People are always coming up to Bill Kristol and asking him questions about Republicans and conservatives. You know, because Bill Kristol is such an expert on Republicans and conservatives.
Well, apparently these days a lot of people are asking Bill about the Virginia gubernatorial race between Terry McAuliffe and Glenn Youngkin.
Bill, why does a Principled Conservative™ like you support McAuliffe over Youngkin?
I’m asked, Why are you as a Republican not for Youngkin?
I worked for and supported many Republicans. I’m mostly proud to have done so. But if being a good Republican today means supporting Trump or acquiescing in and enabling Trumpist authoritarianism, I say: No. Country first.

Who wants to enable authoritarianism, Bill? Glenn Youngkin, or the guy who wants the state education children with no input whatsoever from parents?
Thank you. Some sanity from the right. Again thank you

Sorry, Pagan Lady, but what Bill Kristol has to offer is not sanity and it sure as hell isn’t from the Right.
Thankful there are still people with common sense and integrity 😬🎃

It most certainly ain’t.
You’re not a Republican. https://t.co/jzvxVbEQuO

“I’m against Republicans because they like a person I don’t like” sounds like a very bad reasoning for a Democrat pretending to be Republican. The gigs been up for years.

Bill Kristol owes Donald Trump a big sloppy kiss for reviving his floundering career.
Bill- you are about as Republican as @JoeBiden is cognitive. Further, in this race, it is @TerryMcAuliffe and all his surrogates that are talking about Trump. Wake up! The authoritarianism is coming from the Biden administration since day 1 in office! https://t.co/BlMJsHhVXi

Instead of just straight-up admitting that he’s a liberal shill, Bill Kristol would rather pretend that Joe Biden isn’t doing far more damage in such a short span of time than Donald Trump did in four years (as if Donald Trump even has anything to do with the Virginia race at all!). He’d rather pretend that Terry McAuliffe is an upstanding guy who, unlike Glenn Youngkin, will fight for the will of Virginians.
Bill Kristol is not an honest man.

Actually it’s all about Pierre’s bucks to you. You were always a fraud when it came to social issues. You just stuck around because of the pay.

You said: In order to keep the paycheck coming in, I will support the guy who spread election conspiracy theories about the 2000, 2004, 2016, and 2018 Georgia Governor’s race. I am exactly what I pretend to hate for money. https://t.co/k0mh7KgWru

Well, that’s assuming anyone has actually asked him about this issue in the first place.
Looks like Kristol had another psychotic episode. Because no one would ask him why he's doing something as a Republican, since no one believes he's a Republican anymore. So clearly this was all in his head. https://t.co/vsGUUgYfBM
