Opinion: What Tucker Carlson didn’t tell Fox viewers
Tucker Carlson, host of"Tucker Carlson Tonight," poses for photos in a Fox News Channel studio in New York in March 2017. By Max Boot Max Boot Columnist covering national security Email Bio Follow Columnist April 11 at 12:39 PM I can always tell when Tucker Carlson has attacked me — something that he does with monotonous and mysterious regularity. And it’s not because I watch his antics. All I have to do is read my emails.
Much of his monologue consisted of over-the-top ad hominem insults that aren’t fact-checkable – e.g., “Going to [Boot] for foreign policy advice is like giving Jeffrey Dahmer a cooking show.” Really? He’s comparing me to a serial killer. Still, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan would say, Carlson is entitled to his own opinion. He’s not entitled to his own facts.
Carlson complained that U.S. military forces are “overextended”: “As of Tuesday night, we have nearly 175,000 active-duty personnel serving overseas. American troops are posted in 158 different countries.” He alleged that people like me don’t care about our borders but are “really concerned about medical care in Morocco. That’s a problem we must solve immediately. Luckily, we have Exercise African Lion. Never heard of it? You’re paying for it.
