Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Joy Reid, Jen Psaki, Charles Barkley, Dan Rather, and more.

Braying Jennies

“I live in Virginia. Immigration was the number one issue. … You’re thinking, like, what?” —MSNBC’s Jen Psaki

“The reason [Trump] doesn’t look old like Biden looks older: the presidency ages you when you do the job. … Donald Trump looks the same as when he ran because he was playing golf the whole time.” —MSNBC’s Joy Reid

“Republican voters … don’t vote based on economics or based on the benefits they’re getting economically from the president. They’re increasingly … voting on race. They’re voting on this idea of an invasion of brown people over the border. The idea that they can’t get whatever job they want — a black person got it — therefore drive all the blacks out of the colleges.” —Joy Reid

Village Idiot

“If I see a black person walking around with [a] Trump mugshot, I’m gonna punch him in the face. … Oh, I mean that sincerely.” —former NBAer Charles Barkley

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“When will we realize that the real racism belongs to liberals who see every Black American as a liberal mannequin, denying their uniqueness, integrity and individuality?” —Star Parker

Lack of Self-Awareness

“As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days. … When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt.” —former news anchor Dan Rather

Hot Air

“If Russia has the ability to wage a war illegally and invade another country, they outta be able to find the effort to be responsible in the climate issue. … If Russia wanted to show good faith, they could go out and announce what their reductions are going to be and make a greater effort to reduce emissions now. And maybe that would open up the door for people to feel better about what Russia is choosing to do at this point in time.” —special presidential climate envoy John Kerry

The BIG Lie

“Wages are up more than prices. Unemployment has reached historic lows. Families are finally getting a little breathing room.” —Joe Biden

Baghdad Bob

“You’re upset because the president has notecards? … He’s done more in the first three years than most presidents who had two terms. You’re asking me about notecards? … What the American people care about is how this president is delivering … for them. And that’s what he’s doing. And that’s what’s the most important thing here.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

Non Compos Mentis

“Everyone belongs at a drag show.” — “The View” co-host Sara Haines

For the Record

“In 2020, Joe Biden got 92.1% of the [Washington, DC] vote, while Donald Trump got 5.4%. In 2016, it was 91% to 4% for Hillary Clinton over Trump. In 2012, it was 91% to 7% for Barack Obama over Mitt Romney. In 2008, it was 92% to 7% for Obama over John McCain. You get the idea. No wonder the Democrats keep pushing for DC statehood. If they succeed, they’ll not only screw up the American flag, but they’ll have two additional U.S. senators in perpetuity.” —Douglas Andrews

Political Futures

“Biden came into office promising normalcy, and he has instead delivered chaos. But there’s something else going on, too. Joe Biden is losing to Donald Trump because of a dirty little secret: Donald Trump is actually the moderate in this race. … Biden abandoned the middle. And median voters are now abandoning Biden.” —Ben Shapiro

“Because the legacy media are monolithically radical on matters of politics, they keep encouraging Biden to double down on the left-wing base, hoping that by steering toward the radicals, he can boost voter turnout. But that strategy is leaving independent voters behind.” —Ben Shapiro
