Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Sabrina Singh, Jamie Raskin, Dan Goldman, Noah Rothman, and more.

Say That Again … Slowly

“Our assessment is that Iran doesn’t seek a wider regional conflict. … But they do support these militia groups that attack our forces.” —Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh

Can’t Fix Stupid

“Our colleagues just start chanting: ‘Russia hoax! Russia hoax!’ Well, what’s the hoax? … What exactly is the hoax they’re talking about?” —Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD)

“It now appears as if the House Republican majority is being used by Russia to interfere in the 2024 election on behalf of Donald Trump.” —Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY)

“The Republicans are willing to be used as assets of Russian intelligence, just like Donald Trump was in 2016 and throughout his presidency.” —Dan Goldman

“House Republicans have been acting as an agent or an asset of Russian intelligence for Vladimir Putin.” —Dan Goldman

The BIG Lie

“This whole Burisma thing was debunked during the first impeachment investigation in 2019.” —Dan Goldman

Dumb & Dumber

“In terms of President Biden, he’s got an incredible track record of success. And we just have to connect that track record of success with his vision for the next four years and make it clear that the things that he has presided over have been extraordinary.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

“Joe Biden is definitely the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump.” —Hakeem Jeffries

For the Record

“Many governments around the world are using this war to push for the creation of a Palestinian state… This new state would be created because of the war that broke out after Hamas massacred more than 1,000 Israelis. So, in this circumstance, Biden thinks it’s a really good idea to reward Hamas for its terrorism. But let’s say this tragedy happens and a Palestinian state is created. It won’t be ‘Palestine.’ It will be ‘Hamastan,’ and it won’t take long for that state to attack Israel, calling additional land in Israel ‘occupied territory.’ … It seems that Joe Biden is increasingly willing to sacrifice the people of Israel if it will get him reelected.” —Gary Bauer

“It should not need to be said that the impetus for the establishment of a Palestinian state by international fiat cannot be the massacre, rape, and abduction of thousands of Israelis.” —Noah Rothman

Re: The Left

“While people continue to flee Democrat-run cities, desperate Democrats are back-filling the mass exodus with illegal immigrants so that they do not lose their seats in Congress or their electoral votes for the presidency.” —Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN)

“The homosexual lobby succeeded in redefining the meaning of marriage, which many Americans thought was just a matter of ‘fairness.’ But now this movement is redefining normalcy. Now it is telling you what language you must use. Now we have men and boys invading girls’ and women’s bathrooms and girls’ and women’s sports. As a result, athletic records set by girls and women are falling like dominoes. Girls are also being cheated out of college scholarships, their hopes and dreams are being crushed.” —Gary Bauer
