As someone who lived through the 90s it’s pretty great that politicians are being accused of not being gay now. It shows how far acceptance has come.
NO!
I mean I don’t give a shit either way but…
GASP SHOCKS
If it makes the accuser happy with themselves or whatever.
Carlson “proof” was that a producer of his show who is also gay said so. Saying about his producer, "Gays all keep close track of that stuff.” I didn’t know that gay folk all knew each other. I’m sure Tucker Carlsons producer is a well-connected gay person, totally not just a self-hating gay person who hates their community and anyone who is a part of their community who is well known.
I didn’t know that gay folk all knew each other.
They all meet at the same cafe for brunch on the second Tuesday of every month.
The whole “GayDar” thing is a total myth. We actually have Homeshexual, an autonomous self-organising cryptographic mesh network.
I actually work as a network engineer for the company. Maintaining those motes is a huge PITA.
Should I care about something that I don’t care about? Probably not.
former Fox News hostRussian mouthpieceThey’re the same picture.
Dude is an American who has been spouting vile homophobia since before the soviet union dissolved
I think we all know who Tucker is. I meant mouthpiece for Russia, not that he is Russian.
He never should have been allowed back on television after Stewart shamed him into ditching the stupid bow ties
Stop pretending he’s not an All American Boy. Stop fucking blaming others. The call is coming from inside the house. Always has been.
The dude’s talking points have been featured on Russian state TV and he flew over to interview Putin in February. I don’t really care where he grew up and I’m not blaming anyone. Just pointing out his agenda.
Carlson’s 1991 Trinity College yearbook lists him as a member of the “Dan White Society” and the “Jesse Helms Foundation.” White is the person who assassinated Harvey Milk, the groundbreaking out politician who urged gay people to “come out.” Helms, the late Republican senator from North Carolina, was notoriously racist and viciously anti-gay.
This is America.
His agenda is homegrown extremism. Putin’s reactionary regime is a natural ally for people like Tucker. But when you Make it sound like Putin is calling all the shots, youre both buying into Russian propaganda and whitewashing American history
That’s fair. The “natural ally” aspect was my point. The rest was unintentional.
There are two points getting conflated, and rightfully so. Tucker does spout off a ton of white supremacy and homophobic garbage to gain the popularity with the far-right and he used his platform to echo Kremlin propaganda. Both of those points likely paid very well.
When it comes to misinformation campaigns, yes. Putin appears to call most of the shots. When Putin does any kind of speech, he essentially gives talking points for Russian media to amplify and repeat ad-nauseam for weeks afterward. This is also picked up by right/far-right social media sites and reporters in the US.
While Tucker was likely a useful ally at first, it seems the relationship between Tucker and the Kremlin was fully weaponized leading up to when Trump took office. This has resulted in far-right politicians getting elected and almost by default, their direction is set by Putin and Russian misinformation.
While Putin may not directly “call the shots”, his agenda likey sets the tone for all of his stooges.
The dude’s talking point have been featured on American TV for DECADES. The fact that the Russian’s state current agenda/psyop aligns with it is purely coincidental. His agenda has aligned with the American right since the evangelical revival of the 70s. Stop blaming others for a fully home grown reality.
Carlson won’t tell you it’s because he asked him out but he got rejected
His booty was judged
“You are the weakest twink. Buh-bye!”
Carlson is just making a big deal about this because of the seeming emergence of Christian nationalism. Just trying to create a controversy, get his name in the news. What consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms is their own damn business and no one elses.
What’s with all the obsession about how other people choose to live their lives. These political types are just trying desperately to find something to be offended about constantly. Absurd.
The actual interesting bit in this story is all the mounting evidence that Carlson himself is very likely closeted.
I never considered this…
I wonder …… if in his mind….
“ he’s not gay, because he turned me down in an airport bathroom”
Maybe?
That assumes pond scum has a sexuality.
Anonymous sources have confirmed Buttigieg and his husband do not maintain eye contact during sex and always say “No homo” immediately before and afterwards, thus confirming their straightness.
In crew socks no less.

“If he is really gay, why didn’t he accept my offer for gaying each other”
