My segment last night on @TuckerCarlson is having a bigger impact than I ever imagined.
It's causing pro-war pundits and politicians to lose their minds!
Let's catalog their meltdowns. A thread... 🧵— Clint Ehrlich (@ClintEhrlich) January 19, 2022
First, the man, the myth, the moron, Bill Kristol:
Tucker all-in for Putin. https://t.co/UdlS4DSE8e— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) January 19, 2022
ESPN anchor turned paranoid xenophobe, Keith Olbermann, says we're traitors
Your nightly reminder that @TuckerCarlson and @FoxNews are not loyal to the United States of America https://t.co/jkafiBczpD— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) January 19, 2022
Four bad takes doesn't make one good one, David French.
1. Ukraine wants to join NATO.
2. NATO would not “control” Ukraine.
3. There is no comparison between NATO and the People’s Republic of China.
4. If Ukraine was already in NATO, there would be no crisis. Russia would dare not attack. https://t.co/ugkokC5lSL— David French (@DavidAFrench) January 19, 2022
Rick Wilson writes... this. He thinks "comrade" jokes are clever burns in 2022.
Tovarish Carlson’s Stakhanovite efforts to promote Protector of the Motherland Putin’s plan to liberate the Soviet territory of Ukraine from running-dog Western imperialists is a credit to the Manhattan Oblast. https://t.co/B1B6rIYzZf— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) January 19, 2022
Obama's favorite speechwriter says we're on the side of an "entho-nationalist authoritarian."
The first part of that claim shows he has zero idea about Russian domestic politics, btw. Clownworld insult.
We are potentially on the verge of a land war in Europe aimed at extinguishing democracy and sovereignty and the American right wing is on the side of ethno-nationalist authoritarianism. That's where we're at. https://t.co/FGzm7UgthZ— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) January 19, 2022
This famous #RussiaGate believer thinks the segment makes Fox News a "hostile foreign propaganda outlet."
I remember when I called Fox News a hostile foreign propaganda outlet and the Brooklyn media bros made fun of it and... 👇👇👇🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺👇👇👇 https://t.co/tMh0cOskvM— Eric Garland (@ericgarland) January 19, 2022
The founder of the DailyKos now cheers on war with Russia from the Left!
When did Republicans get bought and paid for by the Russians? https://t.co/yCU8os2dz9— Markos Moulitsas (@markos) January 19, 2022
A sitting Congressman calls Tucker and I "right-wing agitators spewing Russian propaganda."
The situation in Ukraine is fraught enough without right-wing agitators spewing Russian propaganda into millions of American homes. This is reprehensible, even for Fox “News.” https://t.co/43DjaDIxRT— Rep. Gerry Connolly (@GerryConnolly) January 19, 2022
CNN's chief White House correspondent says the segment was orchestrated by Russian intelligence
that the leading Fox host unabashedly makes Putin's case shows how the disinformation successes of Russian intelligence extend way beyond Trump https://t.co/ihGeT1coE6— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) January 19, 2022
Congressman who was seduced by a Chinese spy, now vocal about dangers of foreign influence!
Carrying Putin’s water. Again. https://t.co/z0XXmXmB4u— Eric Swalwell (@ericswalwell) January 19, 2022
Will anyone have the courage to call you out for being a twit, Joe Walsh?
Tucker is Putin is Trump.
Will anyone at @FoxNews have the courage to call him out? No. https://t.co/z6FgkYZXaD— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) January 19, 2022
This #resistance "fact checker" somehow ties my segment to .... January 6? How? Why?
Not relevant, since these aren't serious claims, just casual insults.
it should trouble every american that the right wing and trump are in absolute sync (and have been) with putin. their talking points and anti-democratic actions and agendas are antagonistic to the rule of law and ongoing--and have led to two impeachments and an attack on congress https://t.co/f1Vz6r1lON— Luke Zaleski (@ZaleskiLuke) January 19, 2022
This lawyer with a big following wants Tucker to be prosecuted as an unregistered foreign agent!
This isn’t journalism, it’s an ongoing FARA violation. Tucker Carlson needs to be prosecuted as an unregistered agent of the Russian Federation and treason under Article 3, Sec. 3, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution for aiding an enemy in hybrid warfare against the United States. https://t.co/5JkLuCKoBn— Alexandra Chalupa (@AlexandraChalup) January 19, 2022
Jonah Goldberg claims Ukraine would not be under U.S. military control if it joined NATO.
Apparently has no idea how NATO's command structure works
If Ukraine were in NATO, it wouldn’t be under U.S./NATO “direct military control.” They want to be in NATO. If Mexico, our ally, were under “military control of Russia” it wouldn’t be by choice. Forget the false moral equivalence, Tucker can’t even take our side in an argument. https://t.co/Z5jiFzlnUU— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) January 19, 2022
LG~~This tweet goes on, and on, and on. I just posted a part of it. Tucker really hit a nerve last night!
What a great post, LG, thank you!
Thanks for posting the comments, LG.
None of these pundits would dare to suit up and go fight in Ukraine.
But they expect some MAGAs to send their kids into harms way for their armchair prognostications.
They can all go to hell.
Let’s see if the Europeans can defend their own continent for once.
They have not been able to in the last 100 years.
