Friday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Bernie Sanders, Gavin Newsom, Tim Walz, Bennie Thompson, Mandy Vannoy, JD Vance, Karoline Leavitt, and more.
Touché
“Trump lies all of the time … but to talk about how prices are going down when your healthcare costs are soaring and when you can’t afford groceries … people say this guy is either lying or he’s way out of touch with reality.” —Bernie Sanders
Straight From the Horse’s Mouth
“I want to see trans kids. … There’s no governor that’s signed more pro trans legislation than I have.” —Governor Gavin Newsom
Lack of Self-Awareness
“We’ve seen what happens when we elect a con man to the highest office in America. We can’t let it happen here in Minnesota.” —Tim Walz, governor of the state with the largest fraud scheme in American history, on Mike Lindell announcing his run for the governorship
D'oh
“Madam Secretary, you … reference the unfortunate accident that occurred with the National Guardsmen.” —Democrat Representative Bennie Thompson, referring to the Islamic terror attack where two Guardsmen were shot, one killed
It’s the Economy, Stupid
“Joe Biden’s insane policies left American families unable to afford a decent living in their own country. Through tax cuts, better-paying jobs, and investment in American industry, President Trump is making America affordable again for working families one step at a time.” —JD Vance
Re: Karine Jean Pierre
“My predecessor stood up at this podium, and she said inflation doesn’t exist. She said the border was secure. And people like you just took her at her word, and those were two utter lies.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
Message to Illegals
“We have said, ‘Listen, if you leave on your own, we will pay for it. And we’ll give you cash in your pocket to take with you, and your status will remain legal with us so that you can then apply to come back legally.’ What the hell more do you want? So, given all of that, if you’re still here illegally and you get caught up in a raid … sorry, not sorry.” —Townhall’s Larry O'Connor
Q&A
“The podcaster Candace Owens, at one time a friend of Charlie’s, at one time an employee of Turning Point. She has been one of the main peddlers of these conspiracies, and she is making a huge amount of money on it. … What do you want to say to her and the other people who are putting these lies out into the world right now?” —Bari Weiss
“Stop. That’s it. That’s all I have to say. Stop.” —Erika Kirk
Upright
“In a world full of Candace Owens, be an Erika Kirk.” —Mandy Vannoy
Re: The Left
“Why do leftists want to be in political office in a country that they despise so very much? Who will vote for people who wish death and destruction upon the American people? Leftists are telling us exactly who they are and what they desire for us all, our demise.” —Allen West
