Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Barack Obama, Brad Hoylman-Sigal, The New York Times, Erick Erickson, and more.

Sexism Bait

“We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. Now, I also wanna say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. … Part of it makes me think — and I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.” —Barack Obama

Non Compos Mentis

“Let’s be clear. Allowing Trump to hold an event at [Madison Square Garden] is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939.” —New York State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal

Useful Idiot

“Hezbollah Leader’s Killing Upended Cease-Fire Plan.” —The New York Times

For the Record

“Rather than admitting their own role in igniting the Middle East, Biden and Harris now blame the victims of their own incendiary foreign policy. The final irony? Israel has concluded that Biden-Harris foolhardiness can be toxic — and endanger its very survival — and so will not agree to its own suicide.” —Victor Davis Hanson

Political Futures

“[Kamala Harris’s] loyalty to Biden is a mystery. What’s stopping her from going her own way? She wouldn’t split the party. She wouldn’t alienate swing voters. She wouldn’t hurt fundraising — her campaign has raised a billion dollars. These are the last weeks before Election Day. Harris is free to be herself. Maybe that’s the problem. Harris doesn’t just show loyalty when she defends Biden. She reveals intellectual bankruptcy.” —Matthew Continetti

“It is a terrible sign for her candidacy that [Harris] offers no straight answers on her quest for the presidency and no major Democrats want to barnstorm the nation with her.” —Erick Erickson

And Last…

“The incentives of contemporary politics are dangerously distorted. The more the government spends, the less Americans expect to pay. The more dependency it creates, the less self-reliance it expects.” —David Harsanyi
