Bill Kristol urges Democrats to stop internal feuds and focus on Trump

Bill Kristol warns that Democratic infighting distracts from confronting Donald Trump and his administration’s alleged misconduct.

In a recent commentary, Bill Kristol contends that Democrats are preoccupied with internal battles rather than focusing on Donald Trump and the corruption he represents. He points to recent incidents, such as Doug Burgum’s reinforcement of false statements about the Reflecting Pool and Todd Blanche’s bogus IRS document linked to the Jan. 6 funding controversy, as evidence of the administration’s deceit. Kristol questions Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s decision to strike a deal with Republicans to avert a government shutdown.

He also highlights Max Miller’s emergence as a national story and Tim Miller’s remarks about being drawn into the Michigan Senate contest, as well as AIPAC’s substantial financial support for candidate Haley Stevens. Kristol calls for unity within the party to keep the focus on Trump’s alleged wrongdoing.
