Bill Kristol-Led PAC Vows to Spend $2 Million Against Kari Lake
The News Network ^ | August 26,2022 | Peter D'Abrosca

An anti-Trump blogger who presided over the demise of The Weekly Standard and now works at a neoconservative outfit called The Bulwark is leading a supposed “Republican” effort against Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.

The Republican Accountability Project (RAP), which is funded by rich leftists and run by Trump-hater Bill Kristol, will reportedly spend two million dollars through its Political Action Committee (PAC) to defeat Lake in the upcoming November election.

William Kristol is a founding director of Defending Democracy Together and chairman of the board for the Republican Accountability Project,” according to RAP’s website.

Lake is herself a Trump-esque figure, vowing to put America First and tackle hard-line issues like immigration and abortion. RAP describes itself as “a project of Defending Democracy Together” (DDT), another one of Kristol’s projects. Arizona Free News reports that RAP is funded by left-wing Kathryn Murdoch, daughter-in-law of former Fox News kingpin Rupert Murdoch, along with John Pritzker, a relative of former Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, and Sue Mandel, director of notable far-left group the ZOOM Foundation.

Those three donors have given Kristol’s group $1 million each. More left-wing donors have given the Trump-obsessed writer and his newest group amounts in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. DDT is also funded by left-wingers, most notably billionaire mega-donor and founder of eBay Pierre Omidyar, who reportedly gave the group at least $600,000 through his nonprofit called Democracy Fund Voice. How that money was spent remains unclear.

Recently, Kristol celebrated the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, continuing to spread the completely discredited conspiracy theory of “Russian collusion.” “Worried much? What docs could the FBI have found? Translator’s notes from Putin meeting? MBS-related financial docs?” he said, attaching Trump’s response to the raid. “Quid-pro-quo offers from foreign dictators? Reports from DHS or other officials on domestic illegal activities done at Trump’s request? Who knows? The FBI does.”

I don’t know why I never realized years ago that Kristol was a DNC spy,

Should’ve been obvious from his insipid commentary on This Week with David Brinkley.

Kristol is a Lincoln Project a-hole.

Nothing warms my heart more than watching the likes of Kristol waste his money.

MAGA, Arizona! :)

Trump pulled the curtain, like Toto did.

The ONLY time Democrats do this to their own is when a Pro-Life Democrat “accidentally” gets the nomination.

Kristol would rather have the Dems running the Senate over having even a MAGA caucus within it.

Kari Lake has the hand of God upon her. Nothing that comes against her will prosper.

She apparently poses a threat to the deep state and the Great Reset.

Wasting a lot of it too!

Kristol is scum. You would think he would support some sort of GOP cohort out of the interest of self-preservation. Leftists hate Jews.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Most of the Jews in this country would vote for the next holocaust without knowing it.

Must be something to love money and power that much to do that.

Has anyone ever gone back and compared these announcements to actual contribution and expenditure disclosures? Methinks that there may be a lot of “Bill Kristol vows to spend X....” announcments that never actually come to be.

As I stated immediately after the primary;
Now Kari and the other MAGA-Republicans not only have to defeat Katie Hobbs and the Democrats, but the GOPe/Vichy Republicans too.
Both are going to be like a wounded buffalo.

I am worried. If MAGA-Republican ticket loses here, Arizona will be completely and irreversibly Californicated.

Besides all of the legitimate name calling, the question that we should be putting to Mr NeverTrump is “What are you for?”

Kristols’ tired, last-century cut taxes, cut regulations, open borders, free markets stuff is just a mask for America Last Globalism.

He needs to be called out, at every turn, on that point.

In the last election, if you didn’t vote Trump, you are to blame. No matter what your Trump hate was based on, there was no legitimate reason to vote Dementia Joe. Any vote for any “Other” was a No-vote for our PDJT The GOAT.

It’s MAGA now, bitches!

I don't think it is primarily love of power and money. I have known too many Jews of ordinary means who lean left or RINO. It is just a different worldview and set of presuppositions.

I believe you have stated their goal. Ruin Arizona permanently like Kalifornika has been.

In a just and good USA no Marxist or RINO would ever be permitted to run for any office in the land. They are the opposite of American. They are literally Anti-American.

This infestation of these vile creatures in the problem that must be purged from all levels of government for America to stay America otherwise it will descend into the 4th Reich mixed with full blown communism where the government has all the power the people have none.
