    Fixed that clickbait for ya. It was Israel:

    Carlson alleged during the June 18 podcast episode that Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign was “funded largely by people with loyalty to Israel.”

    He also asserted that the U.S. entered the war “because of pressure from the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.”

    “Knowing that is knowing that the U.S. government betrayed the United States. Like there’s no other way to read it,” Carlson added, noting he can no longer defend the party because it’s “immoral.”

    He’s a nazi propagandist that turned against the nazi party because his version of nazism hates Israel for antisemitic reasons.

    He is not a changed man. He is not becoming moderate. He is not progressive. He is not on our side. Do not fall for it.

    Bullshit he “turned” on the GOP. He’s just trying to save face and strategize. He’s a snake, through and through. He’ll be back to the grift in no time.

    Like all the other current rats, he’s positioning himself to appear more moderate than he has in the past, ready for a post-trump GOP. Also, he wants to be President and he can’t do that unless he appeals to a broader base than he currently has.

    He’s also acting like he didn’t have a major part in setting up the current regime and all it’s predecessors.

    Plus, he also said in this same conversation that he’s not going to vote for Democrats, so this is really him just trying to pull the same shit that men pull on dating sites - “I’m apolitical”, “I’m libertarian”, etc.

    Tucker Carlson’s job is to get his name in the press. He used to be a somebody, now he says things on podcasts you’ve never heard of to get attention. The real question is: what is MTG doing this week?

      Joining suit.

      $50 says they’re going to try to form their own party called something fucking stupid like the “America IS Great” party or some shit. Probably going to poach all the people Trump fucked over and start pushing for elections in 2028.

    Tucker Carlson will run for president as a Republican in 2928.

    I have been consistently predicting this for 12 years now. Every year seems more and more likely.

    Fuck Tucker Carlson. Can’t even denounce the Iran war without dipping into antisemitic tropes and rhetoric. May that nationalist bigot rot and soon!
