The Malignant Loser and testicle- toasting frozen fish twit Tucker Carlson have a completely normal conversation about Ohio Republican Senate candidates:
In the days before Donald Trump endorsed J.D. Vance in Ohio’s Republican Senate primary, the former president huddled with his son, Don Jr., and several staffers at Mar-a-Lago. On the phone was Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a major ally of Vance’s.
After promising Trump that Vance was with him on the issues despite the candidate’s past anti-Trump comments, Carlson — according to three sources familiar with the matter — turned to a lurid closing argument. “You can’t trust” David McIntosh, the president of the conservative Club for Growth and a top backer of Vance’s rival Josh Mandel, Carlson claimed. McIntosh had just concluded his own phone call with Trump during that same midday meeting. The reason, Carlson asserted, is that McIntosh has an embarrassing and “chronic” personal sexual habit.
Rolling Stone cannot confirm the claim and will not repeat it. But during that phone call, the twice-impeached former president spent a notable amount of time gossiping and laughing about the prominent Republican’s penis and how “fucking disgusting” and “fucking gross” he allegedly was.
Trump had already displayed a long, abiding interest in Mandel’s own sex life, having spent months privately regurgitating and spreading salacious, unverified rumors that he’s heard about “fucking weird” Mandel’s supposed debauched ongoings. Carlson’s comments about the proclivities of Mandel’s patron threw both Trump and his son into fits of laughter. (our emphasis)
It's bringing coals to Newcastle to point out how the lurid, sexually explicit rumors -- here being shared by the gossip guys (notably the Malignant Loser, credibly accused of 25 sexual assaults over time) -- are part and parcel of a long tradition of Republican sexual perversity attempting to hide behind the party's veneer of "traditional family values." (You can search "Republican family values" on this website for examples of hypocritical Republican perverts and sexual assaulters.* Jordan Weissmann compiled a list of notable Republicans involved in sex crimes against minors, just going back to 2006.)
It's a powerful testament to the rot and overwhelming sickness in our country that these bottom- feeders have cult followings in the many millions, and that they continue to be treated as serious leaders and influencers by their rotted out party and by our broken political media.
* Or, look here for one just convicted.
