Tucker C shilling hard for Trump right now

Main points of his guest:

1. Response from Democrats and the media to Trump is like "mob violence"

2. Trump is doing what every US President should do: walk back potential conflicts, work towards peace

3. Trump is behaving this way to "avert war with nuclear Russia" - which we should all support

4. Tucker makes this strange point (repeatedly): "Why is OK for us to be friendly with Saudi Arabia but not Russia?"

Now he is turning to "The Left has adopted 'hatred of Russia' as a test of patriotism in this country" as another of his arguments.

Bottom line: While some on Fox earlier today were being critical, the prime time heavy hitters (Tucker/Hannity) are going full bore in support of Trump.

Again, I provide this information for those who are curious about what they are saying on Fox but can't bear to watch.

Edit to add: Now he is yelling at someone who doesn't agree with him and I can't bear to watch anymore myself.

Tucker and fox love the cult party over love of country. They should all be arrested for treason.

It was somewhat encouraging to see a few on Fox express some level of displeasure with Trump's actions today - but the Big 2 are going 100 percent supportive.

Which makes him even more irritating. I could only deal with his show for a few minutes, just out of sheer curiosity about what the pro-Trump line is going to be moving forward.

The Russian PEOPLE are not now, and have never BEEN, my enemy, and the United States government should do everything we can to treat them as allies. When they elect a government that can ALSO be treated that way, that sentiment will apply to that Russian government as well.

But until that time, that government can fuck right off as an enemy of their OWN People, AS WELL AS MINE.

Tucker Carlson is now engaged as an agent of oppression and propoganda against the People's of not one, but TWO nation-states.

and so he can fuck right the hell off...
