Tucker Carlson's absurd defense of Trump's Brzezinski tweets: "Barack Obama vacationed with rappers"

Tucker Carlson’s absurd defense of Trump’s Brzezinski tweets: “Barack Obama vacationed with rappers”

The Fox News host claims that the left "doesn’t hate Trump because he’s vulgar" but because "he's a nationalist"

MATTHEW ROZSA

Fox News host Tucker Carlson apparently doesn’t understand why liberals are mad at President Donald Trump for his frequent bullying tweets and other outrageous remarks. After all, President Barack Obama was friends with rappers!

Yes, this was indeed Carlson’s (most likely racist) logic, which is quoted in full below.

“Let’s be totally clear about this and not lie about it. The left doesn’t hate Trump because he’s vulgar, though he is. They applauded when Barack Obama vacationed with rappers. They think Lena Dunham is an artist. They hired Kathy Griffin,” Carlson sanctimoniously intoned during the Thursday evening edition of his Fox News show.

He added, “No, they hate Trump because he’s a nationalist who says the interests of America and its people ought to come first, and that’s fine. Let them hate him for that. The rest of the country loves it. That’s the real tragedy of today’s tweets. They were a diversion. When the president talks about the people who elected him, he wins. When he talks about himself, the left does. The president was not elected to pick fights with TV hosts.”

4. As best I can tell he "vacationed" with rappers by having rap songs on his Spotify vacation playlist

Carlson is an idiot.

Oh, and Trump invited Ted Nugent to dine in the White House.

Otherwise, Tucker (I really feel all grown up now that I'm not wearing a bow tie) Carlson wouldn't have mentioned it.
Ah - 10 rappers met with him in the White House...rappers like Alicia Keyes, Nikki Minaj, Ludacris - for that "My Brother's Keeper" initiative. And I'm sure Kanye met with President Obama, just like he met with Donald Trump in Trump Tower back last December...

Yeah, that's exactly the same as "locker talk" and cyberbullying...

(Because OBVIOUSLY Tucker fucking Carlson can read my mind and speak for me) but he's incorrect. I don't dislike trump because he's vulgar. I dislike trump because trump is a criminal and a TRAITOR.
