OK. Are you saying Kevin Roberts never said these things?

  Flynn Nicholls, you meant? The author of the many non-stellar articles and IMDB.com author; his strength lies more in his work as cartoonist, animator and illustrator. It is easy to cherry-pick out a seemingly salacious quip out of context from a large document and expansively narrate and skimp on its overall goal with an intent of "poo-pooing" its document. Probably should have started with one of its goal and drill down in a critique manner, rather than go from within outward. But hey, this is a sensationalist way to go. No surprise that Newsweek selected him.

    No, Kevin Roberts. Did he say this? > "In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We're in the process of taking this country back," Roberts said. "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless, if the left allows it to be." The quote speaks for itself (and for the Republican party) regardless of who has the byline.

      A lot of good authorly quotes can speak for themselves. But this isn't one. It is missing context.

      another source for these quotes, which have paragraphs of speech between the first and second parts, https://www.mediamatters.org/project-2025/heritage-foundation-president-celebrates-supreme-court-immunity-decision-we-are https://www.mediamatters.org/project-2025/heritage-foundatio... So it should be "In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We're in the process of taking this country back...." [stuff about the recent Supreme Court decision, and how "...the [radical] left has taken over our institutions..."] "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless, if the left allows it to be."
