The Patriot Post® · Tuesday Short Cuts

Upright: “We can come to the aid of innocent, voiceless, defenseless little babies who’ve just taken their first breaths by protecting him and her from mistreatment and neglect. This should be frankly the easiest vote we ever cast in this body.” —Ben Sasse on his defeated Senate measure to protect infants born alive after attempted abortions

Braying Jenny: “On a more serious note, to put it mildly, [this] is why Hitler was actually elected, and he was elected and he campaigned against abortion. I mean, that was — he padlocked the family planning clinics. Okay, so that is still relevant in the terms of the right wing.” —Gloria Steinem (Hitler was a National SOCIALIST. And he used abortion and sterilization to contain certain elements of the population. None of that is remotely similar to the American pro-life movement.)

Family squabble: “You can see why [Hillary Clinton is] one of the most disliked politicians in America. She’s not nice. Her people are not nice. [Bernie Sanders] busted his tail to fly all over the country to talk about why it made sense to elect Hillary Clinton and the thanks that [we] get is this kind of petty stupid sniping a couple years after the fact. … It doesn’t make me feel good to feel this way but they’re some of the biggest a—holes in American politics.” —Michael Briggs, spokesman for Sanders’s campaign, on reported leaks from Clinton’s team on Sanders’s posh private-jet arrangements in recent years

Alpha Jackass: “Why would we be surprised that a self-proclaimed nationalist would not speak out against a self-proclaimed white nationalist? … And these are [Trump’s] people, alright? And he’s not going to stop them and thank law enforcement. He’s probably not happy about what law enforcement did.” —former RNC Chairman Michael Steele on the arrest of domestic terrorist Christopher Paul Hasson

And last… “A new study finds that Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal would cost $93 TRILLION — or $600K per household. You’d need a 100% tax rate on every household earning $30K or more to get enough revenue. Remember: Every top 2020 Dem supports this socialist plan.” —GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel
