20th Century American Businesswomen

"I know that I'm constitutionally incapable of being talked down to."

"There are certain loopholes that should be taken away."

"There is an element of TV that is visual. You can’t deny, but you’re not going to be able to move to the next level without the passion, the contacts, the journalistic drive."

"There is no job that's beneath anybody."

"Take a job and learn as much as you can, and be open to that and really soak it in but when you realize is isn't meant for you don't forget to jump but you have to balance that with jumping for the right reasons."

"Hopefully, what more people will realize in this whole national conversation is that the only reason polio is quote-unquote gone is because of mass vaccinations."

"We need to keep vaccinating. This is not about choice. This is about our moral responsibility to our children and to other people's children."

"You can’t force people to become something that they aren’t and you can’t be frustrated when people aren’t exactly what you need for a specific thing or thought they would be."

"You have to adjust what it is they’re doing or just adjust and you can find a way to have people really thrive and succeed and participate on a team."

"I do think it’s important to acknowledge that a lot of things come to us."

"If I didn’t do it then, I wouldn’t be able to do it. I was trying to hit the sweet spot of ‘Ok."

"If I was allowed to invest in stocks, I would be a billionaire."

"If you go out and kill something, you get a little bite of the meat. And that’s the way traders have been compensated throughout time."

"I think maybe that’s an understandable reaction by some people, given the lack of understanding and the sort of closed doors around Wall Street. I see my job as demystifying Wall Street."

"But the banks, who are at the center of this, they’re actually the ones who’ve paid back their bailout money."

"I would say no, but banks and availability of credit are the most basic and important things for an economy."

"We wonder, what if we got rid of cash? After all, cash is what keeps terrorists, drug dealers and gun dealers in business."

"Money’s what makes the world go round, having a business niche is who I am, and it’s crucial."

"“Erin is the kind of all-star player that knows how to connect-the-dots and translate events into relevant information for viewers.”"

"As a people, we Americans love the theatrical art and in order that the theater may be a significant factor in our national life, we have had it said we should produce plays representative of American life. This is obviously true, but is it not true also that a generous sprinkling of Shakespeare would be a fine racial tonic for us?"

"Speaking from the viewpoint of an educator, I might mention that acting in all countries and with all races reflects and expresses to some extent the quality of life. Acting follows the drama by necessity, realistic actors for the realistic drama. And we have here in our country fine acting and good actors in plays written and cast to their type, but as for so-called 'stylized' acting, we have almost none at all. This is largely due to the fact that we are not trained in acting in the classics or in the eighteenth century drama. Perhaps the reason we have not had more Shakespeare revivals is that it is difficult to find actors sufficiently trained and capable."

"I really look forward to being between the legislative branch of government and the executive branch of government — being a person that can facilitate a real strong, solid line of communication between the two bodies."

"If you can’t be in the majority, at least be in the minority with enough leverage that you can really make things uncomfortable for the Speaker."

"We need to be looking at what this costs not only the state, but the nation, and how is it that we can continue to provide services [like] medical care and aid to all these people who are here illegally, when we have — I have constituents in this state — that are working two or three jobs just to be able to keep their insurance going and put food on the table for their children."

"If you’re going to be in a fight, you want Marjorie in your foxhole [...] When she picks a fight, she’s going to fight until the fight’s over. She reminds me of my friends from high school, that we’re going to stick together all the way through."

"Wouldn’t she be great?"

"[T]he leaders of this insurrection, of whom there were a number, were among us on Facebook, on Twitter, on corners of social media that would make your stomach hurt. The evidence will show that Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of them."

"Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. The Holocaust is the greatest atrocity committed in history. The fact that this needs to be stated today is deeply troubling."

"Marjorie is strong on everything and never gives up - a real WINNER!"

"Future republican star."

"[Reps.] Marjorie Taylor Greene and [[Paul Gosar|[Paul] Gosar]], I don’t know them. But I’m reminded of the old line from Butch Cassidy where one character says, ‘Morons, I have morons on my team.’ I think anybody who would sit down with white nationalists at their conference is missing a few IQ points."

"Assigning her to the Education Committee when she has mocked the killing of little children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, when she has mocked the killing of teenagers in high school at the Marjory Stoneman."

"Marjorie Taylor Greene’s selfishness and narcissism is part of what is screwing over the Republican Party. And while it may be good for her, in a way, she is such an embodiment of their core values that they are trying to distract the public from."

