Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Hillary Clinton, Ilhan Omar, Nancy Mace, Konstantin Kisin, and more.

Demagogue

“Autocracy is on the March, and we now have a government in the United States that has thrown in its lot with the autocrats.” —Hillary Clinton trashing the United States at the World Forum in Germany

Lack of Self-Awareness Award

“The fight for our democracy is not coming. It is here. When I say that we have months, not a year, to save democracy, I’m talking about this coordinated, relentless legal assault on political dissent.” —Senator Chris Murphy, who is somehow not talking about the confirmed suppression of conservative media under Joe Biden

The BIG Lie

“Netanyahu has shattered the ceasefire agreement, indiscriminately killing hundreds of people in Gaza and putting the lives of the remaining hostages at risk. This is after not allowing any food, water, aid, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Arms embargo NOW.” —Congresswoman Ilhan Omar

Re: The Left

“If John Roberts allows rogue district court judges to turn the Trump administration into a failure by stopping him from doing what the American people voted for, he will ensure that the neo-Marxist forces who want Justice Roberts’ head on a pike will regain power. And once they have power, they will not hesitate to forever ‘fundamentally transform’ his precious Supreme Court.” —Gary Bauer

“The loon wing of the Democratic Party is firmly in control. … Our Republican secret plan for dealing with the Democrats is called Operation: Let Them Speak.” —Senator John Kennedy

“When we disagreed with Target, we just stopped shopping there. When Democrats disagree with Elon, they burn down Tesla dealerships and vandalize cybertrucks.” —Chaya Raichik

“The same people who claim to fight for empathy and justice believe that terror tactics are an appropriate way to achieve wins for their side.” —Samantha Koch

“If only more Germans had set fire to some Volkswagens in the 1930s, WW2 would never have happened!” —Konstantin Kisin

Observations

“Why are so many Americans convinced, despite all available evidence, that others were involved in the JFK assassination? Much of it has to do with the rapidly declining levels of trust in the American government since the 1960s. … Since the 1960s, American distrust of government has been matched by a massive expansion of governmental intrusion.” —Ben Shapiro

Make America Healthy Again

“We have 10,000 ingredients in our food in this country. In Europe, they only have 400. And we have the worst chronic disease burden of any country in the world.” —HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“In this country, food ingredients are innocent until proven guilty. In Europe and other countries, they have to prove themselves safe before you add them. And we ought to have that kind of protection for American citizens.” —RFK
