If you’ve been following prominent legal scholar Alan Dershowitz for any length of time, you’ve likely noticed that not only is he an avid supporter of the Constitution but, particularly since October 7th, an outspoken critic of his own party’s shocking embrace of Hamas and rejection of Israel as demonstrated in increasing and vocal antiSemitism among prominent (and not so prominent) Democrats.
He’s finally had enough. He’s left the Democrat party and become an Independent.
Obviously, he’s not about to jump on the Trump train, but he suggests that he may be willing to vote for Trump.
He says in the radio interview that he hasn’t decided how he’ll vote and likely won’t until November 1st, at any rate, so he’s open to voting for Trump (to voting his conscience?).
Renowned legal scholar Alan Dershowitz recently announced that he is leaving the Democratic Party, after being “disgusted” by what he witnessed at last month’s Democratic National Convention. The retired Harvard Law School professor, who is a longtime self-described liberal Democrat, told radio host Zev Brenner on Aug. 23 that he felt the Chicago gathering was “the worst convention in American history” because of the number of speakers who have publicly expressed opposition to Israel. “They had more anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist people who were speaking, starting with [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] – a miserable, anti-Zionist bigot,” Dershowitz said during an appearance on “Talkline with Zev Brenner.” “Then of course they had [Sen. Elizabeth] Warren, who is one of the most anti-Jewish people in the Senate. Then they had Bernie Sanders, one of the most anti-Jewish people in the Senate.”. . . . “I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention,” he added. “Absolutely disgusted.”“I am no longer a Democrat. I am an independent,” he continued, without revealing who he plans on voting for on Election Day. “I’ll decide who to vote for at the last minute based on the totality of the circumstances,” Dershowitz explained. “I want to see how they deal with Iran. I want to see how they deal with Iran attacks on the United States. I want to encourage the current administration to support Israel. So I’m not revealing my vote until you know, maybe Nov. 1.” . . . . “I cannot be associated with the party that features as its speakers, AOC, [Al] Sharpton, Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders,” he said. “That’s not my party.”
Good for him. This is a brave and bold move for any Democrat, particularly a lifelong one who clung desperately to JFK’s Democrat Party for years, long after it became obvious to the rest of us that the new Democrat party is a radical, racist, antiSemitic, anti- and un-American disaster.
