Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Harsimrat Kaur Badal, Abby Phillip, Hakeem Jeffries, Barbara Lee, JD Vance, Rich Lowry, Erick Erickson, and Clay Travis.

Non Compos Mentis

Harjinder [Singh] committed a grave mistake which led to a fatal crash but he is not a murderer & should not be treated as such.” —Indian member of Parliament Harsimrat Kaur Badal defending her countryman

The BIG Lie

“There is no evidence that there was some top-down order of political retribution in either the Obama or the Biden administrations.” —CNN’s Abby Phillip

Race Bait

“Donald Trump is once again behaving like a racial arsonist.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries

Siding With Criminals

“Our police do not cooperate with ICE. We don’t.” —Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee

The Long and Short of It

“All we’re doing, frankly, is trying to make the situation a little bit more fair on a national scale. The Democrats have gerrymandered their states really aggressively. We think there are opportunities to push back against that, and that’s really all we’re doing.” —JD Vance

Law and Order

“In two short weeks, the president and the team have saved six or seven lives. People who would’ve been killed on the streets of DC who are now living, breathing, spending time with their families because the president had the willpower to say, ‘No more. We’re not going to give the streets of DC over to vagrants and robbers and murderers.’” —JD Vance

Re: the Left

“There’s already a cottage industry in anti-Trump opinion pieces raising the alarm about the president’s alleged decline, and Democrats made a serious, if abortive, attempt to make Trump’s age an issue in the 2024 campaign.” —Rich Lowry

First Amendment Rights

“We are about to see a wave of flag burnings and not one of those burning flags will be found guilty of breaking the law.” —Erick Erickson on Trump’s EO banning flag burning

And Last…

“Young men see ‘Democrat’ as an insult.” —Clay Travis
