Russell Brand: Right Wing? Left Wing? Grifting! 1:2 - Right Wing, Tucker Carlson, Super Mensch!

Chapter 2: Tucker Carlson - Super Mensch


We’re on a journey to explore Russell Brand’s dalliance with the far right through his videos on the topic of Tucker Carlson. In Chapter One, through the lens of Russell’s infatuation, we saw how Tucker Carlson had turned his back on corporate media to reveal their role as a tool of the global elite, and we saw how Tucker’s firing from Fox News is yet another precursor to the long-wished-for demise of the Mainstream Media. But we also saw Russell's own surprising descent into a politics of division at odds with his facade of unity and inclusion.

In Chapter Two, we shall see the fallout from Tucker’s departure from Fox as the accolades stream in from some surprising sources! And we shall ask the question on everyone’s lips… Is Tucker Carlson really a fascist? But first, let us meet,

Tucker The Charmer

The third in the series of Russell’s videos that we are reviewing was posted on April 30, 2023, and titled “I Worked For Tucker…” Saagar Enjeti Gives INSIGHTS into Tucker & Fox News. It is more Tucker-centric than the previous videos but still manages to be quite content-free as Russell and presumed journalist Saagar Enjeti compare notes on their personal experiences of the man who, you’ll be surprised to find out is, “an iconoclastic and independent voice willing to speak out against both the left and right despite the ongoing charges from people on the left that he uses dog whistle racism”. 

But if Tucker is speaking out against both the left and the right, why are only the left objecting to his dog whistle racism? 

I suppose this is an effort by Russell to simultaneously deny Tucker’s racism while throwing scorn at the left for their supposed hyper-sensitivity to anything even approaching racism, but it kind of backfires by admitting that the right is tolerant of Tucker’s dog-whistle racism. Thing is, there are voices on the right willing to confront Tucker - but they’ve almost entirely been sidelined. Here’s former Fox News colleague Shepherd Smith confronting Tucker’s denial of the existence of white supremacy and here’s Rick Wilson, former GOP strategist and founding member of the Lincoln Project tweeting that “Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox to spend more time with his fascism”. Tucker IS racist, and right-wing enablers like Brand and Enjeti are willing to tolerate and cover for it.

Enjeti reveals that Tucker was actually fired from Fox News, actually, because he was telling the truth about Jan 6th actually being a false flag instigated by FBI agents provocateur, actually, led by a guy called Ray Epps,  actually. Also a topic of conversation that Russell has been parroting recently. Unfortunately, Enjeti’s insider knowledge did not extend to the impending defamation lawsuit levelled against Fox News by Mr Epps. Not surprisingly, Tucker hasn’t endorsed this view of his firing, and I’m sure the fact he may have some personal liabilities that could make him a subject of the lawsuit and will be relying on Fox to cooperate on a possible legal defence hasn’t influenced his stance on that matter one iota.

Meanwhile, Russell reveals that Tucker let him do a wee in the garden! What a guy!

But, overall, it was a bit of a non-event - Russell fawns over Enjeti’s “Breaking Points” podcast for its entirely novel concept of teaming up hosts who supposedly fall on opposite ends of the political spectrum. If only the mainstream media could do such a thing! They have, of course; there’s NPR’s  “Left, Right and Center”, a weekly radio show which has been running since 1996. In the UK, a familiar format of radio shows like Any Questions and TV’s Question Time see a public audience put questions to a panel drawn from across the political spectrum- Russell Brand being a notable panellist in 2014. CNN aired a program called Crossfire with a cross-party-lines premise from 1982 through to 2005 before it was pulled off the air because it had descended into partisan hackery, bullying of guests and extremist talking points. At least according to Jon Stewart, when he appeared on the show to lambast the host responsible for this descent, one Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson!

Stewart’s devastating takedown resulted in the show's cancellation and Tucker’s firing from CNN. A humiliation so profound that Tucker disappeared into obscurity, never to be heard from again. Only joking! The publicity generated by Stewart’s appearance on Crossfire meant that after he was fired Tucker was immediately snapped up by MSNBC and given his own show, imaginatively titled “Tucker” (remember, that’s the same MSNBC that Russell claims is both insufficiently left-wing while being left-wing propagandistic nut-crackery). Tucker did, however, lose the trademark bow tie, a habit he had picked up from his posh prep-school days and as much of a symbol of his class status as wearing it into adulthood was simultaneously an assertion of that status and an admission of his fundamental class insecurity. 

