Tucker Carlson on 2022 GOP candidates: Dont emulate Lindsey Graham]]]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson advised Republican candidates this year not to emulate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), telling them that their job is to make fun of him.
Carlson said on his show on Friday that Republicans who focus on foreign policy and the Russia-Ukraine war as Graham has done will lose their races this year because voters do not care as much about these issues.
Your job is to make fun of Lindsey Graham and to disavow Lindsey Graham, Carlson said. Your job is not to emulate Lindsey Graham and steal his talking points, and if you do emulate Lindsey Graham and steal those talking points, you will lose, and the losing candidates did just that.
Carlson pointed to the special election for New Yorks 19th Congressional District last month in which Democrat Pat Ryan defeated Republican Marc Molinaro. The district is considered a swing district and narrowly favored President Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
