Men and women in their early 50’s who have spent years producing daily commentary on world events do not change their opinions overnight. So what happened to Tucker Carlson? Has Tucker Carlson truly changed? Or has he perhaps recently decided to reveal his true biases against the Jewish State and the Jewish people?
The Republican Party of the United States is predominantly filled with people who see the importance of the security of the United States in ways that Democrats do not. They understand that the world has many dangerous actors that must be disrupted and stopped in their tracks. They understand that a porous border is not just a minor issue that will affect the amount of illegals flooding American cities and delivering illegal substances to the streets of the USA. But a porous border can literally bring down cities as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and other cities can attest to.
But therein lies the confusion that has led to the true colors of some people to be revealed. The America First movement has confused issues such as stopping unbridled immigration with isolationism on the world scene. The legitimate attempts to keep the problematic illegals from flooding the borders does not justify a policy of appeasement with Vladimir Putin. Placing the welfare of Americans first by securing the borders goes hand in hand with recognizing that Vladimir Putin, the CCCP and Iran all are dangerous actors that threaten the borders and citizens of the United States, especially if they coordinate their efforts.
But Tucker Carlson, for many years has been blurring those lines. His attitude towards Vladimir Putin and Russia has consistently been one of admiration, and his attitude towards any form of involvement on the world stage of American power has been negative.
Yes, he sees most things more clearly than most commentators. But he clearly has biases towards anyone who supports active American involvement in foreign affairs outside of economic sanctions. This isolationist attitude is enormously dangerous and is not shared by Donald Trump. President Trump ha declared time and again that he is against never-ending wars. But he absolutely does support shows of force via precision strikes such as the one the United States did against Iran as a follow-up to the Israeli attack on Iran.
Tucker Carlson has actually been consistent over the years, but he has hid his strongly held isolationist views under the veil of other concerns over the last few decades. Now that US involvement in the Middle East has come to the fore, he has been revealed as the isolationist “don’t get involved” supporter that he is.
