Fox News contributor Alan Dershowitz says in a new interview that the treatment he receives from his fellow Democrats over his comments about Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation is worse than what he received for his successful defense of former NFL star O.J. Simpson.
In an interview with The New York Times, Dershowitz discussed the fallout he had received after penning a recent column for The Hill arguing that President Trump was the victim of McCarthyite tactics employed by Mueller.
“I’m enjoying this,” Dershowitz said. “It’s a red badge of courage.”
"This is much worse than all that, because in those cases people were critical of me, but they were prepared to discuss it," he added. "They were prepared to have a dialogue.
Dershowitz tied the chilly reception he says he received in Martha's Vineyard to his frequent criticism of college "safe space" policies.
"Here, the people that I’m objecting to want to stop the dialogue. They don’t want to have the conversation. It will upset people at the dinner party or on the porch. This is like safe spaces in colleges," he said.
"Today the passions are so strong that if I do anything that is perceived as helping Donald Trump, I am an evil conspirator," Dershowitz added.
Dershowitz claimed in his opinion piece for The Hill that old colleagues and friends had decided to "shun" him for his views about the Mueller investigation, which he has said should end.
“At a party this week on Martha’s Vineyard, a woman said, 'If Dershowitz were here tonight, I’d stab him through the heart,” he said on Fox News’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Thursday.
The commentary resulted in mockery on social media and on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," where Dershowitz was chided by the show's host Joe Scarborough for being Trump's "mouthpiece."
“I’m just not sure how this goes down in steel country,” added BBC World News reporter Katty Kay, a guest on the program. “Are they sitting there in Lorain, Ohio, saying ‘Oh my god, we’re so sorry that Mr. Dershowitz has come into trouble because he’s opposed the Mueller investigation.'”
Or defending Epstein and flying on his plane.
Hey Alan, just walkaway
Welcome to the Party, Pal.
Think of John Adams representing the Redcoats at the Boston Massacre.

More from the “love trumps hate crowd”
The Hate America Demonicrats are becoming terrorists.
There is a answer # walk away
Perhaps he will figure out that all the Dems have is hate and anger.
The Lefties are losing badly on all fronts and they’re in retreat everywhere. They don’t like it.
Boo-hoo. Just walkaway, Dershowitz. Who give a flying rats’ rearend about the MV crowd scumbags?
If anyone wonders why not one liberal has condemned these actions, it’s because they support it. They hope it gets worse. They even hope a member of the herd breaks free and becomes an assassin. And it will happen. The useful idiots out in the streets believe everything said about Trump.
Morning Joe, the dumbass, proved Dershowitz is telling the truth by attacking him for telling the truth.
““At a party this week on Martha’s Vineyard, a woman said, ‘If Dershowitz were here tonight, I’d stab him through the heart,””
What does it take for Dipshitowitz to get a clue what kind of democrat scum he has been hanging with and supporting all these years?
This man will be Demolished. He will be branded as a Nazi, Racist, KKK Member, wife beater, anti-Gay, Anti- American and a treasonous dog. His life as he knew it is finished! Welcome to our world!
Nice “friends” you got there, Dersh. But you knew they were scum anyway, so...
OJ is a psycho. There is no defense.
Welcome to the club Alan.
#WalkAway, Alan. Hard to admit you are a Deplorable, isn’t it? But don’t let the Commies get you down. You are welcome at our BBQs any time, and we are even happy to discuss ideas. Embrace your inner Deplorable and find true freedom.
I can’t say that I feel sorry for him. After all, he’s definitely an old dog that hasn’t learned anything new about the Left in over thirty or forty years in his career and public life. His observational skills, and deductive reasoning skills are sorely lacking.
