Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Joy Reid, Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, Brian Mark Weber, David Harsanyi, and more.

Truth Bomb

“I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t, and that was wrong. And I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me.” —Crystal Mangum, the non-victim in the Duke lacrosse scandal

Non Compos Mentis

“For better or for worse, it’s not much of a ringing endorsement — and we all know which one Trump falls under. And let’s remember who else has been given this title in the past in the same category: Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Ayatollah Khomeini, and Vladimir Putin.” —"The View" co-host Joy Reid on Trump being named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year

Demagogue

“I pray to God the president-elect throws away Project 2025.” —Joe Biden

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. That’s the FBI’s motto and it perfectly describes Director Wray. He’s served America faithfully, and I’m thankful for his leadership.” —Senator Amy Klobuchar

Political Futures

“Historically, presidential pardons were utilized by presidents to unify the nation, not to protect the president’s own from criminal activities. Unfortunately, Biden’s pardoning of his son Hunter has opened the floodgates for abuse by future presidents.” —Brian Mark Weber

“[Biden] will go down as the worst, most despicable president in the history of this country because no one has done more to damage this country and hurt American citizens.” —Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick

“Why do you think Elon Musk has become an icon to millions of people around the world? It’s not his inspiring speeches and good looks! He builds big things and in doing so reminds us who we are supposed to be: we are meant to reach for the stars, not into our neighbours’ pockets.” —Konstantin Kisin

“Millei won in Argentina because he promised to cut red tape, taxes, and bureaucrats with his chainsaw of freedom. Trump won in America because he promised to cut regulation, taxes, and waste. The British people, on the other hand, are very clear: they want higher taxes and more government spending.” —Konstantin Kisin

Re: The Left

“From the rise of antisemitism to, now, the murder of an insurance CEO, few Democrats seem capable of condemning violence without adding a ‘but.’ … We cannot give ourselves the permission structure or power to make exceptions to the very basic rule that killing another human is wrong.” —Erick Erickson

“There’s a clear ideological continuum between those who rationalize the shooting of a CEO and rationalize the murder and rape of Jews by Palestinian terrorists and rationalize the burning down of cities for ‘social justice.’” —David Harsanyi

“The First Amendment doesn’t automatically grant sainthood to the press. You’re allowed to think the press has performed terribly without ending the First Amendment. That’s freedom of speech.” —Tim Graham

And Last…

“We don’t need more abortion. We need more adults who take responsibility for their choices.” —Abby Johnson
