Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Joe Biden, Chris Coons, Kamala Harris, AOC, William Barr, and more.

The BIG Lie

“Thirteen brave Americans lost their lives, along with hundreds of Afghans, in a suicide bomb. I think [of] those lost lives — I think [of] them every day.” —Joe “Check My Watch” Biden

Lack of Self-Awareness Awards

“We must deny oxygen to [Iran’s] terrorist proxies.” —Joe Biden, who oxygenized the mullahs after Trump’s deterrence

“Let us never forget: Some things are more important than staying in power.” —Joe Biden, whose party ousted him in a coup and nominated a candidate who has never won a single primary vote

Gaslighting

“When you ask the question, ‘Are you better off today than you were four years ago?’ many Americans misremember just how bad the economy was four years ago.” —Senator Chris Coons (D-DE)

Demagogue

“Donald Trump’s abortion bans have created a health care crisis.” —Kamala Harris

“I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom.” —Kamala Harris

Non Sequitur

“I am tired of hearing from people who cannot point out Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala on a map telling us about how to mitigate the millions of people seeking refuge.” —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

Useful Idiot

“The exploding pagers and walkie-talkies targeting members of Hezbollah in Lebanon were certainly an espionage and technological coup. … But the explosions … were also very likely war crimes — terrorist attacks by a state that has consistently condemned terrorist attacks on its own citizens. Yes, the devices most probably were being used by Hezbollah operatives for military purposes. … But the attacks … came when the operatives were not operating.” —author Michael Walzer in The New York Times

For the Record

“I was dumbfounded that the DOJ made public … the contents of the letter that, Ryan Routh, left with an acquaintance prior to the attempted assassination of former President Trump. The letter calls on people to ‘finish the job’ of killing President Trump, attempts to rouse people in incendiary terms to do so, and offers $150,000 to anyone who succeeds. … It was rash to put out this letter in the midst of an election during which two attempts on the life of President Trump had been made. It served no purpose other than to risk inciting further violence.” —former Attorney General William Barr

“President Trump was not a tyrant and isn’t poised to become one if reelected, and slaying him is nothing like justifiable tyrannicide or striking a blow for democracy. If Democrats could bring themselves to say this, they would do wonders for the emotional health of some of their own supporters — and might save lives, including but not only Trump’s.” —Daniel McCarthy

“While people like Harris hide behind their armed security and barbed wire fences and gated government buildings, they are also hiding their true agenda, which is to take away our ability to defend ourselves, our property and our families Because in their version of America, self-defense is a privilege only the elite deserve.” —Ian Haworth

Upright

“Many people are offended by facts, but it’s not actually facts that offend them. What they’re truly offended by is that the facts they’re confronted with mean they now have to find a new lie to believe.” —Darrell B. Harrison

And Last…

“It is purely insane that the White House just flew a foreign leader, Vladimir Zelenskyy, to Pennsylvania to essentially act as a Kamala campaign surrogate. FOREIGN ELECTION INTERFERENCE, ANYONE?” —Ben Shapiro
