Fox News host Tucker Carlson who continues to come under fire for his racist rhetoric zeroed in on potential Black women vice presidential candidates, accusing Joe Biden of selecting them “exclusively” based on their race and gender and calling those candidates unqualified.
It’s only legal if you are choosing exclusively between white men. I’m pretty sure it’s in the Constitution, in the book of Hezikiah, chapter 8, verse 12.
At some level, this is probably correct. For example, if I was hiring staff and I set aside all resumes that were either white and/or male and disqualified them based solely on those criteria, it would probably be illegal.
But when the comment comes from Tucker, it’s just more racist drivel.
I grew up in a western suburb of Detroit, once known as “the whitest city in America over 100k population” (the “white flight” out of Detroit). Many of my still-close friends grew up in the same city. Golfing with them the other day, one of them said “I like Tucker, I usually agree with him.”
I was devastated. Heartbroken. Prior to that comment I considered him one of the most sane and reasonable friends I still have (his brother, another “close friend,” has gone off the Fundamentalist Christian deep-end).
Racism and misogyny combined in one disgusting package. For Tucker, that makes it a good day to be alive. He’s Just a bottom feeder in a heavily polluted swamp.
A couple weeks back there was a “Carlson for President” rumble in the media. It would be just like our electorate to put the silly racist bastard in the WH in 2024 after the GOP convinces everyone Biden failed to fix things and we need to return to retrogradeapalooza.
His parents must have been very disappoint with their new baby. “Let’s call him Tucker”. They must have known what he’d be called for the rest of his life.
