Carlson came off as a partisan hack tonight.
Yeah, Tucker Carlson is generally too far right for my world view.
But he's entertaining. And he's been spot-on on some issues, one being his opposition to U.S. support for Ukraine. So I've taken to watching him lately.
However tonight I was reminded why I never liked the guy.
He condemned Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan, tacitly saying that the Biden administration was purposely trying to create tension with China. I was appalled at his weakness on this one. I was worried that Pelosi would cancel her trip, appeasing China and making the U.S. look weak. And most Republicans urged her to go.
So why this sniveling cowardice on Carlson's part all a sudden? He should be backing Pelosi in the face of Chinese bluster. She's showing true support for our ally Taiwan. Instead he implies Pelosi is senile.
Love her or hate her. But Nancy Pelosi is a strong figure in Congress. Yeah, I understand concerns over Biden's doddering performance. But it's a cheap shot to apply this cynicism to every Democrat over 70. He's not calling Trump senile.
It makes me realize that Tucker Carlson is not espousing objective views on international relations here. He just knee jerk opposes anything done by a Democrat.
Wow Tucker, thanks for being a partisan hack who puts his hatred for Biden and Pelosi ahead of American interests.
