In a surprising turn of events, Naomi Wolf, a renowned liberal icon and feminist author, has publicly endorsed former President Donald Trump, praising his efforts to foster inclusivity.
Wolf, who has previously served as a presidential campaign advisor for former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore, expressed her support for Trump during an interview with Steve Bannon on the War Room podcast.
According to Breitbart, Wolf was questioned by Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, about her endorsement of Trump. She responded by emphasizing the transformation of the Republican Party into a "unity party," with Trump at its helm.
"President Trump did something very smart," Wolf stated, drawing attention to his strategic alliances with figures such as former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (R-HI), and business magnate Elon Musk. "He's being more inclusive," she added.
Wolf further elaborated on Trump's inclusive approach, stating, "He's speaking out to the concerns of black people, white people, Puerto Rican people, Hispanic people of all kinds, women, men, it doesn't matter. You guys have become the unity party, and he's leading the unity party, and I would be an idiot if I didn't recognize that."
Bannon, intrigued by Wolf's endorsement, asked her about the factors that led a prominent figure in the feminist and progressive movements to support Trump. Wolf responded by citing a personal experience that changed her perception of the former president.
"It's a number of things, honestly," Wolf began. "I mean one of them is, a good friend of mine brought me to listen to President Trump speak. And, it was in Bedminster and he was speaking to a bunch of orthodox Jews about peace in the Middle East, and what he had to say about no more wars and about bringing an end to the conflict in that region."
Wolf was deeply moved by the reaction of the audience, who have been persecuted and harassed for millennia, to Trump's plans for peace. She expressed that her previous understanding of Trump was heavily influenced by the legacy media, which portrayed him as a fascist, misogynist, and racist.
"I saw someone who was eloquent, articulate, thoughtful, very funny. Not every joke he makes I wouldve endorsed. He was talking about he was serious. He was a serious person talking seriously about peace in the Middle East, about saving lives, innocent lives Palestinian and Israeli. And, how can that not be good?" Wolf said.
Wolf, the author of "Facing the Beast: Courage, Faith, and Resistance in a New Dark Age," has previously written an essay apologizing to conservatives for the Democrat Partys reaction to the video footage of the January 6, 2021 riot at the United States Capitol. Her endorsement of Trump, a figure often criticized by liberals, underscores the complexity of political affiliations and the potential for unexpected alliances in the pursuit of shared goals.
