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 somebody fell asleep in 1896 and woke up today in 2026, they would simply 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.
