TUCKER CARLSON – Host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight”, weeknights at 9 PM ET on Fox News.

Topic: Trump’s Tweets

• Tucker Carlson says the “real tragedy” of President Trump’s tweets about MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski is that they’re distracting from his agenda.

• In his opening monologue last night, Tucker said the left is angry at Trump not because he’s offensive or vulgar, but because he’s a threat to them and their beliefs.”They hate Trump because he’s a nationalist who says the interests of America and its people ought to come first,” Tucker said. “That’s fine. Let them hate him for that. The rest of the country loves it.”

• He said the tweets, however, are an unhelpful and unnecessary diversion from Trump’s agenda of helping the American middle class.
