Tucker Carlson Says It's 'Probably Illegal' For Biden To Pick A Black Woman As VP
Everything but the white hood on Tucker's White Power Hour, when it comes to choosing a Black vice president.

As transcribed by The Daily Beast: For what could very well be the most important job on Earth, Biden has decided to hire exclusively on the basis of qualities that are both immutable and completely irrelevantrace and gender. And thats it. But wait a second, you ask, isnt that insulting? Isnt it wrong? Isnt it probably illegal? Yes, it is all three of those things.Tucker had personal insults for each of the four Black women he was singling out, of course. Rep. Karen Bass is a "lunatic," Stacey Abrams is allegedly "delusional," former National Security Adviser Susan Rice was something-something-Benghazi, and as for Sen. Kamala Harris: "Pretty much no one who knows Kamala Harris likes her." (If this sounds almost exactly like the same insults Donald Trump himself hurls, it is no coincidence. It is well known that Tucker and Trump share a single brain, which they pass back and forth in a lunchbox. When Trump has one of his sleepier, medicated-seeming performances, it is because Tucker was late returning the lunchbox brain.)
Biden has been considering other Americans besides those four, of course. But it is those four whose presence Tucker considers "probably illegal." He does not mean it; this is just one of many hats Tucker Carlson has donned in his self-promotional career, but at the moment stirring up white nationalism of the Proud Boys, Klan, and bitter drunk uncles everywhere is the most lucrative path.
So sure, Biden being uncomfortable choosing yet another white man in this particular moment is "probably illegal," Tucker says in his nightly attempt to rile his racist audience, "but no one's pushing back against it." It is nonsense meant to make his racist audience angry, in a campaign to make them angry every night, without fail, relentlessly, forever. What happens after that is of no concern to Tucker; at least for now, That Pillow Guy is paying his bills.

(6,240 posts)Did you and your writers even bother to check with Fox lawyers before you said it? Are people supposed to go, oh, Fucker thinks it may be illegal, so it probably is? Or are you counting on your viewers being so fucking dumb that they will disregard the "probably" and just home in on the "illegal?"
From your recent spoutings, Fucker, I'm really starting to think that you and Fox really believe your viewers are a bunch of fucking morons.

(54,412 posts)It is "probably" illegal for a scripted racist to wear a bow tie while ranting crap on a propaganda TV station.
Don't ask me for a link to where I read it, but it was in the same set of statutes where you read your "probable" law.
