Tucker claims the NSA is spying on him

@DirkSchwenk
TC "the most obvious foreign influence agent" says that the NSA has his texts and emails. Since the NSA ONLY collects foreign comms ... that means that Tuck's been texting with foreign agents. All the lolz, Tuck.

Tucker's fauxrage over the idea the NSA is monitoring his show to take him off the air is one stop short of his dog telling him to murder people.

Or, more likely, he's trying to gin up another conspiracy, like the "Obama was spying on me in Trump Tower" bullshit that Trump likes to spew. He's not very original.

If the NSA was reading his emails he wouldn't have a freaking clue. Of course statements like that keep the far right fired up, and that is the point.

GOPers are always guilty what they accuse others of doing. Don't be surprised if and when it comes out that Trump not only used the Justice Dept. to try to dig up dirt on Democrats, he also used the NSA.

….To show all of the evidence, and then should be enough proof to not only impeach Biden but to actually imprison him?!
I find it extraordinarily that claims that these Wingnuts make in public and on their shows, they never repeat in court. That “under oath” thing is a powerful tool, we should get all of these nut jobs and Trump himself under oath.

They go home from the SCIF, have a nice dinner of whatever they want to eat that night, go into the living room, tune their televisions to Fox News, crack open a fifth of bourbon, and just laugh their asses off at the stupidity pouring through their speakers.

Want to bet that Trump was the one using the NSA to spy on his enemies? He used the Justice Department for that purpose, so why not the NSA, too? Republicans always accuse others of doing what they've been doing all along.

Probably not.

I do bet he is making a LOT of money off the Trump rubes. He needs to keep upping the ante to keep the money flowing. Trump is way too stupid to see TC ia taking "his" money.

Didn't he testify in a civil suit that no reasonable person would/should believe him? We don't.

"... from 8pm to 9pm (7pm to 8pm Central)."

Are they just running out of new bullshit? This is the same as the CIA spying on the Russians only to have Trump campaign staff walk in, just with different characters.

He seems incapable of feeling guilt or empathy, so there must be something out there that he perceives as a threat to his perch.

Another Fox star from more than a decade ago, Glenn Beck, went so far off the deep end that his nightly show was pulled from Fox News. His schtick was promoting Obama conspiracy theories.

If Carlson gets the boot like Beck, it will be keeping with Fox custom. He’ll be replaced by someone equally or more awful, though.
