Jennifer Rubin, the Washington Post’s self-identified conservative columnists, ran away from The Federalist’s Bre Payton when asked earlier today “what principles she holds that fall under the definition of conservatism”:
I asked @JRubinBlogger if she considers herself to be conservative, she said “yes, but I think the rest of the party has gone insane.” When I tried to ask what principles she holds that fall under the definition of conservatism, she said “I’ve gotta run” and walked away.

Pretty much:
Such a fraud.

And who wants to tell her that the Republican party is not equal to conservatism:
Being a "conservative" has nothing to do with a "party".
Ideology and partisanship are different things. https://t.co/aEOwoHds8o

This is a question CNN’s Ana Navarro should have to answer as well:
Would love to ask Ana Navarro the same question.
