The BIG Lies

“There is no factual evidence to support an impeachment inquiry.” —Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY)

“To be clear, they have gathered a lot of evidence. … None of it links to Joe Biden. And that is why this is a complete farce.” —Dan Goldman

“This illegitimate impeachment inquiry … is not gonna yield a scintilla of evidence that President Biden engaged in any wrongdoing because there is no evidence that President Biden engaged in any wrongdoing.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

Belly Laughs of the Day

“This entire fake impeachment inquiry isn’t about the United States, it’s about Hunter Biden. And the only thing the president can be guilty of here is being a father.” —Congressman Max Frost (D-FL)

“I will tell you what the president has been guilty of. He has unfortunately been guilty of loving his child unconditionally, and that is the only evidence that they have brought forward.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)

Dumb & Dumber

“Not an invasion. This is not some pest. These [illegal immigrants] are human beings and that’s the way they need to be treated.” —Congresswoman Madeleine Dean (D-PA)

“No doubt about it — our border is secure.” —Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)

“[Republicans] sell fear and panic around border and crime.” —California Governor Gavin Newsom

Non Compos Mentis

“Being transgender is not a mental health disorder. Many transgender people experience gender dysphoria, or psychological distress as a result of the incongruence between their sex and their gender identity.” —Azeen Ghorayshi of The New York Times (In other words, it’s a mental health disorder.)

For the Record

“[Mitt] Romney opined that his dress code resolution was meant ‘to show the respect and admiration we have for the institution of the government of the United States of America.’ We’re all for decorum and professional attire while conducting the business of governing this great country, but we have to admit we rolled our eyes at Romney’s pompous remarks. Are we supposed to feel better about Congress simply because the men and women wrecking our nation look good while doing it?” —Nate Jackson

“For reasons far deeper than clothing, [John] Fetterman is certainly not fit to be a United States senator. But, whether he means to or not, he has a point: He’s just showing the same level of respect for Congress as Congress shows for the American people and the Constitution.” —Nate Jackson

“Common sense and sanity are not the first words that come to mind when dealing with congressional spending. They can’t help themselves because they aren’t spending their money. They’re spending our money and borrowing the rest. It’s a form of vote buying.” —Cal Thomas

“When government encroaches upon virtually every aspect of our lives, the people in control of government become more important than they deserve to be. … Americans, regardless of how they identify politically, must realize that the powerful elites are making decisions that will benefit them and destroy the standard of living for everyone else. It isn’t about ‘my guy’ being in power; it is about returning the power back to the people, where it belongs.” —Laura Hollis

And Last…

“If you turn down the sound while Vivek Ramaswamy is on screen, I remain convinced that I’m watching a 1990s late-night infomercial for a 12-CD set that will help me unlock my personal power and learn the 10 steps to transformative growth — and the free bonus pamphlet ‘Imaginomics: Turning Thought into Money.’” —Jim Geraghty
