Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Gary Bauer, Ilhan Omar, Eric Adams, and more.

For the Record

“President Biden traveled 10 miles from the White House to Springfield, Virginia, Thursday for what was clearly a campaign event, but the taxpayers are picking up the tab anyway. He repeatedly attacked ‘MAGA Republicans’ throughout his speech. But when he wasn’t attacking Republicans, he was bragging about the Biden/Harris economy. … It’s a bit of an exaggeration to suggest, as the president did, that ‘the Biden economic plan is working,’ and that ‘we’re moving in the right direction.’ As Senator John Kennedy noted, ‘President Biden is the only person in the [galaxy] who thinks our country is headed in the right direction.’” —Gary Bauer

The BIG Lie

“I might have used words at the time that I didn’t understand were trafficking in antisemitism. … I certainly did not or was not aware that the word ‘hypnotize’ was a trope. I wasn’t aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money. … To insinuate that I knowingly said these things, when people have read into my comments to make it sound as if I have something against the Jewish community, is so wrong.” —Congresswoman Ilhan Omar

Non Compos Mentis

“I think race is still on the table.” —NYC Mayor Eric Adams vis-à-vis Tyre Nichols

“These cops were blue before they were black. … This is why in the midst of all of this happening, banning AP African-American studies in Florida is the wrong thing to do because we need to learn from history.” —"The View" co-host Ana Navarro

And Last…

“Apparently, five black police officers involved in the alleged murder of a black man are emissaries of white supremacy. Or alternatively, members of the media largely care about narrative more than actual fact.” —Ben Shapiro
