I hope one day Tucker will get his comeuppance in the form of FOX News turning on him or his reckless rhetoric putting him in actual legal trouble. At that point, I'm sure he'll use the defense that he is just "playing a character" like Alex Jones.

Ultimately, though, it doesn't matter what he believes. He still peddles bigotry and conspiracy theories to his amenable followers. His final day on the air will be a net gain for society.

He's already won in a court case with the judge determining that no one could take him seriously, or words to that effect. Here's the story in Business Insider:

I don't think he or fox would win this time. We're beyond "reasonable" people now. We have text messages proving he, and fox have lied, for years about trump. Behind closed doors saying 1 thing and on-air saying quite another. We're not talking defamation here. Think about it. He needs to be silenced and he needs to say hes lied for years to his viewers. Fox needs their license revoked.

Methinks I likes that thought a yourn. The story I referred to took place a long time ago, too.

Well, a large part of the GOP is a death cult, and they usually just love apostates...
