But then again he’s on Faux, where being a misogynistic sleazebag is seen as a good thing.

I was shocked to read some of the things Tucker has said in the past.

Tue Mar 26, 2019, 02:04 AM

it interferes with their 'Hillary sucks so bad she lost to a game show host' narrative. (she got 3 million more votes despite being the first woman nominee of a major party, who faced enormous misogyny, despite being weakened by alt-left types like Greenwald himself, despite the fact that Trump is a talented politician who also defeated a field of 17 Repubs, was aided by Russia/Comey/Wikileaks, etc.)

Basically, the alt-left are hipster Dixiecrats who resent the "identity politics" and "rainbow capitalism" of the Clinton/Obama Dem party, and want to go back to a time when Dems centered the white working class above all else. Why people like GG have no problem going on Fox (with white nationalist Tucker no less) because they're cut from the same cloth.

because he is such a frequent guest. Tuned in today and got burned as, guess what, there he was spouting nonsense

and berating the excellent David Cay Johnston for raising legitimate issues about barr's actions. Amy Goodman just let greenwald ramble on and on.

She's consistently the best thing they've got going for them! And if he was ever on her show, she'd be respectful of him and let him have his say - she does that with all her guests, even if she disagrees with them...

on over the past few months or so, which I was surprised by, considering what alt-left nutjobs they are.

No respectable news organization should entertain anyone/anything having to do w/GG.

Can you kindly lay out ALL of the evidence that shows this was a "fraud" and that it was "malicious" and "fake"....because my interpretation of events from the Barr whitewash do not comport with yours, you vacuous gas bag of deceit.

in regards to the Mueller report and that Rachel Maddow was the main villain. I'm like, wha? So he posts that video. Greenwald, and far left people, many Bernie or busters seemed to have it out for Maddow.
