Bill Kristol on Jimmy Kimmel: The Repeated Capitulation of Corporations to Trump, ‘Encourages Him To Do More’

‘This is a very bad pattern and it‘s getting worse’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KRISTOL: "Well. You know, representative. Massie actually has done things cast votes, introduced resolutions that have. Really discomforted. Trump and challenged him. We‘ll see if Ted Cruz does that. I‘m pretty skeptical. You know, just one other point. I was struck when you played the tape of Trump, going after John Karl. Pretty disgracefully, I would say. But whatever. You know, he cites his victories, the payments from ABC and CBS. Isn‘t there a lesson there? The bullying worked. And once some bullying works, you just keep bullies, keep on bullying. And so for me, so much of the story here, Jimmy Kimmel is a huge figure. I understand that and all that. But so much of the story is the progressive and repeated capitulation of corporations to Trump, which encourages him to do more and then sort of lays the groundwork for the next corporation to say, well, gee, I mean, if they if we conceded on this, how are we going to stand up on that? Or how is the other one going to stand up on that? So that for me, this is a it‘s a very bad pattern and it‘s getting worse."
