Thursday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Nancy Pelosi, Tim Walz, Karoline Leavitt, Clay Travis, and more.
Fratricidal Infighting
“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing. I think that’s what happened the other day.” —former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer’s budget move
Braying Jenny
“My father, my uncles all fought in World War II so that we would not have a fascist in the White House and this is what we’re getting right now.” —"The View" co-host Joy Behar
Weird Flex
“They spent all their time, these guys on Fox News, [saying] that ‘Walz is gay. He’s not masculine.’ You know, ‘He doesn’t coach football the way he should.’ … There’s misogyny in here that’s happening.” —Tim Walz
Shot/Chasers
“I added Tesla to [the stock app] to give me a little boost during the day — 225 and dropping.” —Tim Walz
“Democrats are now rooting against one of the most successful companies in American history — an electric vehicle company! — because they’re mad [Elon Musk] is cutting waste and fraud. True insanity.” —Clay Travis
“I think Governor Walz unfortunately is living a sad existence after his devastating defeat on November 5th.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
For the Record
“The idea that each one of 700 federal district court judges has the power to order the president to obey their demands on all issues, including the national security of the United States and the movement of planes and ships, is insane!” —Gary Bauer
“There is a real constitutional crisis in the United States that is rooted in judicial political activism.” —Allen West
“It’s incredibly apparent that there is a concerted effort by the far left to judge shop — to pick judges who are clearly acting as partisan activists from the bench in an attempt to derail this president’s agenda.” —Karoline Leavitt
Re: The Left
“In the moral battle between President Donald Trump and the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, the media have chosen a side. The foreign gangsters are less morally questionable than the president.” —Tim Graham
“Today’s left is willing to die on the hill of Venezuelan gangs and radical Islamists terrorizing our university campuses. This is the fundamental division in America today, and it is unresolvable. Either we win or America becomes unrecognizable.” —Gary Bauer
“The president of El Salvador said the U.S. is facing a judicial coup and that got a lot of attention. I think that’s correct.” —Buck Sexton
“The left use the same justifications for property destruction and violence of Tesla that they did during the BLM riots. Remember the ‘they have insurance’ debate.” —David Harsanyi
“The deck is stacked: Israel is always guilty, Hamas is always innocent… The usual chorus of online critics is far too happy to sit back and call for Israel to just wait for the next pogrom.” —Ian Haworth
Political Futures
“The Democrats shouldn’t be shocked that after insisting that Joe Biden was hale and hearty and fit to serve as commander in chief until January 2029, the public has a dim view of their party.” —Rich Lowry
Glory to God
“Well, I can tell you honestly, my feeling on all of this goes back to my faith. It’s bound in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is working out His plan and His purposes for His glory throughout all of humanity … and however that plays out, I am content because I understand that.” —astronaut Butch Wilmore, who returned to Earth on the SpaceX Dragon capsule, regarding the impact of being stranded on the ISS for 278 days
