Tuesday Short Cuts

Read more notable quoteables from Al Green, Kyrsten Sinema, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, and more.

Braying Jackass: “I’m concerned if we don’t impeach this president, he will get reelected. If we don’t impeach him, he will say he’s been vindicated. He will say the Democrats had an overwhelming majority in the House and didn’t take up impeachment. … He will say he’s been vindicated.” —Rep. Al Green

Braying Jenny: “I don’t want to see any of those flag pins anymore on Republicans who don’t stand up against [Trump] for Russian meddling and other things that he’s done. It seems as though he’s unpatriotic.” —"The View" co-host Joy Behar

Non compos mentis: “How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends? The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable. Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar defending Hamas and Islamic Jihad’s latest rocket torrent (“Despite Omar’s claims, not a single Jew or Israeli lives in Gaza. It is under complete control of Hamas. It is not ‘occupied’ territory.” —Katie Pavlich)

Friendly fire: “I condemn the rocket attacks on innocent civilians and stand in support of Israel and peace.” —leftist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema

Vengeance: “[Brett Kavanaugh] didn’t have any problem making us put up with three years of Vince Foster nonsense that was a total charade.” —Bill Clinton, who believes the witch hunt against Kavanaugh was fair play

You’ve been warned: “First thing I’d do is repeal those Trump tax cuts.” —Joe Biden

Non sequitur: “[The NRA et al.] hate me because they know I’m not the bogeyman they want. … I do shoot guns. I think that they want the person who is proposing tougher gun laws to be someone who’s never handled a gun before, that isn’t connected to law enforcement. When I was a prosecutor I got to shoot at the range so I could explain to juries how the firearm worked. … So I feel comfortable around guns, and I think that makes them nervous.” —Rep. Eric Swalwell

The BIG Lie: “[Gun licensing] is not a plan that any law-abiding gun owner should be concerned about it.” —Sen. Cory Booker (On the contrary, it’s a plan that every constitutionally minded American should be concerned about.)

And last… “Is Booker’s idea to license gun owners anymore constitutional than requiring a license for speech? … No one seems to take the problem seriously. There are 400 millions guns out there. If someone wants a gun, they’re going to get one. Licensing, background checks, microstamping new guns won’t even have a nominal effect on criminals.” —Frank J. Fleming
