give quarter to

"To give quarter to the enemies of God is pathetic and contemptible," complained one woman.

They give quarter to hatred and encourage violence.

“Once the Capitol had been literally occupied, how can you give quarter to the viewpoint that caused the occupation?”

I couldn’t help but think there was a mysterious dubbing going on, the very idea I wouldn’t give quarter to when I would speak to strangers, the checkout girl, the mechanic, the professor, their faces dully awaiting my real speech, my truer talk and voice.

Which probably explains why we give quarter to all these smelly charlatans in the first place.
