Conservative New York Times columnist Ross Douthat on Tuesday slammed Republican megadonor Ken Griffin’s “indefensibly stupid” $300,000,000 gift to Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
“The fact that Griffin is presumably ‘fiscally conservative but socially liberal’ provides some vague way of reconciling this with his support for Ron DeSantis, but really if you’re any kind of Republican in 2023 this sort of giving is indefensibly stupid,” Douthat tweeted.
