Progressive Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna has apparently been spending a lot of time with Bill Kristol these days.
And he’s learning a lot!
.@BillKristol is one of the most thoughtful voices in defending liberalism and democratic institutions in our country. Learned a lot in our conversation about shaping also an inclusive narrative around American patriotism.

Unfortunately for Rep. Khanna, one thing he hasn’t learned is how to avoid getting ratio’d:
Those numbers are really cookin’! And we’d expect nothing less, for obvious reasons.

Ruh-Ro.
If you’re being held hostage Ro, RT this. @RoKhanna

Heh.
Hahaha. We disagree strongly on the Iraq war, but I believe you engage where there is common ground and he has been a voice on strengthening safeguards against executive abuse.

Oh, Ro. Bless your heart for trying to make Bill Kristol happen!
I was a strong and early critic of the war in Iraq, & Kristol and I have very different worldviews on foreign policy. But to have a discussion about strengthening liberalism and liberal institutions with people you disagree is in my view needed in a pluralistic democracy.

It can indeed be very helpful to engage with people whose political philosophy might differ from yours. But there’s always a reason not to prop up Bill Kristol, whether it’s over the Iraq War or simply because Donald Trump broke Bill Kristol’s brain.

If we may offer Ro Khanna a piece of friendly advice, may we suggest not hitching your wagon to Bill Kristol? For any reason.
