I think we all know who Tucker is. I meant mouthpiece for Russia, not that he is Russian.
He never should have been allowed back on television after Stewart shamed him into ditching the stupid bow ties
Stop pretending he's not an All American Boy. Stop fucking blaming others. The call is coming from inside the house. Always has been.
The dude's talking points have been featured on Russian state TV and he flew over to interview Putin in February. I don't really care where he grew up and I'm not blaming anyone. Just pointing out his agenda.
Carlson’s 1991 Trinity College yearbook lists him as a member of the “Dan White Society” and the “Jesse Helms Foundation.” White is the person who assassinated Harvey Milk, the groundbreaking out politician who urged gay people to “come out.” Helms, the late Republican senator from North Carolina, was notoriously racist and viciously anti-gay.
This is America.
His agenda is homegrown extremism. Putin's reactionary regime is a natural ally for people like Tucker. But when you Make it sound like Putin is calling all the shots, youre both buying into Russian propaganda and whitewashing American history
There are two points getting conflated, and rightfully so. Tucker does spout off a ton of white supremacy and homophobic garbage to gain the popularity with the far-right and he used his platform to echo Kremlin propaganda. Both of those points likely paid very well.
When it comes to misinformation campaigns, yes. Putin appears to call most of the shots. When Putin does any kind of speech, he essentially gives talking points for Russian media to amplify and repeat ad-nauseam for weeks afterward. This is also picked up by right/far-right social media sites and reporters in the US.
While Tucker was likely a useful ally at first, it seems the relationship between Tucker and the Kremlin was fully weaponized leading up to when Trump took office. This has resulted in far-right politicians getting elected and almost by default, their direction is set by Putin and Russian misinformation.
While Putin may not directly "call the shots", his agenda likey sets the tone for all of his stooges.
That's fair. The "natural ally" aspect was my point. The rest was unintentional.
The dude's talking point have been featured on American TV for DECADES. The fact that the Russian's state current agenda/psyop aligns with it is purely coincidental. His agenda has aligned with the American right since the evangelical revival of the 70s. Stop blaming others for a fully home grown reality.
They're the same picture.
