Bill Kristol, arguably the Iraq War’s biggest cheerleader and President Trump’s staunchest critic, wants to help President-elect Joe Biden pass an immigration bill that includes amnesty.
Kristol’s announcement shows that the so-called conservative leaders of the Never-Trump movement are determined to keep the pressure on the Republican Party.
Politico’s Laura Barrón-López and Holly Otterbein report:
But how to do it is another story. After beating Trump and creating a permission structure for some GOP voters to back Biden, the task now, they said, is to turn back Republicans’ embrace of authoritarianism and transform their party in the process. But ask each of the never-Trump leaders what that means, and you get a different answer from each of them.
…
Bill Kristol, a leading figure in the anti-Trump movement, said that “never-Trump Republicans are a small but potentially important part of the overall Biden governing coalition.” If Biden tries to pass an immigration bill, for instance, they could help by touting provisions popular with Republicans and moderates.
“It could be ads. It could be private meetings. It could be talking to business leaders or to … members of Congress,” he said. “Never-Trumpers can help the Biden administration govern successfully.”
Though several of the never-Trumpers don’t consider themselves Democrats, they aren’t too concerned about the success of the current GOP, either. Edwards said all of the anti-Trump Republicans he knows want the Republican candidates in the Georgia Senate runoffs to lose because a GOP-controlled Senate will stymie a Biden agenda. And a do-nothing Biden presidency would optimize conditions for “another Trump” in four years, he said.
Kristol repeatedly provided justifications for a preemptive strike against Saddam Hussein in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq War. He served as a foreign policy advisor to Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign. He also frequently appeared as a commentator on Fox News until 2013 when the network didn’t renew his contract.
Kristol is NOT a Republican. He is a jerk and why do you give him a platform?
Jerk=Ahole
A friend of mine is coined a term I think applies: Jerkhole
You beat me to it–thanks!
Not Republican and wants us to kneel. No way will I support Biden Harris. Just ignore the mess we will be in when take office. Sorry for all who voted them in office.
We need to feel sorry for those of us who didn’t vote him into office. Those that did are happy like pigs in s..t!
Krystol is not an office holder, he is a scheming swamp creature and Marxist agitator
destroy the communist bastard
Yes!
You are spot on!
10% are sorry too.
Amen, brother!
bolshevik secular jew ..the same coterie that spawned the Russian Revolution
That man is a disgrace!
Kristol is trying to parlay betrayal of the most successful conservative Republican President in our lifetime for personal position in Washington DC. Kristol is not a Republican. He is a braying jackass of a self interested jerk.
Kristol is a punk coward just like all at cnn and msnbc die in gas chambers
possibly relevant that like Napoleon he is about 5 feet tall….nad getting to be 4 feet wide…..too much corned beef
I Total agree he is a BIG JACKASS. Just like the JACKASS DEM”S!!!!!
AMEN, Philip Byler!
If he thinks he’s a REPUBLICAN he doesn’t know REPUBLICANS stand for! John McCain was a RINO HE WASN’T A REPUBLICAN! People only voted for McCain was because of Sarah Palin! McCain thought he should have never been in OFFICE! His thinking wasn’t right after he was a POW! He fought against the REPUBLICANS!
Kristol might as well be Fidel Castro. A Fool always thinks themselves greater than their opponents. This man is a treasonous POS.
Good thing I don’t live on the border I would treat it like a shooting range with interactive targets
FUNNY, Flabbergasted.
Break out the tar and feathers. Anyone have a rail?
No more Kristol news, he is not worth the time.
Bill Crystal is turncoat traitorous far left liberal hiding behind “RINO” . He is an embarrasment to real people!
Well in America everyone is entitled to their opinion even the crazy far left Socialist Dems. I would be ok for the children but not for their parents or adults who brought them here. I also want the wall completed.
I saw him speak at the Federalist Society at the University of Toledo School of Law 25 years ago and I was not impressed. Years later I watched him on CNN stating confidently that France would support Bush invading Iraq. This was right after the French government publicly stated they were completely opposed to a military invasion of Iraq. All I could think was,what an arrogant ass.
If the Democrats take on illegal immigration against the will of voters they are dooming their Chances to ever be trusted or elected again.
I’m sorry, Sandy, but that ship (Dumbocraps being trusted) sailed a long time ago!
Traitor!!
We do need a form of amnesty for those who have been in the Country illegally for a long time, but not including the provisions pushed by Democrats. First, no illegal alien should be accorded a permanent right to remain in the US. Any such approval should be temporary, subject to renewal upon a review indicating that the illegal is self-supporting, maintains a job, has had no trouble with law enforcement, and has learned English. Failure of any of these requirements should result in immediate deportation. After a lengthy time of temporary legal residence, he should be permitted to apply for citizenship, without receiving any advantage over any other applicants. Any illegal who doesn’t register for the program within a specified time or fails to keep the Federal government informed of his location and employment should be immediately deported.
