Notable quotables from Gary Bauer, Al Sharpton, Andrew Cuomo, and more.
Insight: “The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.” —Michelangelo on the unveiling of his iconic “David” statue in Florence, Italy, September 8, 1504
For the record: “Sen. Kamala Harris said over the weekend that she ‘would not trust Donald Trump’ regarding a potential COVID-19 vaccine, saying, ‘He wants us to inject bleach.’ That’s another lie. … There is a greater chance that bureaucrats at the FDA will delay a vaccine because they don’t want Trump reelected than there is of scientists at the FDA approving a bad vaccine that they suspect may harm people.” —Gary Bauer
No kidding: “That it’s taken weeks for state and city leaders to issue unified statements condemning violence at these protests betrays an appalling lack of courage." —The Oregonian
Dezinformatsiya: "Several deaths have been connected to protests, but the story is more complicated.” —ABC News
A blind squirrel finds a nut: “To take all policing off is something a latte liberal may go for as they sit around the Hamptons discussing this as an academic problem. But people living on the ground need proper policing.” —Al Sharpton
Village… “Donald Trump caused the COVID outbreak in New York.” —Andrew Cuomo, 9/8/20
…idiot: “[Donald Trump] has delivered for New York.” —Andrew Cuomo, 4/13/20
Never let a crisis go to waste: “What we see from history is that crises like pandemics are sometimes necessary, unfortunately in a way, to deliver big political change or ideological change.” —economist Thomas Picketty
Alpha jackass: “Trump is objectively pro-Covid.” —MSNBC’s Chris Hayes
Non sequitur: “Donald Trump may be the only president in modern history to leave office with fewer jobs than when he took office.” —Joe Biden, neglecting to mention the small matter of a pandemic and that most of the jobs lost were directly tied to the actions taken by Democrat governors
And last… “DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO ERODE TRUST IN OUR AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS BY HOLDING ELECTIONS THROUGH THE SAME VOTING METHODS WE’VE USED SINCE ITS INCEPTION!!!” —Steven Crowder
