Bill Kristol is Dragged for an Old Post Comparing Afghan Refugees to Charlie Kirk and We're Here for It

Wow, there are poorly aged posts on Twitter/X and then there is whatever this is…

Every Afghan refugee coming to America--and it would be great if we could help as many as "a couple hundred thousand" to escape--will have done more to help American troops, and American civilians serving our country, than Charlie Kirk every has. https://t.co/CdKZCCm2BO

Oy vey. A bit of advice, Bill, in case you end up reading this: It is almost never a good idea to speak about a large group of people with absolute language. Don’t say ‘every,’ ‘all’ or even words like ‘none’—with the big exception being concepts that are true by definition. So writing ‘all Christians are dumb’ is itself dumb. On the other hand, saying ‘all Christians believe in Jesus?’ Well, that’s kind of baked into the definition.

Anyway, that idiot post was published at 2:59 p.m. on August 16, 2021—long before Charlie Kirk died, or the shooting of two members of West Virginia’s National Guard, stationed in Washington, D.C. And maybe he realized belatedly he said something stupid, because he wrote this a minute later:

Almost every Afghan refugee will turn out to be so much better an American than Charlie Kirk. https://t.co/CdKZCCm2BO

So at least he is qualifying his terms. Still this has aged like limburger cheese left on a sidewalk in Dallas, Texas, during a record heat wage.

(We speak from experience on that point. We needed years of therapy.)

And just to give credit where credit is due, it was ‘Amuse’ that alerted us to the second post. And in the process of looking for that we found the other, dumber one.

Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.
