Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Antony Blinken, Greg Abbott, Vivek Ramaswamy, and more.

The BIG Lies

“One of the great benefits of this job is that I don’t do politics and don’t engage in it.” —Secretary of State Antony Blinken

“We get up every day making sure that this economy is delivering for working people all across the country.” —Biden economic adviser Heather Boushey

Race Bait

“Governor Abbott is once again deciding to play politics with people’s lives by resuming the busing of asylum seekers to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, and Washington, D.C. Not only is this behavior morally bankrupt and devoid of any concern for the well-being of asylum seekers, but it is also impossible to ignore the fact that Abbott is now targeting five cities run by Black mayors. Put plainly, Abbott is using this crisis to hurt Black-run cities.” —New York City Mayor Eric Adams

Upright

“If you truly want to ‘work together to find a real solution’ to this border crisis gripping our nation, you must call on the Biden Administration to do its job by securing our border, repelling the illegal immigrants flooding into our communities, classifying the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and intercepting the deadly fentanyl that is endangering our country. You are right that ‘this situation is completely untenable,’ but this is not a Texas problem — this is a problem for the entire United States of America. Texas began busing migrants to sanctuary cities such as your ‘Welcoming City,’ along with Washington, D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia, to provide much-needed relief to our overrun border communities. Until President Biden secures the border to stop the inflow of mass migration, Texas will continue this necessary program.” —Texas Governor Greg Abbott in response to Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot

For the Record

“‘The failure of First Republic Bank shows how deregulation has made the too big to fail problem even worse,’ Senator Elizabeth Warren declared. ‘A poorly supervised bank was snapped up by an even bigger bank — ultimately taxpayers will be on the hook. Congress needs to make major reforms to fix a broken banking system.’ Someone get a Leftmedia fact-checker on the line. They scolded and censored anyone who dared suggest that taxpayers might ‘be on the hook’ for SVB or Signature Bank.” —Nate Jackson

“Remember that three of the four biggest bank collapses in U.S. history occurred post Dodd-Frank and under Joe Biden’s inflationary economic regime.” —Nate Jackson

Re: The Left

“Gay movement: the sex you’re attracted to is hardwired at birth, even though there’s no gay gene. Trans movement: your sex is entirely fluid, even though there is a definitive sex chromosome. LGBT movement: you must believe both of those things at once, or else you’re a bigot.” —Vivek Ramaswamy

“If you are a Christian using trans pronouns, you are aiding the Enemy in advancing a movement that’s destroying bodies, souls, families, & nations. There’s no neutrality or nuance here.” —Allie Beth Stuckey

And Last…

“There is no carefully crafted narrative or hand-selected imagery that can erase the downward spiral and loss of freedom and rights that we can see with our own eyes. We are too aware of the suffering we do not want to see continue for our friends and neighbors. Joe Biden has repeatedly demonstrated no interest in preserving freedom.” —Samantha Koch
