PLOP! The Sound of Tucker Carlson Landing on the Anti-Trump Boat
Canada Free Press ^ | 12/09/18 | Judi McLeod

Posted on 12/07/2018 10:53:41 AM PST by Sean_Anthony

Without the Washington Post hype, Carlson, in reality, is just another talking head whose fame has gone straight to his wobbly head. And not a very impressive one at that

Two years on, Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson has jumped aboard the full-to-the-gunwales Anti-Trump boat.

The news of Carlson’s having jumped aboard the louder than any protest Anti-Trump boat surfaced one day after the mainstream and social media used the funeral of President George H.W. Bush to gang up on the president the media live to hate.

Tucker Carlson comes from an extremely leftist family?
News to me. His father ran for mayor of San Diego. (I live here). Republican. He worked for President Reagan!
His step-mother from age 10 is Patricia Swanson of the Swanson frozen food fortune and his father Richard (Dick Carlson) was CEO for Corporation for Public Broadcasting and prior to that he was with the Voice of America.

Let me find a recent article about Tucker and his family.
Okay, here it is: The Mystery of Tucker Carlson

A few criticisms don’t make Carlson an anti-Trumper. He’s stood squarely with PDJT on most issues.

It is amazing what corrupt money can buy.

They ran Judge Napolitano through the same car wash.

Thanks for the information and the article, but the one I recall said that Carlson was likely a secret leftist pretending to be conservative for ratings. This was justified based on family connections, such as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, now that you mention it.

Seems like the article I saw was more right than wrong, unfortunately.

While my intent in excerpting from the interview is to point out more about Carlson himself than his criticism of the President, the emphasis below is pretty anti-Trump. But again, that's not my intent because it's Carlson's set of views that is truly alarming.
Apart from asking these very important questions has he really achieved nothing?

Not much. Not much. Much less than he should have. I've come to believe he's not capable of it.

Why should he be not capable?

Because the legislative process in this country by design is highly complex, and it's designed to be complex as a way of diffusing power, of course, because the people who framed our Constitution, founded our country, were worried about concentrations of power. They balanced it among the three branches as you know and they made it very hard to make legislation. In order to do it you really have to understand how it works and you have to be very focused on getting it done, and he knows very little about the legislative process, hasn't learned anything, hasn't and surrounded himself with people that can get it done, hasn't done all the things you need to do so. It's mostly his fault that he hasn't achieved those things. I'm not in charge of Trump.

This is strange being he is usually on Trumps side. Socialist mugs must be threatening his family.

"Is Tucker one of the loudest and most high profile supporters of the border wall and Trump's fight against ILLEGAL immigration or not"?

He is that... Tucker is like a lot of us, wanting that wall built ASAP..!! It would seem Trump's inexperience as a stinking rotten politician is slowing the process down to a crawl... We conservatives are so quick to torch our own..

Maybe a nationwide bumper sticker program would help... BUILD THE WALL NOW..! :)

No one should be watching FOX anymore. I will just add Carlson to the never-Trumper column.

Let’s be realistic, The Tucker Carlson show is the WWF of political opinion shows. Bring the underdog into the arena and enjoy fake beat downs, fake pins and fake chest beating.

If you can get through this very poorly written article there is really not much to it. Tucker gives Trump partial blame for not building a wall, repealing Obamacare and defunding planned parent hood. I think Mr. Trump would agree with Tucker on these things.

Fox is pretty much done for me, except now for Levin. He is so refreshing as he asks good questions and allows his guest to actually speak many paragraphs, without continuously interrupting.

Fox seems all about sexy legs, verbal sparring and pontification. Just video candy. Enough.
