For the record: “I don’t think anything has occurred that would change your mind if your view is that you can’t impeach a former president.” —Sen. Roy Blunt

Impeachment theater: “The vice president and I don’t agree on too much in politics. But he’s a man who upholds his oath, his faith, his duty, and most of all upholds the Constitution. … [He’s] a Patriot.” —Rep. Joaquin Castro, one of more than a few Democrats who suddenly adore Mike Pence

Science? “The president wants schools to open safely and in accord with science and we are going to listen to science and medical expert” —Jen Psaki on why Biden is slow-walking his promise to reopen schools (“An administration that puts facts and science first would be conducting a full-court press to open schools.” —Mitch McConnell)

Cuomo’s death toll worse than thought: “This is the biggest bombshell we have had so far. We had a trickling in of the numbers. We knew the numbers were much bigger than the governor was admitting. Over 15,000 residents died from getting COVID in their nursing homes … and now the biggest bombshell coming from the New York Post that his secretary, Melissa DeRosa, admitted that they covered it all up. … I believe all of them should go to jail.” —Fox News’s Janice Dean, who lost both her parents-in-law to the pandemic last year

Nailing hypocrisy: “Restricting the right of Americans to travel freely throughout our country while allowing illegal aliens to pour across the southern border unmolested would be a ridiculous but very damaging farce. It would not be based in science. It would purely be a political attack against the people of Florida.” —Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

Nailing hypocrisy II: “The day after Donald Trump issued a travel ban on China, Joe Biden said that this is no time for his xenophobia and that sort of thing. And then, a month later, he actually tweeted out that banning travel from anywhere did not work. So, to now read that they’re considering actual restrictions on Americans inside the country, I think, is unconstitutional, I think is going to be challenged in court successfully. But I think it also gives you some insight into who we’re dealing with here: hypocrites.” —Marco Rubio

Gun grabbers are coming: “First I will say that the president addressing gun violence in the country and putting in place additional safety measures is something that the president has a personal commitment to, and his history on this issue is evidence of that. He has obviously taken on the NRA twice and won and he is happy and eager to do that in the future.” —Jen Psaki

Things you can’t say: “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors … even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?” —actress Gina Carano, who was just fired by Disney for posting such insolence

And last: “[‘Mandalorian’ star] Pedro Pascal obviously has faced no backlash or punishment for doing exactly what Gina Carano did, and doing it, in his case, with the use of blatant misinformation. Of course, Pascal can get away with it because he abides by left-wing doctrine. He even has pronouns in his Twitter bio — a kind of modern ‘lamb’s blood on the door,’ signaling to the Angel of Cancelation to pass over his household.” —Matt Walsh
