Notable Quotes

“I can understand wanting to intervene to help people who are addicted to drugs to lower drug infection rates, to get them into safe environments and help them get off drugs. The problem I have with this story is that for one, I think the White House is lying about not including crack pipes.”

— Tim Pool · opening statement on the main story

“Fact checker itself, I reject the phrase. I mean, it's a synonym for corporate shill for leftist propagandist.”

— Marjorie Taylor Greene · guest perspective on fact-checkers

“If there's a white dude and he's a drug addict, there's a black dude and he's a drug addict, and your program says give the supplies to the minority, that means you're going to have less white people doing drugs and more minorities doing drugs that sounds awfully racist.”

— Thomas Massie · analysis of the racial allocation of harm reduction supplies

“Okay, let's just say for a minute, all right, there's no crack pipes here, they've denied it. Does the safe smoking kit include meth pipes then? Because that's typically involved.”

— Tim Pool · questioning the White House denial

“Fentanyl poisoning is now the number one cause of death of ages 18 to 45 years old. And so Joe Biden's all for drug use, right? He's all for fentanyl. He's all for smoking meth, smoking crack, whatever it may be.”

— Marjorie Taylor Greene · guest critique of Biden administration policy
