Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Seth Moulton, Raphael Warnock, Anthony Albanese, Jeremy Corbyn, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, JD Vance, and more.

Lack of Self-Awareness Award

“That’s the way a lot of Americans feel about our party, that we’re just out of touch and can’t be trusted.” —Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) (“I remain committed to protecting the rights and dignity of transgender Americans.” —Seth Moulton earlier this fall)

Projection

“On January 1st, millions of Americans will be locked in to higher premiums or priced out of health care all together. The damage has been done and Americans will know that it’s all thanks to Republicans.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)

The BIG Lie

“[Republicans] voted to double your [healthcare] premiums 13 times.” —Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA)

Dumb & Dumber

“We expect hundreds of thousands of firearms will be collected and destroyed through this scheme.” —Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese outlining a gun buyback plan in response to the Islamic terror attack at Bondi Beach

“While gun-control measures remain a bitter partisan political issue in the United States, they are a common response to mass killings in many countries.” —The Washington Post

Clown World

“History will show that it was the decent, ordinary people of this country who stood up for Palestine.” —British MP Jeremy Corbyn

Braying Jenny

“I talked to somebody yesterday who said they saw [Amy Coney Barrett] with Brett Kavanaugh at a tailgate last weekend. I was like, ‘I would not be able to control myself.’ [T]here would be beers thrown in people’s faces.” —Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow (D-MI)

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Let the record show: I would stomp [JD Vance].” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

Drinking the Kool-Aid

“Tax the Rich, Like Me.” —title of an op-ed in The New York Times by former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney

For the Record

“Fifty-nine percent of illegal alien families use one or more welfare program[s] in our country, costing about $42 billion a year.” —HUD Secretary Scott Turner

Sad, but True

“Amazing how numb we became to language like this.” —Vice President JD Vance reacting to a quote from Zohran Mamdani’s former top advisor, Catherine Almonte Da Costa: “It’s important that white people feel defeated.”

Upright

“In the United States of America, you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore. … The only thing that we demand is that you be a great American Patriot.” —JD Vance

Political Futures

“We are going to get my husband’s friend JD Vance elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible.” —TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk

And Last…

“When Candace Owens says, ‘I don’t know know, but I know,’ that is retarded, and we are all more retarded for having heard it.” —political pundit Ben Shapiro
