Tucker Carlson has some very unexpected people watching his show
American Thinker ^ | 2 Feb, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 02/02/2022 4:04:06 AM PST by MtnClimber

Monday through Friday, Tucker Carlson is my daily indulgence. I like that he tackles issues other major media types, even the conservatives, shy away from. I like his sense of humor and his mad cackle. I especially enjoy his monologues, in which he has a knack for summing up in a relatively few minutes issues that are of profound importance to Americans. And here’s something you may not know: It’s not only conservatives like me who watch Tucker. More Democrats watch him than watch competing leftist news shows.

The Wrap looked at the numbers in the Nielsen Fusion report for October and reached that surprising conclusion. It was predictable that most conservatives watch Fox News. What was unexpected was the fact that Democrats like Tucker too:

More surprising are the stats about Carlson and Fox News’ pull with self-proclaimed Democrats. Of those demo-aged viewers surveyed who identified as Democrats, 39% chose Fox News, 31% chose MSNBC and 30% chose CNN for programming from 8 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET. In total-day viewership, Fox News grabbed 42% of Democrats aged 25-54, CNN nabbed 33% and MSNBC got 25%.

Carlson was top among Democrats in the demo across all of cable news that month and ranked third place among Dems in total viewership, too. Of the top four programs among Democrats in total viewers, Fox News had three: “The Five,” “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and “Hannity.” The top spot in total viewers went to MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show.”

But will he be able to convince any democRATs that the left is corrupt and rooted in evil?

Not that surprising. It was always obvious that a certain percentage of the left obsessed over him and watched the show to look for ways to cancel him

It’s hard to beat intelligence and clarity.

Tucker is clearly Gateway News for the not yet insane.

CNN and MSNBC are wall-to-wall J6 committee. Even lefties get sick of that

Is he part of the "Intellectual Dark Web" as Michael Shullenberger calls it, but it predates Michael. Aka those that have been (They'd like to cancel Tucker) that are on the web or podcast that want to discuss things at length with intelligence looking for solutions, like Tucker does. You could lump Rogan in their too.

People are starving for conversationalist even if it is just listening, after not talking to people for over 2 years, shaking their hands, hugs etc, downgraded to tossing toys at the their cat.

Whether they liked Trump or not, they must realize that, during the first three years of his administration, life was great and getting greater. After only one year of Biden, life is bad and getting worse. Rachel Maddow won’t tell them the truth; Tucker will.

Democrats are waking up...

I’d classify them as working-class people, some of which were Democrats in the Trump-era and benefited from the commerce policy and deregulation. In some regions, it might have been one out of three democrats who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020.

Remember last year when a bunch of lefty Dem radicals ANTIFA and BLM typesshowed up at Tuckers home in Washington D,C, at night? Tucker was away from home and these ba$tard Dems gaslit Tuckers home, and scared the ‘bejasus’ of of Mrs. Carlson and her two children.They also pounded on the from door and left various graffito on the property full of obscenity and threat. Scions of Maxine Watters and Barrack Obama the Psychopomp.

The police? Crickets.

I will laud Tuckers Democrat viewership when they develop some courage and start choosing to castigate, attack and separate themselves from their communist bretheren. Until then, they are just as bad as all the rest of their radical a$$ hats in my books.

His insightful perspective on Baltimore was outstanding and Candice Owen’s thoughts were spot on about how Democrats want and need an uneducated illiterate class of voters like the plantation culture.The left will shut him down just like they did Glenn Beck but I hope not.

Here’s the little secret, folks.

MOST lifelong-voting Democrats are NOT rabid greenies and evil leftists. MOST democrats are the descendants of blue-collar union workers and average working-class people. They are not bad people, just ignorant of the realities of the Party they support. The LEADERS of the demoncrap party are using the rabids and the ignorant to maintain their personal power - they are not true “greenies” or “lefties” either.

Americans of all stripes are slowly awakening to the insanity that is the left, and the damage they are doing to our Nation.

We need term-limits in federal elected offices, we need the bureaucracy reined in, the media to stop pushing an agenda, and vote integrity.

Unfortunately, I believe strongly that this won’t happen before the 2nd American Revolution occurs.

Tucker is possibly the only person on FOX worth watching. He has been excellent. From much of what he says (including his humorous ridicule of the left), one would think that he was a Freeper.

most democrats watch to get their blood boiling. Most Republicans who watch CNN do so for the same reason. Both sides want to know what the enemy is saying.

Tucker has acknowledged that he has known Hunter Biden for years and had considered him a friend. Tucker has also expressed compassion for Hunter’s drug issues. But given the Hunter Biden information that Tucker has featured (including the Bobolinski interview), I seriously doubt that Hunter would still consider them to be “friends”.

He wears kneepads for the Left. All of them do.
