David Horowitz held on just long enough to see President Trump’s first 100 days in office come to pass.

He had called for defunding the universities. Now, President Trump is defunding them. After over a generation of fighting the campus wars, David is not here to see federal law enforcement arresting the student activists who threw things at him and threatened his life. Leftists, he argued, were insurrectionists. Now the Trump administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act. He had called for a working-class minority populist conservative coalition. 

Now it’s here. 

Before the Republican Party was ready for Trump, David Horowitz had to teach them how to call the Left by its right names. Traitors. Insurrectionists. The Enemy Within. And he taught them to hit as hard as possible. 

David Horowitz passed away with the fruits of his lifelong work unfolding all around him.
