Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Jasmine Crockett, Joy Reid, Donald Tusk, Nate Jackson, and more.

The BIG Lie

“Trump is pillaging your wallets and wrecking your 401k with his misguided tariffs to give tax cuts to his billionaires’ club.” —Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer

Election Denial

“We have someone that is occupying the White House and as far as I’m concerned, he is an enemy to the United States.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett

Braying Jennies

“My question to Elon Musk … what the hell are you doing here in America? Go back to South Africa.” —Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez attacking immigrants

“Linda McMahon is a former WWE executive who ‘wholeheartedly’ agrees with Trump that we should abolish the Department of Education. I’m fighting to defend our students and teachers.” —Senator Elizabeth Warren somehow thinking she is the winner of that comparison

Face-Palm

“We will never be a monarchy. Know that. To quote the LOTR trilogy: ‘Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king.’” —Joy Reid (Who wants to tell her how that story ends?)

Now They Tell Us

“You know, Joe Biden never should have been there in the first place, right? Number one, he shouldn’t have run for president [in 2020]. … What he really was was a craven political animal that was desperate, that considered a run for president every four years that he was eligible.” —former NBC anchor Chuck Todd

For the Record

“European elites up to now have not only been cheapskates when it comes to military spending, they found the very existence of their countries’ armed forces distasteful.” —Daniel McCarthy

“[Volodymyr] Zelensky has not only failed in foreign policy — he has driven the country into a state where anyone who disagrees with his course faces repression.” —Ukrainian parliamentarian Alexander Dubinsky calling for impeachment of Zelensky

“To those arguing that Trump’s push for peace is bad, I would ask, ‘What is your alternative? Endless war until what? Until Ukraine defeats Russia?’ If Ukraine is going to defeat Russia, then Russia is not the threat we’re constantly being told it is.” —Gary Bauer

Upright

“500 million Europeans begging 300 million Americans to defend them from 140 million Russians. If you can count, count on yourself.” —Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk

Reality Check

“We’re either going to pay the price of fentanyl or endure the burden of tariffs as a negotiating move. There’s no cost-free option here, and Trump knows that all too well.” —Nate Jackson

The Bottom Line

“Pornography and prostitution aren’t things to celebrate — they are social cancers that need to end, not be honored at the Oscars.” —Lila Rose

And Last

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested.” —Donald Trump
