Tucker Carlson's 'Patriot Purge' full of conspiracies and right-wing propaganda

Imagine if there had been a Fox News, or One America News, or Newsmax around during those dark days when Adolf Hitler was claiming all he wanted to do was make Germany great again.

Why is everyone getting so nervous? Isn’t that Autobahn a thing of beauty? Then there is the Volkswagen! Whatta car! And did you see that interview the Fuhrer gave to Tucker Carlson? How sensitive and thoughtful and funny the Chancellor was. We need that kind of leadership over here, don’t you think?

Jews? Concentration camps? Slave labor? All lies, all “fake news”! Just ask those happy folks in the Sudetenland. They wanted to be annexed.

Tucker Carlson, the Joseph Goebbels of the chattering classes, would have been right at home in Wolf’s Lair. But for now, his Fox News bunker will have to do.

Carlson, who has perfected the deer in the headlights gaze of wonderment, makes his living as a professional idiot. And you can’t deny he’s quite good at it, debunking COVID-19 vaccines, pimping racial replacement lies or promoting any other dog whistle that will cheer on his audience, who more closely resemble the vigilante recruitment scene from “Blazing Saddles.”