"Greene's comments are among the most anti-American ever uttered by an elected official in my lifetime. They are nothing less than someone happy to foment insurrection and undermine this country’s most basic democratic traditions in an effort to install the losing candidate just because she shares his ideology. They are the words of a woman who will, on January 3, be lying when she places her hand on a Bible and swears that she is loyal to the Constitution. If the Republican Party has any shred of dignity left, and any vanishing claim to patriotism and devotion to the United States, it needs to act and make Greene the pariah any enemy of the state should be."

"The January 6 insurrection was an attempt to violently overthrow the government and overturn the results of a free and fair American election. Close to 1,000 of the participants have since been indicted, and many have been convicted of serious crimes. Four people died that day, and five officers died in the days and weeks that followed, while more than 100 law enforcement officers were injured. Members of Congress — Greene’s colleagues — wound up running for their lives, hiding from the mobbing criminals who broke into the Capitol and explicitly threatened the lives of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and then-Vice President Mike Pence. It’s time for Greene to go. Removing a member of Congress from office is not a decision that a party should take lightly. She was, after all, duly elected by her constituents. But a requirement of serving in elected office is defending the Constitution of the United States. In a few weeks, Greene will even lay her hand on a Bible and pledge to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same." How can she truly swear that oath when she is cheering on domestic enemies?"

"And so, therefore, I believe she should not be involved in any type of sensitive, classified information. And she does have some clearances because of her role within the Congress and position on the committee."

"From my perspective, I think Marjorie Taylor Greene has demonstrated time and time again that she’s not fit to hold public office with some of her commentary that she has made, even previously."

"Marjorie Taylor Greene is the QAnon congresswoman, a far-right influencer and gun fanatic who dabbles in anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim bigotry. She endorsed violence against congressional leaders, claimed that the Parkland and Sandy Hook shootings were faked and once shared an anti-refugee video in which a Holocaust denier says that “Zionist supremacists have schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation”...Although it is tempting to make this episode another parable exemplifying the “Trumpification” of the Republican Party, it’s better understood as yet another chapter in an ongoing story: the two-step between the far right and the Republican Party and the degree to which the former is never actually that far from the latter...Extremism has always had a place in mainstream conservative politics, and this is especially true at the grass-roots level. What’s distinctive right now isn’t the fact that someone like Greene exists but that no one has emerged to play the role of Buckley. A longtime Republican leader like Mitch McConnell can try — he denounced Greene’s “loony lies and conspiracy theories” as a “cancer” on the party — but after he served four years as an ally to Donald Trump, his words aren’t worth much."

"I miss Scott terribly, and Feb. 14 is a really hard day. So, you know what? I do say to Marjorie Taylor Greene ... find your conscience. You're a mother, man up or woman up, whatever you want to say, and tell the truth."

"Jimmy Carter represents all that is good and decent in public life. And Marjorie Taylor Greene represents all that is sinister and despicable in public life."

"The big, big donors that donated all the money and continue to donate to the president’s PACs and donate to the 250th anniversary and are donating to the big ballroom. Those are the people that get the special favors. They get the government contracts, they get the pardons, or somebody they love or one of their friends gets a pardon."

"I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors."

"When the common American people finally realize and understand that the Political Industrial Complex of both parties is ripping this country apart, that not one elected leader like me is able to stop Washington's machine from gradually destroying our country, and instead the reality is that they, common Americans, The People, possess the real power over Washington, then I'll be here by their side to rebuild it. Until then I'm going back to the people I love, to live life to the fullest as I always have, and look forward to a new path ahead."

"I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms. And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me. It's all so absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a 'battered wife' hoping it all goes away and gets better."

"Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for."

"Americans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both Political Parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more. And the results are always the same."

"After Charlie [Kirk] died, I realized that I'm part of this toxic culture. I really started looking at my faith. I wanted to be more like Christ."

"I never thought that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are. And it truly speaks for itself. There needs to be a new way forward."

"The truth we are demanding, come out, on behalf of these women. But, also as a strong message, to every innocent child, teenager, women and men that is being held captive and abused. This should never happen in America, and it should never be a political issue."

"I don’t know what the h*** happened with the Republican Party. I really don’t. But I’ll tell you one thing, the course that it’s on, I don’t want to have anything to do with it, and I just don’t care any more."