Perhaps it is this class insecurity that makes Tucker so keen to label his perceived enemies as a “ruling class”. Even his assaults against society’s most marginalized and vulnerable are presented as being directed at the elites who supposedly control them; immigrants make us poorer and dirtier, but that’s the plan of the liberals who are bringing them in. Tucker himself, meanwhile, cavorts with the ruling class of politicians and presidents and their would-be puppet masters - the shadowy billionaires who seek to shape our society for their benefit. In an interview for his show that Tucker declined to air, Dutch historian Rutger Bergman confronted him as “a millionaire funded by billionaires”, to launder their political agendas, citing Tucker’s tenure as a fellow at the Koch-funded Cato Institute and then as a host on Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News. And, as Tucker plans his next move (you didn’t think that Twitter thing was anything but a mild distraction?), it looks like he’ll be in the pockets of political shrinking violets Peter Thiel and Rebecca Mercer.

But whether it’s giving them a leg up in the world of partisan journalism or urinating in the backyard, both Enjeti and Russell are convinced of Tucker’s down-to-earth bone fifes as a humble man of the people and champion of the masses, based on their personal experiences.  And that makes him, well, a super mensch!

Like, what did they expect? Just because someone can be charming in a face-to-face setting does not preclude them from being a malignant force for evil elsewhere. It’s almost definitional - “charismatic, authoritarian leaders”. What is this blindness that seems to afflict people like Brand? You see the same thing with Trump; here he is in 2020 praising Q Annon conspiracists who “like me very much”. And, of course, here he is responding to Putin’s flattery. And China’s Xi. And Korea’s Kim.

Here’s a GQ article describing Tucker as “Dr Jekyll the charmer, and Mr Hyde the takedown artist”, who flatters and schmoozes his guests off air only to savage them when the cameras roll, and then return to his charming Dr Jekyll routine when the cameras are off again.

Some people just don’t seem to understand that flattery and charm can be manipulative. Others understand it all too well - we call them psychopaths!

Russell and Enjeti move on to pat themselves on the back as the inheritors of the collapsing mass media - an unedifying sight, so we’ll move on to the next video, released on May 2, 2023 “THEY ARE AFRAID!” Tucker Breaks Silence On Fox Departure, which gives us…

Tucker The Pacifist

Russell’s next video reflects on Tucker’s first statement after leaving Fox, and his announcement that he will be doing a show on the Twitter. Russell is keen to point out that the “Pentagon and Department of Defense are cheering his departure”, and implies it’s because of Tucker’s “anti-war” stance. Yeah, they’re probably more happy about the departure of a bigot who repeatedly targeted the military with his misogyny and transphobia.

Here he is in December 2020, claiming the military had gone “woke”, joking that the military leadership now resembles the “anthropology department at Wesleyan”. A joke so good he felt like repeating it just three months later in March of 2021, claiming the military had now gone “full woke”, and it consequently resembled “the Yale faculty with cruise missiles”.

It was Tucker’s sickening transphobia which prompted Trump’s Transgender ban in the military, and far from Tucker being reviled by the military establishment, a respected general who spoke out against Tucker’s sexist attacks found himself targeted and investigated for his audacity in standing up for his troops against a TV bigot. The US army, living up to its motto of “This we’ll defend”; this other thing?, er, maybe not.

And as for his apparent anti-war stance? Didn’t stop Tucker from mocking the military that “couldn’t defeat the Taliban”.

Russell goes on to express surprise that “people that oppose Tucker on cultural issues” aren't willing to work with him “when it comes to things like criticism of the war”. Really? Imagine not being able to overcome your aversion to white supremacist, transphobic misogynistic bigots in order to express your mutual support for Vladimir Putin’s war of choice? And why is it that this issue, supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is THE unifying issue for these dildos?

Tucker’s firing is, to Russell, the lamentable departure of the only “anti-war” voice (actually pro-Putin) at Fox, er, except for all the other ones, such as Greg Gutfeld (and again), and Laura Ingraham (and again).

According to Russell, Tucker’s arguments are exactly “what was once known as the radical left just 20 years ago; the counter-cultural movement, the Civil Rights Movement, Black Panthers, women's movement”. Really? Tucker Carlson is the modern-day Black Panthers and Civil Rights Movement! 

F*ck me backwards, Russell. What has become of you?

