For the Record

“Harris is not proudly boasting of her past efforts to open wide the southern border, to support defunding the police, or to call for reparations. Instead, she has renounced most of her prior radical agendas and embraced their antitheses. In eerie examples of projection, whatever particular unpopular policy is most associated with Biden-Harris, she claims Trump, out of office since January 2021, was responsible for the fiasco.” —Victor Davis Hanson

“Kamala’s only answer to any of Brett Bair’s questions was, ‘I hate Donald Trump.’ She has no answers about her awful record on the border, on the economy, or on crime. All of her talking points are only about Trump.” —Ted Cruz

Political Futures

“Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for their predicament. Throughout this interminable campaign season, they have studiously avoided substantive discussion of the four issues that Americans consistently tell pollsters are most important to them this cycle: the economy, inflation, immigration and crime.” —Josh Hammer

Border Insecurity

“Raise your hand if you think all convicted murderers, burglars, drug dealers, thieves, armed robbers, rapists, arsonists and weapons traffickers should be incarcerated. You’re in good company. Law-abiding people across the political spectrum agree with you. But not the Biden-Harris administration, including Alejandro Mayorkas, its previously impeached homeland security secretary. It has allowed over 95% of illegal aliens who have been convicted of serious crimes to roam the country freely.” —Hans von Spakovsky

Gaffes

“I stood up to veterans, and stood up for — excuse me. … [I] stood up for veterans and students being scammed by big, for-profit colleges.” —Kamala Harris

Women Matter

“LIFE is the most fundamental right, not the taking of life. You don’t have the right to assault or kill an innocent person, no matter their size or age or location. Our daughters don’t need the ‘right’ to kill our grandchildren. They need the right to live in a country that protects their safety and citizenship, which they will not have if Harris wins. They need the right to go to the bathroom and play on sports teams with only women, which they will not have if Harris wins.” —Allie Beth Stuckey

“Just because you put on dresses and makeup as a man doesn’t magically make you a woman.” —former Bachelorette star Josh Seiter

And Last

“The more people hear from Harris, the more concerned they tend to get. Indeed, Harris is a thermonuclear platitude dispenser. Few people in American history have expended so many words to say so little.” —David Harsanyi
