Last night provided more evidence that Tucker Carlson is the most important political commentator of the current crisis. Ankle biting critics, jealous of his status as host of the eponymous top-rated cable news show, seized upon perfectly reasonable comments he made on Wednesday’s edition of his show and launched a campaign to boycott his advertisers (they are close forcing me to buy one of Mike Lindell’s pillows) and thereby pressure Fox News into cancelling him.
Tucker proudly tweeted out the segment in question, with Twitter cautioning viewers that it may be sensitive
Leftist/Fascists upset at hearing the truth... I am SHOCKED to find truth is upsetting to Leftist/Fascists!

Tucker Carlson has the best show on Fox news. He is smart and is always prepared to take on any liberal
with his obvious knowledge of the subject.
The greatest thing , for me, is he doesn't "talk over" his guests. He silently lets them have their say and then very ably begins to take them apart. Take heed Mr. Hannity !!!!!

Truth telling nails the Democrats, with the usual whining from the Democrat owned mess media hacks.
I’m about ready to buy new pillows from Mike.

Would not be surprised if former Wisconsin congressman and now Fox Director, Paul RINO Ryan, is opposed to Tucker.
Tucker is a pleasure to watch, especially since he is minimizing the use of Fox’s overstocked bullpen of lefties. Makes no sense to debate lefties who ignore reality.

What the Twitter comments tell me is that the vast majority of its users read the first comment, take it as gospel, and comment as though the tweet is factual. Liberals are immune to truth. They arent curious, resistant to hearing it, wont accept it and change the subject.

OP, maybe someone will buy one of those excellent pillows for you as a gift. I bought one for my grandson to take to college. On a more important note, Tucker Carlson will be around long after his detractors are gone with the winds of change. Even liberal advertising gurus know a good thing when they see it. No so much Goodyear, Gillette and Chick-fil-A

I thought the prog boycott juggernaut had Tucker's number a couple weeks ago, or months ago or every other day. Said juggernaut losing its teeth? Rage on, psychos.

This worn out democrat strategy of attacking effective conservative commentators is getting very old. Tucker spoke the truth and that sets the democrats hair on fire. Truth to democrats is like sunlight to Dracula. It burns! I cannot believe that the democrats believe this relentless violence and chaos is a winning strategy. Reasonable Americans want no part of living anywhere near a democrat controlled city or state. We are witnessing the most malevolent political strategy unleashed on the public in our history. Destruction, assault, murder will not win over voters. It actually repels them. God bless Tucker Carlson for speaking the truth. It takes courage in today’s climate. It is, however, the only way forward.

Easily the most courageous, truth-telling commentator on TV. What's best about Tucker is that he is an "equal opportunity truth-teller"...he skewers Republicans as well as Democrats when it's called for. For example, he calls the Republicans out for their almost total radio silence on the rioting. Agreed.

I was also glad to hear him open up discussion of Nikki Haley. While she has many plusses, not the least of which was her strength at the UN, I have nagging concerns about her.

BEFORE Tucker went on last night, I tuned into CSPAN for pre-convention coverage. The millenial hostess asked how Republicans could explain what had just happened in Kenosha, and pointed out that it appeared the shooter was a Trump supporter. Her comments were other-wordly. CSPAN convention coverage has been great; last night's intro not so much.

Saw John Cusack tweet. Interesting that he appears to be on the flight log of the Lolita Express.

I want to know how the 17 year old was there unsupervised with a loaded rifle.
I want to know the circumstances of his separation from the group that while he was not a member,, he had been shadowing, and helping clean up trash from other riots.
I want to know what caused the confrontation with 'victim 1', who chased him and threw a molotov cocktail at him before being shot.
I want to hear from law enforcement, about the mob that attacked him, kicking him and beating him following a chase, where he shot victim 2, who was beating him with a skateboard.
I want to hear from victim 3, who approached him with a drawn pistol and stupidly tried to disarm him by grabbing the rifles barrel and nearly getting his arm blown off.
I want to hear from the kid; what was his motivation to go out of state to Kenosga? Where did his weapon come from? How he did he get separated from the militia group he'd been helping clean up the area? How did he come in contact with victim 2? Who did he try to call after victim 1 was shot? Police? Why did the police not arrest him there? My understanding of the account was he waited to surrender to police, but they never arrested him, till the next day at his home.

Two things, from the article, J. Cusack lists a number of sponsors that I believe are ran by or owned by liberals, hmm! Secondly, I don't think now is a good time for the radicals to boycott anything, suggesting that their sales volume will reach record highs, as Goya comes to mind.

The 17 year old, however ill advised, and poorly done from a tactical standpoint, was trying to stop arson and looting by violent antifa thugs. That is a right thing. If he did it in a poor way, OK. But his intent seems to be (we don't know what it was for sure) for law and order.
Perhaps if the police had done some actual policing people wouldn't be pressured to try to do it themselves.

Interesting questions, #15. Perhaps he was planted there by Antifa to start the “Republicans are killing us” scam.

When you look at the success of the Joe Rogan podcast, Tucker might be better off as an independent operating on youtube or spotify.

Tucker is in his prime and is hitting on all cylinders. If Fox fires him, they lose big time. Tucker is the only week-day prime time Fox program I watch. In the history of broadcasting, there have been a handful of radio and television personalities that have become true legends. Tucker is one of them and has a long career ahead of him in whatever direction he chooses. I hope he chooses radio with podcast.

All you would need, poster 19, is someone he respected saying, "we should go to Kenosha, and help out. But I wouldn't want to go there, unarmed..."
Or a dare from his friends.
Or someone else. If his motivation had been to kill black protestors, he had hours where he could have done that. So what was his motivation?

Lindell's pillows are awesome Mr. Lifson. Hubby and I just got in on a two for one promo and boy are we glad. Having said that, I hope Tucker stays the course and stays strong. He has a lot of support for his show out here, and he and Gutfeld are pretty much the only reasons besides Lou Dobbs to watch Fox on a nightly basis.

Tucker is MUST SEE TV. Besides Juan Williams, I also like the Five. He truly is a blooming idiot or an American hater.

FTA: Tucker " trounced him in in the key 24-54 demographic". That is great news. I see more and more evidences that the millennials have had it with "Woke" culture
