Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Tom Cotton, Tulsi Gabbard, Bill Maher, Jen Psaki, and more.

Insight

“By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished.” —Sir Denison Miller (1860-1923)

“Perhaps conservatives are rallying around Joe Rogan because they don’t need a figure to agree with 100 percent of their worldview in order to conclude that he is worth defending from an angry mob that desires censorship of differing views.” —Jim Geraghty

For the Record

“It’s true that a lot of Democrats — to include Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and others — do seem to care more about Ukraine’s border than our southern border at a time when we’ve had two million illegal immigrants cross our border under Joe Biden’s tenure in office. I mean, that’s like adding the entire population of Nebraska to this country.” —Senator Tom Cotton

“If students are not performing well in a particular school, let’s provide them with an alternative. For me, public school worked just fine. For my son, he attended private school and ended up switching to a public school to take a particular class. For others, the best option might be homeschooling, charter schools, magnet schools or a different public school. School choice is the civil rights issue of our day. … If we recognize that every child is unique, we cannot continue the failed one-size-fits-all approach to education. Parents — not the government — know best how to address their kids’ educational needs. We should empower them to do it.” —Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker

Democrat Friendly Fire

“Biden chose Harris as his VP because of the color of her skin and sex — not qualification. She’s been a disaster. Now he promises to choose Supreme Court nominee on the same criteria.  Identity politics is destroying our country.” —Tulsi Gabbard

“I’m triple vaxxed, but (unless they’re standing for hate or calling for violence) banning someone’s podcast is too much like burning a book to me. Joe Rogan should talk on his podcast about whatever he damn well pleases.” —Marianne Williamson

“It’s not me who’s changed, it’s the left, who is now made up of a small contingent who’ve gone mental and a large contingent who refuse to call them out for it. But I will. That’s why I’m a hero at Fox these days. Which shows just how much liberals have their head up their a**, because if they really thought about it, they would have made me a hero on their media.” —Bill Maher

The BIG Lies

“[Vladimir] Putin also understands the opportunity of … giving the Republicans ammunition to topple the American government this November. And I don’t say that lightly. If the Republicans win power this November, that’s it. The American experiment is over. It is the basis for autocracy.” —MSNBC’s Malcolm Nance

“I’m not sure the specifics of what you’re referring to.” —White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki feigning ignorance when questioned about the now well-documented cases of plane loads of illegal immigrants being flown in the middle of the night to undisclosed locations

“The role that Border Patrol agents play in ensuring security and safety at our borders is something that there’s great value for in this administration.” —Jen Psaki

Race Bait

“The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.” —Anti-Defamation League’s new definition of “Racism”

“Conservatives don’t mind affirmative action hires so long as the people hired fit their preferred demographic.” —The ReidOut Blog writer Ja'han Jones

Non Sequitur Award

“[Biden’s] a good president. He might be at 40% or 30%, but you know what? He’s doing everything right.” —former DNC interim chair Donna Brazile

Non Compos Mentis Award

“The Holocaust isn’t about race. No. It’s not about race.” —"The View’s" Whoopi Goldberg, who subsequently apologized and then doubled down

And Last…

“If truckers quit their jobs, society would immediately collapse. If politicians quit their jobs, the world would become a better place. We need truckers more than anybody else. Honk Honk.” —Greg Price
