Carlson blames Trump's response to protests on Kushner: “No one has more contempt” for Trump voters-
Fox host rips Trump for "weakness" after gas and rubber bullets were fired at protesters to clear way for photo-op---

Carlson accused Trump's son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner of preventing him from being even more aggressive.

"When the mobs came, they abandoned us," Carlson said. "This is how nations collapse — when no one in authority keeps order."

Carlson, who previously argued that looting was worse than police killings, called the protesters "the worst people in our society" and those who committed violence "vicious psychopaths" who were "trying to topple our political system." Carlson had little to say about the wall-to-wall images of force used against peaceful protesters, journalists and bystanders.


"We cannot allow ourselves to become like they are," the host said. "We are not animals — we are Americans."

"'No matter what,' they'll tell you: 'Our voters aren't going anywhere. The trailer parks are rock-solid. What choice do they have? They've got to vote for us,'" Carlson said. "Jared Kusher, for one, has made that point out loud. No one has more contempt for Donald Trump's voters than Jared Kushner does."

(The trailer parks are rock-solid? Eek. And they are still whining about Hillary using the term "deplorable." )

So is Kushner now supposed to be the sacrificial lamb?

And of course, they encouraged the blubbery right wing trolls who carried their AR-15s to state capitols screaming about their right to eat inside at Taco Bell.

The little fascist looked at the ground. Still, he continued in the footsteps of Pat Buchanan as the show’s designated RWNJ. If he hasn’t seen the light in all the decades since, it’s doubtful he ever will.

One way that a Trump loyalist like Carlson could criticize Trump without actually criticizing him directly is to passionately argue that he's being poorly served by someone in his inner circle.

The peril in this approach is that Jared is extremely close to Trump; he's not disposable like some other Trump aides and advisors are. So this criticism is likely to infuriate Trump.

What trashy comments by Tucker Carlson across the board.

That trailer parks comment sounds like something Howard Stern would say to mock his MAGA listeners.

Dictionary.com-"Dictionary.com has described the term:

A cuck is a derogatory slang term for a weak, effeminate, or inadequate man. Cuck has also been blended with conservative to produce cuckservative, often shortened back to cuck. Both cuck and cuckservative are especially used online by white nationalists to insult US Republican politicians they judge as insufficiently conservative.

Did you mean to bring that RW meme into DU?
