The Patriot Post® · Monday Short Cuts

The Gipper: “I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.” —Ronald Reagan

For the record: “It is not fair to accuse [Rep. Rashida Tlaib] of dual loyalty just because she defended terrorists and referred to ‘our Palestinian people.’ Let’s be clear about this: there is no evidence that she’s loyal to the United States at all.” —Matt Walsh

Oh the sarcasm: “I love that Trump is taking credit for a recovery that started under Obama.” —Sen. Cory Booker

Braying Jackass: “Ask people if the numbers that Donald Trump touts are really making a difference in their lives… Americans are struggling. Their wages are low, or decades low. For the last 4 decades, I don’t think they’ve budged that much.” —Cory Booker

Credit where it isn’t due: “We have had policies in place starting with President Obama that have aided [the economic] recovery.” —Sen. Amy Klobuchar (If Democrats don’t get the recession they want, they will divert to “Obama deserves credit.”)

Non sequitur: “A lot of people aren’t sharing in this prosperity because of the cost — the cost of college, the cost of health care, the fact that the president had promised he would bring down the prices of their prescription drugs and that just hasn’t happened.” —Amy Klobuchar, who supported ObamaCare, which significantly inflated the cost of health care

Braying Jenny: “This president isn’t trying to make America great. He’s trying to make America hate.” —Sen. Kamala Harris

Race bait: “We have Jim Crow sneaking back in.” —Joe Biden

Intraparty fighting: “Joe [Biden] voted for the war in Iraq. I led the effort against it… Joe voted for the deregulation of Wall Street, I voted against that… I don’t think there’s much question about who’s more progressive.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders

And last… “Stupid is like the plague inside the Beltway — one person catches it and next thing you know there’s an outbreak at MSNBC and the speaker of the House is showing symptoms while her delirious minions tote ceramic chickens around Capitol Hill.” —Andrew McCarthy
