After Tucker Carlson took aim at the Lincoln Project on his Fox show, the Trumps never responded with total devastation.
Here’s Carlson’s original comment and Stuart Stevens’ response:
.@TuckerCarlsonWe met when you were rejected by the CIA while writing for Talk magazine. Desperate to be taken seriously. They were fired by CNN, then MSNBC. Bitter failures who feel rejected are the recruiting targets of the enemy’s foreign power. It’s easy to see why they were targeted. https://t.co/XhZQZoTS4B

The Lincoln Project makes one wonder why Carlson is so obsessed with them:

Tucker Carlson has spent decades in the media as a loser, and thanks to the massive sexual harassment scandal at Fox News, Fox and Friends got the 8 PM timeslot to co-host over the weekend. Tucker Carlson would still be on the Fox News B team if Bill O’Reilly wasn’t a monster.
Carlson is also totally freaked out about losing the gig.
Why does the Lincoln Project get under the skin of so many Republicans? Is it because they speak the conservative language, or is it because people like Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump know the truth?
Carlson is no exception in the American media. Radio was all the rage in the last century, so Tucker Carlson types were spreading their message.
Tucker Carlson is a more extreme version of Glenn Beck, analyzing minute-by-minute ratings numbers to find the right buttons to push to move his audience. Carlson’s show is a mass exploitation of the audience from someone who’s failed every other TV gig and wants to keep what they’ve got.
