Neoconservative “Never Trumper” Bill Kristol endorsed socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, saying he wishes he was less “against Israel and all that” but calling him “a very impressive politician.”
In an October 9 interview with Claremont McKenna College (CMC) student newspaper The Forum, the ex-Republican political commentator described the prospect of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo becoming mayor as “ridiculous.”

“You know, New York City gets to have a left-wing mayor,” Kristol told the outlet, which noted that he serves as chairman of the CMC center that hosts the student publication.
“It’s not the first time, and it’s different from the rest of the country. I wish they were a little less, you know, tolerant of certain things—on Israel, and so, against Israel and all that. But some of the economic stuff, I think, is just silly, but I don’t think it’s going to matter,” he continued.
When asked directly if he would vote for Mamdani if he lived in New York City, where he was born and raised, Kristol replied, “You know, I think so.”
“I really can’t think—the idea of going back to Cuomo is just, I think, ridiculous,” he argued. “I think if it had been the first round, I would’ve voted for someone else and maybe wouldn’t have even ranked Mamdani and would’ve had other people who were more centrist, liberal types.”

I don’t know why Kristol hates America, but he does.
Kristol has lost his mind. Too bad. I used to think highly of him at one time.
OK, he’s officially senile.
Wow. Just removes all doubt now.
He should be kicked out of the Jewish People.
To think that bastard ever milked one single dollar out of any conservative.
He’s right up there with McCain in terms of evil.
Personally all soxialist groups in Americs need to he recognized as domestic terror groups and dismantled and leaders arrested. They are using our freedoms to gain power to remove those freedoms. We are guaranteed a certain form of government and socialism isn’t that form of government.
Why does any news outlet still brand Kristol as any type of “conservative”? He has absolutely no ties to any form of conservatism, even “neoconservatism” given his willingness to support an anti-Israel antisemite. He brands himself as conservative so he can continue his grift, but no one else should.
Trotskyite supports a commie ? I’m shocked
Couldn’t happen to a better city
<< Neoconservative >>
Not anymore. His TDS turned him from a neo into a Marxist.
I am not sure exactly WHEN Billy Kristol did it, BUT I am SURE he has now JUMPED THE SHARK!
He’s finally crawled into his own grave.
I subscribed to his magazine the first year it was out. Then quit. But he wasn’t a flaming idiot back then. Now? YEGADS!
If you didn’t already know what Bill Kristol was, you should know now.
Me too, once upon a time, then the cheese slipped off his cracker.
> …calling him “a very impressive politician.” <
Well, so was Hitler.
Demon possession is now complete.
Shhhh! It’s psyops stategery. I think Trump should say he endorses the commie. He might save NYC.
