Who said it? News & Views Quotes

Quote 1: "Two years ago, undisclosed dollars from anonymous donors poured into my district and helped my opponent mount a bitter campaign of lies and distortions. While any candidate knows politics can be a brutal, I was disheartened that certain groups were not subject to the same disclosure requirements as was my campaign."

Quote 2: "If there's one thing I hear most often about the presumptive choices on our ballots in November, it's a sense of bewildered disgust at the likelihood either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will be the president in about eight months. I hear this not only from disaffected Republicans but many independents and not a few Democrats.'How?' they ask. 'How did we get to this place?'"

Quote 3: "Prospective bidders, I am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American Firearm Icon."

Quote 4: "I wore a full face helmet (shield) so nobody would recognize me. Darkened shield. Took the license plate off the back. I didn't want anyone looking me up and following me home."

Quote 5: "I've looked at how kids are raised today when everybody gets a pizza and a trophy for showing up. We're not in the pizza and trophy department."
