Is Tucker Carlson crazy like a fox or crazy like a psychopath? Following his descent into the gutter of anti-Semitic claptrap, I have long gone with crazy like a fox. I think his shtick is entirely calculated. He’s appealing to a particular audience.
He hasn’t moved on from the anti-Semitic line that has worked so well for him, but Tucker has lately taken up the cause of Islam. We have nothing to fear from Islam. It hasn’t done us any harm in the past 24 years. I’m just guessing, but year 25 must have been a doozy.
Hating on Israel and toeing the Muslim line complement each other. The X post below includes a recording of Tucker in his own voice and a response.

There’s nothing funny about it, but this isn’t bad.
That both Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson have started serving as apologists for Islam is not a coincidence. It’s also funny they think they’ll convince people those who brought us Matzo Ball Soup are a greater threat than those who did 9/11.
