A Surprising Conversation With Kevin D. Williamson of National Review

Kevin and I sat down to discuss political punditry in 2016. He believes ‘armageddon sells’ in political discourse, yet while there are future economic problems on the horizon, things aren’t as bad as they’re made out to be. As an original Never-Trumper, his opinion of the Republican Nominee is unwavering. I ask if he and his likeminded colleagues have painted themselves into a corner. He also answers those on Ricochet[.com] who suggest SCOTUS is a legitimate reason to pull the lever for Trump in November. Kevin D. Williamson is National Review’s roving correspondent and director of the National Review Institute’s William F. Buckley Jr Fellowship Program in Political Journalism. He is the author of The Case Against Trump, The End Is Near and It’s Going To Be Awesome: How Going Broke Will Leave America Richer, Happier, and More Secure, The Dependency Agenda, and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism. He is a regular commentator on Fox News, CNBC, MSNBC, and NPR. His work has appeared in the New York Post, the New York Daily News, Commentary, Academic Questions, and other publications.

Dave Sussman is a new culture warrior on the scene who does a cool website called mantle minute - all the regular videos are less than a minute long, and he also does longer pieces, usually involving interviews. There is one with Larry Elder as well, and also the conservative street artist Sabo.

It is just me or does merely seeing the name of this fat, bald, redneck, pseudo-intellectual POS turn other people’s stomach? After his vile statements about working-class whites and how they need to just go away and die, I hope to God I never run into this smear of feculent scum.

I couldn’t care less about what Williamson has to say.

[Uncle Miltie]

There is no more perfect example of GOPe / RINO / Uniparty / Leftist hack than Kevin D. Williamson.

If you want to know how to defeat conservatism within the Republican Party, listen to Kevin!

You said it, mate! KDW is as snobby a progressive as has ever wet the rubber mat.

There came a point in my life when I realized if a person has lots of titles, a career post with a famous organization, etc., that didn’t mean I still wasn’t smarter than them.

This is one of those times. There are a lot of those times, lately. I’m not bragging, just stating facts. For a lot of us here at Freep, know that you are smarter than many, many of our politicians and MSM members.
