Monday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Kathy Hochul, Jamie Raskin, Zohran Mamdani, Gary Bauer, Victor Davis Hanson, David Harsanyi, and more.
Phew, Glad That’s Cleared Up!
“You will no longer sell handguns that can be converted into semiautomatic machines able to fire 1,200 rounds a minute.” —New York Gov. Kathy Hochul
The BIG Lie
“What’s wrong with the SAVE Act? What’s wrong with it is that it might violate the 19th Amendment, which gives women the right to vote, because you’ve got to show that all of your different IDs match.” —Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD)
Race Bait
“I always tell people the day the Latino, African-American, Asian, and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning. Because we are the majority in this country now. We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed.” —Texas State Rep. Gene Wu (D), who was born in China (“If he said this about black people, Jews, or literally any other group, it would be the biggest story in the country and he’d be forced to resign by the end of the week. And we all know it. Anti-whiteism is the most prevalent and destructive bigotry in America and it’s not close.” —Matt Walsh)
That’s One Way to Put It
“I consider my own faith, Islam, a religion built upon a narrative of migration.” —New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani leaving out the war, conquest, slaughter, and rape that went with the migration
Re: The Left
“When you look at their entire agenda, it is clear that Democrats are trying to cancel the results of the 2024 elections by making it impossible for Donald Trump to fulfill his number one promise — the enforcement of our immigration laws. Their demands, if accepted, would be a de facto mass amnesty.” —Gary Bauer
“The more violence, Nazi-invective, and sheer craziness the left can instill — storming church services, ramming ICE vehicles, taking over the streets, or boasting of armed resistance — the more they believe that voters will blame not them, the instigators, but Trump.” —Victor Davis Hanson
“In the elitist media’s groupthink, the left-wing extremists never go too far, no matter how violent or destructive their tactics. Their goal isn’t keeping the streets safe. Their goal is destroying Trump and the Republicans.” —Tim Graham
For the Record
“If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital and in jail. If you hit one of us, you’re going to the hospital and jail and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs that we have here. If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at because we will kill you, graveyard dead. We’re not going to play.” —Brevard County (Florida) Sheriff Wayne Ivey
Re: The Leftmedia
“[Last] week, The Washington Post laid off a third of its entire staff, 300 people. Judging from the reaction of media elites, you may have thought democracy had actually died.” —David Harsanyi
Re: The Gender Cult
“The message out of Westchester County is clear: Doctors and psychologists are now potentially on the hook for irrevocable mutilation of patients in the name of gender ideology.” —Josh Hammer
Insight
“The world’s hopes rest with America’s future; America’s hopes rest with us.” —Ronald Reagan (1911-2024)
