The Outrageous Fox Quote of the Week Poll is back after a hiatus which I spent at dance camp and hosting my nephew for about a week afterward. But now I’m rested up enough to give a big round of raspberries to Mark Levin, the runaway winner of our last poll. Details and new nominees after the jump.
Levin’s well-deserved win was for his outrageous claim, “I will say this about our president: While he’s been president, there hasn’t even been a hint of scandal.” And yes, that was after the impeachment inquiry began. Levin seems to have been referring to Trump’s personal life but still… In any event, you can check out the full poll results here. But do make sure to check out this week’s crop of candidates below.

Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, after being asked if she had second thoughts for having agreed with Donald Trump that Never Trump Republicans are “human scum”:

Meteorologist Janice Dean, during a weather report in which a man showed off his painting of Trump saluting “his favorite item, the American flag,” and the crowd broke into Trump chants.
Oh my gosh! We’re doing weather, we’re selling paintings, it’s fantastic!
