The following steaming pile was uttered about a man with an Orthodox Jewish daughter and son-in-law and who also moved the US embassy in Israel to the city Israel calls its capital.
Former governor of Massachusetts and 2020 Republican presidential candidate Bill Weld said President Trump would prefer a “Aryan nation” during a Q&A at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute.
“I celebrate that America has always been a melting pot. It seems he [Trump] would prefer an Aryan nation. I know that sounds strong and tough but he’s very interested in bloodlines and it has resonance,” Weld said during while reading a prepared description of his platform at the institute’s “Getting to the Point” program on May 21.

Weld was governor of MA from '91-'97. He seemed normal back then. TDS has taken its toll.
Weld is the issue of an ethnic and social subculture which may have it's talents and virtues but suffers from a deficit of a quality you might call 'seriousness of mind'. And it did so even in an era when its members received doses of a sort of liberal education it is rare to have nowadays.
Prior to 1980, there was conflict in Republican circles between soi-disant 'conservatives' and the rest of the party. The conservative perspective was articulated in the issue of policy shops (AEI, Hoover, Heritage, EPPC &c) and in the periodical press (National Review, The American Spectator, Modern Age, and, as time wore on, The Public Interest, Commentary, and, still later, The New Criterion, The Claremont Review, City Journal). Now, what were the analogous institutions on the other side of the divide that people like Wm. Scranton and John Chafee could draw on? There weren't any. The fried cakes they were selling in New England and in the BosWash corridor were always more hole than doughnut.
