Troy Jackson: "As late as 2024, the FBI was circling around Sen. Collins ... then when President Trump came back, his administration dismantled the investigation. Now she votes with Donald Trump 96% of the time. Look, I don't owe Donald Trump nothing."

Troy Jackson on the Iran War: "Sen. Collins voted for it 5 times before she started voting against it. By that time, we're already into it and we're in another forever war that you just heard her say, it's not thought out, we don't know what we're doing, but she made sure that it happened."

Q: Why did you change your minds, sir, on the taxpayer-funded ads and will you reimburse the government for the millions of dollars you already spent? TRUMP: The ads were really good. They were promotion for the country. Ahhhhhh. Done by many presidents before, so we'll decide.

Trump: "FoxNews spends more time covering Jihadist and Dumocrat candidates than they do the good old fashioned Republicans, the people that have saved America.

They don’t show my record breaking Rallies the morning after, but others do, and that’s what MAGA is watching. Fox is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA.

When they lied about policy or statistics repeatedly or tried to shift blame elsewhere they fooled a lot of gullible people. But when they started lying about things that even the cult knows more about than these out of touch weirdos, that’s when they lost the plot.
