Circling the Wagon With BIG Lies

“It is a complete farce and a sham for [Republicans] to go forward with an impeachment investigation because of Hunter Biden’s wrongdoing that has no connection to Joe Biden.” —Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY)

“The only reason I think Hunter Biden was prosecuted and charged with these crimes … is because of Chairman [James] Comer and House Republicans’ undue and improper interference in an ongoing criminal investigation. … Comer may be a great farmer … but he has no idea what he’s talking about with criminal law. … There is nothing remotely close to a FARA [Foreign Agents Registration Act] violation or to money laundering. I don’t think he knows what they are.” —Dan Goldman

For the Record

“Foreign entities and governments were funneling the cash through Hunter Biden in order to buy influence with his father, Joe. And that’s the real point, folks. Don’t lose sight of that key fact. This really isn’t about Hunter Biden. Hunter was merely a conduit for Joe Biden’s corrupt influence peddling scheme.” —Gary Bauer

“If you didn’t pay your taxes for multiple years while hiring prostitutes and holding huge parties as banks were issuing scores of suspicious activity reports, including foreign payments for no services, you’d be behind bars pretty quickly. But in Hunter Biden’s case, nothing happened because of political interference at the IRS and the Justice Department. And it was almost completely swept under the rug until one judge dared to ask a few simple questions that exposed the Justice Department’s sweetheart plea deal.” —Gary Bauer

The BIG Lies, Continued

“$400,000 a year … is way above what I ever made till I became president.” —Joe Biden (“In the first two years after leaving office in 2017, Biden made $15.6 million — including with ‘help’ from Hunter.” —RNC)

“We’ve created 14 million jobs … more than any president’s created in all four years of a term. Wages are up more than inflation.” —Joe Biden

“They started off making fun of it, calling it ‘Bidenomics.’ Well, guess what? It is Bidenomics. … Our plan is already paying off.” —Joe Biden

“All these mass murders … have been because … kids have grabbed stuff off of counters. … We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.” —Joe Biden

“The Second Amendment didn’t say you can own any gun, you can own any weapon. You couldn’t own a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed.” —Joe Biden

Lack of Self-Awareness

“It is wrong to suspend the Constitution and abuse federal power to persecute critics and trample the First Amendment.” —White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates

Baghdad Bob

“Biden has been working to protect American democracy and to unite people of all political views against these unprecedented threats we’ve seen to our democracy in recent years.” —Andrew Bates

Belly Laugh of the Day

“I’ll take Joe Biden at 100 over any of these guys at whatever age they’re at because he’s delivering.” —Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D)

Projection

“I think this is one of the most dangerous moments that I’ve ever faced in American politics, and I wish Republicans weren’t holding Israel aid and aid to Ukraine hostage to the resolution of immigration reform.” —Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT)

“If Republicans don’t get reasonable in the next 24 to 48 hours, Russia is going to march into Ukraine [and] China is going to be given a green light to invade Taiwan. … The Republicans are playing games with the security of the world.” —Chris Murphy

And Last…

“It only took the beheading, rape, & torture of innocent civilians for universities to become free speech enthusiasts. But don’t you dare call a man a man. Or else.” —Riley Gaines
