Charlie Sykes Calls Tucker Carlson 'Pampered Man-Child Trust Fund Baby' Over Milley Comments

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

American commentator Charlie Sykes has joined a chorus of critics railing against Fox News host Tucker Carlson for his controversial remarks about Gen. Mark Milley, U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

On Thursday, Carlson called Milley "a pig" and "stupid" for defending teaching cadets and service personnel progressive viewpoints, including aspects of critical race theory—a theoretical framework that "maps the nature and workings of 'institutional racism,'" according to Columbia University law professor Kendall Thomas. Republicans leaders in numerous states have proposed or enacted legislation to ban schools from teaching the theory, now at the center of a culture war.

Sykes—editor-in-chief of The Bulwark, an anti-Trump conservative news website—responded to Carlson's remarks during a segment on MSNBC's 11th Hour on Friday night.

"We can't get numbed about what Tucker Carlson is doing and what Fox News is allowing to go over its airways but think about this: you have this pampered man-child trust fund baby calling a decorated veteran a pig and stupid," Sykes said. "And you would think that people would step back and say, 'Ok, I'm sorry. You can disagree with the man, but we are a party and a movement that has always prided ourselves on respect for the military, respect for what he's accomplished.'"

1. The problem with Tucker Swanson is that he's never been punched in the fucking grill. Unlike

the 80s movie frat boy douche character he portrays.

8. There ya go!

That will solve Tuck's issue. Sometimes it's the only way.

2. Tucker is a racist asshole

[gratuitous]

3. "Respect for the military," Charlie?

Then why don't Republicans fully fund their wars of choice? And by that, I mean full care and coverage for everyone you send off to war for the rest of their natural lives. What level of appropriations do Republicans favor for VA care and services for every veteran in the country? Your party insisted on starting these wars and endless occupations. When and how are you going to pay for it? The invasion of Iraq was sold to the American people as a costless war, maybe a billion dollars and probably lasting no longer than six months. Remember that, Charlie?

Of course you don't.

4. We could add

"trust fund brat" who never had an honest thought of his own. Has Snarlson ever held a REAL job or has he always sucked at the right wing blab tit?

5. Apparently, Fox is promoting defunding the military

So much hypocrisy after all of their hysteria about defunding the police.

6. big lack of military service con the c.v.'s of the tuff-talking g.o.p. & fox news talking heads

7. Draft

Re-instate the military draft. Some of these trump babies, need a dose of reality. 'Semper Fidelis'...

[Grokenstein]

9. Wouldn't work, though.

Just ask Li'l Dubbie, Darth Cheney, or Dim Don himself. The ultrawealthy ultraworthless get deferments or safe, cushy "special assignments."
