We watched 135+ debates so you didn’t have to — and Democrats said some crazy things.

Here are some of the most insane debate moments from Democrats this cycle.

🧵 THREAD.

Minnesota Democrat Rep. Angie Craig: “I will never stop standing up for Big Pharma and standing against my constituents!” #MN02

Oregon Democrat Tina Kotek called for "meth stabilization center[s]" in Portland — "in addition to making [full drug decriminalization] work." #ORGov

🤨

Arizona Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly said he’s “been focused on the border since day one.”

Then @bgmasters roasted him: "We have a wide-open southern border, so if that's the best you can do, I respectfully request you resign." #AZSen

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman: “I do not believe in supporting the Supreme Court!”

🤔 #PASen

Michigan Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer claimed kids were only out of school in Michigan only “for three months.”

That’s an offensive lie. #MIGov

Georgia Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock lied about his church evicting low-income tenants from their “sickening” apartment building — all while Warnock's church paid him a $7,400/month housing stipend. #GASen

New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul on forcing unvaccinated health care workers out of a job: “I would do it all over again.” #NYGov

“There is that 2018 interview that you said, ‘I don’t support fracking at all,’ so how do you square the two?”

JOHN FETTERMAN: “I do support fracking and I don’t, I don’t, I support fracking and I stand and I do support fracking.” #PASen

Colorado Democrat House candidate Brittany Pettersen said she wants heroin injection sites in your neighborhood. #CO07

Stacey Abrams smeared the 107 Georgia sheriffs who are opposing her candidacy as the “good old boys club.”

(REMINDER: Abrams serves on the board of an organization that promotes defunding the police) #GAGov

Wisconsin Democrat Mandela Barnes called for processing illegal immigrants “immediately for a path to citizenship.” #WISen

"The 'Inflation Reduction Act' will not, according to the nonpartisan CBO, reduce inflation in any meaningful way. Did Democrats mislead Americans by calling it that?"

Colorado Democrat Sen. Michael Bennet: No

#COSen

New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul told her Republican opponent: “I don’t know why [talking about crime] is so important to you.” #NYGov

Maine Democrat Gov. Janet Mills told a nurse she stands by firing her for not getting the Covid vaccine. #MEGov

Connecticut Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal called the Keystone XL pipeline a “distraction.”

(If Biden hadn’t canceled it on day one, the pipeline would’ve been operational in just a few months) #CTSen

Beto O’Rourke claimed “of course” he doesn’t support defunding the police.

But in June 2020, O’Rourke said “I really love" the idea of defunding the police and “in some necessary cases, completely dismantling those police forces.” #TXGov

Democrat Rep. Elaine Luria bizarrely accused her Republican opponent of wanting to kiss Kevin McCarthy's "feet and his ring and every other thing." #VA02