But all of this is just so much build-up to the main event of Tucker’s Twitter announcement which is presented interspersed with Russell’s commentary. Tucker talks about “stepping away from the noise” and appreciating how nice people are (presumably, he did not run into this chap again)  and how they really care about what’s true. He talks about how trivial much of the news is and how the important things that will dictate our future, such as “demographic change”, are ignored. How the two US political parties collude so that the US looks like a one-party state that is resorting to force as a means of control, but that is futile because of the “iron law of the universe; true things prevail!”

Tucker probably should not be rooting for a universe in which truth prevails. He wouldn’t last a minute. Texts uncovered as part of the Dominion voting machine lawsuit against Fox reveal Tucker’s alarm at Fox News accurately reporting on Biden’s election victory, objecting to the truthful reporting as damaging to Fox’s viewer numbers and Fox’s share value. Truth, obviously, very much secondary to profit. And then there were the revelations that, despite four years of shameless on-air sycophancy, Tucker despised Trump as “a demonic force, a destroyer”. Truth, obviously, very much secondary to the political project. And then there’s just the daily churn of lies that constituted Tucker’s output at Fox, which are too long to catalogue here, but can be viewed over at PolitiFact, and supported by the courts who described Tucker on Fox as not “'stating actual facts about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in exaggeration and non-literal commentary”.

Truth is, truth has no meaning or value to Tucker; he will say whatever he thinks is expedient to his project and agenda from one moment to the next, with zero concern for facts or fear of accusations of hypocrisy.

For his part, Russell confesses that, as someone who observed Tucker, he “personally felt that [Tucker]  was getting disillusioned with the limitations of operating within a mainstream space”. Lucky for Tucker that he got fired from his mainstream space and can indulge his ambitions to spend more time on the internet, fronting Elon Musk’s death-throws Twitter and guesting on Russell’s Rumble channel. Keep chasing that rainbow, dude!

Russell also expresses the dawning realization that, maybe, just maybe, Fox News might be a reflection of Rupert Murdoch’s own ideology! These are the insights that we come to Russell Brand for! Who would’ve thought that Rupert Murdoch’s agendas might’ve infused the output of Fox News? I sure hope Russell does a video about what bears do in the woods because I’m at a complete loss.

In a further flexing of Russell’s analytical muscle, he goes on to reveal that Tucker’s “demographic change” comment is “the subject that people say suggests that Tucker Carlson is talking about race and the balance between different races in America and stuff like that”. 

Oh, well said. With such eloquence and perspicacity! Unafraid to confront difficult topics and ideas head on. Such balance and nuance - “stuff like that”. It is well seeing why Russell’s loquaciousness is celebrated. 

Russell assures us that he “wouldn't participate in the promotion of any ideas that turn people of different cultures, colours, races, ideologies, against one another“. I mean, unless they’re people from Senegal and Iceland - as we saw in Chapter One - Russell tells us those buggers are so committed to their cultural silos that they can’t even be left alone in a room together! Or unless you have an ideological disagreement on gun control or female bodily autonomy, in which case you can’t even live in the same country!

But outside of politics, race or culture, Russell simply will not thole promotion of anything that divides people. And I’m sure that position will be entirely supported as we continue on this journey, and we won’t find Russell doing anything wacky and uncharacteristic. Like actively supporting and promoting divisive, racist ideas designed to prop up white supremacists. This brings us to…

Tucker The Unifier

Russell is advocating that “New ideas will come from new alliances and new conversations”, in the context of his ongoing dialogue with racist conspiracy theorist Tucker Carlson, I wonder who Russell is planning on allying with and what they will be conversing about?

Well, if Russell is involved in the conversation, we know it will be a load of old bollocks, which is lucky because Russell’s sponsor today is Manscape, the market leader in men’s below-the-waist grooming! And if you are a marketer at Manscape, you might want to reconsider having Russell as a brand ambassador. If he keeps going at this rate, some of his new mates and allies might be more inclined to use their “lawnmower” trimmers for shaving their skin-heads instead of their ball-sacks! Unless that’s the new target demographic, the “back, crack, sack and scalp” crowd.

