Double Standards

“Listen, these are the facts: [Trump] is a threat. Period. Point blank.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot. Sorry. Probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later.” —Kamala Harris (“In 2020, Harris said Stand Your Ground laws were racist.” —The Daily Wire)

Gaslighting

“I believe [it’s] important for the country to recognize this progress, because if we don’t, the progress we made will remain locked in the fear of negative mindset and dominate our economic outlook.” —Joe Biden

Word Salad

“In terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American Dream is, for this generation and so many recently, far more elusive than it’s been, and we need to deal with that.” —Kamala Harris

Political Futures

“Ironically, it’s because the contemporary left’s position on abortion is so morally unfathomable that the media can gaslight voters. … On abortion, there is only one extremist on the ballot.” —David Harsanyi

“Harris thinks her delays, deceptions, and vilifications for the next 47 days will ensure her victory. But if so, it will be because she, her stealth campaign, and her self-proclaimed guardians of democracy have been willing to systematically destroy it.” —Victor Davis Hanson

For the Record

“All sides are not equally culpable for the terrible situation America finds itself in today. … The Left has had a violent streak going back at least as far as Karl Marx’s calls for a global revolution of the proletariat — and the French Revolution even before that. And in today’s post-truth world, an expedient narrative often trumps cold facts.” —Josh Hammer

“Being a progressive means you can lie with impunity and the media will declare you a truth-teller.” —Erick Erickson
