Former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz became extremely unpopular with the progressive left when he joined former President Donald Trump’s defense team in 2020 because he placed principles before partisanship, he believes. “Utterly unprincipled partisanship” has taken over, Dershowitz says, which will have a lasting detrimental effect on our nation.
“I think this trend toward the new McCarthyism on the hard left is going to be enduring because it’s being taught in universities today, to our future leaders,” Dershowitz said during an interview with EpochTV’s American Thought Leaders that will premiere Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m.
