Biden: "Germany, 1933, Hitler & his Nazi Party rise to power by rekindling one of the world's oldest forms of prejudice & hate- antisemitism. His rule didn't begin with mass murder. It started slowly across economic, political, social, & cultural life. Propaganda demonizing Jews"
Biden: "That hatred was brought to life on October 7, 2023 ... the terrorist group Hamas unleashed the deadliest day against the Jewish people since the Holocaust ... now, here we are, just 7.5 months later, and people are already forgetting that Hamas unleashed this terror."
Biden, speaking at a Holocaust remembrance event, is forcefully denouncing Hamas and antisemitism on college campuses and social media

"It was largely upbeat" -- VP contender Doug Burgum downplays Trump's remarks comparing the Biden administration to the Gestapo
TAPPER: If Trump becomes a convicted felon, will that affect your support for him?

BURGUM: Well if he becomes a convicted felon in this case, that's just a travesty of justice

TAPPER: It was a little bit more than just checking the wrong box on a form
TAPPER: Does that offend you more than Trump telling a room full of wealthy people that he's gonna cut their taxes? Isn't that buying votes?

BURGUM: I just reject the whole premise of "wealthy donors." The room of people there are all job creators

TAPPER: They're not wealthy?

"These people are destroying our country" -- Trump this morning on the unemployment rate ticking up to 3.9 percent from 3.8 percent (it was 6.3 percent when he left office so, yeah)
Trump complains that he can't go to Ohio tomorrow and Florida on Sunday because of his trial. The only problem is that there is no trial on Saturday or Sunday lol.
Trump: "Read Greg Jarrett. Read Andrew McCarthy. Read Mark Levin, who's been so great. Read all of them. It's incredible. Dershowitz came out w/a very strong article. Jon Turley who's been very powerful just came out w/another article. I don't know these people for the most part"

KAITLAN COLLINS: So you agree that people who break in and vandalize a building should be prosecuted?

JD VANCE: Yes

COLLINS: Ok, I'm just checking, because you helped raise money for people who did so on January 6
JD VANCE: I did not read the president's attorneys as saying the president could order a coup

KAITLAN COLLINS: He said it would depend on the circumstances. What circumstances warrant it?

VANCE: He's just saying that would count as an official act.
KAITLAN COLLINS: You're basically saying that if the president orders a military coup, you believe the only remediation for that is impeachment?

JD VANCE: You're dealing with hypotheticals here
