Tucker Carlson is under scrutiny for his shift in views towards foreign policy, with critics accusing him of promoting foreign tyrants and terrorists. Various commentators, including Eli Lake, have criticized Carlson for allegedly platforming conspiracy theorists and blurring the line between good and evil. The criticism revolves around Carlson's perceived moral relativism and departure from traditional conservative stances on foreign policy.
Particularly corrosive about Tucker Carlson these days, writes Eli Lake, is how he's muddied the line between good and evil and persuades "a large segment of the American right to abandon its rightful contempt for foreign tyrants, terrorists, and cranks." https://t.co/2F8IVDJd7D
Why is Tucker Carlson persuading the American right to abandon its rightful contempt for foreign tyrants and terrorists? @EliLake in @TheFP: https://t.co/3MWEcdD0Bl
“What was most appalling was Tucker’s descent into moral relativism, his muddying of the line between good and evil. For Tucker, America is not exceptional; it is no better than its enemies.” @EliLake in The Free Press: https://t.co/BMBo9StXIF https://t.co/khmYu6yns3
“When I tuned in last June to watch @TuckerCarlson’s new show on X, it became apparent that Fox had kept him tethered to reality. Without a strong editor or producer at the wheel, his skepticism has curdled into sophistry.” @EliLake in The FP: https://t.co/BMBo9StXIF https://t.co/JIkDf5phFZ
“He is now platforming conspiracy theorists, allowing them to spout falsehoods while never challenging the veracity of their claims,” @EliLake writes in The Free Press. How Tucker Carlson turned from truth-teller to crank: https://t.co/BMBo9StXIF
“Once Tucker was too smart to allow his ideological rivals to determine his opinions. Now he proudly apologizes for evil and calls it the truth.” @EliLake: Why is @TuckerCarlson persuading the American right to embrace foreign tyrants and terrorists? https://t.co/BMBo9StXIF
Yup. @TuckerCarlson exposed himself as a Big Fraud on the America First topic. Astounding how he criticized @benshapiro for being focused on the butchery of 1,200 people in 12 hours in a country aligned with the US, yet every week Tucker has a foreign-based segment. https://t.co/uKQQNlckD9
