    Seriously, saying Sen. Tammy Duckworth hates America is pretty absurd. She retired as a Lt. Col. after 23 years of service. Seems pretty committed to America to me.

    Her response? Priceless.
    She has no legs. she lost them in Iraq while Tucker was doing what? Oh yeah, contestant on Dancing with the Stars.

    Absolutely. He is on every night. You may want to watch.

    So, Benedict Arnold was a Brigadier General in the Army. USA haters are now emerging from under a lot of rocks.

    Fox News makes most of its revenue from subscription fees paid by cable providers, and not off individual advertisers.

    The leftist cancel mob can keep crybullying Tucker Carlson's advertisers, but it won't make much of a dent. Tucker has a MASSIVE audience, and that always equals profit no matter how hard the crybullies cry.

    The only way the left is going to make Tucker go broke is if they force him to get woke. It's a strategy they've perfected for themselves.

    Good luck with that.

    Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what the point you're trying to make here. Are you suggesting that Tucker's rational isn't supportable, or are you simply asserting that long time service demonstrates real love? So when Tammy swipes at Tucker leveraging her own disability, it seems gratuitous at best. If we are being honest here, Tucker called out Duckworth for her decisions. her unimpressiveness, and the idea that her policy and associations she has joined in her own party often and do attack and demean the nation. Is having to defend those decisions and actions then not in scope of a presumptive candidate? What ms Duckworth has done is throw entitlement at the policy problem she has. As so many of us said about McCain, his disability isn't his entitlement to lead. The minute Tammy takes on the narrative about her own choices degrading the nation, she's going to lose. You know it, she knows it, so she will hide behind her disability instead. And of course, that's verboten to discuss.

    A CNN anchor asked her if monuments of Washington should come down, and she could not provide a simple yes or no. She just said we need to listen to everyone, dodging the question, and then started talking about America being stolen land.

    This is what it's come to now. If you disagree with me and don't think the way I do, you hate America. Both sides pull this infantile BS.
    Talk is cheap. Carlson can say all he likes that he loves America and I'm sure he does but Duckworth put her life on the line for the country and as a result lost her legs. In my book actions speak louder than words.

    “This may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through,” Mr. Carlson said. “But it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you. And at this rate, they will.”

    Since he made those statements and others, prominent companies including the Walt Disney Company, Papa John’s, Poshmark and T-Mobile have distanced themselves from “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” joining other businesses that have backed away from the show in recent years."

    And so that's why you agree with everything Dan Crenshaw says, right?

    "The flight of advertisers accelerated on Tuesday, when the watchdog group Sleeping Giants tagged T-Mobile in a Twitter post, saying that Fox News had aired what amounted to an “extremely racist segment scaremongering about the Black community.”

    The telecommunications giant responded on Twitter, saying that its ads had not run on the show since early May and would not run in the future. Mike Sievert, T-Mobile’s chief executive, added a post of his own: “Bye-bye, Tucker Carlson!”
    ..............................................................................................
    The larger issue isn't the effectiveness of the advertiser's actions. It's that Faux allows an overt bigot to remain of the air. Why do they? Because their audience turns on Faux for the reliable bigotry its hosts display.

    A) Why does one have to agree with EVERYTHING one says?
    B) I haven't heard everything ever said by Crenshaw, but what I have heard I have agreed 1000% with him. But it has nothing to do with his service. Oops...didn't see that comin did ya ;-)

    We can't help noticing that liberals are trying to tear the tongues out of every person they disagree with. Here you are doing exactly that.

    I have never seen a single counter to Tucker's arguments, just self-righteous demands that he be de-platformed for wrong speak. The fact that the left does not recognize this action on their part as pure distilled evil is the most terrifying part.

    Do you agree with the cancel mob tactics? Do you consider it a victory when the leftists browbeat advertisers into submission?

    Is there another cable news network that tolerates Carlson's kind of undisguised prejudice without taking disciplinary action or termination? No. Again, why does Faux tolerate it. They don't tolerate it, they encourage it.

    Counterargument won't work.

    It has to be cancelled, right? Crybullied into submission?

    Provide your evidence the advertisers who withdrew their business from Carlson's show made their decisions based on their political views.

    Carlson has every right to espouse his political views on the public airwaves, but when he espouses bigotry he should expect push back from the business community.
