Bill Kristol Trolls Hillary Supporters By Running A Fake Op-Ed From Her

Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol on ABC's "This Week."

Bill Kristol decided to have some fun on Tuesday by introducing a new contributor to his neoconservative magazine — Hillary Clinton.

Dubbing it a “special guest editorial on President Obama’s foreign policy failures,” The Weekly Standard posted excerpts from Clinton’s latest interview with Jeffery Goldberg in The Atlantic.

“I think it was the great Maimonides who taught us, ‘You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes,'” Kristol joked in the editor’s note.

Clinton has indeed drawn attention for her remarks on Obama’s foreign policy — such as her critique of the administration’s refusal to intervene more in Syria.

The mock editorial comes the same day that Democratic strategist and fellow-former Obama official David Axelrod and the liberal MoveOn.org went after Clinton for her criticism of Obama’s foreign policy.

  1. Correction. Hillary trolled Kristol.

  2. Every time Bill Kristol goes to speak they need to have a scroll go across with everything he has said in the past that was wrong, I know they wont even put in a dent in it during the show, or better yet how about not letting a guy who is wrong all the time keep going off as if he isn’t.

    It would be like hiring a plumber who floods your house every time but you keep bringing him back.

    Though in this case they don’t care about the damage the flood brings, as long as it gets them something to talk about and ratings.

    If it wasn’t for Bill Kristol we wouldn’t know what the opposite of correct was.

  5. Sure fire investment opportunity: Buy Bill Kristol for what he’s worth. Sell him for what he thinks he’s worth. You’ve locked in a sure profit!
