Thursday, Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson sounded off on some GOP lawmakers and their staffers saying the riot at the U.S. Capitol this week by President Donald Trump supporters that resulted in multiple deaths was racist. Some Republican officials are even mulling removing Trump from office in the wake of the chaos at the Capitol.

The “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host questioned what was racist about the group of people storming the Capitol Building. He went on to argue the “main problem” in the GOP is that the money class, much like across the country, “sneer” at the lower class.

Speaking for myself the feeling is mutual.

The protest consisted, primarily, of middle aged, middle class Americans.

The middle class is not "lower class".

The Dims keep turning up the heat. A powder keg is ready to explode and most Americans who have their earbuds in listening to Cardi B or some crap are going to be like “Wha happened?”

“Deploreables are a lower class and deserve to be sneered at by our Republican Leaders and ChiCom mediots!”

But what is it that they despise? Class doesn’t explain it. The Democrat base has plenty of middle and lower class people. No, the difference is something we aren’t allowed to talk about: it’s race. Sure, elected GOP officials are mostly the same race as their base. That doesn’t stop the hatred.

I’m glad Tucker pointed out the hatred. The why is every bit as important, but talking about it would get Tucker taken off the air and likely banned from the internet.

Look up narcissism, dynamics of a narcissistic relation ship, flying monkeys and scapegoats, and DARVO and you will see exactly what is going on in Washington DC.

"middle class is lower class to the elites."

Elite Leftists are frauds, and their rules don’t apply to them.

Like their kill the middle class with their Covid 19 rules

Intentionally. And now that they control the executive branch, it’s only going to get worse. They want to provoke a response to justify a crackdown.

Kind of depends on your personal perspective, doesn't it?

Other than shouldering 90% of the tax burden, the middle class is loathsome to the bureaucratic political class.

"Wal-Mart stink" on the whole deplorable basket.

Tucker Carlson: GOP Leaders Despise Their Own Voters

Of course they do. Democrat leaders also despise their own voters. The difference is that Democrat leaders also fear their own voters - Republican leaders don't. Through all the chaos and riots last summer, no Democrat ever stood up and denounced Antifa and BLM the way Republican leaders did to the Capitol Hill protesters - on the contrary, they stood by them and excused their actions.

I’ve heard him say this before, and I’ve believed it to be true for a long time. There are precious few conservatives in the GOP. Most GOP politicians are Democrats in red coats.