Folks, two things to remember.
So he has a lot more to lose than he realizes right now. Otherwise he’d keep a lower profile.
Bill Krystal is just a asshole that likes attention. he does nothing for America . he wants to let every other countries people come here and our country will pay there health care and food stamps . not him he is a worthless piece of garbage FOX dumped him . because he liked our young men getting killed in IRAQ and Kuwait . Please ignore the PILE OF CAMEL S.. t he is
You know its not a coincidence that all the crooked rich people like Krystal will love the Democrats it just helps Fat cats like him get richer
He is no republican. He is an asshole so full of himself he cannot see the damage he is inflicting on our country.
LOSER, and Sour grape. Poor fool.
Kristol is a pompous ass
he just might be the one we ship out of the United States for good
Kristol is Socialist pundit, he has already failed and has been checkmated by most recent Supreme Court ruling.
Bill Kristol is an ass and always has been (play on words intended).
I agree, hes a waste of skin. Talk is cheap. If hes a republican then act like one, don’t act like a dem.
Biden couldn’t pass a smell test, If they do steal the election for him they will murder the poor stupid sob.
This fool is not a republican or a conservative. I believe he gets spanked by someone on a regular basis. He talks like he is not confident of what he’s preaching.
NOTHING HERE BUT AN JACK ASS WITH MONEY AND NO BRAINS! A HAS BEEN!
We have laws! To come to the USA illegally is a crime. The Asylum excuse to stay here has been used and used and used! They need to leave! No amnesty! Our Congress has failed us if they do not enforce the laws of our country!
Who really cares what he thinks or does?
May Kristol receive the awards he deserves and it leads him to repent.
Thumb Print on Voter ID recorded in National Data Base. Thumb print on ballot. If it matches data base vote counts. If not you are in big trouble! Congress can do this but Democrats will object because it takes away their best way of cheating.
Kristol is only a scratch on the surface of all those who want AMERICA to be socialist.Maybe the whole Democrat pary, the blm, Antigua and rhinos should be arrested and be given 2 healthy meals a day as they dig there way thru the earth down to china. Kristol u can lead the way!!
Another idiot who cared more about his feelings than his country. Traitor comes to mind.
Why would anyone pay attention to HIM???!! I love Donald Trump – he is a HERO – unappreciated by many, and that makes me sad. The lack of discernment ability of the people who cannot see this is beyond me.
Kristol is looking for “home” a safe place that will give him the place of “honor” that his little mind feels he deserves. He feels he is the all of all things – the mind of minds ignoring the fact that he is a ZERO – a person of no consequence. His moment in history shall never be recorded.
Kristol is wrong, and has exposed his EGOTISTICAL SELFISH desire. Take his wealth away and lets see what he believes. Incentive and freedom go together.
Kristol, et al, need to be very proud of themselves, selling out their country as they did.
Kristol is a nasty snob.
communist trader !
If they achieve their global dictatorship people like Kristol think they will have a seat at the table.
No way.
The most vicious phycopaths will take control almost immediately.
Tens of thousands of people like him will be disappeared after a certain amount of torture.
Useful idiots are always trapped in their narcissism.
As long as the news media gives people like him a voice to a population that has long forgotten about him, he will keep pissing in the wind.
Power is so seductive, isn’t it, Bill Kristol? Satan is so seductive.
Really dumb idea, concedes to socialism …..
We will remember this scumbag.
Kristol is not a star. He is also not a Republican’s bootlace and has nothing to say that would interest Americans who love their country.
Kristol is JOKE, (not funny joke, more like a KACKASS< ASS<ASS<ASS)He is a worthless COMMUNIST, makes a lot of money, supports Biden and all the rest of the COMMUNIST’S
in this country. He and all the rest of his friends want to live here in this country to take advantage of all of our hard work. Why don’t they all move to a COMMUNIST country. We like
it here and this FREE ENTERPRISE system of government. When I was in the military I took an oath to defend this country. I still stand by that oath. Kristol needs to join and serve a stretch
in the COMMUNIST ARMED FORCES, He doesn’t have the guts to do that…All he knows is how to RUN his BIG mouth
Scumbag always a scumbag. Hell is waiting.
B Kristol go F a bull.
FIST OF ALL, LYING Joe Biden DID NOT WIN!!! He STOLE President Trump’s overwhelming votes. I pray God intervenes on this Blessed Day & exposes THE TRUTH!!
Arrogant old coot!
Would be nice to see him behind bars for treason.
