Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Jamie Raskin, Dan Goldman, Rachel Levine, Cori Bush, and more.

The BIG Lies

“There is no evidence that Hunter Biden has received any kind of official favoritism in this prosecution for being Joe Biden’s son.” —Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD)

“The fact that he’s even taking a plea deal in my mind demonstrates a two-tiered system of justice against Hunter Biden.” —Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY)

For the Record

“Everything they told you the Trump family was doing, the Biden family was actually doing.” —Clay Travis

“The Bidens have put themselves first and Americans last.” —Congressman James Comer (R-KY)

Non Compos Mentis

“Adolescence is hard and puberty is hard. What if you’re going through the wrong puberty? What if you inside feel that you are female, but now you’re going through a male puberty?” —Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine

“Banning medication abortion would be like placing a ban on Tylenol [or] a ban on antibiotics. There is no scientific, no valid medical reason to do so. It is only political propaganda.” —Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO)

“Medication abortion is a lifeline. It’s a lifeline for the person working multiple jobs who can’t afford to take a day off work because wages are too low or they don’t have paid sick leave. It’s a lifeline for the mom of two who can’t afford childcare or who can’t find that affordable childcare. It’s a lifeline for the person who lives hundreds of miles away from the nearest clinic and does not have reliable transportation. It’s a lifeline for the trans folks who face transphobia and bigotry.” —Cori Bush

Braying Jennies

“We’re here again, reaffirming Congress’ support for apartheid. … Israel is an apartheid state.” —Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)

“There’s currently a crisis of democracy and apartheid.” —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) regarding Israel

Theater of the Absurd

“We couldn’t be better served … than by President Joe Biden. This is a person who respects other points of view, a person who has a vision about our country that is consistent with the vision of our Founders.” —Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

“Age is relative. … He’s younger than I am, so he’s a kid to me as well, the president is.” —Nancy Pelosi

Observations

“Sexually explicit material, entertainment, themes, and stories that are specifically targeted toward younger and younger age groups have become rampant in today’s society, and children are systemically being desensitized to content that has been devastating to their self-worth. The result of raising children in a hypersexualized world is that they see no need to protect themselves. They also will not develop an ability to recognize what is appropriate and inappropriate behavior, and their conscience that would have driven them to stop it upon seeing it or experiencing it will be silenced.” —Samantha Koch
