"It's about punishing everyone who looks like Brett Kavanaugh" says Tucker Carlson

https://www.yahoo.com/news/tucker-carlson-apos-punishing-everybody-121652615.html

“Democrats aren’t looking for justice here,” Carlson said. “They want a revolution. For 60 years they’ve been telling us that it is immoral to judge people by their skin color and they were right about that. Absolutely right. They put up a monument to Martin Luther King on the National Mall just in case we forgot. And yet, suddenly, without notifying the rest of us, they have changed the rules. Anyone who doesn’t judge others on the basis of skin color, is, wait for it now, a bigot. Refuse to commit racism? You’re a racist.”

Has been hoping for a race war. He probably better hope nobody looks into his relationship with failed shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge. Him and Bubba were buddies back in the day prior to Tucker getting back on Fox News.

#TuckerCarlsonGypsyApocalypse <--watch the video, it's hilarious in a bizarro world sort of way.

Seems like a very odd detail to insert in a totally not-racist diatribe that was said totally not-racistly with a totally not-racist spirit.

5. Noting and critiquing white privilege, well on display in the case of Brett Kavanaugh...

...is not hating him on the basis of his race or skin color. And those critiques have not been the loudest voices nor are they a substantial complaint of the left.

It's a shame this man was permitted to get this far, he should have crawled off the bench with Kozinsky.

8. Kavanaugh is a long-time PERSONAL FRIEND of Tucker Carlson

As is Ingraham, McGahn, etc. per David Brock. They're all drinking buddies who have been groomed to ascend to positions of power.

NO ONE has said it's about his race. It's about his PRIVILEGE and his self-evident prejudice against Liberals and Democrats.

Without Straw Men, they'd have nothing.

9. In a lineup I could pass for Kavanaugh or Tucker

I'm so white all my white friends talk about how white I am. But I'm always good with folks.

I can't tell you the advantages I feel when I walk into a room. I've been doing several interviews recently and I got two job offers out of 4 interviews. Yes I'm very qualified but I'm also a great interviewee mostly because of the confidence I have due to knowing I have an upper hand.
