Thursday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Tim Walz, Mark Alexander, Jacob Frey, Ana Navarro, Rick Wilson, Tiffany Cross, Steve Kerr, Jimmy Failla, and more.
Theater of the Absurd
“I would beat the s**t out of him now if I could.” —Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Vice President JD Vance (“I’ll buy a front-row seat!” —Mark Alexander)
Can’t Fix Stupid
“Minneapolis does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws.” —Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey
Delusions of Grandeur
“This is like the perfect guy. Alex Pretti’s the guy you would want to date your daughter, the guy you’d want your son to grow up to be. … There is nothing that has been said about that man that isn’t wonderful. And so, they can’t malign him … because we have the videos.” —CNN senior political commentator Ana Navarro
Dumb & Dumber
“I want to bring back a tweet from Charlie Kirk in 2018. He says this: ‘The 2nd Amendment is not for hunting, it is not for self protection. It is there to ensure that free people can defend themselves if god forbid government became tyrannical and turned against its citizens.’ And I think a lot of people are pointing to this because, I mean, what we saw in the [Minneapolis] streets.” —CNN host Kasie Hunt
“The birth of the Second Amendment was about the people being able to protect themselves in case the government was to turn on them. … Exactly what’s happening right now.” —"The View" co-host Sara Haines
Non Compos Mentis
“I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump. I mean I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment.” —Ohio Democrat Attorney General candidate Elliot Forhan
“I want Stephen Miller to be the number one in the Nuremberg Trials when this is done … the first one who is tried and convicted and f***ing dangles.” —Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson
“There’s a reason why we have not seen a resurgence of the Proud Boys. And that is because I believe a lot of them are likely made ICE officers.” —former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross
Lack of Self-Awareness Award
“We’re being divided by media for-profit, by misinformation.” —NBA coach Steve Kerr
“It’s not like they’re rooting out violent criminals. They’re taking five-year old kindergartners.” —Steve Kerr regarding ICE
Leftmedia Lies
“CNN is blaming ‘MAGA vitriol’ for the attack on Ilhan Omar, yet they CONTINUE to call Trump ‘HITLER’ a full year after he was SHOT. This is how you get a once respected News Network to rate behind the YULE LOG.” —Jimmy Failla
For the Record
“I don’t think about [Ilhan Omar]. I think she’s a fraud, She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.” —President Donald Trump
Observations
“Modern American governance increasingly pretends that obligations are optional while benefits are universal. We have built a system in which membership rights are extended without the responsibilities of membership, and then we act surprised when social cohesion frays and public trust collapses.” —Michael Smith
“Keep in mind the activists’ goal: They don’t want ICE to deport illegal immigrants in a safe, smooth, and efficient way. They want to stop the deportations.” —Byron York
