Another funny thing is seeing hedge fund baby. Tucker Carlson, turn against capitalism..

Strain is too restrained to mention: Carlson did not target Paul Singer's hedge fund at random. Singer is an important funding source for less Trump-y Republicanism. This item isn't "populism," it's retribution against the remnants of independent thought in the GOP t.co

Thread. @TuckerCarlson, two nights ago, had a segment with the theme that it's midnight in America. He blames capitalism, and, specifically, capitalists. More specifically, he blames investor Paul Singer. Mr. Carlson's segment was absurd. https://twitter.com/MichaelRStrain/status/1202580701264130048 youtube.com/watch?v=IdwH06 6g5lQ&feature=emb_logo …
Tucker Carlson's family background:
Carlson was born Tucker McNear Carlson (later, Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson) in San Francisco, California. He is the elder son of Richard Warner Carlson, a former "gonzo reporter"[2] who became the director of the Voice of America, the president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the U.S. ambassador to the Seychelles.[3]
In 1979, Carlson's father married divorcée Patricia Caroline Swanson, an heiress to Swanson Enterprises. Swanson is the daughter of Gilbert Carl Swanson and the niece of Senator J. William Fulbright.[3][13] This was the third marriage for Swanson who legally adopted Carlson and his brother.[11][13]
When Carlson was in first grade, his father moved him and his brother to La Jolla, California and raised them there.[14][15] In La Jolla, Carlson attended La Jolla Country Day School and grew up in a home overlooking the La Jolla Beach and the Tennis Club.[16] His father owned property in Nevada, Vermont, and islands in Maine and Nova Scotia.[16][2] |
