Tucker Carlson launches loathsome, mocking attack on members of intelligence community with disabilities

Carlson: “Well, what is the blind guy's job, exactly? What does he do in our fabled Intel community? How is he keeping America safe? We don't doubt that he is, but how?”

TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): There's one on the screen. We now have conclusive photographic evidence that our spy agencies employ several people with different color skin. There's even a woman in a wheelchair. There's also a man who appears to be blind.

Now, how do we know he's blind? We don't make assumptions like that. But in this case, he's got Ray Charles glasses on, a cane, and a seeing-eye dog. That seems a lot for one man -- remember, the best spies have a backup plan. 

Let's say Russian assassins come after our blind intelligence agents as he's picking up a dead drop of microfilm on a park in East Berlin.  Somehow they managed to take out his seeing-eye dog. Maybe with a net? It's okay, he can manage because he still has both the cane and the Ray Charles glasses.

And by the way, we assume the cane shoots curare darts, but the CIA, they think of everything, that's their job.

Well, what is the blind guy's job, exactly? What does he do in our fabled Intel community? How is he keeping America safe? We don't doubt that he is, but how?
