Quote:
Republicans for the Rule of Law is the principal initiative of the conservative, anti-Donald Trump political group Defending Democracy Together, founded by Bill Kristol, Mona Charen, Linda Chavez, Sarah Longwell, and Andy Zwick in 2019. The project, a 501(c)(4) (social welfare) group, created an advertising campaign to pressure Republican members of Congress to "demand the facts" about the Trump-Ukraine scandal during the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump.
Her group is funded by liberals - https://www.influencewatch.org/non-p...e-rule-of-law/

Quote:
While RRL claims to be a Republican-aligned organization, its parent Defending Democracy Together has taken substantial funding from liberal eBay billionaire Pierre Omidyar’s nonprofit network and the Hopewell Fund, part of the Arabella Advisors network of liberal “dark money” groups.

However, like the Lincoln Project Republicans and guys like Mitt Romney, the McCains and others. She feels like Trump is too big of a slime ball as a person to support.

Here are a couple of Books she has written:

Mona Charen? That fire-breathing conservative columnist? As well as Bill Kristol and Linda Chavez. All movement conservatives since the 80s. Who would imagine that they'd sign on for this...

Yep that's the one. I don't know which thing is funnier. That the Trumpsters thought that Bebop wrote it himself or that the Trumpsters had no clue who Mona Charen is.

It makes you realize that these people have no clue about Trump's dubious history.

Who thought the OP wrote anything that had more than 3 coherent and grammatically correct sentences strung together? You?

You should also do a little more research on Mona.

She's played both sides for a paycheck and for years.

No, one of your Trump buddies thought he wrote it.

And please, put up a link of a column where Mona was playing for the libs.

Nah, you guys will just stick Mona in the same place you put Mitt, and Jeff Flake, the McCains, and anybody else who is honest enough to admit that Trump is a sleazy, dishonest dude and shouldn't be running the country.

No, you are voting for pro-abortion Kamala.

No one thought they are the words of the OP, and Charen is well known.

It is an embarrassingly lame piece of writing, the above facts don't change that.

No thinking conservative, pro life or otherwise, is voting for Biden.

Funny, as the article describes Joe Biden perfectly.

Moreover, it's insane to tout that the author claims to be "pro-life" and then offers support for a candidate (and party) that supports abortion on demand; it used to be that Democrats at least paid lip service to the "abortion should be rare," but even that lip service has gone out the window.
