Friday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Roger Allen, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Charlie Kirk, and more.
Insight: “Congress is continually appointing fact-finding committees, when what we really need are some fact-facing committees.” —Roger Allen
Limited candle power: “Let me make something clear to Mr. Trump and his hatchet men, and the special interests funding attacks against me — I’m not going anywhere. You’re not going to destroy me. You’re not going to destroy my family.” —Joe Biden, who is destroying himself
Grand delusions: “You know, I’m a serious person but I’m also a fun person but I think I probably came across as too serious.” —Hillary Clinton with yet another excuse for losing in 2016
Verbal gymnastics: “Let me just tell you all, so we can be really clear, because I don’t want to leave you with any misimpressions [sic]. I am not a socialist. I believe in the virtues of capitalism, if capitalism is actually working.” —Sen. Kamala Harris
Gun-grabber: “We have to have a buyback program. And I support a mandatory buyback program. It’s got to be smart. We’ve got to do it the right way. But there are five million [‘assault’ weapons] at least, some estimate as many as 10 million. And we’re going to have to have smart public policy that’s about taking those off the streets, but doing it in the right way.” —Kamala Harris
Non compos mentis: “Police violence is gun violence also.” —Julian Castro
And last… “How is Donald Trump asking countries to stop interfering in our elections ‘impeachable election interference’ [b]ut Democrats saying they have to impeach Trump so he doesn’t win the next election isn’t?” —Charlie Kirk

I still can’t get over this. A sitting member of congress saying that people should be hired by the government based on skin color. Progressives racism must be called out as they try to institutionalize it. pic.twitter.com/uBMMc1yZWk
