Something I really like about Tucker Carlson?
He says what he thinks… even if it won’t be a popular opinion.
Tucker has often been criticized for speaking out against Trump when he disagrees with him. I think that’s misguided. As much as I support our President, he is an elected official. We all have a right to agree with him and DISAGREE with him. Disagreeing with our president is very different than not supporting our president.
Anyway, with as much flack as Tucker catches for calling Trump out when he disagrees with him, I’m sure Tucker will ALSO raise some eyebrows for what he just said about Elizabeth Warren.
Here's what @TuckerCarlson last night extensively quoting and praising @ewarren's economic plan, contrasting it with the inability of the GOP to defend US workers because they're in servitude to the Koch Brothers, corporatism & libertarian economic theory pic.twitter.com/QljYNBonFc

According to Daily Caller:
Carlson praised Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s economic plan during the opening segment of “Tucker Clarson Tonight.”
*GASP*
Despite the fact that I can’t STAND Elizabeth Warren, I actually think he has a point.
Carlson praised Warren’s “Plan for Economic Patriotism,” which she released earlier on Wednesday. The plan is meant to refocus trade policies and tax codes to help American workers instead of major businesses.
“She says the U.S. government should buy American products when it can, and of course, it should. She says we need more workplace apprenticeship programs because four-year college isn’t right for everyone,” Carlson began. “Well, that’s true.”
“There isn’t a caucus that represents where most Americans actually are: nationalist on economics, fairly traditional on the social issues,” he continued.
He does, however, continue on to say that while THIS stance is a good one, she’s too batsh*t on basically everything else to ever be considered a viable candidate.
So that’s that. He gave her credit where credit was due – and no more.
Isn’t it time we stop thinking partisanly on each and every issue? If you think an idea is a good one- you can admit it. Even if it’s not coming from “your side.”
