POLL: What was the worst media quote of the week? (Vote below)

 

 

NOMINEES: 

 

Bakari Sellers: Not Much Difference for Black Americans In 1896 and 2026

“If someone fell asleep in 1896 and woke up today, they would say the only difference is now negroes have a TV show and we wear nice suits. They’ve swapped out Klan Hoods for Brooks Brothers suits.”
— CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, May 11. 

 

Sunny Hostin: Trump Only Wants “American-Born White Children” 

Co-host Sunny Hostin: “I think that the intent can be questioned behind these new Trump policies. There was no acknowledgement of the black maternal mortality crisis because black women die at a much higher rate than any other demographic….This administration is not concerned about that. I think it’s true he wants Trump babies, which implies he wants American-born white children.”
Co-host Joy Behar: “He wants toddler white nationalists.” 
— ABC’s The View, May 12. 

 

Pete Davidson Makes a Sick Joke Referencing Charlie Kirk’s Murder 

“Tony [Hinchliffe] reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat.”
— Former NBC Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson mocking comedian Tony Hinchliffe at Netflix’s The Roast of Kevin Hart, May 9.
