Fox News host Tucker Carlson made fun of House Republicans' 'Commitment to America,' a stupid attempt to "rebrand" released before the midterms.

Tucker, yes, THAT Tucker, noted that there's "nothing real in it."

Ouch, Kevin McCarthy! You mean even Carlson sees your campaign as nothing more than some slogans lacking an actual political agenda?

A few days ago, Tucker Carlson was celebrating the election of Giorgia Meloni, the far-right candidate that looks to be the new prime minister of Italy.

Carlson praised her beliefs that align with his: the great replacement theory of Italians, white nationalism, and emulating the reign of Orbán in Hungary.

Carlson parroted Meloni's words and claimed Democrats are poisoning the country.

"[Meloni] is saying it out loud,' Carlson said.

"Contrast that with what's happening in the US. House Republicans just spelled out what they’re running on. It’s a document called the ‘Commitment to America.’ It’s fine. Probably not much in it that you disagree with. Have you heard of it?" he mocked.

"No, you probably haven’t! You probably haven’t read it. Nobody really cares. Why? Because there’s nothing real in it," Carlson said.

Exactly. There is nothing in it at all. McCarthy put the usual Fox News talking points into a Word document. Quevin's "commitment" has no substance except for fearmongering. It's a tired and empty parody of Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" that was promptly forgotten as soon as it swept Republicans into office in 1994.

Today's Republicans stand for nothing except taking away rights from everyone except straight white men like Tucker Carlson.

Digging out of of the COVID pandemic and the ensuing supply chain nightmare is no easy task. Carlson's answer to America's problems is to demand a full-on fascist take-over of the country by Republicans.

For Republicans, his rebuke is a kick in the ass.
