Tuesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Joe Biden, Jake Sullivan, Justin Trudeau, Whoopi Goldberg, and more.
The BIG Lies
“Let’s get something in mind about the border. When I became president, the numbers came way down.” —Joe Biden
“The strategic call President Biden made, looking back three years, history has judged well and will continue to judge well.” —National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan regarding Biden’s surrender and retreat from Afghanistan
Lipstick on a Pig
“The Palestinian people deserve peace and the right to determine their own futures.” —Joe Biden
Delusions of Grandeur
“When I started to suggest, ‘Well, maybe there could be a trade for Vermont or California’ … [Trump] immediately decided that it was not that funny anymore.” —Canadian “Governor” Justin Trudeau
Gaslighting
“I take great offense at pointing fingers. … It’s too soon to be saying it’s Gavin’s fault. It’s nobody’s fault.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg regarding the California wildfires
Political Futures
“When a politician says ‘don’t politicize’ a significant event like the fires that have swept Los Angeles County, it’s a good bet they are attempting to divert attention and shield themselves from the consequences of their inaction.” —Cal Thomas
“When Donald Trump is sworn in next week, America will have a president for the first time in four years. The Biden era hasn’t been a presidency but an interregnum, with seemingly no one in charge in Washington.” —Daniel McCarthy
“In the middle of a presidential contest, [Juan Merchan] forced Trump to sit in a courtroom day after day after day. Joe Biden publicly joked about the fact that his opponent was tied up somewhere else and not on the campaign trail.” —Gary Bauer
“The difference between [Javier] Milei and many other nationalists on the world stage is that he’s not using his position to transfer state power from left to right. Rather, he’s diminishing the power of the state and cutting off the source of its control over citizens.” —David Harsanyi
Upright
“I think it doesn’t make sense to punish a person or company for finally coming around. We may choke on the words, but praising somebody for seeing the light is a lot more effective than attacking them for being too late.” —David Strom
And Last
“Remember this essential truth: When particular branding doesn’t lead to a public embrace of left-wing policies, leftists change the branding, not the policies.” —Nate Jackson
