Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Mark Cuban, Hunter Biden, Karine Jean-Pierre, Gary Bauer, and more.

Village Idiots

“Donald Trump — you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple.” —billionaire leftist Mark Cuban

“These are deplorable people. And anyone in 2024 that is willing to vote for Donald Trump is deplorable and it’s a morally indefensible position.” —pundit Marc Lamont Hill

Et tu, Brute?

“The joyful warrior that America has gotten to know in these past few months is the same Kamala Harris that has been an invaluable partner to the president these past four years.” —Hunter Biden, hanging the weight of his father around Harris’s neck just after the “garbage” kerfuffle

Baghdad Bob

“[Biden] was not calling Trump supporters garbage.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“The president wanted to clarify because … he understood that what he was saying was being taken out of context.” —Karine Jean-Pierre

Circling the Wagons

“No. He clarified what he was saying. He was very clear about that.” —Tim Walz when asked, “Did the president’s ‘garbage’ comments … damage this campaign?”

“I think that the president has explained what he meant.” —Kamala Harris

Upright

“My response to Joe and Kamala is very simple: You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans.” —Donald Trump

“Kamala and Joe call all of us … garbage. I call you the heart and soul of America. … You built our country. You built it. Far more than they built it.” —Donald Trump

Lack of Self-Awareness Award

“I really want to bring our country together.” —Kamala “Trump Is a Fascist” Harris

Dumb & Dumber

“Losing our democracy to a fascist minority.” —Hunter Biden when asked about his greatest fear

“[Trump] does not respect you. He does not see you. He does not think you are equal to him.” —Barack Obama

For the Record

“Barack Obama called us ‘bitter Bible clingers.’ Hillary called us ‘deplorables.’ Now, Joe Biden said we are ‘garbage.’ At least with ‘bitter’ and ‘deplorable’ you’re still human. And Hillary was only referring to ‘half of Trump’s supporters’ in her ‘basket of deplorables.’ But ‘garbage’ is less than human. What do you do with garbage? You dispose of it. You put it in the garbage disposal or the trash can.” —Gary Bauer

“Harris is accusing Trump of being a dictator, and Joe Biden is calling Middle Americans ‘garbage,’ and both claim to want unity. But the really ‘important news’ that we all need to know about is a joke by a relatively unknown comedian during an hours-long event.” —Gary Bauer

“Americans are now asked to place Harris into what is (in theory) the most powerful political position in the world, even though she cannot cogently articulate a single policy statement besides unlimited abortion.” —Laura Hollis

“You can argue against Trump; you can argue for him. But nobody can credibly argue in favor of Kamala Harris. Not even Kamala Harris. That’s been the story of her campaign: what she's not.” —Ben Shapiro
