Tucker Carlson’s blistering attack on war hawk and national security adviser John Bolton, a Fox News colleague for more than a decade, was something you almost never see on Fox News. Yet this almost-principled stance was slathered with Carlson dishonesty.
Carlson’s principles only took him so far. He bent over backwards to suggest that the so-called liberal media attacked Donald Trump “for not killing enough people” when he called off a military strike on Iran (neatly overlooking the bloodlust on Fox). To anyone without an automatically-jerking Trumper knee, it could not have been clearer that Carlson’s real target was his own former colleague and Trump’s current national security adviser, John Bolton.
