Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Katherine Clark, Olivia Dalton, Paul Krugman, and more.

The BIG Lies

“We have seen real results from … the actions that the president has taken to lower costs for the American people.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“Bidenomics is working, and that is the great news for the American people.” —House Democrat Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA)

“Bidenomics is just another way of saying ‘restore the American Dream.’” —Joe Biden

“Wages are growing faster than inflation.” —Joe Biden

“We’ve seen tremendous economic gains across [the] last couple of years — you know, record-low inflation, record-low unemployment matched with rising wages.” —Principal Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Dalton

“It’s clear … that Democrats are pro-accountability, equal treatment under the law.” —Congressman Greg Casar (D-TX)

“There was not a scintilla of political interference as it relates to the charging decisions … with respect to the Hunter Biden case.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

“I don’t like these attacks on the Department of Justice, the FBI, the IRS, as if they are somehow anti-U.S. agencies. Those agencies keep this democracy in check. They provide the checks, and they provide the balances.” —Congressman Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) (“Checks and balances do not come from the IRS, the FBI and the Department of Justice, all of which are executive branch agencies. Checks and balances come from the division of power between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government, with each branch checking the power of the others. The idea that the FBI and the IRS are to keep the American people ‘in check’ is alarming. That’s totalitarianism!” —Gary Bauer)

Well … Because There Is

“My colleagues on the other side of the aisle would have us believe that there’s a two-tiered justice system that privileges Democrats over Republicans.” —Congressman Max Frost (D-FL)

Hot Air

“We absolutely should politicize the weather. In practice, environmental policy probably won’t be a central issue in the 2024 campaign, which will mainly turn on the economy and social issues. Still, we’re living in a time of accelerating climate-related disasters, and the environmental extremism of the Republican Party — it is more hostile to climate action than any other major political party in the advanced world — would, in a more rational political debate, be the biggest election issue of them all.” —New York Times columnist Paul Krugman

And Last…

“Joe Biden could take a $5 million bribe on 5th ave and the media would bury it.” —David Harsanyi
