Non Compos Mentis

“Now, I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine… Ladies and gentleman, President Putin.” —Joe Biden

“I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president did I think she’s not qualified to be president.” —Joe Biden

Grand Delusions

“[Biden] is as sharp as ever.” —Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jared Bernstein

“He’s not getting the recognition and credit for how well he is doing out on the stump.” —Senator Chris Coons (D-DE)

Spin Doctor

“We can’t set a bar so high that who Joe Biden has been for 30 years can’t clear it. He’s always had a slight stutter.” —Sen. Chris Coons

For the Record

“For three and a half years, Democrats have covered up Biden’s cognitive decline. They have intentionally misled the American people.” —House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)

Race Bait

“Public opinion hasn’t caught up with what [Kamala Harris] is doing out there. And also, we live in a country that is sexist and racist, so, like, there is that.” —former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki

Shot/Chaser

“The extreme-MAGA Republican agenda is to jam Trump’s [read: The Heritage Foundation’s] Project 2025 down the throats of the American people.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

“The only thing that matters in this election is keeping Donald Trump and Project 2025 out of power. Keeping that insane ideology of white Christian nationalism and white supremacy and white male Christian dominance out of power.” —MSNBC’s Joy Reid

“Project 2025 is an obvious and chilling blueprint for a Christo-fascist future.” —"comedian" Stephen Colbert

“One way to measure the power of conservative policy proposals is to monitor the reaction of the left. The Heritage Foundation’s ideas for the next conservative president to implement must be good because liberals are hysterical in their opposition.” —Cal Thomas
