“I shouldered the blame for the porous border.” — Kamala Harris, from a book excerpt published Wednesday
We say: Harris’ new excuse for why she got trounced last November: The Biden White House threw her under the bus on immigration.
She complains it gave her no spin doctors after she was dubbed “border czar,” and whines that immigration was “an issue that had proved intractable.”
Intractable? President Trump has brought illegal border crossings down to their lowest in decades.
Plus, Harris might have more reason to moan about being saddled with one of the Biden team’s worst failures — if she hadn’t publicly declared that there’s “not a thing” she would’ve done differently than Biden.
“[Charlie Kirk is] constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech.” — Matthew Dowd, Wednesday
We say: This is sick: After Charlie Kirk was gunned down in Utah, liberals like Dowd rushed to argue that the 31-year-old father of two was basically asking for it.
“Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words,” Dowd declared, “which then lead to hateful actions.”

What of the hateful thoughts and words of lefties, who believe that disagreeing with them justifies brutal murder?
Dowd lost his MSNBC gig over his vile comments, but he was saying what far too many progressives believe.
“We don’t know why [Decarlos Brown Jr.] did what he did.” — CNN’s Van Jones, Monday
We say: We actually do know why Brown stabbed Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a light train in Charlotte, NC: He was dangerously mentally ill and shouldn’t have been on the streets, says his own family, but a judge set him free after at least 14 arrests.
“It’s not about cashless bail” cries Jones; feel sorry for Brown because: “This man was hurting,” and “hurt people hurt people.”
Yet Zarutska isn’t hurt — she’s dead.
“Joe Biden looks like an Olympic athlete compared [to President Trump].” — Rep. Eric Swalwell, Wednesday
We say: Oh, brother. Pretending that Biden is in tip-top shape was embarrassing last year before his major prez-debate meltdown or the news that he’s, sadly, suffering from Stage 4 prostate cancer.
To keep carrying water on Biden’s health, after the world learned that his staff knew about his mental decline for his entire presidency and covered it up, is a beyond-pathetic attempt at gaslighting.
The public knows the truth now, Eric. You can quit the charade.
