NOTABLE QUOTABLES (January 9, 2025)

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN SMOKING?

“The simple fact is: This country has suffered more deadly terrorism at the hands of American-born citizens who are veterans of the United States military than people who have crossed into this country at the southern border. It is very clear from the evidence that if you want to worry about terrorism in this country, the United States Army is a much bigger problem than the southern border.” – MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell

“We did a lot of good things but … we really didn’t show [enough] empathy and concern … to average working families who didn’t realize how much we had done and how much we care for them.” – Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer

“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

AIN’T IT THE TRUTH?

“In politics, I predict that Donald Trump will take office January 20th, and day one he will reduce corruption in government 80% by not being Joe Biden.” – Andrew Klavan

FACE... PLANT

“So, Zuckerberg – the CEO of Facebook and Meta – admits that right-wing censorship exists on his platform, and some of you STILL deny it? If you won’t believe it straight from the CEO, there’s no helping you.” – Riley Gaines

“The media, having lost the trust of the public, formed ‘fact-checkers’ to act as gatekeepers of information. The fact-checkers were not fact-checkers but ideological enforcers. They once bullied Facebook into embracing them. Now that Facebook is done with them, they are enraged that they can no longer serve as gatekeepers.” – Erick Erickson

“In no way should Zuckerberg be applauded for claiming to stop some of his draconian censorship that has nearly destroyed free speech in America. There need to be sincere apologies, massive restitution, transparency in the removal of filters that advantage left-wing press, etc.” – Mollie Hemingway

NOW, THAT’S FUNNY!

“Looking forward to Biden giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom (posthumously) to Pol Pot and Count Dracula.” – JD Vance

FOR THE RECORD

“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

“The iterations of Islam that prompt the murder of Westerners and seek to destroy our civilization are unacceptable. … It doesn’t make you intolerant to have no tolerance for those who wish to murder you.” – Victor Joecks
