Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, Michael LaRosa, and more.

The BIG Lies

“Well, there are polls that also say I have great approval ratings.” —Kamala Harris

“By the way, all the stuff we did in the economy, all these programs that we’ve put forward — in the process, I cut the federal debt by $1.7 trillion in two years.” —Joe Biden

“I commit that we’ll never raise federal taxes on anybody making less than $400,000.” —Joe Biden

“We have dispelled those fears [of being overwhelmed] through a very thoughtful, comprehensive approach to irregular migration to our southern border.” —DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

Spin Doctor

“What is happening in terms of sending these migrants … across the country for the sake of some political showmanship, it’s just irresponsible. If you wanna deal with the problem, then do it if you are a leader by participating in the solution.” —Kamala Harris

“You look at what’s happening with these so-called leaders who are trying to say that ‘diversity’ and ‘equity’ and ‘inclusion’ is somehow a bad thing. Let us not let them get away with that. They’re trying to get rid of DEI programs.” —Kamala Harris

Hot Air

“Climate anxiety — [young people] are concerned about their future in almost a doomsday fear about what might be within a couple of decades of now. They’re concerned about whether they should have children, whether they should even try to buy a home, because what does the future hold for that prospect?” —Kamala Harris

“There’s no doubt that climate represents an existential challenge to all of us.” —Secretary of State Antony Blinken

Grand Delusions

“I think that whatever happens in the Hunter Biden case, we can rest assured that it was done based solely on the facts and the evidence and that there was nothing else to it.” —Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY)

“There is really zero evidence that Joe Biden can’t do this job.” —Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT)

“No one’s ever questioned the heart and integrity of Joe Biden as a family man and as a human being.” —former Jill Biden Press Secretary Michael LaRosa

Theater of the Absurd

“The Weaponization Committee … is, one, floating conspiracy theories that are not based in facts that are eroding Americans’ confidence in the American system, but also really continuing to put pressure on the Department of Justice as well as the FBI, which leaves them vulnerable.” —Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands)

NBC News Discovers Reality

“Inside the online world of people who think they can change their race.” —NBC News headline

For the Record

“When a leftist starts talking about diversity, what he’s really talking about is quotas and race-based promotion.” —Douglas Andrews

“It’s not an endorsement of slavery to point out that slaves looked for every crack in the system to try to improve themselves and gain some autonomy — rather, it’s an endorsement of the initiative and resilience of an oppressed people operating in the worst of circumstances.” —Rich Lowry
