Joy Reid: Lindsey Graham Sold His Soul to the Devil, and Now He Will Meet Him In Person

“I hope you guys had a fabulous weekend. Well, you definitely had a better weekend than the Republican Caucus in the United States Senate because Hell opened its doors for at least one more….You’re [the late Sen. Lindsey Graham] going to be remembered as someone who betrayed your friends, who betrayed your country, and who claimed that you cared about relationships, but in the end, the only relationship you actually cared about was the relationship with Donald Trump. You sold your soul, you betrayed your friends, your legacy, your own soul, you sold your soul to the devil, and now you get to meet him in person.”
— Former MS NOW host Joy Reid on her podcast The Joy Reid Show, July 13.

 

SECOND PLACE (43 percent of the vote)

 

Jennifer Welch Insults Homeschoolers: “MAGA on Steroids,” “America Has a Crazy Christian Problem”

“As our caller said, Ellie….The dumbest people she knew in college were homeschooling their kids, and so, this is trickle-down stupidity. This is MAGA on steroids. This is MAHA. This is trad wife. This is un-vaxed and un-jacked and all that shit. This is the worst, worst, worst, and this shit is – America has a crazy Christian problem. We have a fundamental crazy Christian problem.”
— Former reality show star Jennifer Welch on the I’ve Had It podcast, July 14.

 

THIRD PLACE (9 percent of the vote)

 

NYT’s Mara Gay Labels Trump Officials “White Supremacists” Over ICE

“I don’t live in Maine. I’m not an immigrant, but I’m a proud American. And this administration has made every single American complicit in these deaths. This is happening with our taxpayer dollars that could be going to schools, to health care….But the other thing here is the hardliners in this administration. They don’t care about the politics because many of them are white supremacists and they don’t care. They’re cruel, and this is what they want.”
— New York Times columnist Mara Gay on MS NOW’s Morning Joe, July 14.
