Lordy, There Are Texts

[cstamm53]

Here are some things Tucker Carlson is now on record saying, with some dates and juicy details:

"Sidney Powell is lying. Fucking bitch. " (Tucker to his producer Alex Pfeiffer, 11/16/20)
"Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It's insane." To which Laura Ingraham texted back, "Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy." To which Tucker replied, "It's unbelievably offensive to me. Our viewers are good people and they believe it." (11/18/20)
November 13: The filing says Tucker wrote privately that Trump should concede, and was in agreement that "there wasn't enough fraud to change the outcome" of the election.
He called the election fraud claims "ludicrous" and "totally off the rails." (11/20/20 and 12/24/20)
When, just after the election, Maria Bartiromo started pushing Sidney Powell's bullshit about Dominion's voting machines — which was sourced from somebody who said they saw it in a dream and who thought the wind talked to her, among other things — Tucker said the "software shit was absurd."
He said it was "shockingly reckless" to claim Dominion rigged the election without any proof in a text to [REDACTED] on 11/21/20.
After the Trump White House and other conservatives started screaming at Fox News for (correctly) calling Arizona for Biden on election night, Tucker's producer Pfeiffer said people on their side were being "reckless demagogues." Tucker said, "Of course they are. We're not going to follow them."
However, on the night of November 12, when Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich correctly factchecked a Trump tweet about Dominion and election rigging, Tucker group-texted Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham saying, "Please get her fired. Seriously .... What the fuck ? actually shocked...It needs to stop immediately , like tonight. It's measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke."
The night of January 6, Tucker texted his producer Pfeiffer that Donald Trump was "a demonic force, a destroyer. But he's not going to destroy us." And then he had the MyPillow Guy on his show on January 26 to blab more conspiracy theories. Said literally all the lies Tucker absolutely knew were lies. Tucker didn't push back.

1. There are texts. Nothing will happen to any of them.

[live love laugh]

9. And the cult will follow them in any direction.

[EYESORE 9001]

2. MAGAts don't care

If it causes consternation, i.e., pwning teh libz, they like it even more.

[Ferrets are Cool]

3. Our viewers are good people and they believe it."

If they are watching Fucker, they are NOT good people, IMO. Unless good=stupid.

[calimary]

10. Agreed. About time we realized that.

[sarchasm]

18. The only truth in that sentence, "...and they believe it." -nt

31. The thing that always gets me with "Little Tucker Carlson"

is that stupid scowl he always wears on his face. That little contrived “concerned” look, with the little brow furrowed and worried…. He always reminds me of a five-year-old boy trying to shuffle around the room in Daddy’s shoes, playing pretend like a big shot.

There’s just no credibility there. No heft. Nothing to take seriously. Mongo not impressed, Pipsqueak.

33. Been the same since Crossfire.

They ended the show after Jon Stewart told him they were hurting the country.

Never forget when he said he would eat his shoe if Hillary did something. Hillary showed up with a right wing shoe cake.

5. Link?

Thanks

6. Push come to shove, it's all about the ratings.

7. Wish I could forward this to my family in Florida BUT:

Since I have a very small family and want to keep peace with the Florida members, I don't dare sent this info to them. They are tR..P followers, we have agreed to not discuss politics. There is no way around this. They accuse me of only listening to the major networks but tell me I miss the truth because I won't listen to Fox news or Newsmax.
When we speak, we talk about other stuff...dare not trespass into politics because I'll never be able to convince them to broaden their horizons and it would end up as an argument.. They think the world revolves around the idiot crook at Mara-tacky-Largo.

My 4 family members here (MA and ME) are revolted by anything re-thug. They will not have anything to do with the re-thugs and are proud to support Democrats.
My whole family consists of 10 people and I miss them and miss the ability to talk to my sister and BIL in Florida about the political goings-on but I cannot penetrate that mindset without argument.

11. So you stick with the friends and family who recognize truth.

Trying to save souls when those souls don’t want to be saved may just be a waste of time, effort, and good intentions.

Far better to focus on those interested in accepting and acting on truth. Besides, there’s always hope. Some of the contrarians may eventually see the error of their ways.

21. So difficult

[Samrob]

26. Post their email. I'll send it to them. Hehe. nt

[yardwork]

12. Unfortunately, Fox News won't report this.

My MAGA relatives will never see this or the massive amounts of other facts that would interrupt the official Fox News narratives. They will, however, be convinced that Biden was responsible for the train wreck in Ohio and doesn't care, that he fell down deplaning in Poland, and a whole bunch of other blatant lies being promoted this week by Fox News, Newsweek, and even the NYT.

I fear for our democracy.

16. Hoping if Dominion wins, part of the settlement is to post a truth statement every hour for 72 hours

One can hope....

[Native]

24. A public apology admitting to the lies.

[yonder]

29. Great idea, but order to bunch them up during their prime viewership hours.

Wouldn't that be something?

[Ford_Prefect]

13. Tucker better lawyer up big time...and possibly plan a trip to somewhere off shore.

[DinahMoeHum]

14. Preferably to Russia. . .

. . .where I'm sure he'll get a warm welcome.

[Ford_Prefect]

15. Or perhaps he prefers Goulash & Dreher to Borscht with Vodka?

Viktor Orbán will have a condo or two available in Budapest.

[progressoid]

17. "It's measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down."

There it is. It's all about the $$$$

[Joinfortmill]

19. What a despicable piece of trash Carlson is.

[Mr. Ected]

20. If a tree falls in the woods and FOX doesn't report it, did it make a sound?

If this information is not broadcast on FOX, how will MAGA ever learn the truth?

[Martin68]

22. Accusing the sources they use so eagerly of lying. Figures.

[CoopersDad]

23. Thank you for this post, cstamm53!

[ificandream]

25. Looking forward to Fox getting their wallet turned inside out.

[dchill]

27. Regrettably, I say "And...?"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. This is the guy whose ass Kevin McCarthy kisses

[czarjak]

30. Good people can only be on one side. Everybody knows that?

[OneGrassRoot]

32. Are Fox's right-wing competitors reporting this? n/t
