Driving While Tucker Carlson

Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s reaction to the Derek Chuavin verdict was utterly predictable. He blamed Black Lives Matter, claiming that the jury had caved to the racial justice movement. Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, cops still are killing nonwhite people because… they feel like it.

Let’s just stay it: Tucker Carlson is a weenie. He’s always ben a weenie. A spoiled, rightwing brat who was given a seat at the big people’s table on Fox News after Bill O’Reilly finally got bounced for molesting the help — and little Tucker finally got all grown up and stuff and got rid of his bowtie. A WEENIE, in Carlson’s case, stands for White Extremely Entitled Nudnik (or Neo-Nazi, depending on his rant of the evening).

Carlson needs to get out of his posh bubble now and then. He needs a lesson about real life. He needs to be pulled over for a routine traffic violation by trigger-itchy Black cops. Police officers who regard him as suspicious, even dangerous — who think he fits the profile of an armed white nationalist (they’d be right in that conclusion). Then we’ll see how knee-jerk Carlson remains in defense of the police. After he’s been dragged from his luxury automobile, feels the business end of a police baton, has guns pointed at his head, is slapped in handcuffs and pinned face down to the ground.

I’m ready for the next step in the education of a weenie.
