Tucker is great. It’s just that he had an initial and persistent dislike toward Trump. Rush dod too. So did Mark Levin. With Tucker it comes out once in a while.
Tucker is one of those who thinks it’s ok to see both sides even when the one side is trying to destroy to no end. Which he does not see.

With Rush you can see he doesn’t get Trump even still

Mark is wise

I hesitantly started watching him recently because I vividly remember his bowtie days when he fancied himself a mini-George Will.

Won’t be watching anymore.

“Trump should not have been on the phone with a foreign head of state encouraging another country to investigate his political opponent, Joe Biden”

Why not...dick? Does being a political opponent confer immunity for crimes?

Another reason to dump Fox for One America News. OAN is what Fox used to pretend to be

Looks like this is being taken out of context. I think what Tucker is saying is that what Trump did was stupid but not worthy of impeachment. Actually on his shows last week he was making fun of Democrats. He even had a montage of Pelosi saying it was a sad day calling for impeachment of the President.

I wonder if that bow tie is a clip-on? If so, that’s even more reason not to trust him.

I love Trump! I voted for him, plan to vote for him again.

But Tucker is right, Trump did get a little too specific by naming the lead demoncratic runner to be investigated. Had he stuck to general corruption or just naming the company he would have been fine.....I know, there was no quid pro quo but discretion is the better part of valor.....

I’ll fight to support Trump.....

Has anyone considered the possibility that the only reason Biden is running for President is to insulate himself from criticisms or investigations into his corruption???

That CNN brings this up tells you how serious to take this article. Not very!Tucker was stating an opinion. Just that an opinion. I see the same information material that he does and I think his opinion is wrong.

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

The early morning business team is pretty darn good...Maria Bartiromo, Stuart Varney etc. They’ve never pissed me off.

That’s right.

the Tucker article that CNN decided to “deceptively edit” doesn’t fit with this article

I read it on Townhall several days ago

Tucker Carlson is “right wing”?

Agreed, I think Jarrett has a better argument.

He must have mentioned what a nice guy Hunter Biden was at least three times.

Does anyone have a direct link to the Op-Ed?

Did Tucker mention any of this on his Fox show?

TIA.

"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."

This is 100% bullsh!t. This idea that announcing that you are a presidential candidate somehow indemnifies you from any criminal investigation -- especially in a case where the key piece of evidence is the candidate bragging on video about interfering in the political/legal proceedings of another country -- is so bizarre that it isn't even worthy of discussion.

Tucker Carlson is apparently buying into the preposterous Democrat/RINO talking point that it's OK for Democrats to conspire with foreign governments to investigate Donald Trump as a sitting President (even to the point of fabricating evidence against him) ... but a Democrat CANDIDATE is somehow off-limits?

I won't make excuses for Tucker Carlson, but I've long felt that he isn't terribly bright. He made a complete ass out of himself during the Kavanaugh debacle last year when he got on the air one night and made the outlandish claim -- which would have been confirmed as verifiably false with about 20 seconds of internet research -- that Kavanaugh would not be able to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court if he wasn't confirmed by the time the next court term began.

Sorry Tucker, but what Trump legitimately questions was how deep Ukraine’s political class was in bed with the Obama administration in the production and dissemination of the Russian collusion hoax, and under it all the abuse of power that may have been used by a sitting Vice President, to get a Ukraine official removed from office, and official which had been investigating a Ukriane company with a board of directors that included Joe Biden’s son while Biden was the Vice President.

ALL of those things ARE pertinent to ongoing U.S.-Ukraine relationship - is the political collusions between Ukraine officials with the Democratic party over, or not.

So, Joe Biden qualifies for a “Get out of Jail” card because he’s running a losing campaign?

I’ll remember that if I’m ever being investigated.
