With we of the Truth Teller Tribe it is not who is speaking that matters, it is the amount of truth that is being spoken that does.
Tucker just happens to excel at that.
BS. The current trend to define Carlson as a man who stands for truth, justice, and the American way is based primarily on his Coronavirus position that dared to defy a President who preferred to stick his head up his own ass. His glimmers of independent thought that occasionally surprises is few and far between and is only just enough to place him a little above his radical friends. The man is not about truth as much as he is about supporting the GOP or excusing Donald Trump, while expressing his radical, self-centered, right-wing opinions.
- "I'd like to slow immigration pretty dramatically. I hate all nanny-state regulations,
such as seat belt laws and smoking bans." Radical nonsense.
- In call-in segments Carlson made from 2006 to 2008 on the radio show Bubba the Love Sponge, Carlson said Iraq was not worth invading because it was a country made up of "semiliterate primitive monkeys" who "don't use toilet paper or forks." A true racist.
- Carlson also made
demeaning remarks towards women, argued against the 2007 conviction of Warren Jeffs, and used homophobic slurs. Spoken like a proper Episcopalian, who knows where a woman's place is and how gays threaten him.
- In 2017, Carlson said he registered for the Democratic Party to gain the right to vote in mayoral elections in the district and that he "
always votes for the more corrupt candidate over the idealist." What great truth.
- Carlson has argued that the extent to which humans contribute to climate change is "
an open question" and "
unknowable." Carlson frequently
hosts guests who downplay the scientific consensus on climate change. No wonder only 12% of FOX News viewers believe that this climate change is man made. No truth.
- In a July 2018 interview about Russian involvement in U.S. elections,
Carlson said Mexico has interfered in U.S. elections "more successfully" than Russia by "packing our electorate" through mass immigration. When the United States is attacked by a hostile foreign power it must strike back, and make no mistake
Mexico is a hostile foreign power." No truth.
- When Trump met Kim Jong-un at the Korean border in June 2019, Carlson said although "there's no defending the North Korean regime, it’s the last real Stalinist regime in the world. It’s a disgusting place obviously ... you've got to be honest about what it means to lead a country, it means killing people." Carlson went on to argue that although "
not on the scale that the North Koreans do, but a lot of countries commit atrocities, including a number that [the United States] are closely allied with." Mere excuses for Trump's "special bond."
- In May 2019, after Robert Mueller gave a statement saying the Special Counsel investigation on Russian interference in the 2016 election did not exonerate Trump of obstruction of justice,
Carlson said Mueller was "sleazy and dishonest." All for trump, not truth.
- In January 2019, Carlson used an op-ed by Mitt Romney, in The Washington Post, to criticize what he described as the "mainstream Republican" worldview, consisting of "unwavering support for a finance-based economy and an
internationalist foreign policy," which he argued was also supported by the bulk of Democrats. This is just sheer ignorance of American history, wrapped up in shallow partisan politics.
You consider his opinions as truth, only because you share his opinions. He's a partisan hack.
