Andrew Sullivan Holds Nothing Back - Ep 117

Andrew Sullivan’s new book,  Out on a Limb: Selected Writing 1989-2021 captures the best of his three decade quest to identify and share The Truth with his readers. Because his philosophy does not adhere to the predominant narrative of either the Left or the Right, Andrew has made many enemies over the years. He has been called a flaming liberal, a nazi, a misgoynist, a white supremacist, a homophobe, and the Anti-Christ, which is pretty ironic given that he is both gay and a devout Catholic. Yet he forged—and still forges—on, enduring the inevitable slings and arrows that come at anyone who says what few others have the courage or wisdom to articulate. As he shares in this discussion, Andrew writes from a visceral need to make sense of issues that trouble him on a gut level. His work spans social issues from domestic and international politics, to AIDS, religion, cancel culture, and Monica Lewinsky.  Andrew was editor of The New Republic for five years and was a vocal voice in support of gay marriage going back to 1989 when the concept was a pipe dream. His work has appeared in dozens of outlets, including the Time, Salon, New York Times, The Sunday Times, andThe Atlantic. In addition to the new release, his previous books include The Conservative Soul, Virtually Normal, Love Undetectable.  Subscribe to The Dish here. Follow Andrew on Twitter. Click HERE to ✍️ RATE / REVIEW Crazy Money! CONNECT WITH PAUL: 📸 Instagram: >> https://www.instagram.com/crazymoneypodcast/ >> E-mail Paul 🌍 Facebook (Crazy Money Listeners Group): >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/446049973036596  About Crazy Money: Unlike traditional personal finance shows, Crazy Money is not about how to make a million bucks, how to beat the stock market, or how to save money by switching credit cards.
