Notable quotables from Karine Jean-Pierre, Scott Bessent, JD Vance, Andrew Cuomo, and more.
Intraparty Squabbles
“It was a firing squad and I had never seen anything like it before.” —former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre describing what Democrats did to Joe Biden
The BIG Lie I
“We kept this place running and we saved lives and we led the nation.” —New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo, whose horrendous COVID policies as governor literally got nursing home patients killed
The BIG Lie II
“Trump’s abandonment of Ukraine and affection for Russia is part of the bigger story. Trump is trying to end the rule of law in America so that the billionaire ruling class can get away with stealing from us.” —Senator Chris Murphy
For the Record
“I’m glad Vance called Zelensky out. Apparently, he’s willing to let this war go on forever and destroy his country.” —Gary Bauer
“This is one of the biggest own goals in diplomatic history.” —Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on President Zelensky’s Oval Office opprobrium
“The bitter irony of America’s present predicament is that the very people who cheer for permanent arms shipments to Ukraine also supported the de-industrialization of America. The very things you want us to send are things we don’t make enough of.” —Vice President JD Vance
Inquiring Minds Want to Know
“We didn’t provide aid to Nazi Germany during World War II. The idea is preposterous. Why should Israel be forced to provide aid to Hamas-run Gaza?” —Senator Tom Cotton
Setting the Record Straight
“An unencumbered Obama would have been the most significant leftist in U.S. history. It’s always laughable when Democrats contend that Obama was a ‘moderate.’ [Mitch] McConnell forced him to moderate.” —David Harsanyi
Sarcasm Alert
“Doesn’t [Jeff] Bezos know that it’s his role to fund journalism that he disagrees with, and may even find harmful to America?” —Rich Lowry
And Last
“It will take years to stop the bloodshed by violent offenders who flooded into the U.S. during the Biden/Harris years.” —Mark Alexander
