Examples of Rejection in a Sentence

  1. Harlem Desir:

    We believe that the racist remarks, anti-Semitic remarks, spread through the Internet today or in other media do not fall in the category of expressing an opinion, rather there should be law that allows for us to suppress a rejection of others and a call for violence and a call for death.

  2. Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr.:

    The jury was not able to return the sentencing verdicts you were hoping for, it feels like rejection. It feels like you were asking for something and were rejected. It feels like defeat.

  3. Gwinnett County spokesman Joe Sorenson:

    The handling of absentee ballot applications and the acceptance and rejection of ballots by Gwinnett County( have) complied with the law and will continue to do so.

  4. Mitch Prinstein:

    Research now reveals that social rejection activates the same regions of the brain that are known to respond to physical pain, and also expresses dormant DNA to prepare our bodies for imminent injury. Unfortunately, this response is no longer necessary, so the expression of these genes leaves us more vulnerable to viral infections and more likely to suffer from inflammation-related illnesses.

  5. Charles Krauthammer:

    I think this argument between him and the Wall Street Journal over what is essentially two percent of the rate, I think it's slightly overexaggerated. It's not going to make any difference in the real world if there's a one or two percent lower rate, and I think what's he's doing is trying to win votes with the sweetener of the child tax credit, there's nothing wrong with that. And it's true that a pudding has to have a theme, but a tax plan doesn't have to have a theme. The theme here is that you're lowering the rate, particularly on the corporate side. You're lowering the tax on investment and return, capital gains, which is what everybody on the right has always said is the engine to drive growth. So, you've got very serious pro-growth elements in here, and you've got a sweetener for the child tax credit, that that's a rejection of Reaganism I find slightly over the top.
