The BIG Lies

“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.‘s bust sits inside the Oval Office — handpicked by President Biden.” —The White House (“Biden did not … handpick the bust of MLK (that was Obama) or even decide to return it to the Oval Office (Trump kept it there).” —Spencer Brown)

“Eighty-one percent of [registered Republican voters] agree with Donald Trump that … Nikki Haley has poisoned blood and is poisoning the blood of the United States.” —MSNBC’s Lawrence O'Donnell misrepresenting what Trump said at a campaign event about certain illegal immigrants such as criminals, terrorists, the mentally ill, and the otherwise diseased

Dumb & Dumber

“This is a state that is over-represented by white Christians.” —MSNBC’s Joy Reid saying the quietly racist thing out loud about the Iowa caucuses

“This election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans.” —Joe Biden

Spin Doctor

“Until people truly feel the benefit of this economy … they haven’t been registering in the polls that they’re in favor of the people who created this opportunity for them.” —Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker

Non Compos Mentis

“We must normalize massacres as the status quo.” —The Nation correspondent Mohammed El-Kurd

“We must root [Zionism] out of the world.” —Mohammed El-Kurd

Useful Idiot

“We are all aware of the horrors that Israelis went through on October 7th, and are still going through — but to not even mention the atrocities that Israel and the IDF have put Palestinians through is ridiculous. Just under 25 thousand people have been murdered by the Israeli government (and the IDF has raped and mutilated both women and children) and half a million people are starving.” —MSNBC producer Nicole McReynolds

Veep Thoughts

“I love Gen Z. … If someone is 18 years old today, they were born in 2005. Oh yeah, check that out. Think about that for a minute.” —Kamala Harris

For the Record

“There will be clamor from Trump’s camp and his supporters that DeSantis and Haley are just wasting their time and money, hurting the Republican cause by continuing this primary. But that rings no different than calls to 'stop the count’ when you’re ahead.” —Ben Domenech

“Where is the noble rhetoric from campaigns and presidencies past? Why the constant putdowns? Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Iran’s ayatollahs don’t get smeared as much as the presidential candidates who revile each other. We’ve regressed from the schoolyard to the barnyard.” —Cal Thomas

And Last…

“If you say ‘men give birth,’ we all know your position on Hamas. Now, why is that? … Reason No. 1: When people have a distorted moral value system, that distortion applies to just about every issue. … Reason No. 2: People who say that men give birth also say that Israel is the villain because these positions emanate from the same aim: the destruction of Western civilization, beginning with the destruction of the West’s moral and social norms.” —Dennis Prager
