Tucker Carlson assures me that this person does not exist.

“A State Department employee recently revealed to be deeply involved in the white nationalist movement…”

Wow – I guess there really is a reason for Congress to start investigating the “deep state”.

The reciprocal is Tucker may soon be trying to prove Tucker actually exists. Vacations sometimes get extended.

If the military ever investigates I suspect they would loose a quite a few members if they were forced out for white nationalist connections. I probably should’nt say quite a few, but I’ll bet there are more than you might think.

Poor White Nationalists… they though that Trump was going to deliver them from the tyranny of PCness and they would be able to come out of the racist closet. Alas! Trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself…

More proof that Republicans lack empathy. It only matters when it happens to them.

Carlson is taking a Jeanne Pirro style vacay since exposing his white supremacist attitudes without the obligatory dog-whistle that Faux News demands in his contract. He’ll return in a couple of weeks if not sooner after all the hullabaloo has died down and a new dog-whistle has been issued.

If you ever want to cut the military budget, that would be the easy way to do it. Expand it to the contractors and we will be talking serious savings.

Gee, can we get a similar outcome for Stephen Miller. Actually, outright firing would be better.

That one’s a bit troublesome. Not sure what Federal employment rules he’s accused of breaking. Nothing there indicates that he linked it back to his job or did anything untoward in that area. There are pretty explicit rules about stuff.

And that he took pains to do all of his stuff anonymously and thus clearly un-connected with his employment. Would be a different matter entirely if he were bragging about his job in his podcasts.

Shithead will use this to claim that the rise and acceptance of white supremacy is all Obama’s fault.

I’m serious, just wait for it.
