Did I just see Tucker Carlson doing his job?
😮
In 2028 you're going to see Tucker Carlson running as a GOP candidate on an anti-isreal stance.
While that's crazy to think, it's even crazier to consider that he'd somehow still manage to be the safer R candidate. I swear, it'll end up between Dr Oz and Tucker Carlson on the republican side.
Tucker vs Gavin Newsom is literally the nightmare scenario for 2028. Tucker will be (for the most part and not necessarily for the right reasons) right about Isreal, and profoundly wrong and dangerous on every other issue.
Oh, no doubt
His job of protecting Russia, Iran's ally. His only job is being a propagandist for Russia.
It’s only job is protecting himself. And he’s doing a great job of that.
He’s like that one turd in the toilet that just won’t flush. Stuck to the side, even when you scrub it with a brush, it just won’t come unstuck.
He has always "done his job", but we need to define what that is. His job is to self-enrich by enraging and exploiting angry white men. Right now, some of the largest hot spots are support of Israel, unnecessary war with Iran, the economy/affordability, and the dismantling of the military (many vets). Most if not all of these resonate with angry white men...his core audience.
I am an angry white vet and Tucker Carlson can suck a rotting donkey cock for all the evil he has done. Some of us are angry about the right things.
Right on brother.
He's not after money. He's old money rich. He does this for power.
He, like many, has only finally noticed the harm he has caused now that he escaped from the bubble and he wants to clean his image. Like Kavanaugh, it's not going to happen.
Thats not true, he just wants to spew different harms then mainstream media. He is anti Israel, not bc of war crimes or genocide, but bc its the "Jewish state." He's no longer MAGA, still evil
His role is to co-opt anti-war criticism and redirect it back to supporting the right.
After Vietnam, there was a big cultural backlash to foreign interventions, and that backlash was still a thing in 2000, when Bush promised to avoid getting into foreign entanglements.
After Bush started a decades-long conflict that accomplished nothing, there was another backlash, and Trump took advantage of than backlash, especially since the Democrats he ran against were so hawkish, he presented himself as focusing on domestic affairs instead of foreign entanglements.
With the debacle in Iran, you now have various figures on the right like Tucker, MTG, Tulsi Gabbard, etc. who are positioning themselves as opposing it and foreign interventions in general. They are lying, of course, but they're lying because they're smart enough to recognize this pattern and that there are a significant number of Americans who are not nearly as hawkish as the political class and who are desperately underrepresented.
If there was a larger, louder contingent on the left that was making these criticisms (instead of just criticizing how the war was conducted!), then Tucker saying things like this would be pretty unremarkable.
That's litterally the grift .
I call bullshit. He’s just one of the early rats fleeing a sinking ship. It’s nothing more than that. He’s still the same opportunistic shit he ever was. Someone who is trying to better themselves doesn’t bring people like Nick Fuentes onto his show and give that guy a platform.
