While Donald Trump has called on the GOP to become a “worker’s party”— a development Sen. Jeff Sessions called for two years ago, ironically, in the pages of the National Review— French has defended the idea that white working-class communities “deserve to die.”

Dork. Kristol should have just left things alone.
I think its all an elaborate ruse to bring even more support to Trump
Seriously - a hated insider, elitist, RINO, war-mongering, neocon has publicly found some idiot lackey to run against Trump? It will bring even more Republicans, and a lot of Democrats, to Trump!
NR also infamously called Sen. Sessions a prostitute for endorsing Trump. Does Mr. French agree?
I read somewhere last week that the NeverTrump idiots had decided to further sabotage the election by putting a third party candidate on the ballot in a few key states that could really split the vote and cost Trump those states. It doesn’t take a political strategist to see that would hand the election to Hitlery, and therefore I’m inclined to think these people (Kristol et al) are totally purposeful in their actions. What kind of conservative is ok with THAT WOMAN being our prez? National Review, Weekly Standard, and all those supporting this crap are dead to me. Liars and frauds, all of them.
Just when you thought #NeverTrump couldn’t dig up anyone crazier than Beck, they find one.
Now we see one of the many reasons the GOP-e has been lost in the wilderness for decades.
Trump IS a third party candidate.
“Specifically, French wrote a piece in support of Kevin D. Williamson, who had said:
“The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible. Forget all your cheap theatrical Bruce Springsteen crap. Forget your sanctimony about struggling Rust Belt factory towns and your conspiracy theories about the wily Orientals stealing our jobs. Forget your goddamned gypsum, and, if he has a problem with that, forget Ed Burke, too. The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump’s speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin. What they need isn’t analgesics, literal or political. They need real opportunity, which means that they need real change, which means that they need U-Haul.”
French described Williamson’s piece as “excellent” and said that Williamson’s words were “fundamentally true and important to say.”
Little Ben Shapiro is pushing this neocon clown this morning.
First a Canadian and now the French?
Obama and the liberals have been dividing us into groups for years- black, white, latino, women, men... Kristol and his buddy might as well divide us into White Business Class and the Blue Collar Working Class.
What ever happened to simply “American”?
LOL Trump will shove that where the sun don't shine...
Based on the headline, French sounds like he will draw the most racist liberal votes.
While I may be classified as “white collar”, I also work in a production plant with a lot of people who would be classified as “blue collar.” Bill Kristol’s Candidate needs to be identified and pilloried for making such a stupid @$$ed statement.
Kristol should be_____. Fill in the blank.
“My church in Kentucky made a determined attempt to reach kids and families that were falling between the cracks, and it was consistently astounding how little effort most parents and their teen children made to improve their lives. If they couldn’t find a job in a few days — or perhaps even as little as a few hours — they’d stop looking. If they got angry at teachers or coaches, they’d drop out of school. If they fought with their wife, they had sex with a neighbor. And always — always — there was a sense of entitlement. And that’s where disability or other government programs kicked in. They were there, beckoning, giving men and women alternatives to gainful employment. You don’t have to do any work (your disability lawyer does all the heavy lifting), you make money, and you get drugs.”
That statement is true. It is true of a significant chunk of the lower economic classes, black, white or brown. Government programs to make poverty more bearable have resulted in more people content to by lazy in their poverty.
Too many of the unemployed are content to stay unemployed. Too many on disability are not truly disabled.
That does not mean we are not forcing a lot of jobs overseas by making it too expensive to hire someone in America. Government regulation and government taxes are making it cheaper to hire Chinese and ship something 10,000 miles than to build and hire in America. Government, and the liberal vote buying, is the root of the problem. But there are plenty of poor people in all races who just do not WANT to work!
IMHO the death nail for manufacturing jobs were the unions who assisted in pricing them out of the market.
Similar situation. I am an engineer in the heavy construction industry. I wear a white hard hat. I see a lot of blue and yellow hard hats with Trump stickers, not a single Killary or Bernie sticker on them, though.
Bill sure vetted this self hating Whitey.
Al Sharpton could be this guy’s VP.
Under Kristol's boy French, PC would remain alive and well, like a spreading malignant cancer. Much of Trump's appeal is the realization that PC must die for the nation to survive.
