Glenn Greenwald gave an excellent summation of Tucker Carlson’s history at Fox, from advocating for Julian Assange to criticizing the war in Ukraine from the outset. (Bonus: Dunking on AOC!)

I think the whole video is well worth the watch, but if you’re in a hurry, start at 1:21:42 for the “little tyrant” coverage, lol.


“Like so much of what she says, it is not just authoritarian, but incredibly stupid and ignorant.”


“And the fact that she’s sitting here calling on the government, the Biden administration, to ban adversary media, arguing that the only conservative network in the country should be banned by the government, makes her and the people who follow her as authoritarian and tyrannical and fascist and whatever other cliché words you wanna use to describe that, as anyone in this country.

“If you’re at the point where you’re demanding that the government ban adversarial opposition media, there is no faction more authoritarian than that. And no political figure more authoritarian than hers. †

“And I just wanna be clear that this is the extremely defining standard view of left liberal politics in America. She has not said anything aberrational or unusual or out of the ordinary for left liberal politics which is why not a single left liberal media figure, not a single one of her prominent followers has stood up and objected because they agree with her. They support state corporate censorship.”

“Now the biggest irony of all, it won’t surprise you to learn that AOC is a gigantic hypocrite, is that her argument for why Tucker and other shows should be banned, namely that they eminently incite violence is an absolute lie, he never has. The person who has actually praised and incited violence is AOC herself. In 2019 she was on a podcast and she talked about the inevitability of violence coming from marginalized groups if they don’t get what they want.”

AOC: I believe that injustice is a threat to the safety of all people. Because once you have a group that is marginalized and marginalized and marginalized, then you create a popul— Like once someone doesn’t have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot.

“So you can watch Tucker Carlson’s show every day for five years and you will not find anything even in the universe of inciting violence like what she just said, which is: Unless you adopt my policies that I believe in for ‘marginalized groups,’ it becomes rational and inevitable for them to go and riot. That is inciting violence, if anything is.”


† I think Zelenskyy might give her a run for her money. They’d probably get along great—AOC wants to ban opposition media; Zelenskyy already has!
