Great @EliLake piece on Tucker Carlson's steady transformation into Father Coughlin thefp.com/p/tucker-carls…
@NoahPollak @bariweiss @EliLake About 85% of the article is good. But a few times he pushes leftist talking points, like repeating the “Jewish space lasers” hoax (MTG never said that), or when Eli calls it a “conspiracy theory” to point to FBI involvement in Jan 6th. But this is exactly right:
@NoahPollak @EliLake Had to look up Father Coughlin. Pretty easy to see why people don't like israel when you use killing words on everyone who questions it.
@NoahPollak @EliLake Carlson has some roots as an Irish/British name, so it kind of fits since Coughlin was Irish-Catholic. Are you talking about policy positions or popularity?
@NoahPollak @EliLake You think this is new but this is been the Republican party now for 10 to 15 years.
@NoahPollak @EliLake Neo-Con @EliLake & @NoahPollak nationalbook.org/books/voices-o… .... penguinrandomhouse.com/books/18405/vo… More like Richard Nixon's 'Generation of Treason' descriptor for 'The New Deal' ...
@NoahPollak @EliLake Father Coughlin; great analogy.....
@NoahPollak @EliLake That was a great read. I feel like I could have written the same thing had I the aptitude to do so.
@NoahPollak @EliLake Is Tucker Catholic ?😆
