Don’t be naive. The Left will say whatever they can to make us think they’re good guys. They aren’t. Think of them as scam artists sweet talking you into giving them your money. It’s kinda like that. They are liars, cheaters, and manipulators. Don’t be fooled.

"I belonged to a social class that my friend Peggy Noonan called “the protected.” My family lived in a safe and pleasant neighborhood. Our kids went to an excellent public school. I was well paid, fully insured, insulated against life's harsh edges."

Why not do an experiment? Go and get a real job, bust your hump for a while, get some dirt under your fingernails. Learn what it's like to not be able to pay your taxes because they're TOO DAMNED HIGH.!

Who knows, maybe you'll learn what it's like to be an American, and not a sniveling little commie...

I agree! Reagan and Trump! And I thought no one could top Reagan, but Trump proved me wrong!

It’s too late for him - but he better not venture too far from home.

“Is this a lame attempt at an apology?”

When is the last time you saw a progressive apologize?

It’s a trap. While he poisoned young voters minds with lies before 2020....now, in order to look like a fair person(in time to change the hate trump narrative that is gonna kill the Dems,) he comes out with a fake mea culpa.
The Dems and their media lapdogs used up ALL their integrity a long time ago. They need to be shunned, defunded, and go bankrupt. Must be destroyed(Legally) of course.
The Dems and the msm expect a certain percentage of voters to still trust them. Throw them out in the trash.

Forever discredited. You can’t be on the wrong side of the important issues and still be a player.

His columns about Trump were notable mainly for their extreme hatred for Trump, possibly even outdoing George Will. I don’t know what caused Bret to adopt that stance. He is Jewish and Trump did more to benefit Israel than any other recent President.

The hook is at the end. This is a trick article designed to pull in gullible people. I bet this guy hates Trump as much as ever.

I am reminded of the end of The Canada Song from MST3K where they are lampooning Canada after a particularly bad Canadian movie.

Mike: We mustn't hate, mustn't hate.

Crow: At least so overtly.

Mike: Exactly right, must disguise our hate just a little.

Semi righteous from this blow hard. His next column will blow south and will be Trump hating. We shall see. ( just my opinion)

Doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t use that rag for my butt even if no to was around.

“Telling voters they are moral ignoramuses is a bad way of getting them to change their minds.”

This sanctimonious prick claims to feel regret because failed to change our minds.

I wonder if he’ll ever experience the true regret of finally figuring out he’s been on the wrong side the whole time.

So he still thinks Trump is appalling and a threat to American life and he dumped the Russia collusion hoax for the Stalinist January 6 hoax. Ted Cruz and Hugh Hewitt may think this is excellent. I don't.

I say this unironically: This is an excellent—and much needed—column by Bret Stephens in the NYT. https://t.co/O8aNZNwFKr— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) July 21, 2022

Is this an apology?

I know you’re stupid, but I shouldn’t have told you so.

There are none so blind as those who say they can see.
