Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Ben Shapiro, AOC, Andrew Cuomo, and more.

Insight: “It is easy to make light of insistence on scrupulous regard for the safeguards of civil liberties when invoked on behalf of the unworthy. History bears testimony that by such disregard are the rights of liberty extinguished, heedlessly at first, then stealthily, and brazenly in the end.” —Justice Felix Frankfurter (1882-1965)

Re: The Leftmedia: “Hunter Biden has been under investigation since 2018. We only found out about this now. The media didn’t dig into allegations about Hunter during the entirety of the 2020 election cycle. Many declared that stories from the @NYPost were Russian disinformation. … Your job was to bring relevant information to the American public. You ignored it, because you are largely Democratic mouthpieces. You spent months claiming Trump would burn the mailboxes to stop voting. You suggested Stacey Abrams was governor of Georgia due to voter suppression. You openly screamed for censorship from social media directed at alternative sources of information you refused to cover. There are many kinds of threat to democracy. As a famous former newspaper once said, ‘Democracy dies in darkness.’ You guys are, all too often, the people turning out the lights.” —Ben Shapiro

Inquisitive minds want to know: “So does Twitter ban itself now for suppressing real news about Hunter Biden during the election? How does that work?” —Buck Sexton

Friendly fire: “I think one of the things I’m looking for, when I see all of these [Biden Cabinet] picks put together, is: What is the agenda? What is this overall vision going to be? And to me, I think that’s a little hazy.” —AOC

Non compos mentis: “I am honored to receive the 2020 Edward M. Kennedy Institute Award for Inspired Leadership. I learned about humanity, leadership and putting people first from the great Senator Ted Kennedy.” —Governor Andrew Cuomo (“I mean it is an award named after a man who killed a woman by driving off a bridge, so makes sense.” —Ben Shapiro)

Race bait: “We violated our founding promises before the ink was dry. We boldly declared, ‘We the People’ and promptly defined ‘We’ as rich, white, Protestant men.” —Rep. Joe Kennedy III

And last… “The abortion industry, like the porn industry, is completely irredeemable. Primarily because it violates human beings, but also because the industry itself is so rife with corruption, greed & deceit and is led by the most heartless, depraved people society has to offer.” —Allie Beth Stuckey
