Peter Navarro: Who Does Tucker Think He Is?
The Gateway Pundit ^ | March 12, 2023 | Jim Hoft

Hi. I’m Peter Navarro, it is March 12, 2023.

And here is some breaking news: Fox News show host Tucker Carlson has purportedly sent out a questionnaire on America’s Ukraine policy to a set of Republican presidential candidates.

My immediate thought upon hearing this news was, to speak in the salty vernacular of one of my old Chiefs of Staff at the Trump White House, John Kelly, “Who the hell does Tucker think he is?”

Before I try and answer to that question, settle down all you fan boys and fan girls of Tucker. I like Tucker, and Tucker has been good to me – at least he was up until the point where the Fox brass canceled me from his show. I’ll get to that in a minute; but first, this:

What Tucker is doing seems to be the height of arrogance. In effect, Tucker thinks his ratings are so big that he can set himself up as a powerbroker in the 2024 presidential race as if he were the actual Fox network itself – such questionnaires the sponsorship of debates are typically the province of the network itself, across the cable news diaspora.

To put this another way, Tucker is sending out questionnaires to presidential candidates in the an apparent belief that because the show is so popular and highly rated, these candidates must kiss Tucker’s ring and fill out those questionnaires – or risk retribution if a candidate fails to answer the questionnaire.

Lighten up Peter. A questionnaire, well, asks questions. Tucker asks guest questions. It seems rather equal to ask all candidates the same questions and provide the answers on a single program.

Candy Crowley? George Stephanopoulos?

Since when does our side need someone's permission to chase the news?

“Who the hell is Peter Navarro”

An economist who actually knows what is going on and how to fix it.

Weird days.

Peter is one of the good guys and so is Tucker.

Same with the Steve Bannon and Elon Musk dust up.

Strange to see Bannon and Navarro attacking people who they should see as allies.

Thinking this must be propositioning for 2024 election

Yeah, but he failed us when he said that his first instinct, after hearing Fauci demand that we shutdown the Country, was to throw that narcissistic sociopath through the window. But he refrained from doing so.
Oh well, he's a good judge of character, and pushes the right policies ... but would that he had followed his first instincts...

He thinks he is a reporter and they tend to ask questions.

You do not have to answer.

But he is allowed to ask.

Navarro apparently is still banned at Twitter and his last two appearances on Fox with Tucker have been cancelled.

It's not that Bannon and Navarro are attacking allies. It's their so-called allies banning them that is eliciting Navarro's response.

Yeah, I like Peter. So what if there is a difference of opinion?
