I liked many things that Tucker Carlson had to say, but I never trusted his sincerity, and would never have supported him if he ran for any office.
You probably remember that when he first hit the scene in the early 2000s (or perhaps late 90s), he was basically a neocon, very friendly to the Bush agenda on just about all issues, but with some pseudo-libertarian rhetoric mixed in. He then transformed himself into a MAGA-style American nationalist, and when that act wore thin he decided to just be provocative for its own sake, latching on to any demented conspiracy theory as long it generates controversy and attention.
Still, a stopped clock is right twice a day. Anyone who thinks that the Israeli lobby, with its vast money and resources, doesn't manipulate US foreign policy is hiding his head in the sand. The problem is that Carlson tries to sell this point in some of the most ridiculous ways imaginable, such as asserting false flag operations with zero evidence (though he's hardly unique in this regard).
Was Tucker caught with a live boy or dead woman in his bed?...odd he has not explained why he turned this particular corner...normally when someone undergoes a change like this they explain it.
“Anyone who thinks that the Israeli lobby, with its vast money and resources...”
Seriously? AIPAC spent $50 Million on the 2024 election - out of $15,000 Million spent in total!
50 out of 15,000 doesn’t buy one much influence.
I now realise he’s one of the despicables who will cozy up to whomever has the most bucks. I feel ashamed that I once thought he was one of ‘us’.
I just watched as much as I could stomach of Tucker’s latest unhinged screed about how were at war with Iran because Israel forced Trump into it. Close your eyes and try to imagine that happening. 😆
