Just like Leap Year, Tucker Carlson of Fox News says something that is marginally coherent once every four years or so. Although when he does it is usually spiked with some ulterior political motive or the result of an accidental slip into the realm of reality. More often than not Carlson is steadfastly fixated on his white supremacist, pro-authoritarian points of view.<\/p>\n

On Monday Carlson diverged from his customary knee-jerk, Trump-fluffing screed to shower some pretty harsh criticism on the Republican Party he ordinarily props up. The tongue lashing delivered by Tuckums concerned the recently released “Commitment to America”<\/em> – the GOP House minority leader Kevin McCarthy’s hastily cobbled together policy statement that he intended to boost the Republican’s waning prospects for the midterm election. Releasing this pitifully shallow rehash<\/a><\/strong> of the 1994 Newt Gingrich “Contract with America”<\/em> just six weeks before the election was a clear act of desperation on McCarthy’s part.<\/p>\n

McCarthy’s “commitment”<\/em> included such vague banalities as creating “an economy that’s strong,” “a nation that’s safe,” “a future that’s built on freedom”<\/em> and “a government that’s accountable.”<\/em> Those goals, however, are diametrically opposed to what Republicans have done in practice. Particularly their record on producing weak economies and foregoing accountability for their lawless leaders (e.g. Donald Trump). Carlson appears to agree. He raged at Republicans saying that…<\/p>\n

“House Republicans just spelled out what they\u2019re running on. It\u2019s a document called the ‘Commitment to America.’<\/em> It\u2019s fine. Probably not much in it you disagree with. Have you heard of it? No. You probably haven\u2019t. You probably haven\u2019t read it. Nobody really cares. Why? Because there\u2019s nothing real in it.<\/p>\n

“There’s not a single word in that document about the attacks on the American family that you see every day. That’s at the center of most people’s concerns. How are my kids? Will they have a life that resembles mine? That was called the American Dream. Does it still exist? Will they be able to afford to live the way they grew up? Will they have the opportunities that we had? No! People are upset about that. Why wouldn’t they be? But nobody says it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
