What is his gripe? It wasn't a public school Walleye Jul 2021 #1

His gripe was that she taught him to hate liberals. n/t pnwmom Jul 2021 #52

He was born rich he didn't need to be taught to hate liberals Walleye Jul 2021 #53

The Kennedys were born rich, and they weren't taught to hate liberals. n/t pnwmom Jul 2021 #54

so where exactly did Tucker go bad? Did he just sell out for money? LymphocyteLover Jul 2021 #24

I wouldn't assume there was some specific point where he went bad... JHB Jul 2021 #67

I read over the WaPo piece just now. He was born into extreme privilege and is a massive snob LymphocyteLover Jul 2021 #90

Why would anyone need to hire a tutor. Math I assume. Adding, subtracting. Not even multiplications LizBeth Jul 2021 #5

While his parents were well off, perhaps they weren't great. Maybe that's his root asshole cause. TheBlackAdder Jul 2021 #6

This story tends to suggest that. yardwork Jul 2021 #14

So the now the viscous little asshole who was ignored by his parents blames liberals for everything. hadEnuf Jul 2021 #91

Reading, most likely. That actually comes harder to boys between the ages of 4 and 7 than Math. haele Jul 2021 #22

+1. Personal experience interfered. I had two sons and both huge readers even at young age LizBeth Jul 2021 #26

Yes, but do you think the Carlson family took that sort of time and effort? haele Jul 2021 #36

Depends. I read constantly to my kids from infancy, but my little boy needed glasses ... Hekate Jul 2021 #39

+1. I had the issue with eyes too. They had a check up and got thumbs up but LizBeth Jul 2021 #62

I am a teacher myself and if I had a child who struggled with reading I would hire a professional dsc Jul 2021 #41

No one could have taught Tucker to be that big of an asshole mdbl Jul 2021 #15

He needed a tutor to get through a 1st grade curriculum? Makes sense. Crunchy Frog Jul 2021 #16

That is pretty damn low PatSeg Jul 2021 #21

Do you think that fool even remembers the ideas promoted by his malaise Jul 2021 #57

No. He is simply a bullshit artist. Caliman73 Jul 2021 #68

He must be practicing daily to run for the RepubliQan nomination some day... (n/t) Justice matters. Jul 2021 #79

She should sue for slander Layzeebeaver Jul 2021 #42

She's retired on a teacher's pension, I presume, and Tucker has a fortune. Lawsuits are expensive. Hekate Jul 2021 #51

Unless you can find a lawyer who will do it on a contingency basis. ShazzieB Jul 2021 #83
