Dear Michelle Goldberg

Dear Michelle Goldberg,
You write that in the age of Trump, it's difficult to know what conservative voices are serious enough to engage. Maybe so, but let's get one thing straight.
If the Atlantic was truly serious about providing genuine conservative voices, they would have hired a genuine conservative instead of a right wing, racist, homophobic, misogynist blowhard like Kevin Williamson. So what if Williamson can turn a phrase? He doesn't have opinions. He merely has prejudices.
You want a real conservative voice to engage with? I'd suggest Colin Powell, someone I strongly disagree with on many issues, someone who made a spectacular error in judgment in making a case at the UN for Saddam's non-existent weapons of mass destruction, but also someone who has both the intelligence and experience to deserve to be listened to.
Love,
trustier
