Tucker Carlson says Trump's Ukraine call was inappropriate: 'There's no way to spin this'
CNN ^ | Oct. 5, 2019 | Oliver Darcy

Posted on 10/05/2019 11:15:14 AM PDT by Innovative

In a sign that the right-wing media's relentless defense of President Donald Trump may be cracking, Fox News host Tucker Carlson published an op-ed with Daily Caller co-founder and publisher Neil Patel zinging Trump for his call with Ukraine's president. "Donald Trump should not have been on the phone with a foreign head of state encouraging another country to investigate his political opponent, Joe Biden," Carlson and Patel wrote. "Some Republicans are trying, but there's no way to spin this as a good idea."

Carlson and Patel added, "Like a lot of things Trump does, it was pretty over-the-top. Our leaders' official actions should not be about politics. Those two things need to remain separate. Once those in control of our government use it to advance their political goals, we become just another of the world's many corrupt countries. America is better than that."

I saw on Newsmax’s crawl earlier today that Hannity said that some of his colleagues are part of the Resistance!

Remember when Obama was caught telling Putin that he would have flexibility after the election? Where was the impeachment inquiry?

Tucker’s a turkey. His whole shtick is premised on finding some dumbass lib to be on his show, so he can act all smug and self-righteous.

Believe it or not we think ourselves very strong conservatives, BUT we do not watch Tucker Carlson, and haven’t for a long time. For a multitude of reasons.

Or, as many of us do, he forgot the “/S” at the end?

That’s not a surprise. We have all seen what is happening at FNC.

Another Fox show to cross off the list. Seriously. I’m down to Fox & Friends, Hannity and Lou Dobbs.

Presidents have contact with other heads of government for many administrations. Were those inappropriate also? let’s go back and check Obammys records.

This does not seem that hard to figure out.

Compared to Biden’s own bragging, take a look at Trump again.

It’s a nothing burger.

Sadly these folks who seem to think they are pretty astute when it comes to Conservative issues, are blowing this big-time. And each one that does it, just gives the lying press and democRats more credibility as they do it.

The old phrase used these two indicators...

dead girl

live boy

I agree that it looks iffy. Of course, that does not mean it warrants impeachment or is illegal.

Paraphrasing Lt. Col. Oliver North, I think it was a neat idea.

He hides it well, but Tucker has always been independent to left leaning. It doesn’t surprise me that he doesn’t get it. He thinks he does, but his ‘much learning has made him mad’. I’m pretty sure he always thought of Trump as a buffoon but also a legitimate president. With all the other FOX goats jumping out of the sheep pen, it makes me wonder what is REALLY going on at FOX. Can’t be a good thing.

Biden is not Trumps’s political opponent!

Biden is the opponent of a bunch of other democraps who want to be Trump’s opponent!!!

Carson is an idiot who flits from one position to another with no understanding on which to base what he says.
