NYT columnist Nicholas Kristof may run for Oregon governor
NY Post ^ | 09/03/2021 | Joshua Rhett Miller

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof is considering a run to become Oregon’s next governor – and is reaching out to “high-level Democrats” on who could possibly work on his campaign, according to a report Friday.

Kristof, who grew up on a cherry and sheep farm in Yamhill in northern Oregon to later become a Times columnist and regular on CNN, has contacted campaign consulting firms and advisers in recent days on the potential run to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, three sources close to the matter told Politico.

Kristof — a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist known for covering human rights abuses and women’s rights issues — is having “mostly high-level” talks to assess if he could win by reviewing poll and focus group data. The 62-year-old is now getting close to making a decision, Politico reported.

How much ruin is there in some of these states? I guess 30 consecutive years or more of Rat dominance will finally bring them down, like the final part of a toilet bowl flush.

...known for covering human rights abuses and women’s rights issues...

Has he covered Islam's treatment of women and non-Muslims? Does he insist that women's rights include killing their babies?

I’ve heard of him and read him. He’s usually what you’d expect but he has lucid moments. For one thing particularly relevant to Oregon, he doesn’t think that violence from the left is acceptable. He just tweeted about that today in fact (in response to a leftist attack on a photographer).

I think he’d definitely be an improvement, and at least he’s not an idiot Karen (like Kate Brown). I don’t think a Republican has a chance there, so the best bet is to get a rational Dem - a nearly extinct breed.

Schadenfreuding at how badly this NYTool will be beaten, and how much we will learn about his private life.

Let's start with the ethnic homeless man he ran down in a hotel and pinned to the floor in 2016.

How about business and health department records regarding his whine & cheese factory startup in 2018.

"I think he’d definitely be an improvement, and at least he’s not an idiot Karen (like Kate Brown)."

Really? Kate Brown has TDS but even she has never said anything as idiotic as Little Nicky:

"All across America, in little towns like this one, Donald Trump is mainstreaming hate...Trump’s harsh rhetoric tears away the veneer of civility and betrays our national motto of “e pluribus unum.” He has unleashed a beast and fed its hunger, and long after this campaign is over we will be struggling to corral it again." -N. Kristof

How about this?

"Yet for more than 45 years, since that housing discrimination, Trump has engaged in a consistent pattern of racist behavior and speech. His latest controversial tweets are not an aberration but a culmination. This isn’t a matter of a single tweet; it’s a lifetime with a narrative arc of bigotry." -N. Kristof

Isn’t Kristof the journalist who led the witch hunt targeting an innocent man for the anthrax poisonings shortly after 9/11?

These remarks will make him/Kristof loved by the liberals who control Oregone and hate America, Trump and Trump’s deploreables/us!

Just what Oregon needs. A Stalinazi New York Slimes propagandist as Governor. 36 years of straight evil Demonrat degeneracy in that office ain’t enough.

Himmler DeBlasio is supposedly going to run for Fuhrer of New York. Surely, there’s enough dirt on the bastard to charge him with crimes against humanity and treason.
