Examples of Exorcist in a Sentence

1. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

   The reason Republicans hate me so much is because I confront them directly. Their moral -- their lack of moral grounding on so many issues, and, not just that, but the reason they are so upset, and they act like that girl in The Exorcist thats like vomiting pea soup, thats like them and negativity.

2. Scott C. Holstad:

   I am my own power, my own home with blackened roses gaping at softened slashed easy chairs, furled requiems of silence, yet strength too -- of poetry, of the books, of the gods. I am my Own and I intend to be the keeper of My truth, the slayer of My dragons, the Exorcist of My demons.
