Tucker Carlson Destroys Neocon Lindsey Graham Over His Warmongering Against Russia
Big League Politics ^ | Feb 22 | Shane Trejo

Posted on 02/24/2022 12:02:26 PM PST by RandFan

Fox News host Tucker Carlson destroyed neoconservative Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) over his failed foreign policy record and his jingoistic rhetoric regarding the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

“It’s a little galling to be lectured by people with impossibly generous Congressional pensions about sacrifices that you get to make, but it’s especially infuriating to hear the last guy who is speaking about food prices that has skipped very few meals recently tell you that looking at history, informs you of everything you need to know about the future. Really, what sort of history we are talking about?” Carlson asked.

Carlson brought up the humiliating disastrous loss in Afghanistan in order to discredit Graham’s preferred foreign policy of all-out intervention.

“Did Lindsey Graham, who supposedly cares about the military, do a single thing to improve it? Did he call for the resignation of any person responsible for that humiliating disaster that resulted in the deaths of American citizens? No, he didn’t. And those same people are now in charge of our strategy in Ukraine,” he said.

Carlson noted that the foreign policy establishment that is uniting around Ukraine and agitating for blowback against Russia has been wrong about everything for a great many years.

“But the bigger question, really, for Lindsey Graham is – When is the last time he did anything, one thing, to improve the life of an American citizen other than himself?” Carlson asked.

Linda Grahamnesty is along the most reprehensible, self-serving, talking-out-both-sides-of-his-mouth members of Congress. Not that he doesn’t have LOTS of company of equal caliber in the cesspool that is DC.

Tucker Carlson has been a disgrace on this issue. I don’t want foreign policy by Tulsi Gabbard. Or Biden. Or maybe by Lindsey Graham, but Tucker is way over the edge on this issue and his guests on this are not credible.

Like his guests who said Iran would DEFEAT the United States in a war and that sanctions are the same as attacking Russia militarily.

I know in the old Roman republic the senators (at least a healthy percentage) were required to serve during conflict. Think a third of the Roman Senate was lost at Cannae. That may help with our neo-con and neo-lib problem....

Tucker, you’d better watch out. I’ve heard that Graham has sharp teeth. Like for eating corn on the cob and peanut brittle.

You may have to back off.

Thank you and Tucker changed his whole tune now that the invasion is underway.

Let’s not forget Tucker said that Biden and his advisors actually wanted to attack Russia.

And that’s not an exaggeration I love his show but he and his guests said that and numerous looney things on this topic again and again.

When Biden withdrew from Ukraine and said we would not fight Russia, Tucker repeats the same claims and doesn’t report what’s actually happening.

He’s been an idiot on this.

Why does Tucker hate Ukrainians? Of course last night he claimed he doesn’t.

Perhaps Tucker can share his thoughts and suggestions to that bloviating moron Hannity, who continues to give Linda a format for spreading his unchallenged idiocy nightly.

So have a lot of people right here on FR.

I appreciate that you are not one of them.

Well, good thing the wise voters of South Carolina saw fit to vote this worthless, lying asshole back to the Senate for another 6 years of waste and corruption, huh?

It took Biden a while to bribe Putin in to doing it.

Carlson’s coverage of the Russia-Ukraine crisis was absolute buffoonery. It was pretty clear Putin wasn’t massing 150,000 troops, artillery, mobile air defenses and logistics on the Ukraine border for fun and games. Yet Tucker and about half of FR were completely clueless. Many still are...

Tucker Carlson would defend Putin even if Russian troops were crossing the Rhine.

He’s a disgraceful appeaser.

We can BOTH defend our own borders from illegal invaders and help the Ukraine its borders as well. These are not mutually exclusive goals.

Dick Morris has the worst record on foretelling events, but he’s paradoxically likeable, to the effect that we want him to be right once in a while.
