"And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out."

"I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party," Carlson said, adding that the GOP has "betrayed" voters by prioritizing Israel's national security over America's.

"How could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States. That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens. It's not possible to vote for people like that, and I'm not going to."

If this is genuine we are witnessing several right-wing neugenics in progress.

Randy Rainbow, please "Cleanse the negative until it is transluscent, polish it until it positively glows!"

I subscribed to his YouTube channel just this morning after watching him interview Huckabee. How ironic.

He has my attention.

Let's take that Presidency, Tucker.

Hi Corky:

Randy's the best.

Sidenote: Sting, from The Police, grew up listening to the music of Broadway musicals, played to him by his parents. Gordon Sumner probably listened to classical musical as well like the rest of us aspiring musicians, but Sting made a note of the Broadway classics.

I think he may have produced a play in NYC as well about hard-working Scottish miners.

And to h*** with Margaret Thatcher.

Thanks for the link, Corky.

Randy's a real New Yorker (or could be).

And may the comely young lasses you encounter not furiously tug at their skirts in your gentlemanly presence.

... Tucker Carlson: "I'm Out" of the Republican Party ...

What took him so long?

I left the GOP in the early 2000's when the Tea Party started showing their white-supremacist and misogynist tendencies.

So, I ask again, what took him so long?

A classic version of the song, imo...

Oh Tuckems... just like all ex Faux Nooz desk tumors you will go back with them once the GOP is not extremely toxic.

Your core values are non-existent. You go whichever way the wind blows.

Tucker quits Republicans for not aligning with Russian ideals. lol.

"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testified under oath at a public inquiry that the Russian state-owned media outlet RT (Russia Today) funded Carlson to amplify messages and spread anti-vaccine claims."

"Investigative reports, including leaked memos published by Mother Jones, revealed that the Kremlin instructed state-controlled media outlets to heavily feature Carlson's broadcasts because his rhetoric aligned with Russian talking points."

"The extensive use of Carlson's clips on Russian state TV makes his commentary a major asset to Moscow's propaganda strategy, whether explicitly funded or ideologically driven."

Get back to me when he repudiates his buddies Orban and Putin.
Until then, Tuckyo Rose is just fishing for his next pool of suckers.

Carlson is sub-human filth. No person who is not sub-human filth fives a flying rat's ass what he says or does.
