Tuesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Marjorie Taylor Greene, Elissa Slotkin, James Carville, Tim Walz, Graham Platner, Stephen Crowder, Matt Walsh, and more.
For the Record
“I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for.” —Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)
Shot/Chaser
Q: “Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?” —ABC News’s Martha Raddatz
A: “To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal.” —Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI)
“If the president hasn’t issued illegal orders, then members of Congress telling the military to defy the president is by definition illegal.” —JD Vance
Demagogue
“It is time for Democrats to embrace a sweeping, aggressive, unvarnished, unapologetic, and altogether unmistakable platform of pure economic rage. This is our only way out of the abyss.” —Democrat strategist James Carville
Leftist Lunacy
“Minnesota is a better place because Somalians chose to live here. We are stronger because of it.” —Gov. Tim Walz (D)
Pearl-Clutching
“I want to drag every single ICE agent that’s been wearing a mask in front of a Senate subcommittee, make them take their mask off, and explain to the American people what the hell they’ve been up to. … Organizations that are used to kidnap Americans are not organizations that should exist in the future.” —Senate candidate Graham Platner (D-ME)
Fact-Check: True
“If an entire job site disappears in Charlotte the second ICE shows up, it’s because the companies chose illegal, cheap labor over hiring Americans, and now they’re finally paying for it. Hire actual Americans, and the projects won’t be collapsing.” —Stephen Crowder
And Last…
“If you aren’t from this country: We don’t care what you think about American politics. We don’t care what you think about American culture. We don’t care what you think about American elections. Your grift is over. Focus on your own problems.” —Matt Walsh commenting on the exposure of grifters now that X identifies a user’s country of origin
