Brooks’ vehemence makes me wonder if Cruz has said something against accepting gayness as 100% normal agenda. I don’t say this as a cheap smear — his gender issues seem to be at the heart of Brooks’ mixed relationship with conservatism.
Gender issues? What are we talking about here? Brooksie has gayness issues? I never heard that about him. He just keeps saying stuff about pants legs and creases and manly hotness, but I've never heard anyone out David Brooks. The way Frank Rich did David Brock, for example, in the pages of The New York Times back when Brock was writing for American Spectator and working on a book about Hildebeast.
