking children away from their parents.’” – Melanija Knavs, 03 Oct
