New Yorker Irked by Democrat Lawyer David Boies for Supporting Trump on Iran

Prominent Democrat lawyer David Boies, best known for representing Al Gore in Bush v. Gore after the contested 2000 election, riled many of his fellow Democrats by recently writing a Wall Street Journal op-ed, "Partisanship on Iran Is Dangerous for America," with the subtitle of "Trump is doing the right thing for the U.S., and we Democrats should judge the war on the merits."

Needless to say this set many liberals on edge, including a highly irked Isaac Chotiner of the New Yorker. He doesn't tolerate dissent from the Democrat party line well. Earlier, Politico found an anonymous Democrat strategist to characterize Chotiner's book interview with former Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre last October to “watching Mike Tyson fight a baby.”

Therefore when Chotiner later interviewed Boies he couldn't contain his derangement over the support of the Democrat lawyer for Trump on what he is doing in Iran as you can see in his Monday inquest, "Why David Boies Thinks We Should Support Trump’s Iran War."

His questions put to Boies in the interview came off as a highly partisan primal scream mix of the accusatory and the downright frustrated as you can see starting with the following question.

The New Yorker inquisitor certains puts the DERANGEMENT into his TDS.

I wonder how many of these malignant globalists and radical leftists have to come out as cheerleaders for this stupid war before people here on FR start to have reservations about it.

Lindsey Graham … John Bolton … Mark Levin … Hillary Clinton … now David Boies. The list will go on and on. LOL.

[irishjuggler]

Well said, AC. Seriously. If Boies and Bolton are enthusiastic members on your side, maybe you should think twice about your side.

I thought the New Yawker went out 30 years ago.

[Obadiah]

Because with Democrats you may NEVER go against or stray from the elite’s orthodoxy! You have no right to your own opinions - on anything. It’s groupthink, or we reject you.

But yeah, MAGA is the cult. Bwahahahaha...

[Zathras]

Actually you should look at history.
Reagan knew that Iran and radical islam was the enemy.
Bush41 brought CAIR to the USA.
GWB refused to look at who was really behind 911.
Trump is simply rewinding the clock back to 1980

[Alberta's Child]

Let’s add Mike Pence to the list, too … another credible hero on FR. LOL.

I’m sure Dick Cheney and John McCain are smiling through the flames right now too.

No, they just renamed it to The Hymietowner.

Merit is apparently a very rare and expensive commodity. Merit is continually denigrated and downplayed, and yet its sterling qualities are there for anyone to see if they have eyes and a modicum of common sense.

Is it because of a sense of jealousy, or is some vital cog in the logic and reasoning power of certain folks simply defective or missing altogether? Difficult to say, but there is a high price put on hurt feeling, and it is passed through to every consumer out there.

Strung out and shrieking against fate is no way to be going through life.

Possibly... my problem is with a bunch of crazies always yelling, “Death to America” and tied into Russia and China. Sooner or later, this had to be addressed. I’m not huge on war unless we’re either forced or a directly adjacent neighbor. I suppose that, strategically, it was booound to happen, but Graham, Bolton and Boies make me nervous... then again, they may have a hammer over their head with some potential news.

As usual.

One thing the tolerant left won’t tolerate is diversity of thought.

[irishjuggler]

Oh yeah? And Reagan was cutting deals with Iran a few years later, not declaring war. Why not do this rewind in Trump’s first term? You guys are grasping at straws to justify Bibi’s war. The whole freaking world except the gullible folks around here knows that Trump was somehow forced into this by Bibi
