Circling the Wagons

“I don’t think the president is corrupt. I think the investigation will show that.” —Congressman Dean Phillips (D-MN)

“There’s been no evidence to show that [Joe Biden has] been involved in anything. And so Hunter Biden will be treated by the Department of Justice as he should be, but Congress needs to stop investigating a private citizen and stop this fishing expedition to try to link President Biden to Hunter Biden’s conduct when there is no evidence to support that.” —Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY)

Dumb & Dumber

“[Joe Biden] clearly is doing his job. Look at what he’s done to the economy. Look at what he’s done for legislation.” —Al Sharpton

“Don’t underestimate that when [Republicans are] using this President Harris thing, they’re not only talking about the president’s health, they’re talking about her gender and her race. They’re playing the race card. ‘You can’t let this black woman in as president.’” —Al Sharpton

Veep Thoughts

“There are many things that I am proud of that we have done that have been, I think, in many ways — and I say this humbly — that have been transformational for our country.” —Kamala Harris

“One of the things I wake up thinking about is not only what an erosion of democracy will mean for the American people, [but] what it will mean invariably for people around the world.” —Kamala Harris

Hot Air

“There are whole states … where you can’t even use the words ‘climate change’ because they still have a head-in-the-sand attitude.” —Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI)

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“Does it seem somewhat strange that Garland appointed the guy who approved the sweetheart deal with Hunter Biden to now be the special counsel for Hunter Biden?” —Byron York

“This action by Biden’s DOJ cannot be used to obstruct congressional investigations or whitewash the Biden family corruption. If Weiss negotiated the sweetheart deal that couldn’t get approved, how can he be trusted as a Special Counsel?” —House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
