Tuesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Jake Tapper, James Carville, Donald Trump, Nina Jankowicz, and more.
Lack of Self-Awareness Award
“I’m not on the Left.” —leftist CNN anchor Jake Tapper
Godwin’s Law
“Do you know … what the country is going to feel toward collaborators with this regime? Maybe you need to go in history and see what happened in August of 1944 after Paris was liberated. They didn’t take very kindly to the collaborators.” —Democrat strategist James Carville
Demagogue
“Job openings are going down. Hiring is slowing. Continuing unemployment claims are the highest they’ve been in nearly 4 years. And the Trump-Musk agenda of chaos and bad economic policy will only mean more turmoil that the American people cannot afford.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has apparently not looked at the March jobs report
The BIG Lie
“Everything looks like a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works. … There was no censorship going on at the Global Engagement Center at the State Department.” —former Disinformation Governance Board director Nina Jankowicz
A Blind Squirrel Finds a Nut
“My suggestion is talk to your fellow citizens. Instead of yelling at Trump voters, engage in a conversation, see what motivates them. See if there are things you have common ground on (like free speech and protecting [Social Security]). A lot of them actually do care about those things.” —"The Young Turks" host Cenk Uygur
Re: The Left
“The most powerful forces on the left are defending the ‘rights’ of illegal aliens while they’re sweeping the deaths of American citizens under the rug. That’s the very definition of an America last policy.” —Gary Bauer
“Traditional gender roles are not a ‘trend.’ They were the norm everywhere on Earth for all of human history until 15 seconds ago. Feminism is the trend. And every trend dies eventually.” —Matt Walsh
“Holding all warriors to identical physical standards is a critical step toward restoring military focus. But it’s not the only step. Valid concerns remain about placing women in direct combat roles.” —Tony Perkins
For the Record
“We have a $53 BILLION annual automotive trade deficit with Japan, $40 BILLION auto deficit with Europe, $50 BILLION auto deficit with S Korea. Cold hard math: our allies have shut their markets to our cars while our market has been flooded with theirs. This was all deliberate.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller
“The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!” —Donald Trump
Belly Laugh of the Day
“We have a couple of senators here. I just don’t particularly like them, so I won’t introduce them.” —Donald Trump