And to explore the possibilities of a glorious alliance between the left and far-right, Russell invokes a truly baffling puff piece on Tucker published by the left-wing American Prospect magazine. Tucker is a “solvent to authority” willing to “challenge and mock ruling Elites”. Tucker, “an outlier in corporate-owned cable news” who “tapped into populist insights cutting through left and right-wing Echo Chambers and put in hard questions to corporate Executives and members of the political establishment”, whose monologues “could have been lifted from a stump speech by Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders”. It lauds a story Tucker did on the impact to the town where outdoor store Cabela was headquartered after their merger with Bass Pro Shops as having “few equals in broadcast news”. Wow - praise indeed.

Fun Conspiracy Fact™! The chap responsible for the merger of Cabela and Bass Pro Shops, described by Tucker as a “New York finance mogul” who destroyed  “a good American town”, just happens to be Jewish! What are the chances? 

Few equals in broadcast news, indeed.

Russell didn’t read the follow-up article from American Prospect published two days later, after they received reader backlash. “The Real Tucker Carlson: A neofascist who opposes corporate globalism is still a neofascist - and a threat to democracy”, which pointed out that in the prior article’s “focusing on Carlson’s opposition to corporate globalism, it missed a very large forest for some very cherry picked trees”. No sh*t!

But is it really fair to call Tucker a fascist? Well, on the same day as the puff piece (April 25th), the American Prospect’s own podcast bid “Farewell to a Crypto-Nazi Blowhard”. And the Guardian seems to think so, also responding to the American Prospect piece “Tucker Carlson is not an anti-war populist rebel. He is a fascist”. And here’s The New Republic giving us a retrospective of “The 10 Most Fascist Things Tucker Carlson Said on Air”. 

Yeah, but they are all just liberal cucks, they would say that! We want new conversations with new allies, we need some balance from the “periphery”. Well, we can get some of that balance from self-declared neo-Nazi, Andrew Anglin, founder of the Daily Stormer website (named after the 1930’s Nazi Party newspaper, Der Sturmer), where he declared Tucker Carlson “literally our greatest ally”.

Most of these articles focus on Tucker’s barely masked white supremacy, frequently referring to his espousal of the antisemitic Great Replacement theory. Here’s NPR’s delightful Terry Gross asking “Has Tucker Carlson Created the Most Racist Show in the History of Cable News” by directly borrowing language and concepts from, not just conservatives, but white nationalists and “neo-nazis”. 

But, truth be told, white supremacy has pretty much been the default setting in the USA since day one - chattel slavery, a vicious racial caste system, apartheid, and inbuilt institutional racism. To be honest, I’d be hard pushed to identify exactly when, or even if, the US stopped being a white supremacist state!

So is it fair to label Carlson a fascist based on his white supremacy alone?

The difficulty of identifying and labelling fascists is that there is no fundamental underlying ideology; fascism is action powered by a set of motivating grievances. And those actions, the manifestation of the grievances, change shape and form depending on how far along the path to control a particular fascist movement has progressed.

These features are described in Robert Paxton’s 2002 book Anatomy of Fascism, where the author identifies a set of “mobilizing passions” rather than a “consistent and fully articulated philosophy”. Maybe we can use those passions as a benchmark to compare with good old Tucker, let’s see…

