Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Mollie Hemingway, Merrick Garland, Seth Dillon, Riley Gaines, and more.

Elections Matter

“It’s just very interesting to hear all of this defense of democracy when the current strategy of the Democrat Party is to actually imprison their top political opponent and then try to keep American people from being able to vote for the candidate of their choice. That is a direct attack on free and fair elections. That is an attack on democracy.” —Mollie Hemingway

The BIG Lie

“Our job is not to do what is politically convenient. … I am not the president’s lawyer.” —Attorney General Merrick Garland

“We apply the same laws to everyone. There is not one set of laws for the powerful and another for the powerless … one for Democrats, and another for Republicans.” —Merrick Garland

For the Record

“Notice how we refer to ourselves as ‘biological women.’ I think that’s so funny because, for the longest time I did too. I thought I had to make the distinction, you know, I’m a biological female and this person is a biological male. We have to stop with that. We cannot refer to ourselves as biological anything. That’s admitting that there’s an unbiological alternative and there’s not. There is man and there is woman. There is male and there is female. There is girl and there is boy and there is mother and there is father. This idea that we can change what God created us to be is beyond absurd.” —Riley Gaines

“Using ‘preferred’ pronouns isn’t polite; it’s subservient to the point of being degrading. It’s the gender equivalent of whites kneeling and kissing the feet of blacks in humiliating submission.” —Seth Dillon

Political Futures

“Too many Republicans apparently come to Washington these days mainly to blow things up and count their TikTok followers.” —The Wall Street Journal

“The answer to questions about Biden’s age is simple: 'Yes, there’s a chance Vice President Harris becomes president — and that would be fine.’” —Washington Post columnist Perry Bacon Jr.

Professional Opinion

“Oh my god! I think it will be okay. The Republicans think I’m going to burst through the doors and start break dancing on the floor in shorts. I don’t think it’s going to be a big issue.” —Senator John Fetterman reacting to the Senate ditching its dress code

“If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week.” —John Fetterman

Second Opinion

“Much like how an entire kindergarten class must accommodate one problem child who refuses to do his work unless his own special conditions are met, we are being misled once again under the guise of a dress code. The Senatorial dress code is not the issue. The issue is the ongoing deception by John Fetterman, his family, his office and the media who will go to the lengths of bullying their own colleagues should they dare report on the accurate nature of Fetterman’s abilities.” —Stephen Miller

“John Fetterman has a doctor’s note saying he needs to be a dumb slob.” —Frank J. Fleming
