Friday Short Cuts

“I think the $33 trillion price tag for Medicare for All is a little scary.” —Democrat Rep. Cheri Bustos

Nailed it: “If you like the DMV, you’ll love Medicare for All.” —Rep. Andy Harris

Friendly fire: “The transition from what we have now to Medicare for All, it’s just hard to conceive how that would work. You have so many jobs attached to the health care industry. I think the $33 trillion price tag for Medicare for All is a little scary.” —Democrat Rep. Cheri Bustos

Braying Jenny: “Let’s keep speaking out until every single infant is out of detention in Texas and elsewhere. This cannot be who we are as a country.” —Kamala Harris, who just voted against a bill prohibiting infanticide

Obama’s fundamental transformation continued: “We are not only going to defeat Trump, we are going to transform the United States of America.” —Bernie Sanders


For the record:


Friendly fire II: “No one is questioning the right of members of Congress and others to criticize Israeli policies. But Omar is crossing a line that should not be crossed in political discourse. Her remarks are not anti-Israel; they are anti-Semitic.” —Rahm Emanuel

Holier than thou: “There are three things in life that are certain: death, taxes (unless you’re Donald Trump), and persistence of anti-Semitism. But only one brand of antisemitism scares me — and it’s not on the left.” —Paul Krugman

Race bait: “Hard to watch Rep. [Steve] Scalise demand that Rep. [Ilhan Omar] be removed from House Foreign Affairs w/o wondering if it’s steeped in Islamophobia. Ilhan is more than capable of sitting on the committee & making decisions that are in the best interests of her constituents & all Americans.” —Rashida Tlaib

Braying Jackass: “There are people who tell me, ‘Well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.’ ‘My parents did this.’ It’s more personal with [Omar]. I’ve talked to her, and I can tell you she is living through a lot of pain.” —James Clyburn

Non Compos Mentis: “Like some of my colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus, I am concerned that the spotlight being put on Congresswoman Omar may put her at risk.” —Kamala Harris



And last… “Even if [Omar] isn’t embarrassed by her anti-Semitism, she should be embarrassed about how she’s being coddled. ‘She just didn’t know.’ ‘She’s from a different culture!’ ‘She needs education.’ So, basically, it’s not that she’s an anti-Semite, she’s just an idiot. Gotcha.” —Allie Beth Stuckey
