Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from James Freeman, Kamala Harris, Charlie Kirk, and more.

For the record: “2020 Democrats doubled down on their radical, socialist ideas that would bring our great American comeback to a halt. Their proposals would destroy millions of jobs, kick hundreds of millions off of their health care plans, increase government control over nearly every aspect of their lives — and it would all come at an astronomical cost to taxpayers.” —RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel

Political futures: “It is clear that Warren has supplanted Sanders as the leader of the progressive movement in the Democratic field. As a result, it will be difficult — if not impossible — for Sanders to reestablish himself ahead of Warren.” —Doug Schoen

From the Lack of Self-Awareness Department: “Democratic politicians seem to spend about half the day accusing President Trump of trashing vaguely defined Constitutional norms — and the other half explaining how they plan to trash enumerated Constitutional rights.” —James Freeman

Hyperventilating hyperbole: “There are states that have passed laws that will virtually prevent women from having access to reproductive health care. And it is not an exaggeration to say women will die. Poor women, women of color will die because these Republican legislatures in these various states who are out of touch with America are telling women what to do with their bodies.” —Sen. Kamala Harris

Socialist bloviating: “The truth is, we cannot afford to continue this level of income and wealth inequality, and we cannot afford a billionaire class whose greed and corruption has been at war with the working families of this country for 45 years. If you are asking me, ‘Do I think we should demand that the wealthy start paying — the wealthiest, the top 1% — start paying their fair share of taxes so we can create a nation and a government that works for all of us?’ yes, that’s exactly what I believe.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders (“I remember when Bernie Sanders used to believe billionaires AND millionaires shouldn’t exist. Why does he just attack billionaires now? Because he’s a multi-millionaire who made all of his money stealing from the American people.” —Charlie Kirk)

Non compos mentis: “I hate when people talk about black women being obese. I hate it because it becomes a way to blame us for a set of conditions that we didn’t create. We are living in the Trump era. And look, those policies kill our people. You can’t get access to good health care, good insurance. … It’s literally that the racism that you’re experiencing and the struggle to make ends meet actually means the diet don’t [sic] work for you the same.” —Rutgers University professor Brittney Cooper

“So, just so we’re clear, you can say ‘my body, my choice’ when it comes to killing your baby, but I can’t say ‘my money, my choice’ when it comes to paying for it?” —Allie Beth Stuckey
