When you’re as important to Conserving Conservatism as Bill Kristol is, it’s your patriotic duty to guide voters in the right direction.
Kristol understands that, and to that end, he’s decided to reveal which Virginia gubernatorial candidate has won the honor of his coveted vote.
You might want to sit down for this one:
Told the Post I'd be voting for @TerryMcAuliffe for governor. His opponent, @GlennYoungkin, embraces the model of @GovRonDeSantis and FL on COVID, and Sam Brownback and KS on fiscal policy. Ugh. Proven moderate competence > reckless right-wing pandering. https://t.co/ZmOhC0M575

Congratulations to Terry McAuliffe for officially earning Bill Kristol’s endorsement. It takes a special kind of person to win Bill Kristol’s heart.
Bill Kristol’s endorsement of McAuliffe is bizarre (so principally conservative!) and meaningless since he has minimal sway in the mvt / over GOP voters here in Virginia.
By all accounts, #VAgov is a statistical tie. Biden’s botching of AFGN isn’t unnoticed by NoVA voters… https://t.co/8H0vyOQOac

It’s almost sweet how much Bill thinks his endorsement makes a damn bit of difference to anyone. Although nothing could be as precious as Bill Kristol trying to pass himself off as a Principled Conservative™ — and the Washington Post trying to help him do it:
NEWS: @BillKristol endorses @TerryMcAuliffe over Donald Trump loyalist @GlennYoungkin.
“Youngkin has shown he is willing to embrace reckless economic policies and reckless public health policies… Who knows what he would do as governor?" #VAGovhttps://t.co/Muh8yor88Y

If you were wondering who's stupid enough to buy the media's line on DeSantis… https://t.co/xglhe7zI89

Terry McAuliffe? Competent? Moderate?
LOL
You should retire and avoid further embarassment, Bill. I mean good Lord. https://t.co/a3iBD5IxpL

Let's just say that if you're endorsing McAuliffe, the former Clinton bagman, you aren't conserving conservatism in any way, shape, or form.

You’re just a liberal Democrat.
