Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from AOC, Ilhan Omar, Kirsten Gillibrand, Beto O’Rourke, and more.

Hyper hypocrisy: “They try to oppose all progress in this country … by pitting communities against one another that have never and have no business being pitted against one another. This is just the template. They try to import that division.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blaming Republicans for Democrats’ stock-in-trade

Braying Jenny: “The Republicans are really good at misinformation and sort of really reorganizing facts to sort of paint a picture that really eventually is not rooted in fact. … They use it as a tool to stir up hate and division. And ignorance really is pervasive in many parts of … this country.” —Ilhan Omar

What could possibly go wrong? “It’s time for Washington, DC to have statehood and equal representation in Congress, and we should only need a simple majority to make it happen.” —Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (“The question that comes to my mind when I hear D.C. wants to become a state: how many of the people who live in the District work for Congress or some form of the federal government? How many of them are members of Congress themselves? Are we going to create a new state so a new member of Congress is established and he or she represents the interests of the Congressional members who live in the area? Because if that’s the case, it’s like Congressmen and women who live in the district but were voted into office in another area are being represented twice: once by themselves and again by the person who would represent the District.” —Townhall’s Beth Baumann)

Non compos mentis: “Pregnancy Kills. Abortion Saves Lives.” —By Warren M. Hern in The New York Times

The BIG Lie: “When a president calls clansman and Nazis and white supremacists very fine people — when he conflates the words of Representative Ilhan Omar … [and incites] islamaphobia and hatred and, yes, violence — you begin to be able to explain the rise in hate crimes every single one of the last three years. … [Trump] makes possible the acts of violence and hatred that we’re seeing play out in this country today.” —Beto O'Rourke

The BIG Lie II: “We’re not facing anti-abortion laws across this country; we are facing a sick attempt to strip us of our fundamental humanity and our individual autonomy. … And it’s not just an attack on women. It’s an attack on anyone who can or might get pregnant, including transgender men and gender non-conforming people.” —Planned Parenthood NYC President Laura McQuade

Village Idiot: “As the potential of women candidates to secure the Democratic nomination seems to be waning, Pete and Chasten [Buttigieg] appear on the cover of Time. And perhaps this is heterosexuality at its immaterial and strategic best, a heterosexuality that could take back the presidency for the Democrats: white, centrist, and without women.” —Yale professor Greta LaFleur, author of Heterosexuality Without Women

And last… “Something I’ve noticed: most pro-lifers understand the pro-choice arguments completely And can articulate them totally accurately. I have seen very few pro-choicers accurately portray a pro-life argument. It’s always filled with hyperbole & misinformation.” —Allie Beth Stuckey
