Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from James Carville, Tim Scott, Elon Musk, David Harsanyi, and more.

Race Bait

“The reason I suspect that most of these [Republicans] describe themselves as pro-Israel is because the Jews are whiter than the Palestinians.” —Democrat strategist James Carville

Upright

“Going after businesses for ‘price gouging’ is nothing more than a deflection from the real issue — inflation. President Biden and VP Harris ushered in the most inflationary spending we’ve seen in modern times. They own this crisis and the pain it’s caused working Americans.” —Senator Tim Scott (R-SC)

“Inflation is caused by the Federal government spending more than it earns, because they just print more money to make up the difference. To solve inflation, reduce wasteful government spending. Your tax dollars should be spent well, not poorly.” —Elon Musk

“You don’t have to imagine what a Kamala Harris presidency would be because you are living through that nightmare right now.” —Donald Trump

For the Record

“The last time the vice president of the United States had a press conference was December 2023. The last time she sat down with any media was June 24, when she was interviewed by the sycophants on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe.’ Before that was the ‘Momala’ Harris interview with Drew Barrymore, which might be the most cringeworthy display of fawning in recorded history. … Harris hasn’t spoken to a hostile outlet in years. She won’t even take questions from her fans.” —David Harsanyi

Political Futures

“He who controls the narrative and framing necessarily controls the result. Every good trial lawyer knows this. And so should every good politician. … If Republicans can successfully frame the 2024 election as boiling down to the actual issues — and above all, the economy, inflation, immigration and crime — then they stand a strong chance of prevailing. But if Democrats and their media propagandists can successfully frame the election as a subjective ‘vibes’ competition or a mere high school-like popularity contest, the GOP could very well lose.” —Josh Hammer
