Tucker Carlson's absurd, ongoing caricature of “the left” Written by Brendan Karet Published 05/10/19 10:28 AM EDT When Fox News host Tucker Carlson isn’t promoting white supremacist conspiracy theories and attempting to mainstream white nationalism, he devotes a significant portion of his show to describing his version of “the left” and what “the left” believes. “The left” is many things to Carlson: It “despises the American flag,” continues to fight a “war on Christmas,” believes immigrants “are better for America than you are,” and wants to “abolish” America.
