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

 

 

NOMINEES: 

 

Sunny Hostin: Sen. Markwayne Mullin Shouldn’t Be In Charge of “Lawless Band of Masked Bandits” at ICE Because He Was an MMA Fighter 

“This man [Senator Markwayne Mullin] had been in Congress, and so he had governmental experience. He was also a talk show host. He was a construction worker. He was also a professional MMA fighter. And a plumber. I just don’t think that even with his government experience, someone with that sort of fighter mentality, who has been so aggressive, should be heading a lawless band of masked bandits!”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, March 19.

 

Elitist Jimmy Kimmel: Sen. Markwayne Mullin Unqualified to Be DHS Secretary Because He Used to Be a Plumber

“Trump’s got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne ‘Chuck Mike Bruce Dave’ Melon — Mullin. Maybe Melon’s better. He’s the now former senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. That’s right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. Well it worked for Super Mario. Why not Markwayne?”
— Host Jimmy Kimmel on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, March 24. 

 

Charlamagne: When Trump Dies, “People Are Going to Treat It Like Mardi Gras!”

“You’re, you know, going to go down as the worst president of all time because you don’t give a damn about democracy, ok? Wiping your ass with the Constitution, and on pace to lead this country into the worst financial crisis of all time. But you are also – ok – putting yourself into a position that when you pass, people are going to treat it like Mardi Gras in New Orleans!” 
— Charlamagne Tha God on The Breakfast Club, March 23.
