The Patriot Post® · Tuesday Short Cuts

The BIG Lie I

“[Trump] suggested rifles should be trained on former Representative Liz Cheney.” —Kamala Harris

“This violent rhetoric that Donald Trump has been using, including when he referred to Liz Cheney just a couple of days ago saying that maybe they should line her up and shoot some barrels at her.” —CNN’s Alayna Treene

The BIG Lie II

“Women are turned away from emergency rooms and miscarriageing in parking lots, whether they like it or not. … Fertility clinics have turned couples away at the door, whether they like it or not.” —Tim Walz

“With women’s reproductive healthcare and freedoms hanging in the balance … the stakes literally are life and death for every woman in America. It’s not hyperbole. It’s not an exaggeration.” —MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace

“If we don’t show up [today], it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.” —Oprah Winfrey

“Tone Down the Rhetoric”

“If you’re voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump, and you’re anti-women, you’re anti-abortion, and basically, you’re anti-American.” —New York Governor Kathy Hochul

Lack of Self-Awareness Award

“The core principle: adhering to the Constitution, the rule of law, getting away from the name-calling and the division.” —Tim Walz

Double Standards

“When I say, ‘We will support a free and fair election,’ no, we we’re not going to allow them to steal it in the states or steal it at the Department of Justice or steal it with any other election official in the country. If it’s a free and fair election, we will do what we’ve always done: We will honor it.” —Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD)

Letting the Cat Out of the Bag

“I don’t think it’s right to say that people have to vote for Donald Trump because the economy was better then.” —Bill Clinton

Soft on Crime

“I am not gonna talk about the vote on [Proposition 36] because, honestly, it’s the Sunday before the election, and I don’t intend to create an endorsement one way or another around it.” —former California Attorney General Kamala Harris

Baghdad Bob

“It’s really important that you have a president that cares about clarifying what they said.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

Non Compos Mentis

“I’m serious: [Republicans] are the kind of guys you’d like to smack in the ass.” —Joe Biden

For the Record

“What [Kamala Harris] wants to turn the page from is four years that were supposed to be all about unity in the first place. … She promised as vice president to work ‘to unite our country and heal the soul of our nation.’ It turned out so well that she now says the nation continues to be just as desperately in need of her unifying ministrations. Maybe the definition of insanity should be repeatedly voting for unity and expecting different results.” —Rich Lowry

“The vice president’s idea of finding consensus is jettisoning her most radioactive positions from 2019 and 2020 and embracing everything Biden has done. This moves her closer to the center, but the problem is that Biden has had his greatest success uniting the public against his presidency.” —Rich Lowry

“If Trump Wins: Millions of college degree holders will suffer debilitating mental breakdowns. We’ll witness a collective tantrum the likes of which the world has never known.” —Andrew Stiles

Upright

“Our country took a wrong turn four years ago and now we’re stuck in a malaise. Everything is bad news: Our border is broken; we’re not respected in the world; hardworking men and women have been forgotten and left behind; our allies don’t trust us and our enemies don’t fear us. We are tired of living in a country that is no longer dreaming big, but that is going to change [today].” —Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)

“If you’re struggling … with the price of groceries, you’re not garbage. If you’re pissed off about Kamala Harris’s open border, you’re not a bad person. And I, for one, am sick of having an American leadership that attacks the citizens of this country rather than solving this country’s problems.” —JD Vance

“Here’s my message to Kamala Harris: We are not garbage for thinking that you’ve done a bad job. But [today], we’re going to take out the trash in Washington, DC.” —JD Vance

“My message to Americans tonight is simple: We do not have to live this way. We do not have to settle for weakness, incompetence, decline, and decay.” —Donald Trump
