of new york times described Never Trump supporter Charlie Sykes as a “racist” and exaggerated “false claims of voter fraud” in an article promoting support for Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. He accused him of promoting it.
This was the latest example of the left. in this case, times — Punishing former conservatives who are willing to take advantage of them despite their defections. Sykes will host an event for Harris in Wisconsin on Monday with former Rep. Liz Cheney.
of times I wrote Saturday:
During his heyday on Milwaukee radio, he regularly suggested that outside, shadowy forces were rigging votes to rig local elections, and he occasionally referenced his wife. [Michelle] President Obama uses the racist nickname “Mooch.” In 2009, he co-hosted an event for the anti-abortion group Wisconsin's “Right to Life” with Sarah Palin.
Sykes was a reliable voice for right-wing causes in Wisconsin until he emerged in 2016 as a leading conservative critic of Donald J. Trump's first presidential bid. He was instrumental in the political rise of Republican Sen. Ron Johnson and Gov. Scott Walker, but later fell out with him after supporting Mr. Trump.
More recently, Mr. Sykes wrote a book attacking Trump-aligned conservatives and became a commentator on the political right at MSNBC and the center-right news outlet Bulwark, which he founded in 2018 and left in February. . In 2021, Sykes announced he was no longer a Republican. This month, he said he would vote for Harris.
