Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Sunny Hostin, Joy Reid, JD Vance, Erick Erickson, and more.

Pearl-Clutching

“It angers me when people are like, ‘This woke stuff’s gotta go.’ That’s telling me that you don’t care about my lived experience; you don’t care about the oppression of the LGBTQ community; you don’t care about the oppression of the disabled; you don’t care about the oppression of immigrants; you don’t care about your fellow neighbor — and that is un-Godly. That is not Christian.” —"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin

Cant Fix Stupid

“When you are in the midst of a crisis and specifically a crisis of democracy, how do you resist when fascism isn’t just coming, it’s already here?” —ousted MSNBC host Joy Reid

World’s Smallest Violin

“MSNBC producers and other staffers are being put in limbo, Rachel Maddow said last night, and ‘the anxiety and the discombobulation is off the charts at a time when this job already is extra stressful and difficult.’” —Brian Stelter

Stranger Than Fiction

“A man accused of cannibalism and hacking someone to death with an axe has been granted conditional release. This is third-world stuff. It’s the harmful effects of a justice system that ignores retribution.” —Michael Knowles

Upright

“I’ve always believed in God, but I never fully grasped the reality of the devil. … Learning just how far some will go to inflict atrocities on innocent Americans has shocked me awake.” —former RFK Jr. running mate Nicole Shanahan sharing the story of her conversion to Christianity

For the Record

“So much of American diplomacy has become pure performance — an obsession with saying this or that. The reason the failed establishment hates President Donald J. Trump is because he chooses his words carefully and, more importantly, is much more focused on doing.” —JD Vance

“The presupposition to understanding all of Trump’s foreign policy is that China is the ultimate threat.” —Erick Erickson

Swamp Dwellers

“I guarantee you it goes from the American taxpayers’ back pocket to the back pocket of politicians in Washington, DC. And if it’s either party, I don’t care; they need to be exposed, and they need to be out of office.” —Congressman Tim Burchett

“All this administration is asking — President Trump is asking — is for federal workers who live off of the American taxpayers’ dime to send five bullet points of what they have done in the previous week.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

“Few Americans who’ve lost jobs or endured the cruel consequences of administrative state actions have any sympathy whatsoever for a bureaucrat who’s a little miffed at having to respond to an email. Reporting to superiors is a regular part of doing business out here in the ‘real’ world. Welcome to the club.” —Nate Jackson

And Last

“Democrats are raising an alarm about what they call a ‘constitutional crisis.’ If there is one, they should know because they are to blame for it.” —Cal Thomas
