Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Cardi B, Jasmine Crockett, Thelma Anderson, Raphael Warnock, Ian Haworth, Greg Gutfeld, Byron York, and more.

Village Idiots

“Wow! Just freakin wow! DISGUSTING… This is not justice, this is trying to make an example!!!” —rapper Cardi B on the conviction of Karmelo Anthony

“If a 300-pound man is beating me, like on top of me and beating me down, I’m not limited to fists.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s (D-TX) big lie regarding the murdered Austin Metcalf

“I would argue the size of [the knife] alone, you wouldn’t even think it’s a deadly weapon.” —Jasmine Crockett

Race Bait

“Black women, especially black women who have black male children, live in fear and agony every single day… I promise you the Metcalfs probably never spent a day living that way.” —Jasmine Crockett

“Pray for the Anthony family because they have been legally lynched for the last year, and more so by this slaughterhouse of a courthouse, as well as the family of the Metcalfs. So, the energy right now is their white supremacy. They have shown up to be the pigs that they display with hate.” —Dallas attorney Thelma Anderson

Demagogue

“I think that the Supreme Court has committed violence against … the ways in which ordinary people can have a voice in our system.” —Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA)

Newspeak

“Man attempts to behead another man in the street. ‘No evidence of terror at this stage, say police.’ If that isn’t terror, what is? How much more terrifying does it need to be to qualify as terror?” —evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins

Re: the Left

“On the one hand, [Democrats] will argue that Republicans are unworthy of support because of their moral failings. On the other hand, they will argue that Democrats are worthy of support despite their moral failings because of the moral failings of Republicans. So, moral failings matter, but they also don’t matter. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how Democrats can spend decades calling people like you and me a ‘Nazi’ or a ‘fascist’ or ‘just like Hitler’ and then immediately fall over themselves to vote for the guy with a Nazi tattoo.” —Ian Haworth

“[Graham] Platner … is not a man; he’s a trans man — a person who exaggerates the stereotypes of masculinity, from the face fur to the tats to the deep guttural grind of his death-metal voice. He comes off as real as a California election.” —Greg Gutfeld

For the Record

“Billions of dollars were stolen because Minnesota state leaders turned a blind eye to rampant fraud and retaliated against state employees who dared to raise concerns. It is now clear the Walz Administration chose to protect the system rather than protect the taxpayer.” —House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY)

Cleanup on Aisle 46

“Trump’s striking progress on the wall is attracting less opposition because of Biden’s catastrophic record. Biden showed the nation the danger of a reckless open borders policy. Trump fixed it.” —Byron York

Upright

“You were not put on this planet to sit at home and watch television. The average person who’s on Medicaid, who’s able-bodied, watches 6.1 hours of television or just hangs out every day. That’s not why God put you here. You have a bigger aspiration. You have agency over your future goal. Show what you can do in the world.” —CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz

And Last…

“We’ll see what happens with the deal. We were really close to a deal, but they keep tapping us along. They keep playing us for suckers, because you know what? They dealt with some very stupid presidents.” —President Donald Trump on Iran
