Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Karine Jean-Pierre, Joe Scarborough, Seth Dillon, Dennis Prager, and more.

Gaslighting

“There’s no alarm happening behind the scenes. I can only speak behind the scenes here. There’s no alarm happening behind the scenes, and I’m certainly not going to comment on everybody who has something to say.” —Karine Jean-Pierre on Democrat consternation over Joe Biden’s age

Unhinged

“He’s not a normal candidate, he is running to end American democracy as we know it. … He led an insurrection against the United States government. … If you wanna be fair then you will frame this as Joe Biden being the candidate that supports American democracy and Donald Trump [being] a candidate who supports a new form of government here that’s authoritarian. … He will do, he will get away with, he will imprison, he will execute whoever he’s allowed to imprison, execute, drive from the country. Just look at his past, it’s not really hard to read!” —Joe Scarborough

Political Futures

“[Joe] Biden may be old and unpopular, but that alone doesn’t guarantee GOP victories. We know this because Biden was old and unpopular during the midterm elections in 2022, when Republicans struggled to recapture the House and surrendered full control of the Senate majority to Democrats. Republicans relying on coasting to wins just based on Biden’s numbers are going to be disappointed, and it will be their fault if they do so with the same loser retreads at the helm who have overseen the last five years of election letdowns.” —Zachary Faria

Fiscal Futures

“Debt has been a major contributor to the decline and in some cases collapse of nations in the past. What makes our country think we can ignore basic economic rules and not suffer similar consequences?” —Cal Thomas

Re: The Left

“‘Intersectionality’ [is] why abortion protesters, gay activists, environmentalists, gun control activists and the entire Left have to support Hamas. But intersectionality is also bait and switch. While gay activists have to support Hamas, the Islamic terrorist group doesn’t have to stop throwing them off buildings.” —Daniel Greenfield

“If you believe the Hamas-loving Left is genuinely concerned about antisemitic content on X, you are an idiot.” —Seth Dillon

For the Record

“It’s time to stop saying ‘People of Color.’ It’s meaningless to classify people by skin color. It needlessly pits ‘whites’ against ‘nonwhites.’” —Vivek Ramaswamy

“Literally every human on Earth is a person of color. There has never been a colorless person. Not even sure what that would look like.” —Matt Walsh

America First

“As for the argument — offered by every America Only advocate — that America must first deal with its own problems before helping any other people on Earth, this simply means that America will never help any other people on Earth. There never was and never will be a time when America is free of domestic problems. … If conservatism succeeds in changing ‘America First’ into ‘America Only,’ you can say goodbye to American exceptionalism, and to freedom on this planet.” —Dennis Prager

Thanksgiving

“America is by no means Paradise, but on this side of eternity few — if any — nations can compare. We Americans inherited a rich and prosperous land founded on the notion of natural rights laid out in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, paid for with the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and sailors, and strengthened by the bonds of strong civic institutions that unite us despite our differences. We should be proud and grateful to call America home.” —Preston Brashers
