What Happened to Charlie Sykes?
20th March 2023
Where is Charlie Sykes’ in-depth analysis of U.S. foreign policy? If he’s written one, I missed it, but what we get from him instead is a parroting of MSNBC talking points about Trump “channeling Kremlin propaganda,” as if it were impossible to criticize U.S. policy without being a pro-Putin stooge. But the real bottom line is this: Sykes voted for Biden, and is defending Biden’s policy in toto — to criticize Biden is tantamount to treason, according to Sykes’ brand of True Conservative™ principles.
Beyond the matter of Ukraine and Russia, aside from any consideration of policy, foreign or domestic, there remains the disturbing question: What the hell happened to Charlie Sykes?
He joined the Kristol Krew, and was seduced by the Dark Side.

I live in Milwaukee where Charlie Sykes was on local talk radio as a conservative Republican. After Donald Trump was elected he quit his job because he felt that he couldn’t criticize a Republican president (or else it was sour grapes). I can’t believe he voted for Bidung, but after that I’ve lost all respect for the guy. Sorry Charlie…
