Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Karine Jean-Pierre, Joe Scarborough, Eric Swalwell, Ben Shapiro, and more.

The BIG Lie

“We have seen grocery prices come down over the past year or more. … A lot of that is the work that’s been done from this administration.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

Delusions of Grandeur

“We’ve gone from economic crisis to the strongest economy in the world. Literally. Record 16 million new jobs. Record small business growth. Record stock market. Record-high 401(k)s. Wages are up. Inflation is down.” —Joe Biden

Dumb & Dumber

“If you believe in American capitalism, you should be worried about Donald Trump being elected.” —MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough

“[Harris] can build on the Biden success. And she also with this joy and momentum can deliver the House and the Senate so, you know, we can finish the job. Joe Biden, you know, very selflessly has left her a job to finish.” —Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA)

Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud

“To win, Harris doesn’t need policy. She just needs vibes.” —"The Don Lemon Show" senior writer Peter Rothpletz in The New Republic

Observations

“The media act like the wind beneath Kamala’s wings, and then they praise her flying skills.” —Tim Graham

“Harris claims she’s campaigning for freedom, but her track record shows she’s the enemy of the most important freedom — free speech. She uses government power to muzzle those who disagree with her.” —Betsy McCaughey

“In a sane world, Hamas would be condemned as the evil barbarians they are, and Israel celebrated for their entirely justified actions in defense of their own sovereignty. But we do not live in a sane world.” —Ian Haworth

“Cowardice is the greatest aid to evil; in fact, it is its own form of evil, for without it, evil could never win. A West incapable of distinguishing between those who kidnap and murder hostages in pursuit of Islamist theocracy and those who seek to free those hostages is a West that simply cannot survive.” —Ben Shapiro

“What is true of housing policy or health care policy or agricultural policy is just as true of climate policy. It is very difficult for governments to knowingly and wisely change how society functions.” —Jeff Jacoby
