Tuesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Scott Jennings, Chris Wright, Tom Homan, Stephen Miller, Pramila Jayapal, Tim Miller, Gad Saad, Donald Trump, and more.
From the Reasonable Right
“For the first time in 60 years, prescription drug prices are falling. Every single politician … said they were going to do it. Trump and the Republicans finally did it.” —Scott Jennings
“[Iran’s] exports today are zero barrels of oil per day. The United States military’s bringing out eight or nine million barrels of oil per day. Is that America … controlling what’s happening there, or is that Iran controlling what’s happening there?” —Energy Secretary Chris Wright
“The insane left believed [Luigi] Mangione was innocent, and the insane right believed [Tyler] Robinson was innocent. In both, it was emotion, not reason, that got them there, and they cannot be reasoned out of what they emoted themselves into.” —Erick Erickson
“They say they want to abolish ICE. … So you want to abolish an agency that found 151,000 children. You want to abolish an agency that seized enough fentanyl to kill every American three times over again. You want to abolish an agency that is attacking sex trafficking.” —Border Czar Tom Homan
“This is a struggle for the survival of America. … Abolishing police, abolishing borders, abolishing ICE, abolishing fossil fuels, gutting the Department of War — these actions collectively would bring America to its knees. … They want to hand over our nation to illegal aliens, criminals, jihadists, and communists. … This is a party that is fundamentally committed to the destruction of America.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller
From the Loony Left
“What we’re going towards is Russia. [Attorney General Todd Blanche] sounds just like whoever … Vladimir Putin would put in charge.” —New York Congressman Gregory Meeks
“Progressives have always been about advancing things that are good for Americans.” —Washington Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal
“I’m not saying that every Republican voter is a bad person, but I think that, on balance, a majority of Republican voters want, or they resonate with, the idea of a blood-and-soil nationalist party.” —The Bulwark’s Tim Miller
For the Record
“Muslims are truly brilliant in the manner by which they’ve been playing the West (as they repeatedly explained that they would). They use pervasive ‘woke speak’ such as colonialism (to criticize the West) when Islam is the grandest of all colonial powers ever. Fifty-seven countries today are part of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation each of which was once 0% Muslim. Muslims are truly in no position to lecture ANYONE about colonialism other than to accept the crown as the Lionel Messi of colonialists.” —Gad Saad
Belly Laughs of the Day
“AOC and her fiancé have called it quits after ten years together. But she says they can still be comrades.” —Bill Maher
“[Kamala Harris] was a great candidate. I think they should run her again.” —President Donald Trump
