The Patriot Post® · Thursday Short Cuts

Spin Doctor

“We’re talking about a love-torn child. A kid. This is probably his first real relationship, and someone was disparaging the person that he loved.” —Montel Williams on CNN

Authoritarianism

“You are an Islamophobe, and although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you do not welcome here.” —Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud responding to a resident who objected to naming a street after Osama Siblani, who praises Hezbollah

Leftist Babble

“Politicizing the murder of Charlie King [sic] to go after free speech is not the legacy I think Charlie King [sic] would have wanted.” —Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) (Maybe he confused Charlie Kirk with Martin Luther King.)

If the Shoe Fits

“I am combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you. And we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in Russiagate, January 6th, you are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate. You’re a disgrace to this institution, and an utter coward.” —FBI Director Kash Patel to Demo Sen. Adam Schiff in congressional testimony

The BIG lie

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” —Jimmy Kimmel, who’s been indefinitely suspended by ABC for his disgraceful and ugly lie

Shot/Chaser

“You are requiring applicants to be able to do a certain kind of pull-ups, which a lot of women cannot because of physiological differences.” —Senator Mazie Hirono admitting biological differences between men and women

“If you wanna chase down a bad guy and put him in handcuffs, you better be able to do a pull-up.” —FBI Director Kash Patel

The Soft Racism of Low Expectations

“Affirmative action assumes that black people need extra points in order to achieve the same result as a person who is not black. And what that does is seed doubt in the minds of people, who then see black people in particular slots, and that’s unfair to black people.” —Ben Shapiro

For the Record

“Put bluntly, a Republican standing on Charlie Kirk’s grave to promote hate speech laws is about as offensive — and constitutionally illiterate — as it gets.” —Ian Haworth

“We can no longer tolerate the abject and blatant violations of our Constitution, as we saw with Biden’s open borders policy.” —Allen West

And Last

“Anyone dumb enough to believe ‘speech is violence’ did not get spanked by their parents” —Jimmy Failla
