Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Nate Jackson, Mike Pence, Eric Swalwell, Jennifer Granholm, and more.

For the Record

“It’s true that smuggling precedes Biden, and every death is not on his hands. It’s a problem that has been on the rise since 2013. He was well aware of that, being vice president back then, and yet he opened the border anyway. Ergo, Biden most certainly bears a good bit of blame for the humanitarian crisis that is our southern border.” —Nate Jackson

“The FDIC will reopen [Silicon Valley Bank] under the wing of a larger, healthier bank, but for sure, American taxpayers will be paying for the losses of depositors who made bad business decisions to leave all their cash in one bank, uninsured.” —Mark Alexander

“Taxpayers may not officially be picking up the tab [for the SVB collapse], but everyone else who uses a bank will pay for this down the road in the form of higher fees with their bank.” —Jim Geraghty

“I had no right to overturn the election and his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable.” —Mike Pence

A Blind Squirrel Finds a Nut

“Literally 100 million Americans are on TikTok an average of 90 minutes a day. That data is residing in China no matter what TikTok says, and the truth is TikTok can be used as a propaganda mechanism for the Communist Party of China. That I believe is a national security concern.” —Democrat Senate Intel Chairman Mark Warner

Orwellian

“Nothing makes [troops] feel more like home than their access, you know, to American television programming, and a popular channel is Fox News. And, again, I don’t want to get in the business of telling troops what they can and cannot watch, but if you have a news station that a court is going to rule is … perpetuating dis- and misinformation, I don’t know if I disagree with VoteVets, who is saying that we need to take a look at, you know, how this is being broadcast to our troops." —Congressman Eric Swalwell

Blame-Shifting

"During the Obama-Biden administration, we put in place tough requirements on banks … to make sure that the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again. Unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements.” —Joe Biden

The BIG Lie

“Take-home pay for workers is going up, especially for lower- and middle-income workers.” —Joe Biden

Belly Laughs of the Week

“Social media companies are not biased against conservatives.” —Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz

“I think China … has been very sensitive and has actually invested a lot in their solutions to achieve their [climate] goals. So we’re hopeful that, you know, we can all learn from what China is doing.” —Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm

And Last…

“The only way I know how to improve the president’s budget is with a shredder.” —Senator John Kennedy
