Becoming..

 

In an op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal entitled “Why I’m Becoming a Republican,” Dershowitz announced that he would be joining the Republican Party in protest over the opposition to Israel among some members of the Democratic Party.

The former Epstein lawyer and Harvard Law School professor explained that while he “strongly” opposed the Republican Party’s policies on abortion, immigration, healthcare, taxes, and other major issues, the Democratic Party was no longer sufficiently supportive of Israel and would therefore not be receiving his vote.

Citing the recent vote for a weapons embargo against Israel – which received the support of all but seven Senate Democrats – as well as polls which showed a growing opposition to Israel among Democrats of all ages, Dershowitz claimed that the Democratic Party had “become the most anti-Israel party in U.S. history.”

While Dershowitz defended President Donald Trump as a member of his legal team during his first impeachment in 2020, the lawyer endorsed former President Joe Biden in the 2020 election and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2008.
