Tuesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Ilhan Omar, Natasha Lyonne, Jimmy Failla, Clay Travis, and more.
Lack of Self-Awareness Award
“These people are just idiots. … I’m at the point where it’s become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day is frankly embarrassing — not just in Congress, but as Americans.” —Congresswoman Ilhan Omar
The BIG Lie
“Now let’s talk about waste. We’re still waiting for Elon’s group [DOGE] … to identify real government waste.” —"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin
Race Bait
“Both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows. As is Katie Phang on the weekend. And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them. That feels indefensible. And I do not defend it.” —MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow taking it to a weird racial place in honor of Joy Reid
Touché
“NOTHING could be funnier than a watching a woman spend her whole career shamelessly race baiting the country only to get fired during Black History month. Congratulations to MSNBC on finally bringing viewers some actual Joy.” —Jimmy Failla
Village Idiots
“Woke just means you give a damn about other people.” —actress Jane Fonda (“No, it means you want to be seen that way to gratify your ego.” —Jim Treacher)
“The 12-year-old girl that can’t get an abortion … that’s what really, like, rips me apart.” —actress Natasha Lyonne
Upright
“Prominent figures are championing people having more babies, but we don’t just need more babies — we need more babies to be raised in stable, loving households by parents committed to each other in marriage.” —Lila Rose
For the Record
“When the history of this era is written, the Bud Light boycott in 2023 is when the woke business angle truly collapsed. There were warning signs everywhere, but Bud Light essentially having its business destroyed over woke nonsense changed everything.” —Clay Travis
“The only thing both sides agree on is that this is an existential fight. For those in the free speech community, it will determine the future of what Justice Louis Brandeis called ‘the indispensable right.’ For the other side, it is the future of a European model of free speech, limiting the right to deter those with extreme or inciteful views.” —constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley
And Last…
“Think of it as a PSA for what happens if you fire thousands of rockets at innocent Israeli civilians for months.” —Senator John Fetterman on Israel’s release of the video of Hassan Nasrallah’s death on the day of his funeral
