š§µTHREAD ON TUCKERāS DARK TURNš§µ Probably 6 years ago, a left-wing mom from New Jersey (I think) called me. Her young adult son was tangled up in transgenderism. She told me: āI canāt stand Tucker Carlson, but I watch him because heās the only one speaking up for my kid.ā 1/9
And itās true. During my early years (2017-2021) of reporting on this wretchedness, he was the lone figure in major media who would tell the unvarnished truth about castrating children via āgender-affirming care.ā It was a relief that ANYONE with his platform size got it. 2/9
Heād even interview leftwing dissenters to this madness (feminists, lesbians, and others) on his show, allowing them to speak. No mainstream media would do that during those years, as they were (and still are) fully ideologically captured by trans activists. 3/9
Iām small-potatoes in the media, but I was covering the issue assiduously at The Christian Post, and let me tell you, it was very lonely then. Those of us on this beat were wondering if anyone could hear us, as thousands were being sterilized and maimed via this ācare.ā 4/9
It was like screaming into the void. And so, when given the chance to be a part of Tuckerās FOX Nation documentary āTransgressive: The Cult of Confusion,ā I was willing to appear in it. It was released in the fall of 2022 and was well done. Beggars canāt be choosers. 5/9
But if youāre wondering why many people are so disoriented about the turn he has taken, remember that on THAT insanity, he told it like it was, while the legacy press was lying through its teeth. And that helps explain why what heās doing now is so vertigo-inducing. 6/9
Watch this clip of him with Rep. Robin Lundstrum, an Arkansas state lawmaker who got the first-ever bill in the U.S. enacted into law that prohibited trans-ing minors. Doesnāt get more spot-on than this, right? https://x.com/ColumbiaBugle/st... 7/9
But ever since then, and by giving oxygen and softballs to the abominable Nick Fuentes, yet aggressively grilling Sen. Ted Cruz, many people are done. Itās transparently manipulative. The double standard is obscene. 8/9
Sure, he has free speech like anyone. But this is not journalism. Itās a despicable smuggling in and mainstreaming of insanity and depravity under the guise of just asking questions. Itās horrendous. Discern the times. And test the spirits, yāall (1 John 4:1). 9/END
@BrandonMShow OK, I give up. I know nothing about Nick Fuentes but so many people are insisting he's awful that I'm going to have to watch the Tucker interview.
@BrandonMShow The issue is far from resolved. While minors are more protected, the minute they turn 18 they're vulnerable to the medical cult and there's nothing parents can do. Biology is still being mis-taught in schools. Is he still on the beat?
@BrandonMShow Brandon Showalter is a Scofield edit heretic. He knows he is a Scofield edit heretic. Unfollow him.
@BrandonMShow A lot of us "little people" and anti trans activist were screaming about the problems and that's the only reason Tucker took it up. He knew where the wind was blowing and didn't want to miss out on the viewer$$$.
@BrandonMShow My theory is that when at Fox he was limited by time constraints and editorial oversight. There are many people for whom the independence of oversight has been good for them. Tucker is not one them. Long form combined with audience capture has been disastrous.
@BrandonMShow Tucker had a good writers and producers, who made him look smarter than he was. He also had staff who trolled through the dark web/4chan/reddit for news until Fox shut that down.
@BrandonMShow The people who despise Tucker the most used to record him on FOX. I know this because Im one of those people.
@BrandonMShow Ted Cruz is is not exactly a rule model for politics. He never talks about the islamization of TX. Never. Tx is ground zero.
@BrandonMShow Have you considered that maybe heās just early on todayās issues, just like he was with the trans shit?
@BrandonMShow All I see are posts like this or ones about Epstein. Iām not interested in either topic so why is my attention always being pulled in these directions? Someone called about a child w gender dysphoriaābut Tucker? What? It sounds ridiculous. You donāt need to write a whole story.
@BrandonMShow The danger of uncovering a conspiracy is you may become conspiratorial. Seems like it happened here.
@BrandonMShow I honestly think Candace and Tucker are the leftist enemies from within, and neither were ever conservatives or MAGA.
@BrandonMShow Something something broken clocks. There wasn't a forever war Tucker didn't support.
@BrandonMShow Cope and seethe Ziocon bitch š
