    Tucker Carlson is an anti war populist who strongly defends civil liberties. So what is the problem? That sounds like a liberal to me.

    The main themes of Tucker's show in the past few weeks but in general.

    1. Criticizing the ruling elites. He regularly and constantly bashes corporatism and it's partnerships with the politically powerful.

    2. He regularly bashes the media which does the bidding of those ruling elites.

    3. He regularly talks about things that he believes are bad for America's working people. He criticizes unfair economic relations with China or letting millions of poor people just walk into our country to under cut wages.

    4. He criticizes elitist people like celebrities who are fawned over by the fake media and seem to abhor average Americans.

    5. He regularly defends assaults on civil liberties both from government and corporate elites like big tech.

    6. He bashes "progressive" local government officials who seem to take sides with the criminals who prey on average law abiding people.

    7. He bashes the neocon war mongers and the military-industrial complex they serve. He has been bashing the Biden administration's war drums towards Russia.

    8. He bashes politically motivated abuses of power by the FBI and CIA.

    Again all very liberal views. You do not have to agree with him on everything but he is regularly taking sides with working Americans against elite A-holes. He is a reformed neocon who is against idiot wars and he regularly defends assaults on civil liberties.

    I would rate your post as low IQ and absolutely worthless. You cannot even paste a video that can be watched.

    You want to be a slave to people with higher net worth's than the majority of countries GDPs then be my guest. I do not believe for a minute you give a damn about anybody of color.

    As to the second point Tucker was spot on. Democrats are calling ANY opposition or criticism white supremacism! They called the truckers in Canada that. They called parents at school board meeting that.

    People can lie but this is a consistent strategy by the Biden-Trudeau fascists. Call anybody who does not like them a racist. It is pathetic and low IQ!

    From what I can tell he seems to use 1,2 and 4 to say how he hates them.
    TBH I have never heard him...it is the impression I got from the OP and his examples.

    Let me say I do not agree with Tucker on everything because I'm an individual not some CNN watching mindless drone. I'm a moderate on China and immigration.

    The point here is that Tucker regularly takes sides with working Americans where YOUR party now takes sides with super rich white elites.

    So you can stop wasting my time pretending you care about blacks or minorities. You did not vote for any of them in your primaries.

    The key words here. "Never have heard him".

    He has the highest rated show on cable news.

    As a rule lefties hate anyone who doesn't spew their propaganda.

    And?
    Didn't he back away from eternal hero worship of Trump after the capitol affair?
    Now do you have anything to say about my strong suggestion that according to you, he is a three count hypocrite?
    Anyway he is yours.

    It always comes back to Trump? He is an anti war populist because of Trump! He used to be a core conservative. You are ignorant of all this because you never watch the shows and you are driven by emotion. Trump was never a core conservative like Hannity or Limbaugh.

    Trump bashed these idiot wars and was getting us out of Afghanistan. Obama increased our troop count in Afghanistan. Trump was bashed by Rand Paul for being pro universal health care. He was bashed for being for gay marriage and attacked haters of LGBTQ at the 2016 convention.

    The point of all this is to prove yet again how unprincipled today's democrats are.

    You stand up for mega rich elites who would not urinate in your mouth if your teeth were on fire but you hate the people who defend the working class. Shame on you.

    You'll be telling me Trump is a Liberal lefty soon.
    TBH I really don't care. I did watch Tucker a couple of times and decided I didn't have to add another politician to the basket of cases already assembled.
    I'm out. Largely because I don't count and don't care

    Did not dawn on you that there was no substance to what John Oliver said and he pushes the lie that Tucker is liked by white nationalists?

    Anybody who defends the working class today is being called a white nationalist or white supremacist. That's ok with you? Yes because you are a democrat!

    Why don't you attack Tucker with your own ideas?

    He sounded like a lib in those videos didn't he? Ted Cruz called him a New York liberal.

    It takes a little intelligence and education for a person to crawl out of their dualistic black and white shell.

    All a part of the effort to completely control the media.....like in communist countries.

    At some point folks need to demand free speech be protected and these lefties just need to deal with it.

    Remember the film Wall Street? What was a big part of that film? The message of Oliver Stone?

    The point is that money gets moved around by elites that is not always to the benefit of regular Americans. Companies get bought out and then are dismantled and perhaps sold to somebody else. This is illustrated by what happens to Charlie Sheen's dad and the airline he worked for.

    How many of your heroes on CNN or MSNBC talk about what the Bass pro shop merger with Cabela's and the economic impact on Sidney Nebraska when Cabela's corporate offices were closed there? Tucker did. He did a whole piece on it. The piece was called "Wall street vs Main street".

    2000 jobs gone in a town of 6100!



    Note that in the piece he bashes a hedge fund manager(Paul Singer) who donates to republicans!

    LOL. White supremacist is now defined as any White parent who attends a school board meeting and opens their mouth.
