Fox News guest nails it: 'Why in hell does Tucker Carlson have a job here?'

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is a propagandist, though a clever and savvy one. And on his program Monday night, he was up to the usual routine of discrediting the entire Democratic presidential field — talking up their divisions and reaching far to fetch a solution. Michelle Obama, he said, was “one of the only people who could unite the party’s warring factions.”

On the morning program “America’s Newsroom,” host Bill Hemmer used Carlson’s comments to introduce a chat with Michael Blake, a New York state assemblyman and a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. “What do you think about the prediction on Michelle Obama?” Hemmer asked. “Would you like to see that?”

It was a curious way to premise a conversation on the Democratic presidential race, as Blake noted in his response. “Well, she’s not running,” Blake stated right off the bat.

Then came the haymakers: “But the core question is why in hell does Tucker Carlson still have a job here in the first place. The reality is this is someone who said white supremacy is a hoax and why does Fox allow him to still be here in the first place?”

I never watch Fux Ruse but CNN was showing a clip of him and his show and I was in the other room only half listening and I thought, "Who the Hell is that idiot?" and expected to see a woman when I went to look at the TV and it turned out to be Fucker Carlson "mocking" someone.

I thought he had lost a bet.

He can always go on CNN again. They only have Santorum and Killer Kristol. They need that third Nazi to replace Sean Duffy.

He used to wear a red one a lot, I think he wanted attention, even of it was negative.
