Notable quotables from USA Today, Becca Balint, Mark Hamill, Rosie O’Donnell, Michael Moore, Gary Bauer, Ian Haworth, and more.
Yellow Journalism
“Boulder suspect’s daughter dreamed of studying medicine. Now she faces deportation.” —USA Today headline
Non Compos Mentis
“We’re not gonna have anybody around to wipe our a**es because we don’t have enough people.” —Rep. Becca Balint advocating for more immigrants
Crockett’s Believe It or NOT
“I’ve had Republicans walk up to me and tell me how much they like me.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett
Shot/Chaser
“Mark Hamill starred in the ultimate battle of good and evil. Now he just wants to make America normal again.” —Los Angeles Times headline
“We have now arrived at the ‘arresting judges’ level of fascism.” —actor Mark Hamill reacting to the arrest of rogue Judge Hannah Dugan in April
Village Idiots
“I believe Elon Musk did something. I believe the down-ballot proof. I believe that he did not win this election because I am looking at how many people Kamala Harris had, and I just don’t believe it.” —actress Rosie O'Donnell
“What if we all took a new pledge? … I’ve taken the liberty of writing one for us on this day: ‘I pledge allegiance to the people of the United States of America. And to the democracy for which we all stand: One person, one vote, one nation, part of one world, everyone! A seat at the table! Everyone! A slice of the pie! With liberty and justice, equality and kindness, and the pursuit of happiness for all.’” —filmmaker Michael Moore
Memo to Moore: We love our constitutional Republic’s freedom. Get your hat today!
Re: The Left
“Democrat politicians are attacking the brave men and women who enforce our immigration laws. … Meanwhile, not one elected Democrat that I am aware of has condemned Antifa, Transtifa, or other leftist antisemitic demonstrators who routinely show up with their faces masked as they engage in acts of violence.” —Gary Bauer
Yeah, Probably…
“The Feds are about to deport the Boulder Terrorist’s family which means somewhere a Democrat is getting ready to go have margaritas with them.” —Jimmy Failla
Inquiring Minds Want to Know
“Why can we not condemn antisemitism while also condemning so-called Islamophobia (real or imaginary), particularly when many antisemitic attacks are carried out by Muslims?” —Ian Haworth
Upright
“It helps when you know that borders are not racist. Speech is not violence. America is good. Terrorists are bad. Men can never become women. Police are not criminals, and criminals are not victims.” —Donald Trump
Changing the Game
“A badly outmanned and outgunned country just reached far inside its adversary’s territory to destroy or damage hugely expensive, nuclear-capable strategic aircraft with low-cost drones basically indistinguishable from ones available on Amazon.” —Rich Lowry
Setting the Record Straight
“Harvey Milk was an unrepentant pederast and all-around reprobate. It was wrong to name the ship after him, and, at a purely practical level, it was not helping the Navy beat the accusations!” —Michael Knowles on the renaming of the USNS Harvey Milk
