Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Michelle Lujan Grisham, Jill Biden, Larry Elder, Tom Segura, Armstrong Williams, Ben Shapiro, and more.

Non Compos Mentis

“I know that antisemitism and Islamophobia tend to go hand in hand, and the real issue when it comes to either of them is the scourge of white supremacy.” —Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D)

Braying Jenny

“If women, Democratic women, just show up and vote, we’re good. We don’t need any of the men.” —New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D)

Shot/Chasers

“I was frightened because I had never, ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never. … I don’t know what happened. I mean, as I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.” —Jill Biden on her husband’s disastrous 2024 debate

“Jill famously boasted on stage with Joe Biden after the debate about how he did ‘such a great job.’ … Great example of elder abuse.” —Collin Rugg

“Jill Biden was SO concerned her husband had a stroke during the debate, she started a ‘4 more years’ chant right after. What a power-hungry sociopath.” —Jimmy Failla

Re: The Left

“Republicans’ crusade against fraud has ramped up since YouTuber Nick Shirley’s videos alleging widespread abuse of federal funds in Minnesota’s Somali-run childcare centers went viral in December. Democrats are still figuring out how to coherently respond. Many appear to be torn between scrambling to solve the problem and condemning anyone who dares to point it out.” —Jonas Du

“There are four black Republican U.S. House representatives; none represents a majority black district. Democrats are the party of identity politics.” —Larry Elder

“Democrats decided they needed to do a better job of speaking to normal men, and the three white guys they picked to do it are Tim Walz, James Talarico, and Graham Platner. This is legit hysterical.” —Clay Travis

“There’s two types now [of Los Angeles residents]: The ones who acknowledge that this is different, and then the delusional ones.” —comedian Tom Segura

“Audiences increasingly distrust media personalities who appear openly partisan while still claiming the moral authority of neutral entertainers. This is where the collapse of late-night television becomes symbolic of a larger crisis in corporate media itself.” —Armstrong Williams

“The broader media narrative reflects a longstanding tendency in parts of the American press to interpret nearly every assertion of U.S. power as evidence of American weakness. Military action becomes proof of overreach. Economic pressure becomes recklessness. Adversaries surviving become adversaries winning. But survival is not victory, and disruption is not dominance.” —Ben Shapiro
