Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Karine Jean-Pierre, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and more.

The BIG Lies

“When it comes to illegal migration, you’ve seen it come down by more than 90%, and that’s because of the actions that this president has taken.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“This is a president who understands what it’s like to make sure that we put the American people first, and that’s what he’s going to continue to do.” —Karine Jean-Pierre

“Created more jobs in two years than any presidency has created in four. Unemployment is near its lowest rate in over 50 years. Our economic plan is working.” —Vice President Kamala Harris

Dumb & Dumber

“The rigors with which the president works, things like his trip to Ukraine, which was an incredibly arduous and dangerous trip that the president took — I think they answer the mail on the questions about his age.” —former Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain

“I suspect it has to do with the real fear of the growth of right-wing extremism in this country.” —Senator Bernie Sanders (VT) when asked, “Why is it that not a single leading Democrat is willing to contest [Biden’s] nomination in the primaries?”

Braying Jenny

“Here’s what I think. I think [Republicans are] losers. They’re losers. They’re losing on guns. … They’re losing on women’s right to choose, which is a losing issue for them and was during the last midterm election. … So now they turn to the trans and drag communities because they think that that has some salience. I don’t know, does anybody really think that the drag issue is a threat? Of course not, so they’re going to lose on that too.” —former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Junk Science

“There is a lot of scientific research that says gender is a spectrum.” —NBC’s Chuck Todd (“Leftists like Todd proclaim Republicans to be science deniers when it comes to so-called ‘climate change’ yet he says with a straight face that there are more than two genders.” —Kevin Tober)

Re: The Left

“Legislation labeled as ‘anti-trans’ are really laws that protect women, children, parents and families. The lies are being pushed to get people to fight for the abolishment of their own rights to privacy, protection and free speech, and destroy parental rights over children.” —Outspoken Samantha

“There is a natural impulse to ‘go along to get along.’ But the left won’t ‘get along.’ It means to rule or ruin.” —Gary Bauer

For the Record

“Biden has shown himself to be a determined enemy of the rule of law and constitutional constraints on the power of the executive branch. This is one of the most consequential aspects of his presidency.” —Rich Lowry

“Willful blindness is worse than stupidity because those willing to learn can remediate the latter. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.” —Jordan Peterson
