WASHINGTON – This morning, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Varney & Co. on Fox Business Network to discuss his inclusion on the 2025 TIME100 Next list, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's recent attacks on White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and disturbing comments recently made by Virginia Attorney General Candidate Jay Jones.
"Because the Democrats want power in Virginia, that’s why. They’re not going to call him to drop out because they’re more concerned that if he does drop out, which, by the way, he should drop out. How are you going to be leading a state when you’re actually texting people wanting your political rivals to die? That’s craziness. But they want power. And so that’s why they’re going to stand behind him. It’s the same reason why we knew Joe Biden was not mentally with us, but they stood behind him every step of the way until it was clear that Joe Biden wasn’t with us. Then they threw him overboard. So I think what’s going to happen here is that when it is crystal clear that this guy can’t win then they’ll throw him overboard and that’s really sick. It demonstrates the lack of moral clarity in the Democrat Party. If you can’t get somebody out of a race who wished that a political rival would die. This is nuts, Stu, but that’s the Democrats for you. America, you cannot trust these people. They do not care about the lot and the lives of normal people. They only care about power."
"It’s really an honor. I’m proud of it, but I give that one to my mom":
"I’ll be honest with you, Stu, I was a little surprised [and] it’s a high honor. Honestly, as a Republican, as a conservative - never thought I would ever be on any list that Time Magazine put out. I texted my mom about it because my mom subscribed to Time Magazine for years as a kid. So I said, mom, this one’s for you. It’s really an honor. I’m proud of it, but I give that one to my mom."
