About a year ago, Tucker Carlson, the Daily Caller’s top editor, joined famed conspiratorialist Alex Jones for a discussion about American society and politics. In an exchange that attracted some attention on the Internet, Jones spun one of his classic theories about how the country is changing:
The Democrats went from being the Ku Klux Klan party of race, with Sen. Byrd and all them, to literally going, ‘OK, we’re going to go race-politic with the minorities, make them the majority.’ And so basically they went from financing…La Raza, all the Ford Foundation. And that’s why you have this new race-based system where we all have been conditioned as Republicans or as Libertarians or as white people to be, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re loving, we’re not racist — yes, please, do whatever, I’m sorry I’m white, and beat ourselves with whips on the head. And then meanwhile, the Democrats have just recreated the Ku Klux Klan movement, but they’ve done it with minorities.
Presented with those thoughts (and others — Jones’s monologue was longer than the quote above), Carlson responded, “Yeah, there’s a lot of truth in that. I wish there weren’t. There’s no question that the country is more race-conscious than it was when I was a kid.”
Question: Why didn’t Carlson stick up for his party?
According to D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics spokeswoman Denise Tolliver, Carlson is a registered Democrat in the District of Columbia. His registration dates back to 2006. He has company: The District is three-quarters Democratic — some people whose politics align with a competing party register Democratic in order to assert their preferences in critical Democratic primaries.
The fast-talking Carlson likes to portray himself and the Daily Caller as bastions of independent thinking.

I always considered most TV pundits as actors who play a role.
Seems to me there were alot of registered democrats that voted Reagan and Trump.
Point being, I don’t care what you are so long as you come around to common sense and promote liberty.
Why? Because he lives in DC and so he can vote in the Dem primaries.
Carlson is taking a stand and not playing a role. He is endangering himself and his family with his reporting on the Intelligence community. Don’t kid yourself. That is dangerous.
Except this actor can't follow the script - LOL
How xould that be a surprise to anyone? It’s seemed obvious for ovee 20 years.
It doesn’t matter where he registered. We have lot of Republicans who think the Dem platform is handed down from God. It would be a thousand times more satisfying to exchange views with Carlson than with John Kasich or Lisa Murkowski. Carlson has a solid foundation regarding where he thinks this country should go.
Not a big fan of Carlson but he wants me to be and that’s why I’m not.
I prefer John Solomon.
Well when some of these lunatics come banging at your door saying they want you killed I guess you might have a change of heart.
I’ll bet a columnist named “ Erik Wemple “ is just the way one would envision him.
Carlson has always been a namby pamby pseudoconservative widely reviled here until the last few years.
Thank you! It is painful to see us eating our own too many times.
Yep...Deep State gonna Deep State!
Reagan was a Democrat - that tells you everything you need to know about the significance of past party affiliations.
They’re all out for themselves.
Wemple
Or entertainers
