Bill Kristol, arguably the Iraq War’s biggest cheerleader and President Trump’s staunchest critic, wants to help President-elect Joe Biden pass an immigration bill that includes amnesty.
Kristol’s announcement shows that the so-called conservative leaders of the Never-Trump movement are determined to keep the pressure on the Republican Party.
Politico’s Laura Barrón-López and Holly Otterbein report:
But how to do it is another story. After beating Trump and creating a permission structure for some GOP voters to back Biden, the task now, they said, is to turn back Republicans’ embrace of authoritarianism and transform their party in the process. But ask each of the never-Trump leaders what that means, and you get a different answer from each of them.
…
Bill Kristol, a leading figure in the anti-Trump movement, said that “never-Trump Republicans are a small but potentially important part of the overall Biden governing coalition.” If Biden tries to pass an immigration bill, for instance, they could help by touting provisions popular with Republicans and moderates.
“It could be ads. It could be private meetings. It could be talking to business leaders or to … members of Congress,” he said. “Never-Trumpers can help the Biden administration govern successfully.”
Though several of the never-Trumpers don’t consider themselves Democrats, they aren’t too concerned about the success of the current GOP, either. Edwards said all of the anti-Trump Republicans he knows want the Republican candidates in the Georgia Senate runoffs to lose because a GOP-controlled Senate will stymie a Biden agenda. And a do-nothing Biden presidency would optimize conditions for “another Trump” in four years, he said.
Kristol repeatedly provided justifications for a preemptive strike against Saddam Hussein in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq War. He served as a foreign policy advisor to Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign. He also frequently appeared as a commentator on Fox News until 2013 when the network didn’t renew his contract.
