Notable quotables from Scott Pelley, Stephen L. Miller, Erick Erickson, Gary Bauer, Allen West, Jimmy Failla, John Kennedy, and more.
Dezinformatsiya
“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. … For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story.” —fired “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley
For the Record
“So every single high-profile Democratic Party operative is coming to the hissy fit defense of firing Scott Pelley, and they don’t even realize this proves the entire point? Not a single one of them is conscious about this?” —Stephen L. Miller
“Every single journalist you see today making Scott Pelley a hero or martyr is complicit in the decline of the American press, which is viewed less favorably by Americans than Ebola.” —Erick Erickson
Political Futures
“I’m starting to wonder what the value is in the whole country watching a 75-year-old woman insist that her husband, who was falling apart before our eyes, was always a campaigning Hercules and could have won a race he was losing badly. Yes, she’s delusional. We all have known she’s delusional for a long time. All this book tour is telling us is that she’s still delusional.” —Jim Geraghty on Jill Biden
“The difference between Republicans and Democrats, even in the worst case, is that we have a chance of solving the problem with Republicans. We still have Republican leaders who understand what our country is about and the importance of keeping our citizens and our markets free and dynamic. With Democrats the chance is zero.” —Star Parker
Re: The Left
“What [Kamala] Harris and other leftists are calling the ‘fight for equality’ is a demand to teach our children about the behaviors and practices of their movement. The ‘equality’ they want is for your child in kindergarten to be read to by drag queens.” —Gary Bauer
“We need to stop adopting the absurd language of the left and refer to this as it is: gender dysphoria, a designated mental condition. That is not Col. Allen West making this up. It comes from the American Psychiatric Association. Just to clarify to everyone, the U.S. military does not allow people to serve with certain health conditions. … Gender dysphoria is not consistent with the good order and discipline of our military and its mission.” —Allen West
Belly Laugh of the Day
“ELECTION UPDATE: It looked like California was going RED, but it’s currently going BLACK from all the printer ink they’re using to make extra Democrat ballots right now.” —Jimmy Failla
And Last…
“You have the right to protest peacefully. You don’t have the right to protest violently. Here is some free advice: Most cops and border patrol agents will leave you alone, unless you do illegal stuff.” —Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)
