Ignoring Trump's alleged absence during the pandemic, while joining his "Cult," is exactly the accusation leveled at me in a New Republic cover story by Ron Radosh and Sol Stern, who have called their attack, "Our Friend the Trump Propagandist."
How exactly is what I have written propaganda and not analysis? Instead, they are appalled by my failure to embrace the Democrat lie that Trump was AWOL during the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump is a figure in only three of the twelve chapters: as a voice for law and order during the Black Lives Matter insurrections, and as a target of the Democrat hate attempting to blame him for every death resulting from the virus.
Typical of leftists who have no self-awareness, Radosh and Stern accuse me of being belligerent and aggressive, as though Trump and I invented this political style; as though it is conservatives like us who have declared war on Democrats and not the other way around.
Here's the crucial part of the equation their account leaves out: Like Trump's political style, mine is reactive.
We were friends for 67 years, and went through the political wars, which he and Stern now disparage, together.
We remained friends and political allies through our transition from the anti-American left to the conservative right, until our differences over Trump's election created a wedge between us as Radosh returned to the left.
