January 7, 2022 Jon Ponder

Sen. Ted Cruz, like Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott and others watch Trump carefully trying to learn his dark arts.

Poetic Justice

Verbatim

“Quite frankly, you have national regime media that they wanted to see Tampa, because they thought that would be worse for Florida. They don’t care about the lives here. If they can use it to pursue their political agenda, they will do it.”

— Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) claimed that “national regime media” wanted Hurricane Ian to hit Tampa to “pursue their political agenda” without regard for the people impacted by the storm, Yahoo News reports.

“To call what happened on January 6 an ‘armed insurrection,’ I just think, is not accurate.”

— Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) repeated his claim Tuesday that the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was not an “armed insurrection,” adding however, that protesters “did teach us how you can use flag poles, that kind of stuff, as weapons,” CNN reports.

“I don’t believe that Trump is going to plea bargain. I think he could go to prison, but it is more likely that he will serve home confinement. In all likelihood, he will be convicted of multiple felonies.”

— George Conway, in an interview with Salon.

“Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey — God, he’s so disconnected.”

— New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R), quoted by Rolling Stone, on Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) push of a nationwide abortion ban.
