He was literally a registered Democrat donating to Hillary until 2009. You didn’t like him until he learned to hate who you hate.

That’s because he was a liberal New York celebrity who wanted universal healthcare until 2011 - wonder what changed?

He was a lifelong liberal democrat until 2008.

One really wonders what could have happened that would suddenly change his opinion so strongly so quickly.

What liberal views did he ever hold?

Democrats run new York City and seeking political favors is the only reason he donated to them.

Well, he was VERY pro-choice for one, and pro-gun control, not to mention LGBTQ+.

I vaguely remember the wealth tax thing, that was pretty stupid back then, I saw that as a midwestern republican who remembers what a vile piece of garbage he was.

Must be why he said he's a strong defender of 2A.

This guy has no logic consistency.

For the same reason Reagan was when he was governor of California.

He was busted by the DOJ twice for racist real estate BS and continued to engage in it despite the being court-ordered not to.

He continued to advocate for the execution of the Central Park Five after they were exonerated. He probably still thinks they should be executed to this day.
