Will the real Tucker Carlson please stand up?
Carlson was pro-Trump before his current pivot to anti-Trump. But he was anti-Trump before he was pro-Trump:
“During Wednesday’s episode of the “Straight Shooter” show, Smith questioned why people should believe that Carlson, a once staunch Trump supporter, is actually serious about the breakup. Smith noted some people could just view it as “another pivot” politically for Carlson.
“Smith asked the question after bringing up that Carlson used to hate Trump “passionately” in 2021, referring to a series of private text messages Carlson sent to a Fox News producer expressing contempt for Trump that were publicly exposed — only later to become a loyalist to Trump.
“How do you answer that?” Smith pressed.
“Noting he’s been “wrong a lot” about “big things,” Carlson specifically admitted to being wrong about Trump.
“I was wrong on the Iraq war and I’m sure a million other things,” he continued. “But anyway, I don’t know what to say. People can judge whether I’m sincere or not.”
I judge that Carleson is insincere and has always been insincere. He’s an intellectually flaccid grifter.

When I was a much younger man I flagged a lot of traffic. Taught US/OR/NW Temporary Traffic Control certification classes at a rural extension. The voice of experience.
