Notable Quotes “Say What?!”

If you’re mildly left-wing on Twitter, you’re suddenly Trotsky, right? If you’re mildly conservative, you’re Hitler, and if you’re centrist and you look at both arguments, you’re a coward.”

Ricky Gervais, Creator of The Office

“It was no disrespect to the list that was handed down to all the players, I commend anyone that decides to put something on the back of their jersey. It’s just something that didn’t seriously resonate with my mission, with my goal.”

LeBron James on why he won’t wear a social justice message on his jersey

“Keep silent or we will get in trouble and we’ll be disappeared.”

Chinese virologist Dr. Li-Meng Yan who defected to the USA on what she was told when she raised concerns about COVID19 in 2009

Welcome to Year One—All Prior History Is Cancelled “ In the past few months, there have been dozens of the so-called ‘accidents’ that the Iranians claim are happening… That is no longer a credible claim, considering the large number of them… There are two countries that have the capacity to do this : the United States and Israel… This is a covert espionage campaign that is probably being carried out by the Israelis, with the help of informants inside Iran and others who are part of the resistance movement inside Iran.”

Jack Keane, Retired General of the United States Army and strategic analyst for Fox News

“We are truly blessed, at the same time, to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder.” Bob Unanue, President of Goya Foods in remarks at the White House

Well, as a long-time supporter of Republican candidates, Unanue has had no problem shunning his grandfather’s Puerto Rican migrant roots by playing up his family’s Spanish and European ones — as though the quest for white acceptance is something noble to achieve in these times. Goya sells ultra-cheap foodstuffs often filled with sodium and other preservatives, telling us, in effect, that our “heritage” is chemicalized and dangerous, when little is further from the truth. The unhealthiness of sodium and preservative-filled foods (which are cheaper to manufacture, package, transport and sell in mass quantities without losing any to spoilage than foods without those ingredients) is part of what leads many to say that Latino cuisine — and thus Latinos — are inherently unhealthy.

Response by NBC NEWS to Unanue’s daring act of praising President Donald Trump as he has previously done for President Barack Obama

“Mr. Vice President, you want to talk about issues, but a lot of people want to talk about your gaffes,” he said. “You have called yourself a gaffe machine.... In the past you’ve confused New Hampshire for Vermont, said Bobby Kennedy and MLK were assassinated in the late ’70s, assured us, ‘I’m not going nuts.’ Follow up question: Are you going nuts?”

Stephen Colbert interviewing Joe Biden

“On the one hand, she’s already paid a steep price. That’s not enough of a deterrent to others? Bringing her more misery just seems like piling on. So if the DA feels the need to pursue charges, he should pursue charges. But he can do that without me.”

Christian Cooper explaining why he will not help prosecutors charge Amy Cooper, a white woman, who called the cops on him

“Republicans have two prongs to their strategy to try and win. The first one is to prevent as many people who think they won’t vote for them from voting. So you know, make the lines really long where young people vote, or African-Americans vote or Hispanics vote. Try to make vote-by-mail as difficult as possible, claim it’s fraudulent when indeed it’s not, in fact, that is how Donald Trump votes and everybody who knows about vote-by-mail understands that.”

2016 Election loser, Hillary Clinton, on Republicans’ election strategy

“Well, I think it is a fair point to raise as to whether or not, if he loses, he’s going to go quietly or not. And we have to be ready for that. But there have been so many academic studies and other analyses, which point out that it’s just an inaccurate, fraudulent claim.”

Hillary Clinton on what will happen if President Trump loses

“Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren’t paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent and so they go out, and they need to feed their child and they don’t have money, so they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry.”

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez giving her opinion as to why the murder rate in New York has recently doubled

“I’d love for baseball to be one other few things in our culture these days that avoids politics, because it seems like everything else has been affected by it. We have managed, somehow, as Americans to separate ourselves pretty far politically from the ends of our political spectrum, which I don’t think is good for anybody.”

Ron “Rocky” Swoboda, best known for his ninth-inning diving catch to help preserve the New York Mets’ 1969 World Series Game 4 victory

“Joe Biden’s entire career has been a gift to the Chinese Communist Party, Joe Biden and President Obama freely allowed China to pillage our factories, plunder our communities, and steal our most precious secrets.”

President Donald Trump at press conference in the White House Rose Garden

“But the lessons that ought to have followed the election— lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned, instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.”

New York Times opinion columnist, Bari Weiss, in her scathing resignation letter to the New York Times

“They have called me a Nazi and a racist, I have learned to brush off comments about how I’m ‘writing about the Jews again.’ Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in.”

Ibid.

“I certainly can’t square how you and other Times leaders have stood by while simultaneously praising me in private for my courage. Showing up for work as a centrist at an American newspaper should not require bravery. Part of me wishes I could say that my experience was unique. But the truth is that intellectual curiosity - let alone risk-taking - is now a liability at The Times.”

Ibid.

“NY state has lost more than 32,000 lives to COVID-19. So while it’s great that the numbers have gone down, it’s perplexing to see crowing, Cuomo going on Fallon, etc. No other state has lost as many lives, not even close. New Jersey is next with 17,000+. Yes, this has been a major challenge for every leader, but New York’s leaders do not have a success story to tell. It’s been about missteps and late actions.”

CNN anchor Jake Tapper in a Tweet about Governor Cuomo for touting NY’s COVID response
