Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Ilhan Omar, Jeremy Boreing, J.B. Pritzker, and more.

Faux Pas

“The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.” —National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, September 29

Spin Doctor

“Reminder, Gaza doesn’t have shelters or an iron dome. … Palestinians are human beings who have been in [sic] besieged and are deserving of protection from the international community.” —Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) (“Gaza could have built shelters. Billions in aid has instead gone to terrorism.” —Jon Levine)

Braying Jenny

“As part of achieving a just and lasting peace, we must do our part to stop this violence and trauma by ending U.S. government support for Israeli military occupation and apartheid.” —Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO)

Upright

“U.S. aid to Israel is and should be unconditional, and never more so than in this moment of critical need. Shame on anyone who glorifies as ‘resistance’ the largest single-day mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. It is reprehensible and repulsive.” —Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY) rebuking “Squad” members who defended Hamas

“Hamas fighters hide behind Palestinian civilians so they can play to Western sympathy, but that is another reason for eliminating Hamas and Islamic Jihad as threats. They terrorize Palestinians as well. The time for a ceasefire is when Israel has defeated its enemies.” —The Wall Street Journal

“Now is not a time for moral relativism. Now is not a time for moral ambiguity. Hamas is evil. They must be defeated. The means of defeating them are abhorrent. That does not change the reality of what they are or of what must be done.” —Jeremy Boreing

Then & Now

“There will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration.” —candidate Joe Biden

“There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States.” —DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

Dumb & Dumber

“Someone needs to work in Texas with these border politicians to have them stop sending people only to blue cities and blue states.” —Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker

“It’s gonna get cold in Chicago and New York very soon and there are lots of other places in the country that they might wanna consider going.” —J.B. Pritzker

A Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day

“We can’t have a rule that one can come from anywhere on the globe and come to New York City and remain in New York City as long as they want, and taxpayers must pick up the cost.” —NYC Mayor Eric Adams

Non Compos Mentis

“Under Bidenomics, you won’t have to leave home now to get a good job.” —Joe Biden

Belly Laugh of the Day

“We have strength on our side. We have competency on our side. What we are doing is popular with the American people.” —Kamala Harris

And Last…

“When I look around, I see Biden and the radical Left using race and class to divide our country. It spurs my soul. Poor black kids deserve better than the leadership we’re seeing in blue cities and around the country. I was that poor kid. I am living proof the American Dream is alive and it is well.” —Senator Tim Scott (R-SC)
