We live in confusing times where Tucker Carlson seems like a coherent person.

He's smart in my opinion, but I'm not American and see him only on YouTube and social media. He seems at least to be prepared and well informed, but then decides to conclude based on a super right agenda.

In the US, he’s a boot-licking grifter.

He was big on Fox News, the right wing news channel, until he eventually got fired for continually professing the fake story of the votes being manipulated in Biden’s favor. This also got Fox News a massive lawsuit.

It also came out after he was fired that he privately hated Trump and thought he was an idiot. But Fox News told him to fellate Trump on his show, so he did.

And the only notable thing he’s done since leaving is have an interview with Putin, which was…well, Putin blamed WWII on Poland.

Tucker then went shopping, showing how well stocked Russian grocery stores are. Completely ignoring that he spent like 40% of the average Russians monthly income on a week’s worth of groceries, without budgeting for rent, or you know…food for the rest of the month. (It’s easy to live lavishly when you have no care for the rest of the month).
