It’s a free country, and Chris Ruddy and the fine folks at Newsmax are free to contribute their money any way they like. But in light of this . . .

Newsmax, a conservative news organization, last year pledged $1 million to the Clinton Foundation over a five-year period, according to a spokesman for Chris Ruddy, the organization’s CEO. Mr. Ruddy has been friends with the Clintons since 2007. Through a spokesman, he said the donation wasn’t tantamount to an endorsement of Mrs. Clinton’s potential campaign, though he thinks she would “make a great presidential candidate.”

. . . I don’t want to hear anybody at Newsmax calling anybody else a RINO (Republican In Name Only). Agreed?
