Tuesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Joe Biden, Chris Coons, Time magazine, and more.
Non Compos Mentis
“When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, something is still very wrong in America.” —Joe Biden
“We need to push back against the hundreds of callous and cynical bills and laws introduced in states targeting transgender children, terrifying families, and criminalizing doctors and nurses. These bills and laws attack the most basic values and freedoms we have as Americans — that’s not hyperbole.” —Joe Biden
“Let me close with what I see today at the White House, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I see families who testified in state capitols against laws stripping them of their freedom. I see students who are leading walkouts and protests of hateful bills like ‘Don’t Say Gay.’ … You’re some of the bravest and most inspiring people I’ve ever known.” —Joe Biden
“We know that this year’s Pride is caught between the push and pull of progress. Outside the gates of this house are those who want to drag our country backwards.” —Jill Biden
The BIG Lies
“The president respects the Department of Justice. He respects the rule of law. … He particularly wants to make sure that we restore the integrity of the Department of Justice, that we do not politicize the Department of Justice.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre
“I think there’s no evidence that the federal Department of Justice has been weaponized.” —Senator Chris Coons (D-DE)
“I think the best thing for Joe Biden to do in this campaign is to keep showing that he is an effective and capable president by continuing to solve big problems.” —Chris Coons
“We know how to be good journalists because we do it every single day.” —CNN’s Dana Bash
Faux Pas
“How Ukraine’s Dam Collapse Could Become the Country’s ‘Chernobyl.’” —Time magazine headline
For the Record
“Last week, the Wall Street Journal published a shocking investigative report on how Instagram is enabling pedophilia and horrific crimes against children. … Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal report comes at the very same time that prominent people are insisting that young children be exposed to drag queen shows so that men can do suggestive dances in front of them. This investigative report was printed at exactly the same time when major corporations, sports teams and even the president of the United States are demanding that children, who can barely tie their shoes, be indoctrinated by adults to believe there are ‘no norms’ when it comes to complicated subjects like sex and gender.” —Gary Bauer
And Last…
“There is literally no greater expression of hatred and hostility towards women than to erase us as an entire category of people.” —former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard
