The Patriot Post® · Wednesday Short Cuts

For the record: “I think the Democrats are as much to blame right now as the Republicans are. They’ve got control of the House but they’re mostly [acting like], ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re not going to do what you want to do.’ I haven’t seen a grand plan. You’ve got the young people running through the halls who are the new members of Congress who are conducting pep rallies every day instead of getting together with the more moderate people. … They’re being driven hard by the Left.” —Tom Brokaw

Demo-gogues: “It was the President who singled-handedly took away DACA and TPS protections in the first place — offering some protections back in exchange for the wall is not a compromise but more hostage taking.” —Chuck Schumer

Race bait I: “There’s still a systematic racism. … Your health shouldn’t depend on the color of your skin or your zip code, but it does.” —Joe Biden, who once called ObamaCare “a big f—kin’ deal”

Race bait II: “These are challenging times in the United States of America. We have a hater in the White House, a birther in chief, the grand wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. One of the things that we’ve learned is that while Jim Crow may be dead, he still got some nieces and nephews that are alive and well.” —Rep. Hakeem Jeffries

Non Compos Mentis: “Never in the history of this country has it been legal to make people work for free but that’s what’s happening to federal employees.” —Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT), who soon apologized for forgetting a minor thing called slavery

Braying Jenny: “I do think a system that allows billionaires to exist when there are parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have access to public health is wrong.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

And last… “The Left hasn’t gone to the trouble of painting Christian schools as dangerous hate factories for no reason. They intend to do something with the fruits of their labor. What that is, exactly, will become clearer very soon.” —Matt Walsh
