Erick Erickson: I spoke to a Trump friend who said Trump was bragging about using that word.

15. See my other post -- Erickson isn't a Trump-humper, I can say that much for him.

I disagree with him on nearly everything, but because I liked to research what the other side was saying and couldn't make myself go to the true shithole of the conservative Internet (whose name shall not be mentioned, but you know the forum), I did read and occasionally comment on Redstate (where Erickson started out) with my profile being truthful that I was a liberal. Every community has rules, and theirs allowed admitted liberals to respectfully debate if they didn't hide their affiliation and respected it was a conservative forum.

Compared to most material written by conservatives, Redstate managed to stay pretty center and not entirely "alt-right" -- yes they are conservatives, but they refused to allow Ron Paul to take over the party before, and were a key "Never Trump" group for a loooong time.

Erickson is definitely not our "friend". But he was vocal about the hypocrisy of a true dedicated Christian actually supporting Trump. I hate hypocrisy and admire people who stand by their convictions, and so as such I have to like that Erick spoke "truth to orangeness" (won't say "power&quot by calling him out before the election for "fostering dangerous strain of nationalism".
