He's not on the opposite side of the political spectrum from Harris. They strongly agree on many issues and are good friends. People keep talking as if Murray was some kind of rival or that Harris was laughing at the stupidity of what he was saying. Far from it. They're in strong agreement about all this stuff.
This was not a guest he "disagreed with"......... Watch the rest of the podcast.
I watched much of the podcast and yes, they do agree on some matters. Specifically about the regressive left and that political correctness is a problem. Some republicans are actually married to Democrats like James Carville so I see no issue with being friends with someone with whom you disagree with in some areas. I will try looking into Douglas Murray some more as I had not heard of him before this.
Harris has been the victim of an intentional smear campaign from the left where his words were purposefully misinterpreted and lies were spread about him so I think he is probably going to be friendly with people who disparage the regressive left and laugh at their jokes about political correctness. I don't see why it makes sense take the least charitable interpretation of a tiny part of a long conversation he had as proof positive that he is an ignorant bigot.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
