Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Erick Erickson, Kyle Smith, Andrew Cuomo, and more.

Insight: “Of this I am quite sure, that if we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.” —Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Food for thought: “When you hear the reports from hospitals or doctors and nurses or people who’ve gotten the virus then still encounter people who say it’s no big deal, a conspiracy, or isn’t really happening, you realize how so many could witness the resurrected Christ and still not believe.” —Erick Erickson

For the record: “No one expects the mainstream media to be even-handed anymore. We don’t even expect the media to be professional. That ship has sailed.” —Kyle Smith

Hindsight: “We closed everything down. That was our public health strategy. If you re-thought that or had time to analyze that public health strategy, I don’t know that you would say, ‘Quarantine everyone.’” —Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who on Wednesday stated, “I don’t even know that that was the best public health policy.”

Forewarning: “This is not going to be the last [relief] bill.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who wants Democrats to keep pushing their radical agenda

The BIG Lie: “If you are not at your job today, it is because Donald Trump did not do his job (to fight #coronavirus) in January and February.” —Biden adviser Ronald Klain

Braying jackass: “The Road to Coronavirus Hell Was Paved by Evangelicals.” —Katherine Stewart in The New York Times (“Global pandemic arose in a communist country that persecutes all religious believers, and even puts them in camps. And here’s the NYT on the crisis. Beyond parody.” —Mark Hemingway)

And last… “The Chernobyl nuclear disaster transpired at the tail end of the Soviet Union’s lifespan. In the years ahead, America must do its best to ensure the ChiComs suffer the same fate as the Soviets.” —Josh Hammer