  • A sense of overwhelming crisis beyond the reach of any traditional solutions:
    Here’s Tucker doing a chicken-little routine on his Fox News show with “Civilization is Unravelling”. And again, “This is what the collapse of civilization looks like”. And here he is on immigration “Border crisis is an invasion of our country”, which apparently can’t be dealt with by traditional civil means, but requires the deployment of the military!
  • The primacy of “the group”:
    That’ll be some of that White Supremacism that Tucker’s been so frequently accused of. He’s said “White men” deserve credit for “creating civilization” (on that cultural pinnacle of civilization, the  Bubba the Love Sponge podcast). He’s claimed that European colonization of the Americas led to “more human freedom and happiness” and “far less human sacrifice and cannibalism” and was keen to claim on the 16th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks that “not all cultures are equal” and that the US must “treasure and try to preserve” that which makes it “distinct”.
  • The belief that “the group” is a victim, which justifies any action against its enemies, both internal and external:
    We can check the victim box with Tucker’s embrace of the great replacement theory and his fear of immigrants such as in 2019 claiming that immigration policy was being driven by “a vested interest in changing the population”. In 2021 he described Biden’s immigration policy as “the great replacement” and “eugenics” against “legacy” Americans. In 2022 he claimed that Democrats want to “change the electorate” by replacing “people who are born here” and that “great replacement” was “not a conspiracy. It’s their [Democrats’] election strategy” with the intention of replacing “legacy Americans with more obedient people from faraway countries”. He’s claimed that “elite culture” is “united in their contempt” for “white men”.
    In the justification for action box, we’ve got him in 2022 as an apologist for racial violence by white supremacists claiming that “race politics” inevitably leads to “violence and death”. There’s his defence of “qualified immunity” the legal doctrine that allows police officers to use excessive force, frequently directed at minority individuals, and his support for Trump’s personal Gestapo, ICE, the US immigration cops, calling them  “a basic principle of Anglo-American civilisation”.
  • Dread of “the group’s” decline under the corrosive effects of liberalism, class conflict, and alien influences:
    We see Tucker’s fears of liberalism’s ills in his attacks on “wokeness”, including, as already discussed, blaming moves to accommodate women and LQBTQ individuals for a supposed decline in US military effectiveness. And who can forget Tucker’s stoking of the woke M&M’s scandal or his panicky “End of Men” pseudo-documentary? On a more sinister note is his blaming of a liberal agenda as contributing to the alienation of young men and, therefore as a cause of mass shootings
    As for the impact on the group of class conflict, Tucker has frequently warned about a supposedly ongoing class war, claiming that accusations of racism and white supremacy are used to belittle and split white identity, claiming “what you’re watching now is class war disguised as race war”. And here’s “Elites using identity politics to preserve class system
    Tucker is perennially obsessed with the idea of the decline and fall of “Western civilization”, a dog whistle for the supposed affronts to traditional (i.e. white European) culture from the presence of other cultures. There’s his racist and hysterical scaremongering that movements for racial justice and recognition of the experience of African Americans (contemporary and historical) are a threat to civilization - he’s described Black Lives Matter protests as an “insidious challenge [to] Western Civilization itself” and claims that Critical Race Theory is “civilization-ending poison”. But it’s not just the cultural that is threatened - Tucker’s obsession with “demographic shift” belies a fear of a physical dilution of the nation’s racial identity in true blood-and-soil fashion. Tucker has claimed that “demographic shifts” will lead to cities being “broke, dirty, and dangerous”, and not just cities but the entire US, claiming that immigrants degrade America, making it “poorer and dirtier” and that ethnic diversity is “radically and permanently changing our country”. He’s claimed that immigration leads to wage decline among the existing (white) population, which then reduces “the attractiveness of men as potential spouses, thus reducing fertility and especially marriage rates” - little more than a rehashing of the old trope “they’re coming over here, taking our jobs, taking our women!”.
  • The need for closer integration of a purer community, by exclusionary violence, if necessary:
    Well, Tucker certainly doesn’t like a diverse community, claiming that advocating for diversity “gets you to civil war” and that diversity would lead people to “hate each other”. He’s claimed that integration of US schools “wrecked” the American education system. And both his fear of immigration and the underlying assumption of the Great Replacement is an implicit assertion that other - alien - communities are immiscible with Tucker’s community of “legacy Americans”; for example, insisting that Democrats want to “import an entirely new electorate from the Third World and change demographics of the US so completely that they’ll never lose again”. What are the factors that would make this change in “demographics” exclusively favourable to “Democrats” in perpetuity? Unless you assumed that assimilation with the existing population was somehow physically impossible? We’ve already seen his keenness to enroll state violence for the purpose of excluding others, whether it is sending troops to the border, supporting ICE or enabling police brutality.
  • The need for authority by natural leaders (always male), culminating in a national chief who alone is capable of incarnating the group’s destiny:
    We see the need for the authoritarian strongman leader in Tucker’s man-crush on Hungary’s Victor Orban, a certain little Vladimir V. Putin in Moscow,  and, of course, in his public boosting for Trump while in the Whitehouse. And, yes, I know that Tucker was disparaging of Trump behind closed doors, but his unwavering public support contributes to the overall fascist project. 
  • The superiority of the leader’s instincts over abstract and universal reason:
    As part of his “kiss and make-up” interview in the wake of those Trump critical texts, Tucker praised Trump to his audience as “a man caricatured as an extremist, [but] we think you’ll find what he has to say moderate, sensible and wise”, and in his interview with Russell Tucker claims that Trump’s “right and everyone in Washington is wrong”. Again, this is at odds with Tucker’s private sentiments but aligns with the larger project.
  • The beauty of violence and the efficacy of will when they are devoted to the group’s success:
    To be fair to Tucker, he hasn’t spent much time publicly advocating or celebrating violence. That’s a bit much, even for Fox News. He has attempted to rationalize or justify white supremacist violence, but that falls short of celebrating or beautifying it. But we do get a glimpse in one of the text messages uncovered by the Dominion lawsuit. We’ll discuss this at more length in Chapter Three, but after initial revulsion at video of an attack by three “Trump supporters” on an “antifa kid” Tucker finds himself rooting for the assailants to kill their victim. Tucker ultimately pulls back from the brink, declaring that this is not who he wants to be, but it nonetheless reveals the potential for a fetishized, emotional support of violence in the name of his cause. One to watch! 
  • The right of the chosen people to dominate others without restraint… right being decided by the sole criterion of the group’s prowess within a Darwinian struggle:
    Again, one of those passions that is difficult to articulate fully in the current public sphere, even as a Fox News host! But we’ve got the “zero sympathy” position for Iraqis with accompanying demand that they should “just shut the f*ck up and obey” and I guess that his attempts to suppress Black Lives Matter and CRT reflect a desire to remove restrictions on the “chosen people to dominate others”. 

