Bill Kristol: Trump and Moore are bringing out my 'inner liberal'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Conservative commentator Bill Kristol says that President Trump and Senate candidate Roy Moore (R-Ala.) are bringing out his "inner liberal."

In a tweet Tuesday afternoon, the founder and editor-at-large of The Weekly Standard suggests that his his loyalty to the GOP is being tested by Trump and Moore, as well as the Republican Party's tax reform effort. 

"The GOP tax bill's bringing out my inner socialist. The sex scandals are bringing out my inner feminist. Donald Trump and Roy Moore are bringing out my inner liberal," Kristol tweeted, adding "WHAT IS HAPPENING?"

His tweet comes as Moore faces mounting accusations of sexual assault from several women who claim Moore pursued them sexually when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s.

1. There is a reason Nixon resigned in disgrace, patriotic Republicans.

They still exist, not many but some.

Kristol is one.

Oh, patriotic republicans AND these guys

2. It's called an epiphany, Mr. Kristol!

John Lennon called it "Instant Karma!"

Welcome to the human race!

[First Speaker]

3. We need people like Kristol...

...Repubs who, however conservative they are, still believe in the concept of liberal democracy.

4. Blast the escape pod! Shoot him down! Shoot him down!

You paved the road for these people, Billie boy. You have no "inner liberal", you're just trying to scuttle away from what you built!

Lock the doors on the Disownership Society! Let no one in!

Own him, Bill!

5. This means you're learning Kristol. That should give you hope. You don't have to be uninformed or

misinformed, just a plain liar for the rest of your life. That's a good thing. Spread the word to others who are currently as unenlightened as you once were. And remember, once you know the truth, you can't go back.

6. The same thing happened to Darth Vader.

Welcome to the light side Bill!

7. Cute, but he knows. He helped bring us to this precipice,

only backing away fairly recently as it came into view.

Time to start speaking truth.

8. Shitler admitting sexual harassment and 16 sexual harassment charges did not bring out his

inner basic decent human being, did it?

10. I'm pretty sure Kristol has been tearing into Trump for years now.

9. You're not a liberal, but you might be a Patriot.

Patriotic Republicans at this point would still claim to be Republicans, and work to change their party from the ground up, but they would be voting for and endorsing Democrats. The Republican party is not going to change until it receives a shock to the system, and it won't get a shock as long as it's in power. If you want your party back, you need to vote it out of office.

11. #45 & Co. are reactionary radicals. Theyll drive any sane person leftward.

All these “strange bedfellows” (Bill Kristol, David Frum, David Jolly, Max Boot, Michael Steele, Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, et al) have been around long enough to know that what’s happening now is a serious threat to our democracy. By their own accounts, one has left the Republican Party (Boot), one now refers to himself as a “Bull Moose Republican” (Jolly) and the others are at least showing definite signs of moving to the center. All of them despise Trump & Co. and are on record as saying so.

Remember, Elizabeth Warren was once a Republican. Hillary Clinton was once a “Goldwater Girl.” People can change, especially when everyone is confronted with a common enemy.
