The Patriot Post® · Monday Short Cuts

Lawfare, Continued…

“If we get the majority, then it’s committee hearings time. And we need to spend the next two years shutting down the White House because we subpoena every single person in it every single day.” —Senate candidate Graham Platner (D-ME)

Godwin’s Law

“They came back and hit [a Venezuelan cartel boat] again — a double tap — just purely to kill these survivors who were clinging to wreckage. … Back in World War II, the Allies tried Nazi submarine captains for doing this exact same thing. And guess what the conclusion was? They got executed.” —Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA)

Race Bait

“With this decision in Louisiana v. Callais, the Supreme Court has opened the door to a coordinated attack on Black voters across this country.” —Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette Clarke

“Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act was one of the last remaining federal protections for Black and brown voters against maps deliberately drawn to dilute their political power. That protection has been stripped away.” —Kamala Harris

“I have to tell my children that they have less civil rights than I did when I was born.” —"The View" cohost Sunny Hostin

Reality Check

“The same racism that led Democrats to believe Black Americans need affirmative action to get ahead led them to believe Black Americans need racially discriminatory congressional districts to get elected. … The Callais decision is common sense and ends racial discrimination. That it hurts Democrats shows how that party has preserved itself through racial politics and how, as times change, that party will be profoundly altered.” —Erick Erickson

“Americans have been frustrated over quotas for corporate boards and other positions. This racial gerrymandering is worse than that. It’s racial set-asides for seats in Congress. That is obviously a violation of the Constitution and every principle the American people believe in.” —Gary Bauer

“There’s no evidence the current SCOTUS is partisan; there’s a lot of evidence one political party is aggressively trying to advance unconstitutional policies.” —Mark Hemingway

For the Record

“Not a single person crying about how the Supreme Court has made it impossible for black people to get elected supported Winsom Sears over the affluent white lady. Not one.” —Kurt Schlichter

With Friends Like These…

“These days Tucker Carlson has a big fanbase amongst the anti-war Left, who see him as saying the right stuff … and amongst a lot of Muslims and Arab-Americans who see him now as this great champion of Palestine. … People ask me more about Tucker Carlson, even in my own family, than they ask me about my wife and kids.” —former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan

And Last…

“Prime Minister Keir Starmer is overcome with white guilt. I’m sorry he feels that way — but that’s NOT a good enough reason for him to hand over our shared military base on Diego Garcia to President Xi’s BFF.” —Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)
