Wow! GOP 'Never Trumpers' Are Paid by a 'Radical' Leftist Billionaire
PJ Media ^ | 07/15/2020 | Victoria Taft

They sound like Leftists. They act like Leftists. And now we learn that the Never-Trumper group called “The Lincoln Project” is funded by a Leftist billionaire, according to a new book on the subject.

And a collective “Oh, it all makes sense to me now!” just spread over the land.

The project features, among others, GOP political strategists Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, the Washington Post’s “conservative” columnist Jennifer Rubin, former “Weekly Standard” editor Bill Kristol, and disgruntled attorney, George “Mr. Kellyanne” Conway, who spends nearly all of his time trying to ruin his wife’s White House career.

Judging by their antics, the anti-Trump collective is like a latter-day mix of political saboteur Donald Segretti, lawless Yippie Abbie Hoffman, yellow gossip columnist Walter Winchell and political monkey-wrencher Saul Alinsky. Their goal is to do everything they can to cost Donald Trump the White House in 2020 in order to burn the GOP brand. So that’s why they’re supporting Joe Biden.

In her new book, Disloyal Opposition: How the NeverTrump Right Tried―And Failed―To Take Down the President, reporter Julie Kelly looks into this group of out of work and out of favor politicos – left on the sidelines after a Trump 2016 victory. She wonders how they got the money to begin their political monkeywrenching operation against Trump after the Weekly Standard, a reliable home for the “Resistance,” went bust.

Kelly assembled the pieces of the Kristol and company money machine puzzle and winds up with a picture of a Silicon Valley billionaire. She depicts the relationship as one of basically paymaster and servant.

Kristol and most of his NeverTrump cohorts are on the dole of a left-wing philanthropist generously underwriting any cause or influencer committed to ending the Trump presidency.

eBay, Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook .... Do you see any pattern here?

Umm, I'll try "Nuke Silicon Valley off of the face of the Earth for $200, Trebec?"

“Yeah, these people are disgusting.

The thing to remember is they have NEVER been “conservatives.”

Yup. They detest Trump for doing a few things that he promised.

Some may recall that Kasich was supposed to be this great intellectual opponent of Clinton back in th 1990’s. He’s an absolute fraud, and just one illustration of your post. These alleged conservatives are nothing more than neocons and Tories.
