The remark was made [during a press conference](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luLpdr4n8m4) in 1998 in which Clinton denied his involvement with Monica Lewinsky.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

During an interview with Good Morning America in 2010, the former New York Mayor who's term did in fact fall before, during, and after September 11th, 2001 [dealt out this unbelievable line.](https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna34779020)

During a congressional hearing in May 2024, Rep. Jasmine Crockett fired off this [witty comeback](https://www.latimes.com/politics/newsletter/2024-05-21/beach-blonde-bad-built-butch-body-brilliance-politics) and rightfully gave Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene a taste of what alliteration means.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Back in 2020, Bernie Sanders gave us plenty of meme-able moments, including the ["I am once again asking..."](https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1286789081750474754) line that was meme'd over and over again.

After a 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer, Al Gore was on the receiving end of endless ridicule and jokes for decades after letting [this slip-up leave his mouth.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnFJ8cHAlco)

&ldquo;During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.&rdquo;

Back in 2023 when Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis were feuding, Trump released a campaign video to his followers [featuring this quote](https://x.com/TeamTrump/status/1657042619430588417?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1657042619430588417%7Ctwgr%5E8ecf76a039396cc07862d2142ff7617e51492557%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fradaronline.com%2Fp%2Fpersonality-transplant-donald-trump-fresh-attack-rival-ron-desantis%2F) and further fueling their feud.

Richard Nixon

During a congressional hearing, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) [said this to](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5dkqUy7mUk) express his concern for why an influx of American soldiers could harm the island of Guam... He later said he was joking.

Rep. Hank Johnson

''My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.''
