Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Hillary Clinton, Andrew McCarthy, Marco Rubio, and more.

Summing it up: “Donald Trump is being impeached [again] for the unpardonable offense — capital felony — of being Donald Trump.” —Larry Elder

Upright: “The House Democrats are proceeding as if they had a viable criminal incitement case. Where their evidence inevitably comes up short, instead of acknowledging the insufficiency, they are relying on unconstitutional claims — e.g., that the president is the commander-in-chief of the whole country, rather than just the armed forces; and that we should judge speech based on how the worst elements react to it, rather than on its content and the intent of the speaker. If the point of this exercise is to uphold the Constitution, that is a strange way to go about it.” —Andrew McCarthy

Impeachment theater: “[Eric Swalwell is] an interesting choice. Somebody who’s part of a Chinese espionage ring effectively, so it’s a provocative choice. I will say that.” —Senator Josh Hawley on Swalwell serving as a House impeachment manager

Conspiracy theorist: “If Senate Republicans fail to convict Donald Trump, it won’t be because the facts were with him or his lawyers mounted a competent defense. It will be because the jury includes his co-conspirators.” —Hillary Clinton

Cat out of the bag: “The Republicans who stand with Donald Trump are is enablers, and they must be stopped.” —Elizabeth Warren

Fearmongering: “Armed insurrectionists [with] guns, weapons, zip ties, brass knuckles — they were coming for us. … [Donald Trump] incited an armed angry mob to riot … incited and armed insurrection against the United States government. … [It was] an armed angry and dangerous crowd. … [This was] armed violence against the government of the United States of America. And but for the grace of God, they would have gotten us. All of us.” —Democrat impeachment manager David Cicilline (D-RI) (The only person killed in the Capitol was an unarmed woman.)

Communist infiltration: “[The FBI] has warned about China’s Communist Party using Confucius Institutes to infiltrate American schools. But now Biden [has] quietly withdrawn [a] rule proposed by [the] Trump admin to require schools & universities to disclose their partnerships with these agents of Chinese govt influence.” —Marco Rubio

Income redistribution: “The Biden admin NEEDS to be pushed. They have said they’re comfortable with $10K in [student loan] forgiveness but we NEED at least $50K minimum. … We cannot take no for an answer. This will all come down to public pressure.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

And last: “So, it’s ok for Dem Jamie Raskin to try to ‘overturn’ Trump electors but it’s incitement to violence when Trump urged Congress to ‘overturn’ Biden electors? Isn’t that called hypocrisy?” —Rand Paul
