MAGA cultist Shane Vaughn defends President Donald Trump's celebration of the death of Robert Mueller: "If I told you Hitler died how would you respond? If I told you that Charles Manson died how would you respond? They were horrible men They destroyed lives.... You'll pardon Donald Trump if he equates Bob Mueller as a destroyer of lives."

Erick Stakelbeck declares that Trump is "the standard bearer not just for America, but for all of Judeo-Christian western civilization."

Right-wing reporter Ben Bergquam claims that "everything you see coming from the mainstream media is a lie": "If it's coming out of any of these mainstream media outlets, it's a lie. If it's coming from a Democrat, you better believe it's a lie."

James Fishback promises that if he is elected governor of Florida, he will require public schools to teach that President Richard Nixon was "a brilliant, brilliant man."

Finally, Lance Wallnau insists that he is very careful about labeling things demonic because it is dangerous to "call something extreme when it really doesn't qualify." Really? Because we have an archive full of videos showing Wallnau repeatedly calling things demonic.

Gavin Newsom’s mansion while dressed in racist caricatures of immigrants.” Chicago Sun Times, [9/12/25; AmericasVoice.news, accessed 11/7/25; Twitter/X, 10/6/25; Arizona Mirror, 11/30/22]
