George Will on why he left the GOP: "I'm a conservative"

“I left it for the same reason I joined it in 1964,” he said. “I joined it because I’m a conservative. I leave it for the same reason, that I’m a conservative.”

Will explained that the final straw for him was when, right after Trump attacked a Hispanic judge on the basis of his ethnicity, Paul Ryan endorsed him. And that was after Will’s concerns about Ryan touting “common principles” with Trump.

He said, “I decided that, in fact, this is not my party anymore.”
