Shot/Chasers: Part I

“This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy.” —Kamala Harris

“Does anyone think Kamala can handle a recession? She can’t even handle taking a question from the press.” —RNC

“She is beyond word salad. She is now churning out word slaw.” —Ben Shapiro

Shot/Chaser: Part II

“Trump’s false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans to enrich oil and gas executives at the expense of the middle class.” —Harris campaign

“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.” —Kamala Harris, 2019

Dumb & Dumber

“Such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president. … You’ve got Teddy Roosevelt up there. And he’s wonderful. I don’t say take him down, but you can add Biden.” —Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

“The democratic world must stand up for the rule of law in Venezuela and oppose Maduro’s assault on the electoral process and free speech. The right-wing attack on democratic institutions anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.” —Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) (Spoiler alert: Maduro is a Marxist.)

For the Record

“At the end of the Trump Administration, Iran was isolated, broke, and weak. Under the Biden-Harris team, Iran has made hundreds of billions from oil sales to fund terrorism. Of course Iran wants a second Biden-Harris term.” —former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

Upright

“I think we ought to replace DEI with DEI. … Three things that America desperately needs to bring back to its government, to its education, to its businesses, to its industry, to every corner. Three words that need to be brought back in this country. And those words are these: Discipline, excellence, and intelligence. That is what needs to come back to America.” —North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R)

And Last…

“If Kamala Harris and the Democrats’ vision for America is the new normal, then it’s high time to #MakeAmericaWeirdAgain.” —Jennifer Galardi
