The intense campaign to destroy Tucker and others like him (MTG, Massie, even Candace: who had been universally beloved in conservatism before Oct 7) is driven almost exclusively by Israel.

When Tucker had his prime-time Fox show from 2016-23 -- the highest-rated ever -- virtually no prominent conservative ever uttered a peep of public criticism. Even when Fox fired him, some GOP legislators ran to Politico to celebrate his firing because they said he made it harder for them to fund Ukraine. But even then, when cheering Tucker's firing, they cowardly hid behind anonymity - knowing their conservative base loved Tucker. The only difference between then and now is Oct. 7. After that, Biden and Trump both gave Israel unlimited billions, arms and military protection for Israel's repulsive crimes in Gaza. The US isolated itself from the world to protect Israel. We imposed censorship practices in the US to protect Israel. The US deployed its own military to protect them and fought for Israel. Politicians went there more than their own districts. All that caused many people -- including Tucker and other influential conservatives -- to publicly focus on Israel and US devotion to it for the first time. They began objecting to US subservience to Israel and Israel's monstrous behavior itself, as well as the extreme influence of Israel in domestic US politics (all of which was long known to many who have studied Israel well before 2023, but huge numbers only looked the first time in the last couple years). The intense campaign to destroy Tucker and others like him (MTG, Massie, even Candace: who had been universally beloved in conservatism before Oct 7) is driven almost exclusively by Israel. Israel supporters finally realize that they lost a generation or more of conservatives who will never unsee what they saw. They see the unravelling poll numbers and are panicking. Expelling Tucker from the conservative movement isn't about reversing that trend. They can't. It's about setting an example for what will happen to other conservatives in the future who think about questioning or objecting to US devotion to this foreign country.

So, all of the worst people in the country gathered together to attack the great Tucker Carlson. I’ll be doing a show about it tomorrow (and it’s gonna be a big one) but for now I’ll just say this: You will cancel Tucker Carlson over all of our dead fucking bodies. You war
