The BIG Lies

“In a review of key claims by the documentary, ABC News found that the majority of the scientific observations made in ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ have come to fruition or are on track to in the years to come.” —ABC News’s Julia Jacobo

“The scientists were dead right on all the important elements of it, and it really is insane that we are continuing to use the sky as an open sewer.” —Al Gore

Non Sequitur

“I put [climate change] in the context of all of the other morally based challenges that humanity has confronted: the abolition of slavery, the women’s rights, and women’s suffrage.” —Al Gore

Virtue Signaling

“We’d also like to take a moment to recognize the original inhabitants of the land upon which we are gathered today. We honor the Anishinaabe, the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi Nations.” —former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett at the Obama Presidential Center

Demagogue

“The Founders fell terribly short of the Declaration’s promise, leaving slavery intact, allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who own property.” —Barack Obama

Fact-Check: False

“REMINDER: Medicare for All would save 68,000 lives and $450 billion a year.” —Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) (“Democrats created the present system, Obamacare. You appeared to believe, correctly, that it is failed, and now you want us to trust you to do it again?” —Kurt Schlichter)

“If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four-year-olds in America.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

“With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran.” —Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)

Delusions of Grandeur

“President Obama masterfully negotiated an agreement that prevented Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.” —Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

Upright

“We have to react disproportionately anytime they break the agreement.” —Victor Davis Hanson on ongoing U.S.-Iranian relations

Political Futures

“Of course, the Los Angeles election was stolen, openly, audaciously, without an ounce of shame. [Nithya] Raman could not be identified by 10 out of 10 Los Angelinos. Couldn’t liberals stop insulting our intelligence and stick to Hahaha, we stole the election, and there’s nothing you can do about it?” —Ann Coulter

Insight

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. … There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here and that is the English language … and we have room for but one, sole loyalty, and that loyalty is to the American people.” —Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)

And Last…

“We appear to be winning the hearts and minds of Europeans visiting for the World Cup with free refills and bbq ribs. Wait till we take them to a gun range.” —Nick Freitas
