Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Hillary Clinton, Hakeem Jeffries, Jasmine Crockett, Matt Walsh, Rich Lowry, and more.

The BIG Lie

“All you need to know about the Republican tax plan: The wealthiest 5% would get tax breaks. Everyone else would see crucial health care and nutrition assistance programs slashed.” —Hillary Clinton

Chicken Little

“[Republicans] are trying to enact one of the largest healthcare cuts in American history, if not the largest. At this point, it looks like $715 billion in cuts to Medicaid that will devastate children and families and seniors and everyday Americans with disabilities. Hospitals could close. Nursing homes could shut down. And the reality is, because of this House Republican bill, if it were to pass and become law, people will die.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries

Leftist Babble

“Anybody that did their research voted the right way. … These are facts: The more educated voters and the voters that went to the legacy media, frankly, they voted the right way.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Re: The Left

“There has been a giant psy op conducted for years to convince white people that they aren’t native to their own homeland. White South Africans have been there for 15 generations and yet somehow they still don’t count as native. White people have been in the Americas for 500 years and yet somehow we aren’t allowed to call this our native land. It doesn’t matter if your great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather built a cabin on this land with his own hands, it still isn’t your land.” —Matt Walsh

“Rejecting institutions like marriage and motherhood has left millions of women depressed, lonely and unhealthy. And it has made things worse for whatever children they do end up having.” —Victor Joecks

Make Terrorists Afraid Again

“Our task is to unify against the few agents of chaos and terror that are left… The biggest and most destructive of these forces is the regime in Iran.” —Donald Trump

You Can Say That Again!

“It is so nice to have a president who can walk down the stairs without us having to hold our breath, who projects strength, who you know the world sees and understands is not some weak infirm pushover.” —Megyn Kelly

Behind the Curtain

“The Trump grand vision is to create a level taxation playing field by imposing higher tax rates on products made in places like Beijing and then lower taxes on things made in Baltimore.” —Stephen Moore

Baffling

“About 20 House Republicans are threatening to torpedo the entire [reconciliation] bill unless Planned Parenthood — the nation’s largest abortion business — continues to receive roughly $700 million a year in fresh taxpayer funding.” —Tony Perkins

For the Record

“The ‘most favored nation’ coming out of the administration [and] all these other things are shortsighted, unsustainable measures that are not going to produce the result I do believe all of us on this committee want to achieve.” —Sen. Thom Tillis commenting on Trump’s EO to reduce drug prices

And Last…

“The way to get people out without due process is the same way they come in without due process — of their own volition.” —Rich Lowry
