Three lefties, a libertarian Never Trumper and a foreign democracy activist. Seems like appropriate ideological diversity to me. https://politics.uchicago.edu/fellows-program/current-fellows
In what sense is Yates a leftist?
She freely admits or did so in an interview with Anderson Cooper that she is a registered Democrat, as appointed an assistant attorney general by President Obama and is frequently mentioned as potential Democratic candidate for state wide office in Georgia. Does being a Democrat make you a leftist? Not necessarily if you are Joe Manchin. She is no Joe Manchin and has spoken out on public issues with a distinct ideology. I doubt if William Barr was a fellow and referred to as a rightwinger there would be any controversy.
