Tucker Carlson was just fired from Fox News, so he took to Twitter to post a video as if he's still doing his show. It racked up a lot of views, though. And honestly, Fox News' ratings are taking a beating ever since the network stopped airing the fish stick millionaire's White Power Hour shows.
Oddly, Tuckems spoke about honesty, which is something he's not familiar with.
"Good evening, it's Tucker Carlson," he said.
"One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country," he continued. "Kind and decent people, people who really care about what's true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those. It's gotta be the majority of the population, even now. So that's heartening."
"The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are," he droned on. "They're completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won't even remember that we had them. Trust me, as someone who's participated."
"And yet at the same time, and this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all," Tuckems said. "War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources. When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues? It's been a long time. Debates like that are not permitted in American media."
"Both political parties and their donors have reached a consensus on what benefits them, and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it," he continued. "Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one-party state. That's a depressing realization, but it's not permanent."
"Our current orthodoxies won't last. They're brain-dead. Nobody actually believes them. Hardly anyone's life is improved by them," the multimillionaire said. "This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue. And so it won't. The people in charge know this."
"That's why they're hysterical and aggressive. They're afraid," he said. They've given up persuasion. They're resorting to force. But it won't work."
"When honest people say what's true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful," he said as if talking about himself. "At the same time, the liars who've been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That's the iron law of the universe. True things prevail. Where can you still find Americans saying true things?
"There aren't many places left, but there are some, and that's enough," the liar added. "As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon."
I'm just going to leave this right here:
Tucker's lies are dangerous, especially about the Jan. 6 attack on our Capitol. Oh, and there's this doozy:
“It now appears there actually was meaningful voter fraud in Fulton County, Georgia, last November," he said. "That is not a conspiracy theory. It's true.” That's false.
Don't you wish a lying mofo's pants would really catch on fire?
