Fox Tucker Carlson: 'Probably Illegal' For Biden To Pick VP Black Woman': Desperate Or Typical TC?

Tucker Carlson says it's 'probably illegal' for Joe Biden to pick a Black woman as vice president, Daily Kos, Aug. 4, 2020.

Fox News will no doubt eventually be forced to boot Tucker Carlson off their airwaves, likely for the same reason they were forced to part with Glenn Beck: At some point the host's increasingly rabid proclamations and incitements will create more legal liability to the company than the dwindling advertising revenues can make up for. Until that moment, however, Tucker and his band of ragingly racist writers will continue to produce the Tucker Carlson White Nationalism Funtime Show, sponsored by That Pillow Guy.

Tucker's latest claim: Three Black women on Joe Biden's shortlist of potential vice presidents is "probably illegal." Yeah, he said that. It's Tucker. This is his nightly song-and-dance...“For what could very well be the most important job on Earth, Biden has decided to hire exclusively on the basis of qualities that are both immutable and completely irrelevant—race and gender. And that’s it. But wait a second, you ask, isn’t that insulting? Isn’t it wrong? Isn’t it probably illegal? Yes, it is all three of those things.”

Tucker had personal insults for each of the 4 Black women he was singling out, of course: Rep. Karen Bass is a "lunatic," Stacey Abrams is allegedly "delusional," former National Security Adviser Susan Rice was something-something-Benghazi, and as for Sen. Kamala Harris: "Pretty much no one who knows Kamala Harris likes her."
(If this sounds almost exactly like the same insults Donald Trump himself hurls, it is no coincidence. It is well known that Tucker and Trump share a single brain..)

Biden has been considering other Americans besides those 4, of course. But it is those 4 whose presence Tucker considers "probably illegal." He does not mean it; this is just one of many hats Tucker Carlson has donned in his self-promotional career, but at the moment stirring up white nationalism of the Proud Boys, Klan, and bitter drunk uncles everywhere is the most lucrative path.

So sure, Biden being uncomfortable choosing yet another white man in this particular moment is "probably illegal," Tucker says in his nightly attempt to rile his racist audience...

That's all the Constitution requires. If one looks at career accomplishments, every single woman on Biden's list is far more qualified than Trump.

Why is he even on TV? He adds nothing positive to the airwaves.

And to think, we have had decades upon decades upon decades of choosing only old white men for Vice President. If you go by Tucker's reasoning, that had to have been just as illegal.

(1) He is a truly dumb POS, or

(2) He thinks audience are collectively dumb POSes, or

(3) Both 1 and 2.

I see no other options.

That's because he knows his viewers can't think for themselves. He knows all he has to do is lay it out there and his viewers will run with it. It's crazy what they're able to get people to believe, even though there's no absolute truth to it.
