Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Joy Reid, Tim Kaine, Mark Warner, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Bernie Sanders, Allen West, Samantha Koch, and more.

Braying Jenny

“He’s got these magical doctors who claimed that he was shot in the ear, but his ear, I guess, grew back?” —Joy Reid pushing a conspiracy theory that Donald Trump wasn’t shot at all

Stranger Than Fiction

“The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes. … The statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.” —Sen. Tim Kaine

Shot/Chaser I

“You’re saying the Biden administration politicized all the data!” —Sen. Mark Warner

“They fired all the people who questioned the orthodoxy!” —Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Shot/Chaser II

“So you’re telling me, you’re telling the American people that the American Medical Association, representing hundreds of thousands of people, have been co-opted and that they should not trust their doctors?” —Sen. Bernie Sanders, 2025

“Gender-affirming care is medically-necessary, evidence-based care that improves the physical and mental health of transgender and gender-diverse people.” —American Medical Association, 2021

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“Why do we have so many judges in America who favor criminals over the rule of law?” —Allen West

Re: The Gender Cult

“We’re not playing semantics with words like dysphoria. We’re talking about trannies, and we don’t think they should have guns.” —Daily Wire reporter Mary Margaret Olohan quoting a senior DOJ official

For the Record

“Ultimately, the success in Washington, DC, proves a powerful point: crime is not inevitable. Enforce the law and support law enforcement, and criminals retreat. For residents who have known nothing but violence, this taste of safety will be hard to forget.” —Samantha Koch

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Democrats hate Trump for sending troops into Chicago because it exposes the fact that the ONLY TIME they’ve ever addressed black on black crime was when Will Smith smacked Chris Rock at the Oscars.” —Jimmy Failla
