So what is the source of Tucker Carlson's attack on cat cafes?

Crooks and Liars article with video:

https://crooksandliars.com/2021/05/white-supremacist-hero-tucker-carlson-says


Midway through his opening rant Carlson made believe people like President Obama and Susan Rice don't categorize neo-nazi assholes as a threat, who murdered Heather Heyer during an anti-Semitic march in Charlottesville as a threat..

"They understand perfectly well what actually threatens America because they've seen it up close. It's the culture that produced them," Carlson said.

No this wasn't a joke.

"It's the decadent rich people from their class at Harvard."

Tucker Carlson is from the elitist Swanson family

"It's the gender studies party at Cornell. It's the cat cafés in Austin and Asheville. It's the Monday editorial meetings at the Atlantic magazine."




We know it's a safe bet that Tucker Carlson's attacks on Joy Reid as the "race lady" and "Harvard-educated" are due to his racism and his inability to qualify for Harvard and similar schools.

His attack on a CIA recruitment video was almost certainly motivated, at least in part, by the CIA having turned down his application -- which Joy Reid had gleefully brought up the night before.

But an attack on cat cafes?

What old trauma and humiliation underlies Tucker's hatred of felines, or at least felines around food? Did he try dining at a cat cafe once and all those feline eyes seeing right through his populist-poseur shtick got to him even more than Jon Stewart's disdain?

Did a feline childhood pet steal any of his Swanson fish sticks? Or, worse, turn up a discerning nose at them?

Or is he just including cats as he lashes out miserably at anyone superior to him?

I don't know when it's going to happen, only that it's going to be spectacular when it does.

I know because I volunteer for a rescue that cooperates with one. Several of my fosters have been adopted through them.

It’s pretty awful to attack any legitimate charity. But that is Tucker’s brand.

Try as he might, all Tuckums can manage is a mouthful of his own belly-button lint.

He was a cat owner and gave generously to animal charities.

Tucker can't even meet that standard.
