George Will’s Wife Disagrees With His New Column For An Understandable Reason

In a column posted Tuesday, Will suggested that Scott could better serve the country if he dropped out of the presidential race and instead endorsed former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley:

This is the South Carolina senator’s choice: He can acknowledge that his energetic campaigning has failed to enkindle sufficient enthusiasm and depart as he campaigned, cheerfully.

Or he can try to become someone whom, to his credit, he has no aptitude for being — another peddler of synthetic anger, stoking today’s rage culture.

Will’s column isn’t especially remarkable on its own. But it’s topped with what Mediaite describes, correctly, as an “all-time disclosure note”:

Disclosure: The columnist’s wife, Mari Will, an adviser to Republican presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.), disagrees with this column.

Scott reacted to the column by telling CNN’s Eva McKend, “I guess this just proves there are mixed marriages.” He added that he has no plans to drop out of the race.
