Fox’s Tucker Carlson turns on ‘incapable’ Trump in surprising interview

Conservative Fox News star Tucker Carlson appeared to go rogue in a recent interview, attacking US President Donald Trump for failed campaign promises and a general incapability as a leader.

Whereas liberal claims of Trump’s incompetence and lack of understanding are nearly inescapable in much of the media, the Fox News star’s recent comments came as a surprise to many, given his network’s overwhelming support for the president. Despite his own conservative convictions and previous support, Tucker did not pull any punches when asked about Trump by an interviewer from Switzerland’s Die Weltwoche.

When asked if Trump had met his campaign promises, Tucker responded with a resounding no:

His chief promises were that he would build the wall, de-fund planned parenthood, and repeal Obamacare, and he hasn't done any of those things.

Trump has no fundamental understanding of how “the system” works, Carlson argued: “He knows very little about the legislative process, hasn't learned anything, hasn't surrounded himself with people that can get it done.”

Milo Yiannopoulos punted from Patreon within hours of launching crowdfunding campaign

By Andrew Blake - The Washington Times - Thursday, December 6, 2018

Milo Yiannopoulos was punted Wednesday from crowdfunding platform Patreon within hours of the embattled right-wing media personality attempting to bankroll a “roaring” comeback.

Patreon removed a crowdfunding campaign created by the controversial former Breitbart News editor this week, joining Twitter on the list of online services to consider Mr. Yiannopoulos persona non grata.

“Milo Yiannopoulos was removed from Patreon as we don’t allow association with or supporting hate groups on Patreon,” Patreon said in a statement.

In an email shared by Mr. Yiannopoulos on social media, a Patreon representative said the campaign was removed specifically because of his ties to the Proud Boys, a “pro-Western fraternal organization” that critics have labeled a far-right mob with links to white nationalists.
