Mark Steyn Understands Our Republic's Memento Mori

Mark Steyn: Hillary Presidency Would Be ‘Death of the Republic,’ ‘Descent Into Banana Republic’

by | May 16th, 2016

Filling in for Rush Limbaugh Monday morning, conservative author and pundit Mark Steyn tore into Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, promising her presidency would destroy American democracy as we know it.
Steyn began by bringing up the Clinton Foundation, which he called a barely-concealed platform for the rich and powerful to buy access under the facade of charity. “It’s corrupt. It’s stingily corrupt, it’s obviously corrupt,” he said.

He bashed conservatives like Max Boot and P.J. O’Rourke who say they would likely vote for Clinton because of concerns over Trump’s foreign policy. “Hillary is the embodiment of corruption and therefore the death of the republic,” he argued.
