Tucker Carlson Lost It After Historian Called Him ‘Millionaire Funded By Billionaires’

Fox News host Tucker Carlson cursed at a guest and called him a moron during an interview for his Fox News show recently after the guest, historian Rutger Bregman, said that Carlson was “a millionaire funded by billionaires,” according to video released Wednesday by NowThis News.

Billionaires hire millionaires to lie to stupid people watching Fox. Not exactly a surprise. Now is it?
 
Carlson has a net worth of $16 million and a nice easy gig.

Chris Cuomo has a net worth of $9 million, salary $4 million. Son of ex-Governor NY, brother of current Governor NY. Chris Cuomo Net Worth | Celebrity Net Worth

Rachel Maddow has a net worth of $20 million, salary $7 Million. Rachel Maddow Net Worth | Celebrity Net Worth

Jim Acosta has a net worth of $4 million, salary $700,000. What is Jim Acosta from CNN's Net Worth?

So I guess it's not a surprise that Left-wing "Billionaires hire millionaires to lie to 'stupid people' (as per your quoted viewpoint) watching" CNN too, right? :roll:

Bezos, Zuckerberg, Travis Kalanick, Mitt Romney, etc.. Have you seriously never seen this monologue? He completely rips the financial elite in control of both parties.

Can you show me some links to him attacking Trump (financial elite) and Mnuchin (financial elite). I know he attacks Bezos (Bezos is mean to Trump) and I know he's joined the other fake Republicans in attacking Romney (he's also mean to Trump).

Please post some links to Carlson attacking our President and Secretary of the Treasury, both of whom are every definition of financial elite.

And unlike Trump, Bezos and Zuckerberg are self made men.

I wonder if we will see some clips of him attacking the financial elite Sean Hannity.

I asked for clips of him attacking Trump and Mnuchin for being part of the "financial elite".

Can't find anything on Mnuchin, but here he is attacking Trump for going soft on immigration and betraying his populist message.



And if you have time, here's another video of him where he's not exactly kind to Trump throughout:



Tucker at this time is essentially a populist, and he only supports Trump in so far as he remains loyal to that populist message. Whenever Trump strays, he attacks. Did you see that interview he had with Bolton before Trump hired him?

Lol, I'll defend Tucker, but I'm not going anywhere near Hannity. He's just a Republican talking head.

He doesn't attack these people for being rich. He attacks them for their gross hypocrisy of treating their own workers like trash while telling us all how to be moral.

So let me see a clip of him attacking Trump and Mnuchin for just that. Let me see a clip of him attacking Trump for being an uber-rich man who was paying illegals slave wages to clean the port-a-potties at his golf clubs, while barking at every citizen of this country about how bad illegals are.

Those are not clips of Tucker attacking Trump for being part of the financial elite.

Goofy Carlson going into a meltdown over Bregman's commentary made for Comedy Gold!

Bregman made a lot more sense than Carlson... triggering a frustrated Carlson into hurling an onslaught of lowbrow insults.

Carlson came off as a Real Moron and the one with the tinier brain.

Bregman 1

I rarely come here to post about issues like the Covington Kids vs. the 6 crazy adults or the Empire star pretending he was assaulted by white nationalists, because we need more discussion about issues like this. "Fake news" comes in a distant second to "irrelevant news." Hate crimes went up about 15% in the year after Trump took office (if I'm wrong, correct me, I know they went up considerably). That's a real story. Synagogue bombings are hate crimes. The march in Charlotsville, which was really a Nazi march, was a real story. But the news most of you read - apologies for accurately generalizing - takes these headlines and turns them into "who is to blame?" instead of "this is happening."

If you're an alcoholic, you don't check into a psych unit and figure out what happened in your childhood that led you to drink. You detox. You admit that you have a problem and everybody knows that. I find it very sad that it takes a Dutch historian in a buried Fox interview to point out that we have a problem. It isn't that liberals are violent because almost all of them aren't. It isn't that Republicans are racist because most of them aren't. It is that we want those things to be true, and because we want them to be true, the media that flourishes is the media telling us that they are true.

Fox anchors are all millionaires paid by billionaires. Yep. And the leaders of this country are all millionaires paid by billionaires. Whoever challenges Trump - Republican or Democrat - should have the following campaign slogan - we are powerless over propaganda and our Republic has become unmanageable.

It was claims of hate crimes that went up, though to be honest I've seen plenty of conflicting polls, list and graphs about the actual number. I do know that a few sites did pop into existence to record the "faked" hate crimes however. So that at least says something.

This was brought up on another thread. But no cite has been linked as of yet that compares both of the numbers, t my knowledge at least.
