Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Markwayne Mullin, Chris Coons, “Ashley” Webb, Don Lemon, Ro Khanna, Angie Sullivan, Ed Markey, Jordan Peterson, and more.

For the Record
“We’ve identified 250,000 noncitizens registered to vote in just four states.” —Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin

Up Is Down
“For Markwayne Mullin, the secretary of homeland security, to now be threatening criminal sanctions for those who won’t purge illegals out of our voter rolls is just another step in undermining confidence in our elections.” —Delaware Senator Chris Coons

The BIG Lie
“The SAVE Act … is a ridiculous solution to a problem that does not exist. Foreigners do not vote in U.S. elections.” —Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes

Race Bait
“The so-called SAVE Act … is a voter disenfranchisement law that would make Jim Crow look pale in comparison.” —Virginia Senator Mark Warner

“Anyone paying attention to the [Supreme] Court, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act and unleashing Jim Crow-like tactics on black Americans, particularly in the Deep South, would understand the illegitimacy of that decision.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries

Lack of Self-Awareness Award
“I wouldn’t lie to the people, and I wouldn’t deceive the people.” —Maine Senate candidate “Ashley” Webb, a “trans woman” who is unable to stop deceiving himself about his own gender

Delusions of Grandeur
“People keep asking me if I’m running for president. … I actually think I would be a really good president of the United States.” —former CNN host Don Lemon

Theater of the Absurd
“Israel needs to be treated like an occupying power that is engaged in apartheid in the West Bank and that has committed a genocide. And those are just the facts on the ground.” —California Congressman Ro Khanna

Braying Jennies
“What there is going to be is ICE agents and the leaders of ICE brought in front of Congress and asked why they are executing people in the streets of America.” —"The View" cohost Ana Navarro

“I just think homeschooling is a bad idea from soup to nuts. I don’t care if you’re a nuclear physicist. I think it’s just f—ing weird as f—k that you want your kids around you all day, every day, and all night. … I don’t trust somebody that wants to be with their kids 24/7. I think a lot of dumb people do it because it’s just easier, and that’s a concern.” —podcaster Angie Sullivan

Hot Air
“The climate crisis is here. Wildfire smoke is suffocating our communities and our children are breathing dirty air. We need a Green New Deal.” — Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey

Re: The Left
“In 2016, no Democrats — zero — voted to cut off aid to Israel. In 2024 — a year after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 Israelis — 37 Democrats shockingly voted to end aid to Israel. … Wednesday, 103 House Democrats voted to abandon our Israeli allies. … The Democrat Party is making it clear that they don’t care what happens to Jews here or in Israel.” —Gary Bauer

And Last…
“Marxism is nothing more or less than the current instantiation of a much more ancient evil: possession by the envious and hateful spirit that drove Cain to murder his brother Abel. … The first two human beings born into history are, respectively, a good, honest productive man and his brother, who allows himself to be consumed by resentment and the desire to destroy. Communism, in a nutshell.” —Dr. Jordan Peterson
