It Begins: Tucker Carlson - Bolton is a "man of the left"

And here he is back in June on Bolton specifically while he was still employed.

from Wow: Tucker Carlson Calls National Security Advisor John Bolton a 'Bureaucratic Tapeworm' – RedState

“John Bolton is a kind of bureaucratic tapeworm. Try as you might, you can’t expel him. He seems to live forever in the bowels of the federal agencies, periodically reemerging to cause pain and suffering — but critically somehow never suffering himself.

“His life really is Washington in a nutshell: Blunder into obvious catastrophes again and again, refuse to admit blame, and then demand more of the same. That’s the John Bolton life cycle. In between administration jobs, there are always cushy think-tank posts, paid speaking gigs, cable news contracts. War may be a disaster for America, but for John Bolton and his fellow neocons, it is always good business.”

Neocon is synonymous with “man of the left”?

In Tuckers world view? Absolutely. Don’t you even know what the term neo-con means?

from Neoconservatism - Wikipedia

Neoconservatism (commonly shortened to neocon when labelling its adherents) is a political movement born in the United States during the 1960s among liberal hawks who became disenchanted with the increasingly pacifist foreign policy of the Democratic Party, and the growing New Left and counterculture, in particular the Vietnam protests. Some also began to question their liberal beliefs regarding domestic policies such as the Great Society.

This is a fascinating non-sequitur.

“Of course neocons are men of the left, they are the people who abandoned liberal ideology and wanted to spread Murica all over the world through military might”.

That’s all fine and dandy but Tucker is full of ■■■■ when he called Bolton “a man of the left”. Wonder why Tucker would say something like that?

Did you click on that? It’s from February. There has to be a Carlson defending these clowns from 2002-2015 super cut out there.

I found a video where Carlson was saying that he wished the war was for oil and that the white house was so liberal.

@zantax

He has been decrying neo cons far longer than that,

Oh, six whole months ago? Are we gonna ignore the decade plus he agreed with these ■■■■■■■■■■■■■ on everything?

Umm what? He originally supported the Iraq war in 2003, he changed his mind in 2004, so he’s been disagreeing with them for over as decade.

from Tucker Carlson Goes to War Against the Neocons | The National Interest

On Fox last Wednesday, Boot reminded Carlson that he originally supported the 2003 Iraq decision. “You supported the invasion of Iraq,” Boot said, before repeating, “You supported the invasion of Iraq.” Carlson conceded that, but it seems the invasion was a bona fide turning point. It’s most important to parse whether Carlson has a long record of anti-interventionism, or if he’s merely sniffing the throne of the president (who, dubiously, may have opposed the 2003 invasion).

“I think it’s a total nightmare and disaster, and I’m ashamed that I went against my own instincts in supporting it,” Carlson told the New York Observer in early 2004. “It’s something I’ll never do again. Never. I got convinced by a friend of mine who’s smarter than I am, and I shouldn’t have done that. . . . I’m enraged by it, actually.” Carlson told the National Interest that he’s felt this way since seeing Iraq for himself in December 2003.

@CassandraJoe

John “Nuke 'em 'Till They Glow” Bolton is a Leftie?

This guy Tucker Carlson must think Conservatives are total idiots that believe anything they’re told.

BINGO!!!

[Cratic3947]

The one part I disagree with Tucker on is Iraq. Iraq is better off today and we are better off that it is not under Saddam’s control and is more democratic now. That should be our goal for all nations…

[Cratic3947]

Bolton could probably be more blamed for failing to turn Venezuela back to democracy. Hopefully, we can still get that done with the help of south American democracies…

@PurpnGold

When has a Warhawk been “a man of the left”

Hillary Clinton

@Demon

I like the “don’t let the mustache fool you”. As if mustaches were left or right. Carlson’s nuts. Not to mention I haven’t heard a single progressive mourn Bolton’s quitting. The chaos in the administration, maybe. But not the loss of Bolton.

Now maybe Carlson can go back to the real issues plaguing the country.

[Demon]

Lol Gypsies! That crisis must have been averted, thanks to Tucker.

[gooddad409]

And so my prediction begins. I said the left would suddenly start defending/liking Bolton, a man they have hated forever, now that Trump fired him.

Shades of Jim Comey.

Can you point me to someone on the left defending Bolton?

It’s indirect. Blasting Carlson for bad mouthing Bolton. Subtle but there.

[Camp]

Looks like Bolton is not only going to be picked LAST when choosing teams…there will be a fight over who HAS to take him.

Trump gave him a shot and he flaked out. Tucker is mostly correct with his DC creature description, just don’t stamp a D on him…

It’s all good.

Weak. No one is defending lifelong Republican John Bolton by pointing out that Tucker Carlson is a corny idiot.

[gooddad409]

Just the facts.

No one has defended Bolton.

We are pointing and laughing at Tucker Carlson.
