Bill Kristol

Michael Anton wrote that famous Flight 93 article about how the United States was about to be destroyed by liberals and how they had to fight back.

On the other hand, you know, my graduate school friend, Bill Kristol, who had been a ferocious neocon and advocate of the Iraq War, turned into a very strong anti-Trumper, or never-Trumper.

I mean, it's one of the interesting things in the book, because you say your father was always a real liberal, and that he was, in fact, a mate of Cornel West, who's an icon of the American left.

Yeah.

But it's more significant.

Bill Kristol, what an ass.

Do you think they were laughing with him or laughing at him? Bill Kristol had a, I think, a very serious message on X.

In reaction to President Trump, Bill Kristol said, I found watching Trump's UN speech today deeply depressing.

It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president.

Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees that we are governed by a vainglorious fool.
