Bill Kristol
He's still anti-Trump.
Joe Scarborough this morning brought up that Breitbart News called Bill Kristol a "renegade Jew" for daring to oppose Trump, and Kristol was all too happy to name-call back:
I hate the fact that its called Breitbart News. Its unfortunate were all sitting around talking about "Breitbart." Its a disservice to Andrews memory. I knew Andrew well, and he was a trouble-maker but he was a good-hearted person. I honestly think if they change the name and call it, you know, "right-wing intolerant mean-spirited news," that would be fine.
Kristol also had words for Steven Bannon, formerly of Breitbart and now Chief Executive of the Trump campaign:
Mr. Bannon has run his website, I guess its been pretty successful from a business point of view, but someone should go look at all the things theyve said.
At which point Irony curled up into a fetal-position ball and died.
Im not a big oh, its terrible anti-Semitism kind of guy, but thats a little creepy. Why was I a renegade Jew? Because I dont support Donald Trump. Really?
Washington Post reporter Bob Costa pointed out that Breitbart is the source of "Trumpism."

So this is why Donald Trump loves Breitbart News so much he hired its CEO as his campaign's chief? Breitbart News is: "right-wing intolerant mean-spirited news, Donald Trump is a right-wing intolerant mean-spirited man?

(39,368 posts)That pretty much defines an ideology that rejects social progress and economic fairness at every turn. So Kristol doesn't personalize it the way Bannon/Breitbart does; they're both on the same team. Nice to see they have some sorting out to do. Take your time, guys.
