Watching a conservative pre-show for Biden speech, in which Ben Carson claims that Biden is governing "left of AOC." (Not actually true; she wants a $10 trillion infrastructure deal.)

"I think he may be used by others, let's just put it that way."

"People are sitting in the corner with their heads down hoping that nobody calls them a racist," says Carson. "You've got to be willing to stand up for what you believe in. Might that result in some persecution? Yes."

Mike Pompeo says that the Biden admin "seems to have traded religious freedom for climate change" as their top international priority, which is definitely true. (I am not being sarcastic, that's true.)
