NOTABLE QUOTABLES (May 16, 2024)

LIES LIKE A RUG

“We gotta be steady, stay the course, and continue to produce these incredible job[s]. And by the way, the pay for the jobs are outpacing the inflation rate.”  – Joe Biden

“Inflation has gone slightly up – it was at 9% when I came in.”  – Joe Biden

“The point here is we’re lowering costs.”  – Joe Biden

WE DESERVE WHAT WE VOTE FOR

“Sometimes they won’t, and then you need to kick that f–king door down.” – Vice President Kamala Harris at an event live-streamed on the White House Web site

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

“Pro-Palestinian protesters are backed by a surprising source: Biden’s biggest donors.” – Politico 

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW

“What happened to the Joe Biden who exhibited moral clarity toward Israel? Did he shuffle off the stage in search of ice cream?”  – Matthew Continetti

FOR THE RECORD

“Public engagement is not a university’s job. Taking an official position on issues of the day — whether it’s the Paris Climate Accord or Israel’s war on Hamas — incorrectly signals to students and faculty that there is only one right way to think.” – Betsy McCaughey

“The brutal reality is that, despite having access to more information than ever before in human history, we don’t share the same reality. And when the words of a terrorist organization are deemed unquestionably trustworthy not only by Palestinian activists but journalists, human rights organizations and the pro-facts president of the United States, how can we hope for change?” – Ian Haworth

“From claiming there was no border crisis to now repeatedly claiming he inherited 9% inflation Biden habitually lies to the country.”  – Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)

“Israel is on the verge of eliminating a global terrorist threat. That terrorist threat is holding American citizens hostages and is a threat to the United States around the world. But, to secure his reelection, Joe Biden would force Israel to pull its punches, preserve Hamas and allow a terror threat to continue. This is unacceptable.”  – Erick Erickson

“Hamas started this war. Every innocent life, every unnecessary death is on them. Plain and simple.” – Senator Tim Scott (R-SC)
