Conservative Pundit Charles Krauthammer Is Dead

PoliticoThe conservative writer and pundit Charles Krauthammer has died.

Krauthammer had announced a year ago he was being treated for a cancerous tumor in his abdomen and in early June revealed that he likely had just weeks to live. He was 68.

Sad news from the political world. I used to watch cable news nonstop, flipping around between stations to catch the different shows I liked. I watched Bill O’Reilly nearly every night and Charles Krauthammer was a staple on the show. I can’t see Krauthammer’s face without thinking of O’Reilly explaining his own opinion and then throwing it to Charles and saying, “Okay Charles, tell me where I’m wrong.”

68 is far too young. RIP Charles, always brought a level-headed and thoughtful opinion.
