We are a day or two late bidding farewell to Tucker Carlson, but, given the attention we have paid to his descent, a few comments are in order. Carlson says he is leaving the Republican Party. This is from Axios:
“I’m out,” Carlson said on an episode of the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast that aired Thursday but gained traction online Monday.
* “And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out.”
* “I would not support the Republican Party. There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party,” Carlson said, adding that the GOP has “betrayed” voters by prioritizing Israel’s national security over America’s.
* “How could I or any American voter support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States. That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens. It’s not possible to vote for people like that, and I’m not going to.”
Carlson apparently thinks we have no national security interest in degrading the military power of an adversary whose mantra for decades has been “death to America,” that refers to us as “the Great Satan,” that has killed hundreds if not thousands of American servicemen, that has sought for many years to acquire both nuclear weapons and ICBMs to deliver them to our shores.
Not to mention that Iran is the principal–almost the only–source of instability in the Middle East. Has any American president in the last 50 years questioned that we have a national security interest in peace in that region?
Of course one can disagree with the strategy of this administration, or any administration, in dealing with a hostile power like Iran. But the obsessive conviction that our effort to weaken our most bitter foe can only be explained by a traitorous desire to prioritize the interests of another country–Israel–is perverse. Or, to put it more bluntly, anti-Semitic.
Carlson said in the same interview that “he also won’t support Democrats and is unsure how he’ll vote moving forward.” I say: go ahead, Tucker, take the plunge. If anti-Semitism is the defining feature of your political philosophy, you have a natural home in the Democratic Party. “Right wing” commentator and fellow anti-Semite Nick Fuentes has already announced that he has become a Democrat. It is the natural next step. Watch for Carlson to take it before long.

I'm wondering if any of the low-IQ types will pop up to claim that Iran wasn't really building nukes and Netanyahu just fooled Trump into thinking they were. While that notion is idiotic on multiple levels, it would still not change the fact that Iran is our enemy.
I heard that Carlson is leaving the GOP and joining Hezbollah as an associate member.
But that just might be a rumor.
🤔
It doesn’t matter what Carlson thinks about any specific issue. He’s been a phony, self-hating conservative for at least 26 years. It would be best if he moves to one of those countries he actually like.
My question is Tucker just Bat Sh-t crazy or just act this way for money? I enjoyed him years ago as he pushed the limits. He went to far and Fox fired him most properly. Thus my question is who and what is Tucker today? Who does he work for? Who pays him? Is he mentally stable?
In his opus video he said he’s been a lifelong Republican. Ben Shapiro said that Tucker was a registered demonicRAT in the early 2000s. Tucker wouldn’t lie, would he?
Qatar paid $100 million to Tucker.
he’s gone off the deep end.... I don’t know what happened to him but he is irllevent now. Candace Owens too. it’s strange... maybe someone bought them. I don’t know.
F TC
What did they do to Carlson to make him wig out? When he was at Fox News he seemed pretty normal.
Leaving the GOP, GOPe, the Establishment, the conservatives, just what the hell is he leaving? Follow the money. Everyone knows what he is. The only argument is the price.
That sounds like one of those self-important people who thinks he has to announce that he’s resigning from a chat group.
… or some libtard leaving the country.
Who cares?
Tiger to a pussy. Just give them the check. Big money magicians can change anything. IMO
He’s sure wandered
I’m passing
Not who I used to think he was
Tucker is likely riding on what he thinks is public sentiment, vs. what makes sense.
Based on history, Iraq, Syria, Libya (2011), his position makes sense as well. Many of our interventions in the past in that region made little sense. Ukraine makes no sense.
Finally, when you lie and over exaggerate, when you constanty invole some idea of WMD, human rights, the mad man leader, and terrorism as a justification for intervention, it loses its impact with the masses.
But Iran is different in both the root cause AND how we are executing this war. Iran really does want to build a nuke and they do not even deny this (the WMD argument is real and it’s a threat that affects us)!!!
IMHO, Iran is what happens when a government cries wolf repeatedly and the big bad wolf finally does come knocking on the door years later.
“And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out.”
Reaaally? Are you sure about that? I mean, are you suuuure about that?
