Republican Accountability

Pete Hegseth: "Should we follow the Geneva Conventions? What if we treated the enemy the way they treated us?…If you surrender, we might spare your life. If you do not, we will rip your arms off and feed them to hogs… We are just fighting with one hand behind our back."

WATCH: The Veteran Who ICE Abducted — and Is Fighting Back Here’s how we’re counter-programming DHS’s propaganda ads.

“If they can do this to George, they can do this to anyone.”

ICE brutally arrested and illegally detained George Retes, an American citizen and Army veteran.

Learn more about how we are elevating his story here:

George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.

Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇

Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

Tucker Carlson: "There are a number of fairly influential people on the Right who've just basically said out loud 'I'm for censorship and identity politics.'…The leaders of the party are totally for censorship and identity politics…I'm not voting for you."

Tucker Carlson: "The Republican Party is almost to the point where it's just useless and I'm gonna have to oppose it…I hate them too much, because they're such betrayers…You can't take my tax dollars and then refuse to do anything about child molestation."

Ben Shapiro: "Everything from [Pam Bondi's] Epstein binders to the announcement that there would be no additional charges brought with regard to people related to the Epstein case…was handled about as badly as you can handle it. Apparently she wants to keep that pattern going."

Ben Shapiro: "Pam Bondi has been talking about the possibility of a new Epstein investigation…She has handled this about as poorly as any AG has handled any issue that I've ever seen."

Benny Johnson: "Donald Trump is often called 'the President of the World.'…That's not why we elected you, damn it. We elected you to be daddy here to care for your children, which are Americans."

Michael Fanone has been fighting back against Donald Trump since January 6, 2021. Today, that means demanding transparency for Americans and accountability for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein.

Megyn Kelly: "'Hey, she was 16, what about her culpability?' Oh my god, shut up!...She was a minor! She was a child...If you're making that argument, you probably have some skeletons in your closet that you don't want me to know about." (2023)

Megyn Kelly in 2018 to Larry Nassar's victims: "These people are on notice...about the warning signs and the consequences to covering it up and putting the onus on the little girls to protect themselves."

Megyn Kelly in 2017: " If Roy Moore wants to go to the US Senate and he has a history of assaulting 14- and 16-year-old girls, it's a problem."

What happened to Megyn Kelly?

Benny Johnson implies that Virginia Giuffre did not commit suicide, and that Democrats were involved in her death in order to frame Donald Trump...

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Megyn Kelly: "We have not seen some slew of young women come forward to say 'Me too,' on Donald Trump molesting them."

Batya Ungar-Sargon: " There were no actual crimes…There's a pedophile, and then a bunch of friends who were getting massages at that point from women who were no longer underage."

“Anyone who helps me try to steal an election gets a pardon” is perhaps the most corrupt thing to happen in American history.

That “conservatives” have simply accepted this as the price of admission is the greatest moral and intellectual humiliation.

Paul Ingrassia: " George Floyd and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race... I'm quoting Ted Kaczynski, I'm changing the quote a little bit."
