“Rufo confuses his Communist Italian family with the democratic socialist left. I’m no more tied to Marcuse than the right is tied to Reagan. I’d suggest a good counselor to understand where his real issues lie and desist with the damage he is inflicting with his clever turn of phrases that are paving the way for authoritarians and a Hungarian like non-democracy . You didn’t ask him about Tulsa’s Greenwood when he was wistful about black enterprise, and if the black community there deserved some reparation consideration. I wished you’d pushed him about corporations acceding to woke in the HR department made no difference to their bottom line (Bud lite the exception). And I was shocked to hear that the middle class in Youngstown is better off than the middle classes in Europe, who have healthcare, affordable education and other strong safety net access. I was glad to hear an acknowledgement that he Catholic Church is a groomer organization if we’re talking about grooming - it’s probably the largest in the world. I heard no solutions to the environmental crisis, polarization in society and in congress, the debt and deficit or anything else, just a clever spin that’s going to reward him with access to Harlan Crow type vacations. Maybe Crow’s private jet will refuel in Italy and pick up Rufo’s relatives so he can say ‘I told you so.’”
