The BIG Lies

“America is not a deadbeat nation. We have never, ever failed to pay our debt. But MAGA Republicans are engaged in reckless hostage-taking by threatening to force America into default. It’s dangerous and wrong.” —Joe Biden

“The MAGA Republicans would pull cops off our streets, drive a wrecking ball through our border security, making it easier for deadly fentanyl to flood our streets.” —Senator Patty Murray (D-WA)

For the Record

“If the border’s secure, why is President Biden sending 1,500 active-duty military down to the border? When they can’t enforce immigration law, all they can do is change diapers and push paper.” —Senator John Cornyn (R-TX)

“The invasion of migrants is untenable for everyone. This humanitarian crisis is entirely Biden’s fault, and it is his job to fix it. It’s especially important that progressive Democrats who foolishly champion these policies face the music.” —Emmy Griffin

Non Compos Mentis

“No one has found antifa. … There is no person you can point to and say, ‘Oh, that person represents antifa.’ Every time they see four black people they think it’s antifa.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg

“At EPA, we’ve built ‘environmental justice’ into our very DNA.” —EPA Administrator Michael Regan

Observations

“[Justice Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow] sometimes took trips together and did other things friends sometimes do. There’s no evidence that a single one of Thomas’s rulings, writings, or votes was compromised by his longtime relationship, or that Crow even had an interest in any case before the Court, but Democrats want you to think something bad happened because they don’t like Thomas’s rulings. By the way, you’d be hard-pressed to find a member of the Senate or House who has not been on a private plane with a wealthy friend.” —Nate Jackson

“New research shows what unites Democrats — abortion on demand. According to the Pew Research Center, Democrats have become dramatically more pro-abortion. So much so that 84% of Democrats now believe abortion should be ‘legal in all or most cases.’ That’s up 21-points since 2007. Meanwhile, Republican views on the issue haven’t changed. All the talk of the GOP ‘moving too far right’ is just nonsense.” —Gary Bauer

“The difference between Democrats and Republicans today is that among Democrats, there is unity. … Democrats don’t care about fiscal and moral profligacy. They like it and are not afraid to say it. This is who they are. But Republicans continue to be all over the place despite the very deep, clear and, yes, dangerous problems confronting the nation.” —Star Parker

“Biden has a strategy that has already begun to emerge: He will tell voters that things are, in fact, going well for them, that he has done so, so much for them, and what really matters is MAGA. Americans should be so afraid of Make America Great Again Republicans, even if former President Donald Trump is not on the GOP ticket, that they should vote to keep a president who brought on a recession.” —Byron York

And Last…

“The dividing line in America right now isn’t between rich and poor, black and white, or even Democrat and Republican. It’s between those who are fundamentally pro-American and those who are anti-American.” —Vivek Ramaswamy
