I want no part of peace with savages who throw acid on and gun down young girls going to school. I would prefer to crush them and kill them wherever they exist. That’s not being a warmonger. It’s being a realist.

You had 42 blacks that ran on the Republican ticket this Cycle, 14 made of them made it to the general election and two of us made it to the House of Representatives. So I think that there is a new movement that needs to have a voice in the Congressional Black Caucus.

There's a dishonest tyranny in the liberal/progressive/socialist agenda that comes down and says 'we are here because we care about you we want what's best for you'. But really what they want is the control of your life.