Note: examples of Tucker exhibiting most of the above-listed passions can be seen in this NYT interactive and comprehensive analysis of Tucker Carlson Tonight from 2016 through 2021. An interesting point, the analysis shows that Tucker has now transferred the “shut up and obey” line he used against Iraqis in 2006, to the mouths of his fictional “ruling class” as they seek to control his audience.

So, how does Tucker measure up? On the whole, pretty fascy! But that doesn’t stop Russell from yearning for his “new ideas”, “new alliances” and “new conversations” that will replace the “old orthodoxies”. But if you form alliances with fascists, what do those new conversations look like? What ideas do they give birth to? And what new orthodoxies are embraced? And at what cost?

Paxton, in his book, describes how fascism changes throughout the development of the fascist project. We often think of rigidly enforced conformity as being a hallmark of fascism, and it is, but it does not emerge fully formed until later in the fascist project. In its early stages, fascism is willing to ally with groups and individuals that it subsequently abandons, shuns, or even violently suppresses. History books on Nazi Germany are littered with figures who initially supported the Nazis but later regretted their stance. Consider The Night of the Long Knives - a self-purge where the Nazi Party, once in power, expunged itself of now undesirable figures. This included leftist elements of the party and the homosexual leader of the Brown Shirts - a lesson and warning to anyone of a leftist or progressive tilt who may be considering chumming up with today’s far-right.

Incidentally, while talking about his supposed new alliances,  Russell uses the term “periphery against the centre” about a half dozen times throughout the course of these videos - an unusually consistent phraseology for Russell’s stream of ADHD consciousness, so I go looking for sources. 

I soon dismiss the “centre-periphery model”, which attempts to explain the structural relationship between an advanced ‘centre’ and a less developed ‘periphery’; the idea is popular amongst leftist economists to describe the exploitation of developing economies by developed capitalist ones, but is altogether too wonky (in the American sense), for our Russell. So I continue until I find this Tweet by Russell’s old pal Glenn Greenwald - actually a retweet of Leighton Woodward, a character who we will encounter in more detail in Part Three of this series “The Grifter Misinformation Complex”. It claims the original source of the concept “periphery versus centre” as Martin Gurri - a former CIA “media analyst” and self-published author of a book that very much looks like the inspiration for the griftery “Censorship Industrial Complex”.

So we’ll park this line of enquiry just now and recap Chapter Two: Russell is determined to let his personal experiences sway his judgment of Tucker Carlson who is, on the surface, a transphobic and racist bigot. But Russell isn’t alone - it appears there may be some on the left that also view Tucker as a heterodox champion against the orthodox mainstream. But they may want to check themselves before they wreck themselves because Tucker has some decidedly fascist tendencies, and fascists have a habit of making alliances that they subsequently betray.

But Maybe we’ll get a glimpse of how the centre allies itself to strike back at the periphery in Chapter 3 - “Tucker Carlson, His Struggle”.

Since then, he has been largely silent, his only public appearance being his scheduled live show on the night of September 16th, which was after the release of The Times’ article but before the airing of the Channel Four Dispatches expose. The video served as Russell’s attempt to get out ahead of the publication of the accusations. It is almost certain that he did this without the support of his legal team - the standard advice is to say
