Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from David Harsanyi, Kaylee McGhee, Joy Reid, and more.

Observations: “Biden can label antifa, the leftist movement responsible for the majority of violence, looting, and arson over past few months, nothing more than an ‘idea,’ and see no blowback. It was an interesting metaphor, because Joe Biden in 2020 is just an idea — a suggestion imbued with an infinite number of possibilities. Joe can be anything you want. What will the reality look like? I don’t know. You don’t know. He doesn’t know, either.” —David Harsanyi

For the record: “The people who advocate school closures are really the flat-earthers of our day.” —Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

Upright: “Senate Democrats are demanding that the Judiciary Committee delay its confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett because President Trump, Sen. Mike Lee, and presumably several others have contracted the coronavirus. It is not safe to hold the hearings in person, given the risk of infection, argued Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and virtual hearings are not an adequate replacement considering the nature of the appointment. Well, if that’s the case, let’s just forgo the hearings altogether and skip to the vote.” —Kaylee McGhee

Dezinformatsiya: “Sick and in isolation, Mr. President, you have become a symbol of your own failures. Failures of recklessness, ignorance, arrogance. The same failures you have been inflicting on the rest of us.” —CNN’s Jake Tapper

Grand delusions: “Here’s how wrecked Trump’s credibility is at this point: I’ve got a cellphone full of texts from people who aren’t sure whether to believe Trump actually has covid. ‘He lies so much,’ one friend just texted. ‘Is he just doing this to get out of the debates?’ others are texting.” —MSNBC’s Joy Reid

Non compos mentis: “He’s an evil genius, and I raise the possibility of him lying about having COVID-19 to prepare us and counteract his game. He knows being sick tends to gain one sympathy. He’s not above weaponizing this.” —Michael Moore

Braying jenny: “Going into crowds unmasked … was sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen.” —Nancy Pelosi

The BIG Lie: “This threat is still very real. And the sad irony is that on the day that the president was admitted to the hospital with the very virus he called a hoax, the Supreme Court in Michigan undermined my emergency rule, my emergency orders that I’ve had to enact that puts us until the same state as all other states in this nation to save lives.” —Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (Trump was rightfully lampooning the Democrats’ politicization of the virus.)

And last… “Donald Trump, diagnosed with the China Virus, STILL had more public appearances [yesterday] than Joe Biden.” —Charlie Kirk
