Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Betsy McCaughey, Mike Pence, Andrew Cuomo, and more.

Insight: “Government will not fail to employ education to strengthen its hands and perpetuate its institutions.” —William Godwin (1756-1836)

Upright: “The authors of the Constitution worried that Congress would try to seize control of presidential selection using dirty tricks like those in HR 1. … The framers provided in Article II, Sec. 1 that only state legislatures would have the power to determine how the president is chosen. No national rules. But Pelosi has no qualms about trashing the Constitution to kneecap her opponents.” —Betsy McCaughey

For the record: “Election reform is a national imperative, but under our Constitution, election reform must be undertaken at the state level. Our Founders limited Congress’ role in conducting our elections for good reason: They wanted elections to be administered closest to the people, free from undue influence of the national government.” —Mike Pence

Re: The Left: “New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling for the state legislature to revoke Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s emergency powers, joining nine Democrats as well as the state’s Republicans in doing so. … But why now? … Sexual harassment is indeed terrible, particularly from a position of authority, and especially from a position of public trust. A proven charge stands alone as reason to fire a man. But what about spending months lying and blaming others for 15,000 deaths in vulnerable elderly care facilities? Was that not enough to immediately end emergency authorities when it was exposed and then admitted? … The real reason for Cuomo’s coming fall are that power and ambition have seen weakness and smelled blood. Just as Attorney General Cuomo once took down a wounded Spitzer, a man who had called himself 'a f–king steamroller,‘ before taking his place, a weakened Cuomo now finds himself in the cross-hairs.” —Christopher Bedford

A trip down memory lane: “The recent revelations about sexual assault and harassment pervasive in our society are most disturbing. We are leading the way forward with the nation’s most comprehensive reform package.” —Andrew Cuomo, March 19, 2018

That didn’t age well: “Too many women are sexually assaulted while in college. Joined @NYGuvCuomo to discuss why #EnoughIsEnough!” —Nancy Pelosi in 2015

Race bait I: “Retail pharmacies told to prioritize vaccinating teachers but not getting extra supply. This means taking vaccine away from higher-risk persons & communities of color to vaccine young healthy teachers. This is an ANTI-EQUITY move. Teachers skew white.” —Celine Gounder, who served on Team Biden’s COVID-19 Advisory Board

Race bait II: “We have to call out the privilege behind the largely white wealthy parents driving the push for a rushed return [to in-person learning].” —United Teachers Los Angeles President Cecily Myart-Cruz

And last… “Just remember Cardi B’s 'WAP’ was NPR’s song of the year, but Dr. Seuss books are offensive.” —Lisa Daftari
