Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Jamie Raskin, Ben Shapiro, Mark Alexander, and more.

Missing Context

“Like Reagan, Biden battled a nasty inflation issue at the start of his term.” —MSNBC’s Chuck Todd (Unlike Reagan, Biden caused the inflation he’s “battling.”)

Belly Laugh of the Day

“[Biden] has done a record amount of work in reducing the deficit.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

The BIG Lie

“[Democrats are] absolutely unified behind Israel’s right to exist and Israel’s right to defend itself.” —Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD)

Non Compos Mentis

“We know Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinian people, or their legitimate aspirations to live with equal measures of security, freedom, justice, opportunity, and dignity.” —Secretary of State Antony Blinken, himself a Jew, seeming to forget the fact that the Palestinian people elected Hamas to power

A Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day

“These last few days have been a real eye-opening period for a lot of people — a lot of Democrats, a lot of progressives — in terms of anti-Semitism on the Left.” —CNN’s Jake Tapper

Observations

“Hamas claims their wish is to build an independent Palestinian state. They could have started the process then 15 years ago. But they did not because although they say the words, their priority is not a state for their people but the destruction of their Israeli neighbors to the north.” —Star Parker

“If you can’t see the difference between terrorists who behead babies, celebrate it, and hide behind their own children to avoid consequence, and soldiers who attempt to avoid civilian casualties, you are not ‘morally sophisticated.’ You are a fool, and a dangerous fool at that.” —Ben Shapiro

“To clear up any confusion for the morally bankrupt… Who would Hitler be rooting for right now? Thanks for playing.” —Dave Rubin

“It seems that many Westerners have forgotten how terrible Nazism actually was and how its anti-human ideology plunged the world into the deadliest war on record.” —Joshua Arnold

“The real existential threat we face as a nation is the destruction of American Liberty at the hands of the Marxist cultists typified by the Biden administration. That Marxist cult involves not only climate but race and gender as well.” —Nate Jackson

“The vast majority of alcohol users possess and use it legally and responsibly. Likewise, the vast majority of firearm owners possess and use them legally and responsibly. Enacting a prohibition on firearms is tantamount to enacting a prohibition on alcohol. In both cases, only law-abiding users are penalized while outlaws ignore the law.” —Mark Alexander
