Dear Tucker,
When I first saw that you’re back in the news, I debated whether to give you the oxygen you’re looking for. I don’t mean to give you that little extra boost of air, but I hope this letter settles into a recent history slot so the future sees your pivots and judges you accordingly.
You spent two years telling millions of Americans to back President Donald Trump and the Republicans who helped put him back in the White House. Then you looked around, found a microphone, and discovered your conscience at the exact moment it could get you yet ANOTHER round of headlines.
Incredible timing! Truly, the saints must be jealous.
Back in April, you sat down with Buckley Carlson, your brother and former Trump speechwriter, and admitted you felt tormented by your support for Trump. You apologized for misleading people, then you said millions of Trump supporters were the reason the country reached the point you now condemn.
Very brave, Tucker.
Nothing says moral courage quite like helping build the house, waiting until the roof is on fire, and then giving a podcast tour of the ashes.
Now, however, you’ve gone further.
During your June 18 appearance on the Can’t Be Censored podcast with Travis Dhanraj and Karman Wong, you said there’s no chance you would support the Republican Party anymore. You said the party puts Israel’s interests above America’s interests, calling it immoral, saying you were out after 35 years of defending Republicans.
