The Patriot Post® · Friday Short Cuts

Observations: “What we have is a rogue Democrat Party in the House of Representatives that’s using the institution of the House and the impeachment clause to interfere with the 2020 election. They’re interfering with the 2020 election more than the Russians did, more than Ukrainians did, even though that was bad enough, and they’re using our tax dollars to do it.” —Mark Levin

No doubt: “If [Republicans] were doing this [closed-door impeachment], you would be beating the s—t out of all of us.” —Sen. Lindsey Graham to the Leftmedia

Friendly fire: “I don’t know what’s going on [behind] those closed doors. We as members of Congress don’t have access to the information that is being shared. And I think that the American people deserve to know exactly what the facts are, what the evidence is that’s being presented as this inquiry goes on.” —Rep. Tulsi Gabbard

Non sequitur: “All the facts must come out and those who are attempting to obstruct this fact-finding inquiry may regret the day when they said all they want to do is open up the process. Our Republican friends may get what they wished for — all the facts coming out.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer

Foreign interference: “We have to work at the state and local level in terms of making sure that these voter ID laws are not passed, making sure that we have … monitors, lawyers, people watching the polls all the time, I personally want to ask the UN to come in. I’ve observed elections all over the world, and I think right now we need election observers from all over the world coming to monitor and to look at these tactics.” —Rep. Barbara Lee

Déjà vu: “Under my plan, if you negotiated an agreement for healthcare with your employer, union, or otherwise, and you like it because you’ve given up wages to get it, you can keep it.” —Joe Biden

More freebies: “It is a moral stain on our country that we have half a million or more people facing homelessness. … In a few weeks, we are going to introduce our ‘Homes For All’ legislation, which will, hopefully, guarantee a home for everyone.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

Non compos mentis: “The people that are producing climate change, the folks that are responsible for the largest amount of emissions, or communities, or corporations, they tend to be predominantly white. … We can’t act as though the inertia and history of colonization doesn’t play a role in this.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

And last… “The ones who were the loudest voices in spreading the Russian collusion hoax now also seem to be the ones most determined to prevent the truth about its origins from coming to light.” —Rep. Mark Meadows
