Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Jen Psaki, Hakeem Jeffries, Jaime Harrison, and more.

The BIG Lie

“No one supports abortion up until birth.” —former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki (“You worked for the man who does!” —Rebecca Downs | “46 Democrat Senators voted for it on Feb. 28, 2022.” —John Hasson)

Demagogue

“We’ve got diabolical intensity on the other side and we have to be prepared to match and exceed that diabolical intensity with righteous intensity.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

Belly Laughs of the Day

“This administration, which is probably one of the most successful since Lyndon Baines Johnson, has done so much to improve and put America back on track.” —DNC Chair Jaime Harrison

“President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been laser-focused on fighting for the issues that matter most to the American people. And by every measure, my friends, they have delivered.” —Jaime Harrison

Upright

“Today’s taxpayers are spending fortunes to stave off a global warming crisis decades in the future, with little certainty that those expenditures will ever deliver tangible benefit; and at the same time we are counting on current processes and funding to prevent — or when needed to mitigate — environmental and human catastrophes such as the Maui fire. That’s not working. Priorities matter, and ours need to change.” —Jack DeVine

“Our government has bet the house on fixing climate change, while treating nuclear energy — our most effective tool in combatting climate change — as an afterthought. It should be the centerpiece.” —Jack DeVine

Non Compos Mentis

“In a debate in which virtually every candidate was sounding the alarm on communist China, Fox News promoted an ad from TikTok about how it is helping elderly veterans. … Fox News should have had the integrity to reject the ad, but that would have required putting principle before profit. Will Fox News take ads from Planned Parenthood during the next debate?” —Gary Bauer

For the Record

“Mature democracies do not use trumped-up charges to imprison political opponents. But they do follow and apply the law regardless of political consequences. Only a methodical investigation of the Bidens can conclusively determine which side of that equation their activities fall.” —Henry Olsen

“There’s a middle ground of reality regarding January 6 that the most vehement partisans on both sides ignore. Most Americans don’t, and it’s evidently going to play a prominent role in the 2024 election.” —Nate Jackson

And Last…

“I swear, [Trump’s] campaign is like watching a high school class presidential election.” —Matt Margolis
