Add The New York Post on Google Crank conspiracist Tucker Carlson has decided to exit the Republican Party, and the only sensible response is, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
The podcaster has taken to wasting his talents on an eccentric, toxic agenda: Mysteriously pro-Vladimir Putin, obsessively anti-Israel, weirdly ashamed of America.
“If I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out, too,” he boasts — a claim as bizarre as his praise for Qatar, a nation that funds Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, persecutes Christian converts, restricts civil liberties and treats women as second-class citizens.
Laughably, Carlson says he feels sorry for his old friend Vice President JD Vance, “stuck” serving under President Donald Trump.
In fact, Vance deserves pity for his prolonged efforts to woo Tucker back into reality.
Carlson’s downward spiral was already becoming obvious in 2024, when he traveled to Moscow to interview Putin and sat still not only for the autocrat’s skewed historical ramblings but also Vlad’s open contempt for his interviewer.
He’s even wondered if Trump could “be the Antichrist.”
So Republicans can happily cheer his exit — while hoping he gets the professional help he so plainly needs.
