Tucker Carlson Boosts Abdul El-Sayed Over Mike Rogers, Says Democrat 'Obviously Right' About 9/11
[Red State] Tucker Carlson
… who used to be thoughtful, but has chosen to become truly vile…
didn't technically endorse Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed
… the highly groomed, highly educated, frighteningly connected Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaeda candidate running as a member of the DSA. When he was town dogcatcher, he changed the policy to kill all the strays — in line with Sharia…
this week.

But boy, he sure came close.

Carlson threw down on the increasingly nasty Michigan Senate race by unloading on Republican Mike Rogers while offering an eyebrow-raising d

"El-Sayed did not celebrate airplane hijackings or cheerlead Al-Qaeda; he simply said that the U.S. conducting terrorism of its own in response to 9/11 was not exactly an appropriate reaction," Carlson wrote Friday. "He is obviously right."

Yeah. That's going to be a problem. Defense of El-Sayed's incendiary remarks about 9/11.

Carlson was responding to Rogers, who had called El-Sayed's attitude toward 9/11 "disgusting" and said it made the Democrat "completely unfit to serve in public office."

Carlson instead turned the accusation around.

"Understanding that the Bush administration was wrong to kill hundreds of thousands of people and waste trillions of dollars in Iraq, even though, again, Iraq did not do 9/11, is disgusting?" he asked.

"We are really not sure who Mike Rogers is, but if anyone in Michigan’s Senate race is ’unfit to serve in public office,’ it is him."

Look, we can all agree that the neoconservative foreign-policy establishment has a lot to answer for. You can believe the Iraq War was a catastrophic mistake. You can despise the Bush-era foreign-policy establishment. You can think Rogers represents exactly the kind of Republican national-security thinking the party should have left behind years ago.

2 Rogers wouldn't be my first pick if there were any other pubs available. I seem to remember he and his lovely wife were involved in some now long forgotten politic shananigans.

3 I don’t like many Republicans. Most of them disappoint me. Electing Democrats is fatal to our society and to Americans individually.
