Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Matt Walsh, Beto O’Rourke, Jim Kenney, Ilhan Omar, and more.

Food for thought: “How many of the people who ‘can’t afford’ to pay for their own birth control, which they claim is a basic health necessity, also have subscriptions to Netflix? I’d like to take a look at that graph.” —Matt Walsh

Friendly fire: “I just don’t think we should be rooting for a recession, because that’s not good for America.” —MSNBC’s Richard Stengel

Still inaccurate: “What matters was a man [Michael Brown] was shot, an unarmed man, in the middle of the street, by police officers and left to die. And I think that’s where our focus should be.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whose recent “murdered by a white police officer” lie, along with Sen. Kamala Harris’s, was glossed over by PolitiFact

Demo-gogues: “We have a racism in American that is as old as America itself. … But we have always tried, until now, to change that, until this president.” —Beto O'Rourke

Annals of the absurd: “We must as a country buy [‘assault’] weapons [and] take them off the streets altogether.” —Beto O'Rourke

The BIG Lie: “It’s harder to get cold pills than an AR-15. Something needs to change.” —David Hogg

Never let a crisis go to waste: “Our officers need help. … They need help with gun control. They need help with keeping these weapons out of these people’s hands. This government, on the federal and state level, don’t want to do anything about getting these guns off the street and getting them out of the hands of criminals. … And if the state and federal government doesn’t want to stand up to the NRA and some other folks, then let us police ourselves.” —Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (“On Kenney’s watch, Philadelphia has been plagued with gun violence. The homicide rate is the highest it has been in over a decade; in 2018, the rate increased 11 percent from the previous year. Kenney, and most other liberals advocating gun control, are ignoring the facts: The overwhelming majority of gun-related crimes are committed by people who own guns illegally. Crafting legislation that affects legal owners will have no impact on this.” —National Review’s Christopher Tremoglie)

Non Compos Mentis: “It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government. Trump’s Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing, this time against two duly elected Members of Congress.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

And last… “Israeli law forbids entry to any non-citizen who ‘knowingly issues a public call for boycotting Israel.’ What Omar and Tlaib (and their media cheerleaders and anti-Semitic supporters) were demanding was special treatment that violated Israeli’s own laws.” —Sean Davis
