Tucker Carlson was once a MAGA darling... [View all]

What happened??

Today he announced that he could not vote Republican. Naturally the Trump Republicans will dismiss it. Trump may even post on Truth Social about it?

But, in my opinion, it is not a good sign that Tucker Carlson is deserting the movement. I cannot imagine that he would be alone. He had a lot of followers.

It cannot be good that he is leaving the Republican Party.

He's a snide little shit but he appealed to a certain IQ.

Could this be a bit of good news for the Democrats?
