"Renegade Jew" Kristol Lashes out at Trump... Gets Steam-Rolled By Social Media

Speaking of Editor at Large of Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol, otherwise known, as an avid Never-Trumper, and whom I lovingly call a renegade Jew(...), posted a rather sanctimonious question on Twitter asking conservatives who are “rationalizing” Trump’s presidency if they know they are wrong.
Honest Q for conservatives who aren't just working with or around Trump, but rationalizing him: In your heart, don't you know you're wrong?
Brit Hume replied to Kristol’s query by effectively noting that for Trump supporters, actions speak louder than words - no joke...
Actually Bill, some of us think there's more to the man than his outlandish comments, e.g. his cabinet, his regulatory moves, leg. agenda. https://twitter.com/billkristol/status/833318194689560577 
Anyway, the response prompted ABC News’ chief political analyst Matthew Dowd to pipe in, speaking of “values” as he asked if “words matter?” - which coming from an reporter is rich...
@brithume @Jrock41S don't we teach our children that words matter? That they signal of who we are and what we value? Leaders lead w/ values

Thankfully, social media users were quick to agree with Hume’s assessment… 
here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:
@brithume @seanmdav No one could be as successful in business as Trump without a first class mind. And cool hair.
@brithume @jtf18james This coming from a man, Bill Kristol who has been totally wrong on Trump from the beginning but keeps analyzing
@brithume I agree. Many of us who supported one of the other GOP candidates do believe @POTUS is good for USA, far better than HRC!
@brithume A President finally taking on the media is worth something.
@brithume I am not a fan of the bombast, etc. but very pleased with Gorsuch, Sessions, Mattis, DeVos picks
@brithume @billkristol There is substance there. Kind of nice to have a common man (despite the $$) in WH for a change. Elitist much, Bill?
@Ziggyfan_1 @brithume @BillKristol One wonders when the last time Bill actually had a conversation with anyone in "fly over country"?
@brithume @irishspy Bill Kristol has lost objectivity. I share Mr. Humes sentiment. I was skeptical of Trump. Now I have a pragmatic view.

@brithume That's why you're so beloved, Brit. Please don't go away. The media needs your voice to maintain some semblance of relevance.
