Tucker Carlson is at war with himself

Last edited Tue Dec 6, 2016, 01:26 AM - Edit history (2)

Fox News host Tucker Carlson's on-air war with elitism

For some context, he is ripping into New York Times writer Nicholas Kristof here.

Snip>


Tucker > "You've thought a lot about the suffering of people in other countries. You've thought a lot about it," Carlson said. "It doesn't seem you've thought that deeply about the suffering of your fellow Americans."

Snip >

"What I would say is that clearly voters are mad at the establishment and have contempt for the establishment. But the establishment has greater contempt for voters," he said. "If you think your average Trump voter in Ohio hates Washington, you should see what Washington thinks about the Trump voter in Ohio."

Carlson said that "the core irony" of the political system is that "the people who are running the democracy don't believe in democracy."


There is more of this shit at the link. Un-fucking believable! Tucker Carlson now thinks he and Trump have a corner on caring about Americans who are struggling and the "elite liberal media" only care about themselves.

Yes, because liberals haven't spent their entire fucking lives working for the poor and downtrodden as Republicans like Carlson have picked their pockets kept their wages down. These fuck heads have no shame. He speaks of irony? Republicans suddenly caring about poverty and suggesting liberals don't is irony on an epic level!

FUCK YOU TUCKER CARLSON you fucking ass hole!

He brought Rachel Maddow on board MSNBC many, many years ago. They used to have a show together. Carlson eventually got fired and Maddow ended up with her own show.

I just thought I'd add an upbeat contribution to the thread.
