Alyssa Farah: ‘There Is a Brain Rot and a Moral Rot on Some of the American Right’

‘When you see someone like Newt Gingrich, a former speaker of the House, somebody who would have been a huge NATO proponent, basically comparing Alexei Navalny‘s death to the persecution of Donald Trump, we are very far gone’

EXCERPT:

FARAH GRIFFIN: "Well, it's not good for him. I slightly disagree with John Bolton here. I do think he doesn‘t have core policy viewpoints. I don‘t know that I think he has a strong moral compass in any manner really, but he is drawn to personalities and he‘s drawn to people who he likes the way they speak, he like that‘s the way they lead and they present. And again, that is why he likes strongmen. He praises Xi, he praises Kim Jong-un, he sees them as strong leaders who challenge their people and try to rule with an iron fist. That does resonate with him. I think that this comes down to the fact he‘s always hesitated to criticize the Kremlin. He‘s always hesitated to criticize Putin. And this goes a bit deeper. There is a brain rot and a moral rot on some of the American right, right now. When you see someone like Newt Gingrich, a former speaker of the House, somebody who would have been a huge NATO proponent, basically comparing Alexei Navalny‘s death to the persecution of Donald Trump, we are very far gone.”
