Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host, expressed dismay at President Donald Trump’s leadership on Monday, criticizing the president’s handling of mass protests that have engulfed cities across the country and singling out an influential member of his family.

Carlson, who often uses his show to ardently defend the president and attack Trump’s foes, lambasted the nation’s leaders across the political spectrum for letting protests get out of hand. He also went after Jared Kushner, saying “no one has more contempt” for the president’s supporters than Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser. He accused Kushner of breaking starkly from Trump’s platform and talking Trump out of taking decisive actions.

I still despise him. He doesn't care if the police keep killing black people. He only cares about white families only.

...beyond his own ratings, and he caters to a crowd where red meat is king.

Let's be real: he's not getting paid for sound analysis. He gets paid by the gallon of foam.

He would turn on his mother or grandmother if they told him to.

At least he’s sane enough to see it and admit it, but he will never be an ally of ours.

from your house, how can you protect my family?”

*ucker Carlson is upset about Dolt45's inept generalship.

I fear that the decisive action Carlson demands falls somewhere between Kent State and Tiananmen Square.
