Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Whoopi Goldberg, Kamala Harris, Stacey Plaskett, and more.

The BIG Lies

“What this [IRS whistleblower testimony] showed, clearly, is that there was no special treatment with Hunter Biden; that this is someone who has a more zealous view of prosecution in cases that have nothing to do with Hunter Biden.” —Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA)

“They [BLM rioters] were taking care of the people in their town ‘cause they didn’t like what they saw.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg

“In the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery. They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us and we will not stand for it!” —Kamala Harris

“Extremists here in Florida pass[ed] a law, 'Don’t say gay,’ trying to instill fear in our teachers that they should not live their full life and love who they love.” —Kamala Harris

Delusions of Grandeur

“She [Kamala Harris] is an icon. She is an icon in the South Asian community, in the African American community, among millions of women in this country.” —New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy

“This president did such a remarkable job. He is a person of such knowledge, such vision for the country, such knowledge of the issues, such strategic thinking, and such a legislator. And on top of it all, a person who connects with the American people.” —Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

Dumb & Dumber

“I believe that over the next year, Americans are really gonna learn what the Biden administration has done to support American families and drive down inflation and all the good works that they’re doing.” —Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands)

“[Republicans] want to talk about censorship; that anytime you point out untruths, you’re censoring. You’re stopping people from speaking. … People can speak, but we’re also going to give the American people the truth so that they can have science and facts and history against wild, outlandish claims that the Republicans are trying to get that’s not only going to keep them from going to the polls or suppressing vote[s] or telling untruths but is also really very detrimental to the American people.” —Stacey Plaskett

Theater of the Absurd

“I issued a memo very early on that we would not use the term ‘illegal alien.’” —Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

“Some have used the border as a cudgel and conflated migration and the trafficking of fentanyl.” —Alejandro Mayorkas

“We have to place the level of migration we have experienced in its hemispheric and worldwide context.” —Alejandro Mayorkas

Hot Air

“The bomb has gone off, but we do have the ability to restrain fossil fuels if we make the commitments we need to.” —Washington Governor Jay Inslee

For the Record

“Think about it: The very books [Barack] Obama wants to keep on the shelves of elementary and middle schools contain such graphic images and language that they couldn’t be read on broadcast television or the evening news. But the groomers writing and pushing these books enjoy the political and financial support of the Democrats.” —Brian Mark Weber

Insight

“Man exists for his own sake and not to add a laborer to the State.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

And Last…

“DEI, like all other forms of race-centricity or race-consciousness, is cancerous to a free people. It must be destroyed.” —Josh Hammer
