Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Jena Griswold, Andrew Yang, Ed Markey, Suhas Subramanyam, the Anti-Defamation League, NPR, Gavin Newsom, Ron DeSantis, and more.

The BIG Lie

“Mail ballots are secure. They cannot be hacked because they are a piece of paper. … [Trump] is obviously taking cues about democracy from a dictator, Putin.” —Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

“We should be making it easier to vote — like voting on your phone — not harder.” —Forward Party founder Andrew Yang

Leftist Hysteria

“Trump wants the city of Boston, Mayor Wu, to bow to his dream of absolute power. But today, we are here to say, ‘Boston will not bow down!’” —Sen. Ed Markey

Stranger Than Fiction

“The [illegal aliens] that are being approached did not commit any crimes.” —Rep. Suhas Subramanyam

Non Compos Mentis

“‘America first’ is a term that references the World War Two-era ‘America First Committee,’ and is used by extremists in antisemitic, racist and xenophobic ways. America First, in conservative circles, often refers to an ideology that was promoted by Donald Trump when he ran for office and served in office, which emphasizes American nationalism, nonintervention and anti-immigrant and anti-globalism beliefs.” —Anti-Defamation League

Yellow Journalism

“Gun violence hits Black communities hardest. Trump is rolling back prevention efforts.” —NPR headline

Fact-Check: Missing Context

“Eight of the top 10 murder states in this country are red states.” —California Gov. Gavin Newsom

Troll Master

“As governor of Florida, I get this great cheat code. All I’ve gotta do is look to New York, Illinois, California and then do the opposite.” —Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

For the Record

“Under Newsom, California is hemorrhaging population and is on track to lose 3-5 congressional seats. … In the long run, Democratic gerrymandering can’t make up for the demographic consequences of Democratic governments.” —Daniel McCarthy

Caveat Emptor

“Putin is about as unreliable a partner as some celebrity marriages. Anyone who believes he will honor any agreement he might sign to pause or stop the war he started hasn’t been paying attention.” —Cal Thomas

And Last…

“If we wanted to commit genocide we would have done it in one afternoon.” —Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
