Examples of Salem in a Sentence

1. Filmmaker Leslee Udwin:

   Of course, the India government ban has ensured that this film now does proliferate on the Internet, but I have to tell you I am respectful of laws, in any country, and because there is a footprint of YouTube or torrents in India, it is my duty to bring that film off those channels and that is what I do, i will not break laws. I am respectful, I am moral, I have integrity, despite the witch hunt – this Salem-like witch hunt against me by those who are more interested in hiding their shame than saving their women.

2. Bob Corrigan:

   I mean, Mark Brown/Getty Images's shocking, right, we're less than three hours away from getting on the bus to go play a game. It's not 24 hours, 48 hours or any of those things. I've been looking at my watch all week and trying to figure out ‘ What time is it ? How close are we ? ’ Then you get that phone call and it's hard not to be angry. Devin Leary of the North Carolina State Wolfpack in action against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons during their game at Truist Field on Nov. 13, 2021, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Wake Forest won 45-42. ( Grant Halverson/Getty Images).

   The Salem witch trials gave more due process to the accused, Donald Trump absurdly claimed, though Donald Trump refused to participate in the impeachment process after The Democrats invited The Democrats to do so. The claim drew an exasperated rebuke from the mayor of Salem, who noted that the 1692 trials targeted' powerless, innocent victims' -- women who died horrific deaths.

4. Steve Burton:

   'Beyond Salem 2' is special in the sense that our daytime fans, you know, they're so loyal, that's why we're doing what we're doing. They just want more content. And Peacock is putting this limited series on and the fans are loving it.

5. Tom Selleck:

   I did a Salem billboard for about 500 bucks and forever since I’ve been called the Marlboro Man. I did commercials and maybe four still-photography jobs to pay the rent, but in those days, being known as a male model didn’t help your career.
