Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Mike Pompeo, Sen. Sanders, Michael Bloomberg, and more.

Observations: “Chelsea Clinton has made $9 million working on a corporate board with no real world experience. I’m noticing a trend here: Joe Biden’s son — multimillionaire. Hillary Clinton’s daughter — multimillionaire. John Kerry’s son — multimillionaire. What do they all have in common?” —Charlie Kirk


Upright:

Chris Wallace: “Some analysts suggest that the impeachment of President Trump has emboldened enemies like Iran and North Korea. Do you think … that some of our enemies think that this president is more vulnerable because of the impeachment effort?”

Mike Pompeo: “You should ask Mr. Soleimani.”


Friendly fire: “It’s just a lot of baggage that Joe [Biden] takes into a campaign, which isn’t going to create energy and excitement. He brings into this campaign a record which is so weak that it just cannot create the kind of excitement and energy that is going to be needed to defeat Donald Trump.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders

Letting the cat out of the bag: “I don’t give a [Medicare for All] number and I’ll tell you why — it’s such a huge number and it’s so complicated that if I gave a number, you and 50 other people would go through it and say, ‘Oh…’” —Bernie Sanders

Non compos mentis: “It may be true that someone in the [West Freeway Church of Christ] congregation had his own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people, but it’s the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot. You just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place.” —Michael Bloomberg

Crisis averted: “I have just sent the Ayatollah of Iran a personal appeal asking him not to respond to our assassination of his top General with violence of any kind, but rather let me & millions of Americans fix this peacefully.” —Michael Moore

Demo-gogues: “In the process of this whole episode going on right now, we have alienated our allies. It’s the first time I’m aware of that all of our NATO allies are making the moral equivalence between us and Iran. No one’s saying, ‘We’re with the United States of America.’” —Joe Biden

Dezinformatsiya: “Soleimani is — it’s difficult to convey how revered he is in Iran. Imagine the French Foreign Legion, at the height of the French empire. This guy is regarded in Iran as a completely heroic figure, personally very brave.” —CNN’s Fareed Zakaria

The BIG Lie: “Look, it was a targeted attack on a government official, a high-ranking official for the government of Iran. We are not safer today than we were before Donald Trump acted.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren

And last… “The Ayatollah hasn’t even had to hire a PR machine in the West. He’s got Obama Admin officials going on TV for him.” —Erick Erickson
