Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Hakeem Jeffries, Wolf Blitzer, Jessica Tarlov, Karen Bass, Darrell Issa, Ian Haworth, Nick Freitas, Josh Hawley, Megyn Kelly, and more.

Intraparty Squabbles

“I have no idea what these people are talking about.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries when told by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, “Some progressives who empowered [Zohran] Mamdani to victory now want to primary you and other Democrats in New York City.”

Clueless

“What ICE is doing now … is not commensurate with what the American public wants. They didn’t vote for people to show up at Home Depots. They didn’t vote for people to show up at immigration courts.” —"The Five" co-host Jessica Tarlov

Spin Doctor

“My job is to make sure that this city is safe for all Angelinos, regardless of when you came here, what country you came from, or why.” —Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ignoring the fact that deporting criminal illegals makes the city safer

Reality Check

“Any time you diminish the importance and legitimacy of people who go in harm’s way, you increase the chances of their harm. … For Karen Bass to get in the way of totally lawful and core duties of ICE officers, and then to disparage them as that other deputy mayor did, truly puts them even more at risk.” —Rep. Darrell Issa

Re: The Left

“The assumption is always that voters have been tricked, and if they can only be helped to discover the truth, they will immediately vote for the ‘right’ candidate. But what if they haven’t been fooled at all? What if they see Mamdani’s antisemitic, anti-American, pro-jihadist views not as a disqualifier, but as a selling point?” —Ian Haworth

“How would you describe what’s going on in Europe right now? ‘Socialism…with Islamist characteristics.’” —Nick Freitas

Find Out Who Your Friends Are

“If it’s still not clear, Big Tech’s biggest sellout is the American worker.” —Sen. Josh Hawley responding to news that Microsoft planned to hire foreign workers before initiating mass layoffs of Americans

Lipstick on a Pig

“Biden’s doctor TAKES THE 5th to avoid testifying about his time as Biden’s physician.” —Megyn Kelly

And Last…

“The choice before our citizens and voters is increasingly stark: burying ourselves deeper in debt and dependence or recapturing freedom and personal responsibility.” —Star Parker
