Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Zohran Mamdani, Nancy Pelosi, Spencer Klavan, Tommy Robinson, Sean Davis, James Freeman, Donald Trump, Byron York, John Kennedy, and more.

Blaming the Victim

“In the aftermath of [October 7, 2023], Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war. … Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end.” —Democrat NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani

Pot Calling the Kettle Black

“Be presidential, Mr. President. Honor the office you serve in. Don’t be so deranged and political as to how you make decisions.” —Rep. Nancy Pelosi

Circling the Wagons

“They say that, on balance, he’s a better person to be attorney general.” —Rep. Nancy Pelosi regarding Jay Jones and whether he should bow out

Under the Mask

“The Jay Jones texts are so wild because he gets like five desperate pleas to walk it back and each time he’s just like no, this is what I believe, I want people who disagree with me to die and also their children.” —Spencer Klavan

For the Record

“[George Soros] and his ideas and his foundations are responsible for the destruction of the West. … And he has to pay for it.” —Tommy Robinson

“It begins with censorship. It moves to the destruction of statues and monuments. And it ends with the murder of people. The drive to silence speech doesn’t end at a podium’s edge or at the four corners of a page. It always advances toward the violent elimination of speakers. That is because the authoritarian impulse to silence speech is driven by a totalitarian desire to seize total power by any means necessary, up to and including the murder of one’s political opponents.” —Sean Davis, CEO of The Federalist, testifying before the Senate about the Biden administration’s censorship

“While numerous conductors of public opinion surveys have been asking Americans whom they blame for the shutdown, relatively few pollsters have been asking Americans if they have suffered any harm or even noticed the absence of much of the federal government. Perhaps some pollsters don’t want to know the answers.” —James Freeman

If the Shoe Fits

“I’m getting calls from Democrats wanting to meet. I never even heard their names before, and they’re claiming to be leaders. The Democrats have no leader. They remind me of Somalia.” —Donald Trump

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“Why do these Democratic-controlled cities invest such energy and passion in defending illegal immigration?” —Byron York

“Can CBS actually move to the center? And will that expose how tilted the other networks are every day? It must be a terrifying prospect for the badly named ‘mainstream media.’” —Tim Graham

Belly Laugh of the Day

“They can be impertinent little buttheads.” —Sen. John Kennedy on media reporters

And Last…

“I liked NYC better before we gave green cards to the intifada.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller
