Conservative pundits don’t get much more famous than George Will, a Pulitzer Prize winner who has been churning out columns for the Washington Post since 1974, and somehow seems to appear on television, between ABC News and Fox News, more often than he writes. In an appearance Wednesday night on CNBC, he was asked about David Brooks’ column predicting a “GOP apocalypse,” and made a surprising statement. Watch:

“In fact, young people have made up their mind about the Republican Party,” he said, “that it’s kind of the dumb party.”

In a separate appearance on MSNBC, Will reiterated that he no longer considers himself a Republican, which is not surprising since he encouraged his readers to vote against the GOP before the 2018 midterms.
