Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, Tom Cotton, Ben Shapiro, and more.

The BIG Lie

“As you know, [Donald Trump] called out to these people to continue their violence, my husband being a victim of all of that.” —Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi

Misinformation

“On this day, four years ago, police officers were brutally assaulted while bravely defending the United States Capitol. They were punched, tackled, tased, and attacked with chemical agents that burned their eyes and skin. Today, I am thinking of the officers who still bear the scars of that day as well as the loved ones of the five officers who lost their lives in the line of duty as a result of what happened to them on January 6, 2021.” —Attorney General Merrick Garland (Fact-check: ZERO police officers died in the line of duty that day.)

Demagogue

“Trump pardoning the insurrectionists who attacked our Capitol four years ago would be a betrayal of the American people. Many of the rioters were convicted of assaulting police and other serious crimes — including by Trump-appointed judges. They must be held accountable.” —Senator Elizabeth Warren

Non Compos Mentis

“You don’t move on, because January 6th was an atrocity. It was one of the worst moments in American history. And when you think about the worst moments in American history, like World War II … the Holocaust, chattel slavery — we need to never forget.” —"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“Is there a single person in DC or media acting as if Literal Adolf Hitler is about to assume power in 2 weeks in order to end American democracy, install fascism, and create a white supremacist dictatorship? Is it possible those who said this for years never believed it?” —Glenn Greenwald

For the Record

“Garland’s Department of Justice filed charges against nearly 1,600 people in connection with the events of January 6, 2021. Not a single charge of murder of a federal officer, nor conspiracy or attempt to murder a federal officer, was alleged by DOJ.” —Andrew McCarthy

“It should be noted that [yesterday’s] proceeding was the first time no Democrat objected to the certification of a Republican president since the certification of George H.W. Bush in 1989.” —Byron York

Political Futures

“I think Trump deserves his Cabinet. I’d vote for his Cabinet. They all deserve a chance. They are non-traditional — and to be honest, the election results prove the American people want a non-traditional shakeup.” —Scott Jennings

“By banning a large portion of offshore drilling, Joe Biden is enriching our adversaries and making America more dependent on foreign energy. His failed presidency can’t end soon enough.” —Senator Tom Cotton

“Justin Trudeau officially resigned! Strong leadership in US filters out weak leaders around the world. I can only imagine what’ll happen after January 20th.” —Patrick Bet-David

“It’s not as though the cover-up of the radical Muslim rape gangs in Britain was a mystery. Journalists openly admitted to knowing about it for years, and failing to report it because they were afraid it might help the British National Party and English Defence League.” —Ben Shapiro
