I hope he’s planning on apologizing directly to the family of Brian Sicknick.

An extremely powerful recounting of the important and public record! Thank you, Mr. Prosecutor.

Thank you for taking time to collect those receipts, which are a matter of public record but can easily stay obscured in the ongoing shitstorm. Carlson is a born opportunist, gadfly, and cynic. His apology sounds heartfelt, but in the context of the receipts it's just ugly. He'll turn again any time he senses it might lead to increased influence for him. The only good that might come of this latest maneuver is that some of his followers will wander away from both him and Trump.

Tucker Carlson has obviously decided that the time is now right for him to throw his hat into your next presidential ring . Just digest that for a moment . As if the current maniac in the white house and his court of liars thieves and morons is not enough

Just wait ..

That was the most precise and exhaustive condemnation of Tucker’s moral character I’ve ever read. You’re a national treasure, Mr. Brock.

Tucker Carlson's (and Paul Begala's) career should have ended after Jon Stewart's "Crossfire" appearance.

For me, great description of the gap between the outside view and the lies one can tell oneself. I am very sure he has managed to convince himself of every word. That does not change the facts.

Disturbed? How about so self-interested as to be dangerous to the rest of us?

What's that other murder charge?

"Depraved Indifference Law and Legal Definition

To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant's conduct must be 'so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendant's conduct, not the injuries actually resulting."

I find this the precise descriptor/charging statement for many of our current cast of political operators.

I'm so glad you wrote this piece, I can use this to explain to some of my friends why I have ended my friendships with them for aligning with this man and others like him. Some were just naive and will change and then there are those who are exactly like Tucker.

Character is everything. Thankyou.

Terrific! Edmund Burke would have been proud to have delivered such a damning indictment of this dreadful, hollow creature. What a shame that an equally weighty philippic has not been heard in Congress directed at Trump himself, or have I missed something?

The final chapter of the dumbing down of America was hastened by the likes of Carlson , Fox News , Ellison , etc . Tucker could be a shoe in for your next president if the public does not wake 🆙
