Sigh. I need some help address some Tucker Carlson sounding bullshit that is making the rounds.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Basically, Tucker claims President Obama was recently playing golf in contradiction of stay at home orders, and therefore, shame shame.

Haven’t heard it from any source other than Tucker and needless to say I’m just a wee bit skeptical of him, but might as well push back with the facts as they are.

I know, I know, “It’s Tucker Carlson, what do you expect?” should under normal circumstances be enough...but that will probably fall on deaf ears.

So anyone got the scoop on the actual story?

1. I don't have any information, but with these people, laughing helps

"Ha, ha, are you STILL obsessed with Obama? What a laugh! You must have a lot of time on your hands."

9. Google shows mostly Fox News

This is one non Fox News story but not sure if the source is good or not. Never heard of it.

12. pjmedia makes Faux Snooze look sane by comparison.

They are a part of the group that includes townhall, hotair, twitchy, Redstate, and bearingarms.

Totally far-right wingnut content throughout.

16. Oh jeese. Sorry.

With that being the case, there is no credible story on this which leads it to be fake!!!!!

[gratuitous]

2. Isn't this whole Covid 19 thing a hoax, Tucker?

But if golfing is so doubleplusungood, let's talk about Needy Amin and his golf outings in January and February, hmmm?

[dawg day]

3. Facts do nothing with these people. They don't want facts.

They won't listen. Best thing to do is laugh at them.
"Seriously, THIS is what you're obsessed with? Maybe you should take up a hobby. You could sew face masks for us!"

4. Our golf courses ARE open......can't use the club house, or golf carts.....

[underpants]

7. Courses in Virginia are open.

Several other states as you pointed out.

[JDC]

11. Same in CO

[4139]

5. Golf is allowed in many states... One person carts and the cup has been raised.

[hlthe2b]

6. Maybe we should encourage it... Isn't it lightning season in DC by now?

[dflprincess]

8. Did he say when and where this was?

(Assuming it happened at all)

Minnesota opened gold courses a couple weeks ago, I'm sure it's not the only place that did so.

10. I wouldn't even bother responding to that. Even if he did. The focus needs to be on Trump and his

piss poor response to this virus. They want to shame Obama for golfing while over 60,000 Americans are dead and tens of thousands of people are lining up for hours at food pantries? Something he has yet to say anything about - Thousands if not Hundreds of thousands of Americans are hungry with no food. Still no aid for many of these people. In fact they were still going to push forward with kicking 700,000 people off of food stamps in the middle of this pandemic until the courts intervened.

I'm sure they would like to change the narrative and take the focus away from what a disaster Trump is.

I wouldn't even bother responding to this - its smoke and mirrors to distract as usual.

[GoCubsGo]

13. Hmmmm... Something tells me he's paving the way to mitigate something that's about to get leaked.

That "something" being Fat Nixon sneaking out to golf on one or more occasions, rather that dealing with the current crisis. "Obama did it, so shut up about Trump." Either that, or he has a golf trip planned for this weekend.

As for Obama, if the course was open, then so fucking what if he played? He's a private citizen with no governmental responsibilities. So, shut the fuck up, Tucker.

[Blue_true]

14. Well, at least President Obama is still living rent-free in their heads.

They use him to say that Trump is "ok", because he did what Obama maybe did. How is that for them sending a really mixed-up message? They currently don't know up from down, so just ignore their BS and vote in all elections.

15. Not all SIP orders are the same per state, our SIP measures we an play golf here
