--Homan in February

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."
-- Tom Homan in March

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

During Trump’s first year back in office, Delaware families paid over $1,300 more on average for housing and transportation costs due to inflation. Nationally, families paid over $1,600 more.

Donald Trump promised to lower prices on day one. Another empty promise from a career conman.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote the blueprint for our survival.

Today, we take our cues from him — not from insecure, wannabe kings who traffic in hate.
