Charlie Sykes Calls Tucker Carlson 'Pampered Man-Child Trust Fund Baby' Over Milley Comments [View all]
American commentator Charlie Sykes has joined a chorus of critics railing against Fox News host Tucker Carlson for his controversial remarks about Gen. Mark Milley, U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
On Thursday, Carlson called Milley "a pig" and "stupid" for defending teaching cadets and service personnel progressive viewpoints, including aspects of critical race theory—a theoretical framework that "maps the nature and workings of 'institutional racism,'" according to Columbia University law professor Kendall Thomas. Republicans leaders in numerous states have proposed or enacted legislation to ban schools from teaching the theory, now at the center of a culture war.
Sykes—editor-in-chief of The Bulwark, an anti-Trump conservative news website—responded to Carlson's remarks during a segment on MSNBC's 11th Hour on Friday night.
"We can't get numbed about what Tucker Carlson is doing and what Fox News is allowing to go over its airways but think about this: you have this pampered man-child trust fund baby calling a decorated veteran a pig and stupid," Sykes said. "And you would think that people would step back and say, 'Ok, I'm sorry. You can disagree with the man, but we are a party and a movement that has always prided ourselves on respect for the military, respect for what he's accomplished.'"
