Tucker Carlson is the new Donald Trump, Brian Stelter says
CNN
"Tucker Carlson is the new Donald Trump," CNN's Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter said on "Reliable Sources" Sunday.
Carlson is practically the face of Fox News, as he hosts the top show on the network. With Republicans out of power in the White House and Congress, Stelter argues that Carlson has filled the void Trump left when he was voted out of office. "Tucker has taken Trump's place as a right-wing leader, as an outrage generator, as a fire-starter, and it's all taking place on Fox, just as Trump's campaign did," Stelter said. "Every day, Carlson is throwing bombs, making online memes, offending millions of people also delighting millions of others, tapping into White male rage and resentment, stoking distrust of big tech and the media, generally coarsening the discourse, never apologizing for anything and setting the GOP's agenda. Sounds like a recently retired president, right?"More Related News
