Laura Field asks what the hell has happened to the Claremont Institute, that right-wing think tank that used to pretend it was defending civility, civilization, against barbarians, emulating prudent and civil George Washingon.
As Daniel W. Drezner says, is is now “the poster child for the devolution of conservative thought.”

Katherine Stewart's answer to the question of what happened to Claremont Institute — "The saga of the Claremont Institute in the Trump years is readily told as one of moral collapse." All that pretend civility of its origins flew out the window the moment their man Trump "descended that golden escalator with a mouthful of hateful rhetoric." What we are seeing now is the ugly face unmasked, the face that was always there.
