Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Rush Limbaugh, Ilhan Omar, Beto O’Rourke, Erick Erickson, and more.

For the record: “The U.S. Census Bureau’s global population clock reports more than 7.5 billion people on our planet. For those wondering about the potential financial impact of offering insurance coverage to all of humanity … the population of the world is roughly 23 times as large as the population of the United States.” —James Freeman

Food for thought: “So here we have the captain of the American women’s soccer team reluctant to sing the national anthem. You know what I think [Megan Rapinoe] may be angling for? Kaepernick. She wants a Kaepernick deal with Nike. … She’s showing Nike she can be just as anti-American as Kaepernick. Give me a chance. Let me do the LGBTQ angle of Kaepernick.” —Rush Limbaugh

Belly laugh of the week: “With the 4th World Cup title now secured by the USWNT, what should Megan Rapinoe do next? One recommendation would be to enter the Democratic Primary for president.” —Democrat strategist Kevin Walling

Non Compos Mentis: “Patriarchy has no gender.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Intraparty infighting: “When these comments first started, I kind of thought that [Nancy Pelosi] was keeping the progressive flank at more of an arm’s distance in order to protect more moderate members, which I understood. But the persistent singling out … it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful … the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.” —Ocasio-Cortez

Braying Jenny: “Fox News is now giving a nightly platform to white supremacist rhetoric. It’s dangerous. Advertisers should not be underwriting hate speech.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar (“Omar is an anti-Semitic, anti-American bigot who is far more likely to defend the character of convicted ISIS terrorists than she is the character of the nation that saved her from the war-torn Islamist hellhole that is Somalia.” —Sean Davis)

Race bait: “This country was founded on white supremacy. And every single institution and structure that we have in the country still reflects the legacy of slavery and segregation and Jim Crow and suppression even in our democracy.” —Robert Francis “Beto” O'Rourke

And last… “If white supremacy is woven into American democracy as Beto claims, why isn’t he doing something about it by stepping aside and endorsing Kamala Harris or Cory Booker?” —Erick Erickson
