>Bill Kristol is a former conservative and neocon who was the founder of the Weekly Standard, a prominent conservative magazine from 1995 to 2018 when it closed after all of its writers went Never-Trump. It was a product no one wanted. >Since President Trump came on the scene in 2015, Bill Kristol lost his mind, and this onetime prominent “conservative” did all he could to trash Donald Trump and smear his movement. >Bill Kristol and the Weekly Standard were no fans of The Gateway Pundit. >Kristol is the founding director of Republican Voters Against Trump, a project of Defending Democracy Together, launched in May 2020. >On October 15, 2024, Kristol voted for the Democratic ticket. >He stated at the time on X, "Just filled out my early absentee ballot in VA for Joe Biden & Kamala Harris, Mark Warner, and Jennifer Wexton. No regrets at all about this." >This week, we found out what we all suspected—Bill Kristol has been paid handsomely for sh*tting on President Trump for over eight years now. >In fact, Bill Kristol's group, the Defending Democracy Together Institute, received big money indirectly from USAID through Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. >Data Republican reported on this this past weekend. >>Hello Mr. Kristol, >>For you, the deep state is preferable because you are listed as the President of Defending Democracy (EIN 831567380) which is an indirect beneficiary of USAID through Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. >>You are exposed. >. .
