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
That's litterally the grift .
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.
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.
