“Right now I feel like MAGA, in general, they are threats to us domestically.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“I would like to know why, in the aftermath of the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, I have still not seen even 10 percent of the criticism of ‘overheated rhetoric’ that I was subjected to when Nancy Pelosi’s husband was attacked with a hammer.” —Charles C.W. Cooke

For the Record

“Donald Trump is, in the eyes of many Democrats, the devil, the root of all evil, and the end of democracy. Some genuinely believe that if Trump is elected, 2024 will be the last free and fair presidential election for many years.” —Jim Geraghty

“Kamala Harris called Donald Trump the biggest threat to America since the Civil War on Tuesday. On Sunday someone tried to kill him.” —Clay Travis

“I wanna live in an America where the press has more access to the Democrat nominee than the assassins do to the Republican Nominee.” —Jimmy Failla

Non Compos Mentis

“It’s time we start electing the president the way we elect mayors and representatives and senators and governors — whoever gets the most votes wins, right? — rather than a convoluted, antique, obsolete system from the 18th century, which these days can get you killed as nearly it did on January the 6th, 2021.” —Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD)

Word Salad

“My approach is about new ideas, new policies that are directed at the current moment. And also, to be very honest with you, my focus is very much on what we need to do over the next 10, 20 years to catch up to the 21st century around, again, capacity but also challenges.” —Kamala Harris

“The funny thing about fact-checking is it only really is relevant when you’re telling lies. And the vice president wasn’t really telling lies on [the debate] stage.” —Harris-Walz campaign spokesman Ian Sams

The BIG Lies

“There are old ghosts in new garments trying to seize your power and extremists coming for your freedoms, making it harder for you to vote and have your vote counted; closing doors of opportunity; attacking affirmative action and the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion; banning books; erasing history.” —Joe Biden

“We went big and we went bold. … We are better off today than we were four years ago.” —Joe Biden

“Under my plan, more than 100 million Americans will get a tax cut.” —Kamala Harris

“We’re not taking anybody’s guns away. I support the Second Amendment.” —Kamala Harris

“I feel very strongly that it is consistent with the Second Amendment and your right to own a gun to also say we need an assault weapons ban. They’re literally tools of war.” —Kamala Harris

“The Trump policy is to deport everybody, whether they have a green card or not.” —Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY)

“There was no handover of U.S. equipment to the Taliban.” —National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby

“The former President repeated a baseless Internet rumor … that Harris ‘wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison.’” —TIME Magazine (A subsequent correction notes, “The original version of this story mischaracterized as false Donald Trump’s statement accusing Kamala Harris of supporting ‘transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison.’ As a presidential candidate in 2019, Harris filled out a questionnaire saying she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition treatment for detained immigrants.”)
