Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Deanne Criswell, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Scott Jennings, and more.

Baghdad Bob

“I mean, it’s just categorically false. It is not true.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre regarding FEMA funding for migrants

World’s Smallest Violin

“I need to make sure I can get the resources to where they are needed, and when you have this dangerous rhetoric like you’re hearing, it creates fear in our own employees.” —FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell

For the Record

“If Trump were president, CNN and MSNBC would still be covering North Carolina 24/7 and have a death count in the corner of the screen.” —Tim Young

Tone-Deaf

“The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.” —Kamala Harris

Useful Idiot

“I think … the better question is, ‘Do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people?’ And the answer to that question is ‘Yes.’” —Kamala Harris when asked, “Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister Netanyahu?”

The BIG Lies

“No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None. None. None. And I think Bibi should remember that.” —Joe Biden

“The job numbers are what the job numbers are. They’re real. They’re sincere.” —Joe Biden

“I’m going to make sure that the richest among us who can afford it pay their fair share in taxes. It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations.” —Kamala Harris

“Over the last three and a half years, we have brought manufacturing back to America, creating 730,000 American manufacturing jobs.” —Kamala Harris

“I will never tell you what kind of car you have to drive.” —Kamala Harris

“The vice president has made it clear that she has policies that make a difference. Her border policies are the most strongest, the fairest we’ve seen.” —Tim Walz

Braying Jenny

“I’d like to remind all those Christians and Catholics out there that it is a much bigger conversation than just abortion. And if you are concerned about what this does to a human being in their life, is this the way Jesus wants you to be? Is this the way Jesus wants you to act? Doesn’t Jesus want you to be able to say to somebody, ‘Come over here, I know you must be going through something tough,’ as opposed to what we’re seeing? This is insane.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg

Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud

“We should be, in my view, repealing something called Section 230. … If [social media platforms] don’t moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control.” —Hillary Clinton

Observations

“[Walz] gave the most disastrous response to a question about his own dishonesty about being in Tiananmen Square that I’ve ever heard in a debate. … Effectively what he has said is, ‘Sorry guys, I’m too dumb to tell the truth.’ … This is a guy who holds himself up to be a schoolteacher and a coach. Is that the life lesson he’s giving the kids that are under his care?” —Republican strategist Scott Jennings

“Kamala Harris and the Call Her Daddy chick attempt to come up with any governmental law that controls a man’s body. Both say there isn’t one. Then laugh. The correct answer is, yes, the draft. Which has cost over a million male lives in US history.” —Clay Travis

“Trump was invited onto a sex and relationships show and declined. Kamala accepted. Kamala was invited on Dave Ramsey’s show to talk about the economy. She declined and Trump accepted. That should tell you a lot about their priorities.” —Brett Cooper
