Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Ilhan Omar, Joe Biden, Sunny Hostin, Katherine Maher, Donald Trump, Allen West, Karoline Leavitt, and more.

Braying Jenny

“This discriminatory policy is beyond shameful. Just like his first Muslim Ban, this latest announcement flies in the face of basic morality and goes directly against our values. This racist policy will not make us safe, it will separate families and endanger lives. We cannot let it stand.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar after Trump reimplemented a travel ban on 12 countries

Dezinformatsiya

“Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false. This is nothing more than a distraction by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans who are working to push disastrous legislation that would cut essential programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families, all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.” —Joe Biden

The BIG Lie

“His cutbacks … for the foreign aid cost 300,000 lives, mostly children. That’s the damage that Elon Musk did.” —"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin

Say That Again … Slowly

“But BBC News didn’t [take Hamas at their word]. It did quote the Hamas-run health ministry with clear attribution. The ministry, which is the part of the Hamas-controlled government, is the main source of official information when it comes to casualties in Gaza.” —BBC News reporter

Race Bait

“To hear the comments about Stacey Abrams — it really got me going. … Someone actually brought up the fact that Stacey has run for governor a couple of times, and it seems like there’s a gubernatorial race that’s coming up in Georgia and nobody knows whether or not Stacey is going to run. So why not muddy the water if we can to hopefully keep a strong black woman down?” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Perception is an issue and we don’t like being perceived as liberal. If you look at our reporting, we are consistently found to be centrist in reporting. … I want to be very clear that we are a nonpartisan news organization and make every effort to ensure that we have representatives of both major political parties on our air as frequently as possible.” —NPR CEO Katherine Maher

Non Compos Mentis

“I have to tell you when I went to Harvard to give this speech … I literally prepared to go to America as if I was going to North Korea.” —PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour, who is British-Iranian

Trouble in Paradise

“Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here… He knew everything about it. He had no problem with it. … He only developed the problem when he found out that we’re going to have to cut the EV mandate.” —Donald Trump

“False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!” —Elon Musk

For the Record

“We have repeatedly heard these insidious outcries of ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.’ In essence, what these mindless lemmings and useful idiots are calling for is exactly what was fought against 81 years ago — the eradication of the Jewish people.” —Allen West

“The three main lessons from ‘Original Sin’ are: 1. Democrats are monumental liars. 2. They’re still lying. 3. The Biden dead-enders, who fought like banshees to keep him as the candidate, would have been Machiavellian geniuses, not con artists — if only the media hadn’t decided to dump the dementia patient.” —Ann Coulter

“In fact, you don’t need a conspiracy to collapse a country. All you need is a large population with a short-term attention span, a class of elites with mind-boggling hubris, and a culture of ‘what’s good for me, right now.’” —Laura Hollis

And Last…

“Unlike some in the media, we don’t take the word of Hamas [as] total truth.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
