Washington Examiner ^ | Dec 27, 2017 | Caitlin Yilek

Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz says he’s feeling the heat from family and friends over his defense of President Trump amid special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

“It’s caused me to lose seven pounds,” Dershowitz told Politico. “My liberal friends don’t invite me to dinner anymore.”

Alan, you've been defending the Constitution and showing character, which is of course what counts.

I fail to see the downside...

Bolsheviks need to adopt Taqiya ,and pretend to care about the welfare of the people they intend to kill.

Your Liberal friends are all emotionally arrested adolescents, Professor.

I've lost a friend of 50 years over my undivided support for Trump.

Earth to Dershowitz... they’re not friends, they’re mindless libtards, incapable of accepting reality.

I am a bit more discerning when it comes to choosing my friends. Liberals are automatically disqualified. I learned long ago, that with “friends” like a Liberal, who the hell needs enemies?

The tolerant left is motivated by hate and bigotry. They are everything they accuse us of being.

Dersh was a fervent supporter of the Clintons and Gore if I recall. Hmmm, wonder what changed him? Perhaps being that he is Jewish, he figured out that the real Nazis were the Democrats?

I guess he doesn’t know what the word “friends” means.

Pssst - Alan, maybe they weren’t your friends to begin with?

Maybe they’re like the FaceBook liberals who brag about having 4000+ “friends” and... then ask you for your phone number and email because they’re too busy to check FaceBook.

IOW: Not worth wasting your time with.

Liberal professor discovers he’s not all that liberal?

Democrat “friends”... who can become instant enemies when any speck of Truth is offered that contends with the current “progressive” narrative of the “collective”!

Truth be known... if you’re a Democrat you really don’t have any friends... just comrades.

Its been very interesting to watch Prof. Dershowitz actually exercise academic freedom during a time when academia is resorting to censorship and groupthink.

He still is. He can't defend Trump with out back door defending Hillary. Moral equivalence crap in every appearance I have seen.

I suspect Alan is still a Liberal. And, will likely always be a Liberal. Having said that, he is first and foremost, a believer and defender of the Constitution and the rule of law.

His support of Trump comes from a legal perspective, not one of ideology.

He is an honest and principled man that happens to be a Democrat. Not too many like that...

I echo your response to Dershowitz: They are not your friends; they never were.

I pretty much lost a sister and a brother because of my vocal support of President Trump. I’ve tried to separate politics from day to day discourse but it seems to make the situation worse. Both of them get what they think are facts from MSNBC and CNN and are totally misguided. They are convinced that Russia helped Trump win the election.
