This isn't specifically about this article but I though you would find it interesting. I have been a member of the Metropolitan Republican Club in Manhattan for more than 40 years and a member of its Executive Committee for more than 30. I also served as treasurer from 2015 to 2019. The Club holds an annual fund-raising dinner that in the past century has featured GOP luminaries in the state such as Dewey, Rockefeller, Javits, Lindsay (he was a Republican congressman before becoming a Democrat), Pataki, Giuliani. The Club will hold its dinner next week and has announced who will the next to join this illustrious list.
Steve Bannon
Not only will Bannon be the honoree and receive an award, but so will his wingman Peter Navarro. Needless to say, this is a significant departure for an institution that has generally been viewed as firmly establishment to the point of being staid.
When you listed the Rs who have been featured, a few of whom I actually voted for though I was a nominal D, I thought you were going to say Cheney or Kizinger or one of the sane ones. Steve Bannon!!!! The man who stole money people donated to him, who's on record as saying "Burn it all down", who will be sent to jail soon, etc. "Significant departure"? How about they're flipping crazy?! It's official - the R Party is dead. Pity there aren't ghosts - every decent R beginning with Lincoln be haunting every single R in power.
