So-called “conservative” commentator Bill Kristol reportedly has his never-ending campaign to take down President Donald Trump receive funding from a left-wing billionaire.
But despite its name, the group seems to have no Republican donors according to a report by Julie Kelly of American Greatness, though there is one prominent benefactor: progressive billionaire Pierre Omidyar, the co-founder of eBay.
One of Omidyar’s nonprofits, the Democracy Fund, has given Kristol’s umbrella group, Defending Democracy Together, at least $600,000 since May, according to the report. National Review contributor Mona Charen, Republican strategist Linda Chavez, and former Republican governor Christine Todd Whitman are just some of the other Never-Trumpers who are part of the group with Kristol.
Omidyar, 51, and his wife, have been heavily involved in “funding dissident ex-conservatives,” according to Kelly who noted that the couple have been “among the most prolific supporters of left-wing causes for years.”
