So in all the Puerto Rican joke backlash, I missed the Tucker Carlson bit

where he slung "Samoan" at Harris as if it were an insult? "Samoan-Malaysian Low IQ" is what he called her. These people don't understand humor, they just go for racism and say, "it was a joke"

Also, what does that party have against our territories and protectorates?

It wasn't a charge, which implies that it was serious. It was an insult.

According to Wikipedia (though I suppose Wikipedia is run by communists or something according an ass like Carlson) :

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack

According to the bipartisan House select committee that investigated the incident, the attack was the culmination of a seven-part plan by Trump to overturn the election.[42][43] Within 36 hours, six people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, three died of natural causes, and a police officer died after being assaulted by rioters.[c][33][44] Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months.[34] Damage caused by attackers exceeded $2.7 million.[45]

“Insurrectiony”

Wow..If you haven’t watched Carlson in a while

. That is one stupid man.

But because she's nonwhite and he's a white supremacist or wants to appeal to them, he wants to cast her as inferior.

Meanwhile, his orange master can't even function.

Women of color like her are smart because they have to work twice as hard as the good Ol' boys who have things handed to them.

Straight up disrespectful, she's anything but dumb. A dumb person wouldn't have gone that far.

If you haven’t watched Tucker since his days as a generic CNN Bush era GOPer, his transformation into this overtly racist nazi type is shocking.

That was far creepier than even that comedian.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/24/us/politics/tucker-carlson-trump-spanking.html

Who talks like this

As he warmed up the crowd before Mr. Trump spoke at a rally in Duluth, Ga., Mr. Carlson said that the country under Democratic leadership was like a toddler allowed to “smear the contents of his diapers on the wall of your living room,” or a “hormone-addled 15-year-old daughter” who gives her parents the finger and slams her bedroom door. And he cast Mr. Trump as the strict, disappointed father.

“When Dad gets home, you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad girl, you’ve been a bad little girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now,’” Mr. Carlson said. Grinning, he went on: “And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you. No, it’s not. I’m not going to lie. This is going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned this. You’re getting a vigorous spanking because you’ve been a bad girl.”

He cast Democrats as illegitimate, calling them “the most parasitic, useless, violent, nasty, aggressive people in your country.” He said that “they have no legitimacy in a democracy, where the government must rule by the consent of the governed.”

In an apparent reference to people who fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War, he continued: “They tore down statues to their memory. People who never built anything in their lives, they went out of their way to humiliate you and spit on you and the graves of your ancestors.”

And he told the crowd directly that they should not accept the election results if Ms. Harris wins.

Yes I think the bow tie has been a casualty in all this ;-/. What is this? The world’s largest weird reality show?

Between this, Musk, RFK jr and of course all the Trumps.

Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris.

All those disgusting goons were loving the references to "vigorously spanking" a 15 year old girl.

What a bunch of sick fucks.

I had heard about this speech, but again seeing the real thing was as usual shocking.

So now they just come out and say this creepy stuff out in open with oodles of racist dog whistles thrown in as well?
Tucker’s mind is like a tour of a dark weird alley of creepiness..

What is wrong with this movement?
